fight. The campaign was we'll along when the
Woman's auxiliary took a hand and distributed
thousands of leaflets, explaining the bill and
ing the farmers against the propaganda carried
by the I. V. A. Later, when the count in, they
had the satisfaction Of learning that right in the
home town of the anti-League state superintendent
of schools, the educational bill ahead of all the
others for the affirmative This showing justified
the existence of the Woman's auxiliary at the first
tryout
When the Interstate fair was held at Fargo the
latter part of July, the Womans auxiliary rented
space and established restroom for and
children. The success of this venture was evidenced
by the popularity of the place. 1t was full all the
time.
But there is another purpose of the Woman's
auxiliary. That purpose is the effect that the
Auxiliary is to have upon the educational system of
the state and, therefore, upon the growing life of
the state. This is the really significant purpose of
the organization of the women of North Dakota.
In the cities the wives and daughters of numbers
of business and professional men are organized
into women's clubs which are affiliated with state
and national organizations. While it is true that
the opposition makes these clubs it's channels for
much propaganda against the League there is still
much general social and educational work done by
them. But from these organizations the wives and
daughters of the farmers are, as rule, excluded,
owing principally to their isolated situation, and
consequently their divergent interests. There has

working together in common, for a common purpose
that is bigger and deeper than just the mere win
ming of an existence from the soil. Working to win
and to maintain all that we hope and believe the
"New Day" is to be.
The Auxiliary will make itself the most ef-
fective agent in accomplishing this, by making
of itself the most effective agent to inspire and
infuse our women, and through them our whole
educational system, with social conscience
and social vision. 1t is big undertaking,
but the Nonpartisan league thrives upon big
undertakings. 1t has given to the astonished
world the spectacle of the farmers of state,
fighting shoulder to shoulder, victoriously, time
after time, against the most vicious organiza-
tion of wealth and power that crushed
liberal movement or crucifed reform leader.
In North Dakota the opposition is almost down
and out. They have one hope left, and that is the
woman vote. To swing that to their purposes they
will leave no stone unturned no lie unuttered.
But it must never be said of the women of North
Dakota, or any other state that it was their hands
that cast the die for reactionism and autocracy.
They must be educated to know the true from
the false. The Woman's auxiliary is in the field to
see to it that this work of education is done and
done right Will it succeed? Will the clubs do the
work? Will the women be- able to sign themselves
up without organizers? The answer lies with the
women themselves. Inspired with the enthusiasm
and the spirit of determination to carry it through,
the Womans auxiliary not fail to win gloriousy.

It is the hope Of those who are pushing the

AUXILIARY INTERESTS - +.~
WOMEN IN POLITICS
One woman wrote recently: "Just as as the
women join the Auxiliary, they begin to take an in
terest in things" This is the larger hope and pur
pose of this Auxiliary: That women shall learn to
'take interest in things" Until the invention of
the automobile this interest could not possibly exist
and even the husband had little concern for
the outside world than was related to the nearest
small town. Even yet some of the wives regard the
larger interests of their husbands with certain
amount Of jealous suspicion, and some of them
openly hostile to the League movement because it
"takes the away from home much more"
The solution of this attitude is found in the quota
tion from the woman who finds that "When they
join the Auxiliary, they take interest in
things" There is finer bigger "thing" to
command the interest, to work for and fight for,
than the accomplishment Of the League program,

not only IN North Dakota, but where
ever men are struggling for a larger
measure of political and economic.
freedom.
It is greatly to the credit of the
Nonpartisan league that, as a whole,
they are not only interested in the
Woman's auxiliary, but their interest
is an active, aggressive support. At
a picnic held this summer, just before
the referendum election, the secretary
of the Woman's auxiliary was present,
signing up the women and organizing
a club. One man came along, threw
So into her lap and announced: "Here,
sign up my two women. want them
to belong to this too." The two women
were his wife and daughter. Appar-
emily, they were to have nothing to
say about the matter, but fortunately
they were of the same opinion as their
man, for they both laughed and con-
Cured.
This is what the spirit of the Aux
iliary has got to be, if the enfranchise-
ment of women in North Dakota is not
to be tragedy. The men and women

ating. In North Dakota, where the Nonpartisan
league controls the state this problem of the
vote is being seriously considered and is the major
topic of conversation at the capitol.
One who has not been on the firing line in North
Dakota, where the battle ceases will probably
dispose of the situation with shrug and grin and
the bromidic remark: "They should worry The
woman always votes as her husband votes. The
farmers wife will vote the League ticket of
course!'
However comforting that solution may be to the
fellow the sdelines, those who watched the vote
in during the small hours of the nights fol-
lowing the last general election in North Dakota
do not feel quite so nonchalant about the matter,
for they have this disconcerting fact staring them
in the face: At that election, last fall the women
had the right to vote the Office of state superin-
tendent of schools and that office was the only one

lat Will the women do when they
get the vote? ?" This is the
question that is uppermost in
the minds of those who are
scanning the political horizon
for signs of the times. Particu-
larly is it a matter of vital i'm
portance in those states where

for they have this disconcerting fact ST
in the face: At that election, last fall,
had the right to vote on the Office of st;
tendent of schools, and that office was
to which an opponent of the League
was elected!
Of course, there are many explana-
tions of this occurrence-the flu, the
bad weather, the inability of the
farmer women to get to the polls, the
fact that woman ran on the ticket
against man, and that many of the
women voted for their sex rather than
for principle-all very reasonable and
acceptable excuses But, as some one
has said, "To explain a fact does not
alter it," There it stands. What does
it mean?
Quite patiently, it means that the
town women outvoted the country
women. The former went to the polls,
almost without exception. The oppo-
sition saw to it that they did. 1t is
said they even furnished conveyances
for the housewives and nurses for
their children. The country women,
having no such privileges, stayed at
home. Hundreds of rural polling
places were not opened that day at all.

1T has been found increasingly diff

a daily change of program, pictures
OF Jess weight have in many cases
had to be secured and some times
the pictures have not appeared at
all and hurry ca.N have been sent
for substitutes. With a change OF

GOLD SEEKERS
SAIL FROM NOME
FOR FAR NORTH

Nome, Alaska, July 1+(By Mai)
twenty nine weather bronzed ex-
plorers hailing from every quarter Of
the globe and bound for some mystic
rious country Of northern Siberia.
left here tonight aboard the sailing
schooner Casco. once the property Of
Robert Louis Stevenson.
Fears were expressed by Nome
residents before the boat left that it
would not be able to get through into
the Arctic Ocean. as reports received
here recently said the Behring
Straits were still blocked with ice.
Members of the ships company
said they were bound for some point
in a vast uninhabited territory lying
along the Arctic shore Of Siberia be-
tween East Cape and the Lena river.
They would not divulge the exact To-
cation of their destination.
The party is known as the North
ern Mining and Trading Company
and is led by 8. I. McGirk. a mining
engineer Of Hamilton. Tex. president
Of the company. A. L. johnson, an.
other OF the party. is vice-president.
Captain G. L. Oliver ID master Of the
adventure ship.
With the exception Of the destina-
ton there Is little mystery about the
expedition. McGirk said while here.
He asserted that the party possess
certain knowledge about the country
for which they are heading and are
aiming to explore the section and ind
what it contains. No rich gold strikes
are expected. he declared.
The Casco may be sent back from
the North this fall. after landing her
passengers at their destination.
