The parade, notice OF when was

gent representations by national ne

was small wonder that when the
long white robed parade came In
sight down the main street there
were very few if any negroes abroad,
either in the bus ness section or, in
fact, In any part of the city. With the
coming of darkness most OF the negro
population got indoors. .

that members of the ku klux Khan

Rejoicing in the denomination of
the chorus that hates Clothes" the
Tickle Me" coryphees. on account
of the generous exposure of their
Alabaster wares, have been obliged
to battle themselves virtually in
freight-car quantities of talcum pow

Incidentally. this may account for
he present market shortage of this
feminine commodity. Anyway the
girls have been paying for this tai

talcum expense Is no mean item to
these poor girls.

that he was under no expense what

MISS HART MEETS PARENTS

A very interesting meeting of the
parents of the children in the first
grade of the Central School was held
Tuesday afternoon. ...
Miss Hart lead the discussion Of the
tonic "What the Home Cap and Should
Do in the Education Of the Child"
Miss Hart emphasized the motto
"Early to bed and early to rise, at
least early enough so that the children
can be given substantial breakfast
before school time. The need Of play
in the life of a child in the out-of-
school hours was pointed out. The
ssfunny' section of the Sunday paper
was recognized as having educational
value. Children should have the oppor-
tunity of becoming familiar with
Mother Goose rhymes, fairy tales, etc.
Parents can tell or read stories to
children and they can listen to the
stories told by the children. In the
home children should have opportun-
ity in cutting out pictures and making
scrap books. In the first grade the
child can do considerable practice IN
writing at home. Children should not
take home their school readers, but
other readers may be purchased for
home reading. A list Of suitable sup
Elementary reading books will be sent
to the parents in a couple OF weeks.
Parents should not attempt to teacn
phonics but should pronounce dlfflcult
words directly for the child.
Miss Hart's remarks were followed
,by a general discussion by the moth
ers present. The general opinion, as
expressed, indicated the need OF such
meeting frequently. "A meeting OF 9
similar nature where the parents will
lead the discussion will be planned Tor
IN about four weeks.
The parents present were: Mes

n. D. ELECTION
PROVES HEAVY BLOW
I NEARLY ALL LEAGUE CANDI-
DATES CARRIED BY LARGE
. MAJORTTIES ~

The election Tuesday Nov. 2, was
crushing bio VITO reaction in North
Dakota, the Nonpartisan Leabue en-
erging from the bitterest and hardest
fought campaign in it's history mater
tally strengthened. Governor Lynn j.
Frazier was elected to a third term
by the Farmer-Labor forces by ma
jority now estimated at we'll over
5000. William Lemke, League NOM
inee for attorney. general, won out by
a large margin as did Howard Wood,
aspirant for lieutenant governor, D.
G. Poindexter, candidate for state aa-
ditor, John N. Hagen, commissioner
Of agriculture and labor, s. A. Ols-
ness, commissioner Of insurance,
Frank Milhollan and w. G. McDonntll,
railroad commissioners.
Another especially gratifying result
Of the contest was the election Of Dr..
Edwin f. Ladd to the United States
senate. DR.. Ladd will be the first SEN
ator elected on League platform. Ac-
cording to latest estimates, his major
ity will range around $4,000. .
Mr.. Lemke is about 5000 votes in
the lead with 400 precincts to hear
from. John N. Hagen and S. A. Ols-
ness both polled larger votes yet
Their majorities on the face OF In
complete returns are overwhelming.
Miss Nelson Wins
Miss Minnie Nelson has major
'ity thus far for superintendent Of pub
lis instruction and Chief Justice A. M.
Christensen Of the Supreme Court is
also running ahead Of Seth Richard
son, his League opponent. Tom Hall
won out as secretary Of state and
John Steen was reelected state treas
urer. .
Apparently all the five I. v. A. in
itiated laws have carried with 700 pre-
cincts unreported the affirmative vote
is from 5000 to 10000 larger than
the negative.
The Nonpartisan League is reason
ably sure Of controlling the next state
senate. Pending an official count, how
ever, the personnel Of the new house
bids fair to remain in doubt.
Incomplete returns show that Lea
que publications have been elected of
ficial papers in at least 30 countess
possibly more. ..

