The hosts of Froidite Bolshevists,
as they are known by the "Paytri-
Oteering Loyalistic" denizens of the
mainline towns, the struggling remn-
ants of the "Old Lunacy League" :"
are marshaling their host and oiling
up their old artillery and polishing
their rusty swords, preliminary to
hanging the Iron Cross on the bud
ding hopes of Poplar, which town
seems to have been agreed upon in
a reported secret arrangement be-
tween several of the Mainline towns
as the "Lunacy League" candidate
for the county seat plum at the time
that the "Paytriots and Frank Vein
rich" got into the county division
game.
Marshal Moore, erstwhile member
Of the inner council of the old LUNA
ey League" is the Great Mififa of
Poplar forces, which he is carefully
training. He is said to be a strate-
gSt Of considerable fame and SO ably
assisted by Frank Weinrich, he is
considered in his home town as one
with a charmed life. He is the big
medicine man and will do the mean
tatiOnS for Poplar and rout the "Bol-
ShevistS" and tote home the bacon
for the "loyalists" at the reservation
town. The great contact will occur
some time in June, if the "Loyalists"
can't find a way to circumvent the
law providing for the calling for the
election, which will be done if pos
Sble.
This prospective county seat cleo

Frank Weinrich, the famous COM
missioner Of rare and valuable ex-
perience, of seed wheat and gofer
poison and sundry fame, who because
ne knew how, was made chairman OF
me board Of county commissioners of
roosevelt county by the "lunacy
league" paytriots of the Mainline
towns. For had not the "blindman'
gotten the county seat for Mondak
