To permit the operation of rail-
roads, mines, telegraph and tele-
phone lines and other public utilities
by the workers would mean, in Con-
gresham Ioung's judgment, a tre-
mendous increase in the cost of liv-
ing to the farmers as we'll as people
generally OF the state. This, is of
interest in view of the fact that
Young vas endorsed for Congress by
the Nonpartisan League and that
Governor Frazier and the League
publications have come f1atfooted for
the Plumb system. foung's conten-
ton appears to be that the Plumb
p'2n Is designed to promote the well
fare OF the labor organizations as
against consumers generally, includ-
ing The farmer.

mold her position, handed down last
wednesday, the decision of the

with interest. The five supreme
court justices were unanimous in
supporting Judge Nuessle of the dis

ciared N. c. Mcdonald did not "have
leg to tand on in his contention
that Miss Nelson was not legally
elected and qualified. The board of
administration among other things
done to strip Miss Nelson of all DOW

Failure of the Governor to act i.

Failure of the Governor to act in
the Beach case wherein Sherifi Pier
zina and States Attorney Gallagher
were removed from office pending IN
Investigation of charges preferred by
Golden Valley residents, has caused
considerable speculation.
Attorney Y. j. Krause, Mandan,
who listened to the arguments, has
stated that someone made Il mistake
in trying TO inject politics into the
affair, or into the. Bowen murder
case. This coming from the COVER
nor's appointee, is decidedly inter
esting. 1t is known that Attorney
James Manalan VINO was counsel for
the governor, requested Frazier to
meet him and go with him to ST.

REV. EDWIN CALDWELL
( HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Car Plunges Into River and He Has
Z Difficulty i'm Extricating
Himself.

Rev Edwin Caldwell, a former Dill
lon boy and son of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
E. Caldwell, had narrow escape one
night last week when the car in
which he was riding plunged into a
deep river near Georgetown.
Mr., Caldwell was on his way to
Georgetown where he was to hold a
meeting. He had to cross ferry and
was told that the ferry was about a
mile distant. He had gone only a
few yards when the rived loomed up
in front of him. He applied the brakes
but the car was on an incline and
glided down the muddy embankment.
It plunged into deep water and in a
few moments the water' was up to
Mr.. Caldwelrs neck. It was a closed
car and Mr.. Caldwell tried to force
the door open but the pressure of the
water against 1t was too strong and
he smashed the glass and made his
escape. The hour was late and Mr..
Caldwell found himself alone in the
darkness with his car under IL feet
of water. He hailed and the ferryman
on the opposite side of the river came
over and took him to his shanty. Mr.
Caldwell remained at the ferryman's
shanty until next morning when help
was secured and the car removed from
the river.
