Campaign Notes.

Campaign notes are mostly tens,
twentys and fifties. The slush
funds are very deep in the exposed
suburbs and deeper in the cities.
The DOODLE drifts are right up
to the candidates money pockets.
Weather statistics from the cam
paign headquarters show record
slush fall of s567s to the square
pocket, against 1925 in 1916.
Senator Grabbitt buzzes: Il am
against the abuse of slush money.
Nobody can abuse slush money in
my presence"
Ex-Governor Candy Bawtt: 81 am

a ten I will take an Article ""
Senator Gottis Price: "The exist
ence of a s15. 1000 900 fund is enough
to frighten every honest man in
this country. ! am not scared"

The Candidate: 81 will not con-
tribute one cent toward my election

story that I ever paid for anything
Is false. do not believe in bribery
especially at the present high prices.
Our party Is noble, upright, and
honest, unless somebody has

duced directly from the originals

or two, and while here will be on ex-
hibit for the benefit of our school and
community. lou and your family and
friends are invited to the Exhibit.

vate individuals or public art galleries
in different parts of the, world and
many of them could not be purchased
at any price. Porter Prints are the
best pictures obtainable and, in true
worth, are next to the originals from
which they are produced.
All money realized from paid -ad-
missions, from the sale of catalogs'
and SO 1-3 per cent Of all pictures
sold, goes to the Bottineau schools
for the purpose of purchasing pic
lures for our schools. Prices range
from 40 cents to $1,000, according to
size.

GONE IS THE GLORY OF SCOT
LAND
(Saint Andrews Day 1920

Gone, gone is the glory of Scotland,
A nation no more, nor a name
No longer may liberty linger
With naught to replenish the flannel
The CLEAN that thy wallace restored
thee
Hath fled from the carrie and glen
Where now is the light that shall lead
thee?
Who blsd for the ransom again?
AS dream, or star that hath fallen
Where heroes and patriots trod-
The flower of thy forests have per-
ished;
Cries ring from the serfs of the sod.
The lone of the sea are remembering
When thou vert the mother of men;
The wraiths of the mighty are asking
Who'll give thee thine honor again?
There's grieving in island and moor
And tears on the banks of the Clyde
The sons of the shieling are banished
The lads o. the clachan have died
But the gowan is sprlnging mavour-
neen;
The thistle still waves in the glen
And scattered and leal who are long
ing
For the flame to be kindled again.
Gone, gone is the glory of Scotland,
A name and nation no more!
Land where our heroes have perished;
Lone land of the wave and the shore
But the heather's still purple mavour-
neen;
Shows CLEAN on the brae and the
ben ~
And hearts that now sorrow in secret
Shall arise and restore thee again.

|. Y. A. BANK Law
MAY PROVE DEMON
BANKER-POLITICIANS OF NORTH
DAKOTA APPARENTLY HAVE :
CREATED A MONSTER -

Mandan, Nov. 27.-At a special
meeting here of bankers representing
the Missouri Slope Group of the N.
D. bankers association and local pub
lie treasurers Committee of nine was
named to confer at an early date with
officials of the Bank of North Dako-
ia for the purpose Of devising some
plan whereby the sudden withdrawal
of state money from private banks
may not cause the financial situation
to tighten up any more. -
The present crisis is due almost en-
,tirely to the I. V. A. initiated law
which permits borough, county, town
ship and school district officials to
take their funds out, of the Bank of
North Dakota at will.
When I. v. A. banker politicians in
lated this measure, they believed it
would permanently cripple the conn:
mon peoples bank, but developments
since the election indicate that they
may accidently get in the same pickle
as Victor Frankenstein, one Of the
principal characters in Mrs. Shelley's
horror story "Frankenstein, or the
Prometheus."
Persons who have read Mrs. Shell
ley's- strange novel will recall that
Victor Frankenstein became deeply
engrossed in the study of the' origin
of life and eventually acquired the
ability to impart animation to inan-
innate objects. Next Frankenstein
conceived the idea Of manufacturing
a real flesh-and- man. This
much accomplished he endowed it
with life and turned it loose in the
world.
Strange to relate, however, the ar
tifcially-created man proved to be a
monster-a fendish demon of He'll. 1t
turned upon Frankenstein, murdered
his brother and made a pitiable wreck
of him. This huge soulless fiend is
called '"The Modern Prometheus, or
Demon"
Law May Be Monster
Keen observers do not hesitate to
to say that the I. v. A. banker-poli-
ticians responsible for the passage OF
the law aimed at "liquidating" the
Bank of North Dakota may eventually
have the same experience as Frank
enstein. The statute is already turn
ing upon it's creators, and now they
are sadly wondering what in the world
ever possessed them to impart vitality
to such an "imp of Hell.'