HIGH SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT

On Wednesday evening Nov, oath,
1920 Bottineau High School will give
an entertainment in the Grand The
atre at 8 o'clock.
The program will consist of two
parts. The first part will be the pres
entation Of a Thanksgiving pageant,
"The Soul of Priscilla" in which sew
enty High School students will take
part.
Synopsis
~ Priscilla has slept for 300 years,
dreaming all Of the time of the old
days when she was a girl in Plymouth
and of the years to come when modern
children would observe the feast of
Thanksgiving and tell the old stories
of primitive times. Columbia issues
her usual Thanksgiving Proclamation
and then summons Priscilla to wake
and tell her own story. Priscilla wakes
and tells her dreams.

a Home Talent Play, ''Me and Bill"
written by Benjamin Sherman. This
play was written by a North Dokota
boy at the University of North Dako-
ia. It is a brilliant flash of tragedy
and contains a clever piece of char
acter work. "Me and Bill" is an old
sheepherder who has lost his right
mind, his temporary insanity being
caused by the lonliness of his occupa-
ton. He is constantly addressing HIM
self as "Bill'' thus the name "Me and
Bill"

RULE OR ruin
is THEIR POLICY
RETURN TO OPEN SHOP, BLOCK
ING OF DEEP WATERWAY a=
ETC. ARE SLOGANS

j AnIOAfCdIeQ ny the recent hepuDQ-
can landslide which resulted in the
election Of Senator Harding to the
presidency and believing themselves
unconquerable masters of the United
States, the group of Big Business par
asites organized under the banner 81
the United States Chamber of Com
imerce have mapped out s'rule-orss
ruin" policy to be pursued ruthlessly
during the next year. Following are
the slogans Of the Plutocracy: rs
First, A return to the open shop
throughout the United States. All la
Dor unions must be mercilessly
crushed. Charges will be framed
against union organizers whenever
possible, and they will be goaled with
out delay. s
Second, The plan to construct a SER
les of canals so as to form a navig-
able waterway from Duluth to the
Gulf Of st. Lawrence must be sabot-
aged at all costs. We're this project
to 60 thruogh wheat growers Of the
Northwest might decide to grind their
own flour, ship it by rail to Duluth
following which there would be an un-
obstructed water route via the Gulf
Of st. Lawrence, to European markets.
The United States Chamber of Com
merce processes to see'a hidden men
ace to grain gamblers in such pro-
ject, and orders have gone out to
block it. ~
l.. Smash N. P. L. Program 81
The third slogan of the Big Busi-
ness plutes is "smash the North Da-
kota Farmer-Labor Program. The
United States Chamber of Commerce
promises to cooperate in every way
possible with the anti-farmer labor
element in North Dakota to "put the
Bank of North Dakota and the state
mill and elevator on the bum, if pos
sible."
Various lines of procedure have been
suggested by the silkhatted parasites
in the Chamber of Commerce for
wrecking the North Dakota program
/. V. A. banker politicians are advised
to spread as many lies as possible
about it. initiate laws designed to pre-
vent it from functioning and circulate
petitions every few months, asking
for the recall Of state officers pledged
to the League program.
"Confidential" bulletins containing
these suggestions have been received
by Fargo business men during the
past few days. There will probably
never be a more opportune time than
the next few months, according to the
Plutocracy, for using it's Iron Heel on
labor unions and the farmers, crush
ing them into humble submission.
Through the efforts of these malefac.
tors of great wealth "riot squads"
armed to the teeth with rifles and ma
chine guns, have been added to the
police forces of 46 different American
cities.

" progressive and can be depended

sional candidates and the following
have been elected:
Allen Cooper in the First district
by $4,000 majority, Edward Volght IN
the second district by $4,000 major

Commenting on this election, Gov
ernor-elect Blaine said recently:
II shall to the best Of my ability
seek the confidence Of the people VINO
have renewed their Endorsement OF my
nublic record. The campaign against
me was unusual. It was a campaign
based on slander Of an organization
of farmers which had indorsed me. no
issue was presented. But system
press suppressed my platform and my
nublic addresses, and it is quite re-
markable that the people were able 20
learn the truth. The result plainly
shows that with few exceptions they
have lost faith in the daily papers of
/ the state. ~ n !.
