APPROVE PLAN

The plan of organization of the
NOnDartiSan league adopted by the
national executive committee of the
League at it's recent meeting in St.
Paul was unanimously and enthusi-
astically indorsed by 800 repre-
sentative league members from all
parts of the state at a special meet
ing held last Friday at Fargo. The
gathering of league members was
an impromptu meeting called by
State Manager Ray Craig especial
ly to discuss the plans for reorgani-
zation as laid down by the national
executive committee.
Have County Managers
The employment of county
manager in every county in the
state to work in conjunction with
consist OF three members elected by
the county ronVeEt1ou was a feature
OF the reorganization plan which
met with the hearty and unani-
nous approval of the members
present, who were quick to realize
the business and political possjbil-
tiles of such plan. The county
manager will be held responsible
for county organization, the ar
rangement Of meetings within his
county, and will look after the in
terests of the organization in gen.
eral.
To Divide Fees .
Other features of the reorganiZa-
ton plans were taken up and dis
cussed in detail including plans for
financing the various units Of the
Nonpartisan league, and in every
instance the ideas expressed by the
national executive committee met
with the hearty approval of the
members. The financial organiza-
tion plans a. division of the men,
bershin fee to the county, state and
national organizatoin, the county

The great saving to the farmers
caused by the hail Insurance law,
which same law saved Alva many
hundreds of dollars when his large
acreage Of grain was hailed out,
the big saving the state mill is
making, together with the several
islature which were fully explained
to Alva by his friend Jim Uglum.
who had all the facts first hand,
fully convinced Alva that the
league was the best thing that ever
happened in North Dakota, and
now with the assistance Of this not
ed skunk trapper the league will
not have the least trouble in win
ming by a big majority at the COM
ing primary election. There may
be some people who might think
that the reason that Alva has be-
come a league supporter was that
he was looking for some county Of
flee, and wanted the endorsement
of the league members. but this is
not true. He had been offered the
Office of sheriff of Burke county,
and also some of the other Offices
on more than one occasion, but he
fatty refused all offers in every in
stance. He is not in politics for
what money he can get out OF the
game. He is a man of principle,
and money doesn't make any diff
ference when there is principle in
vOlyed. The votes he controls
cannot be bought for money. They
will be used only in such way as
Alya thinks is for the best inter-
ests of all the farmers. ~

MITCHELL IS WITH
THE LEAGUERS

The many staunch supporters Of
the Nonpartisan League will Oe
glad to learn that Alva Mitchell,
the skunk trapper of Clayton town.
ship, is now working overtime in
the interests of tho league. Dur
ing the past week he has spent
much time in notifying everyone
of the Importance Of the precinct
ship next Saturday, and urging ev-
eryone to be present. A year ago
there were only three people in
Burke county that did any effective
work against the league. They
were Mr.. Mitchell and two Flaxton
bankers, but it is generally ad-
mitted that Mr.. Mitchell was more
bitter in his attacks on the league
than the bankers were, and prob
ably induced more people to vote
against the league program than
any other ten persons in the coun-
,ty It would be hard to estimate
just how many votes Mr.. Mitchell
is able to control for any faction.
and some peonle might have over
estimated his influence with the
voters. We learn on good author
ity that at no time was Mr.. Mitchell
able to control more than $50 votes
in Burke county, and his present
influence will probably not exceed
200 votes. However, be that as it
may. we are glad to have the noted
skunk trapper with us. The Flax
ton bankers were won over in Bow
bells last June after hearing Town
ley speak, but it took the actual
working out of the league program
to convince Alva that it was a good
thing for the farmers of the state.

FARMERS INSTITUTE
IS BIG SUCCESS

= The farmers institute held IN
this city on Tuesday afternoon and
evening at the Royal Theatre prov
ed to be huge success in spite Of
the extremely cold weather in the
morning which prevented many
farmers from coming. The hall
was quite we'll flied during both
the afternoon and evening sessions.
and every person present felt that
he was more than repaid in informa-
alton gained for the time spent in
getting here. The speakers all had
made a study of the farm topics
which they discussed, and told the
farmers OF many new ways Of doing
things and told why these things
should be done in the new way.
The Tribune learns that a large
number Of farmers had made ar
rangements to come to Bowbells on
that day to attend the institute,
but as the therometers that morn
ing registered sc degrees below
zero. they changed their minds. We
fully believe that mad the weather
and roads been favorable the hall
would have been packed
After the meeting held in the af-
ternoon a free lunch was served to
all fapmers present in the hail.
The eats were in charge Of J. G..
Johnson of the First State Bank,
Of this city, who served the
lunch at his own expense, and
who proved himself to be a. caterer
of considerable ability. The lunch
was greatly enjoyed, not only for
the nourishment it provided, but
the way it was served by Mr.. John
son. We are satisfied that the
next farmers institute held here
will be much more largely attend
