The Other Side of the Picture
Fargo people last Friday had an op-
portunity of seeing at first hand what
is happening to league meetings all
over the state. The ratification
rally" advertised as an attraction
that would bring thousands of far
mers" to Fargo, attracted an audi
ence of less than $50 people, not so OF
them residing outside of Fargo. The
same day hundreds of Shriners from
all sections of the state attended tho
Shrine ceremonial in Fargo. The Far.
go rally was counterpart of the Bis.
mafck league rally of the day pre-
viors. where less than 200 people, til:
bulk of them state house employees on
the administration payroll, turned
cut to an "all day picnic" on the cap
itol grounds. There also III the
"angry 13" that greeted Professor
George Wilson, an importation from
Oklahoma, at Wahpeton where the
governor asked for "police protec-
tion" for his speaker. and there is
! also the Carl D.. Thompson mesting
at Hillsboro, attended by only 26 peo-
pie by actual count.
Fran Stanley, Mountraill county,
county which gave Frazier 1,341
votes and S. J. Doyle 4s6 votes in
the gubernatorial contest two years
ago comes the most recent evidence Of
the failure of league speakers to at
tract crowds. An extensively adver-
tised meeting in Stanley, billed, as
was the Fargo meeting, to "attract
thousands" actually attracted an au-
dience of less than a hundred people.

The Letter He Wrote
Mr. Harrison b. French,
Bowman, N. D.
My dear Mr.. French
Both your letter and booklet have
had my careful attention. IN my
opinion the trial and conviction Of
Mrs. O'Hare were nothing but mis-
cradle travesty upon justice, and the
conditions which made this possible q
disgrace to the nation.
AS / view it it is Of primary. i'm.
portance to have Mrs. O'Hare released
from prison, and if this were conting-
ent upon investigation, the chances
J, are it would be delayed for some time.

That the trend of the voters of
North Dakota is steadily toward the
LANCER ticket ,and that this trend
has reahed such proportions as to in
sure victory for LANCER and the en-
tire Republican state convention tick

that are being received from all Sec

The most significant thing is the
manner in which the farmers and the
people generally are turning out 20
the meetings being addressed by the
candidates and speakers supporting
the Republican ticket. Comment by
local newspapers in which addresses
have been made, particularly by Will

Another feature is the tremendous
amount of local work being done in
almost every community Of the state
Farmers who are interested in tbs
defeat of Socialism in the Republican
primary election on June 30th, are
quitting their fields at midday and
are spending the balance Of the time
going among their neighbors seeking
converts. In the small towns and
villages, business men, bankers, pro-
fessional men are joining hands with
these farmer workers, and In many
places the men are giving over from
four to six and eight hours every day
to the campaign, doing personal work.
It was this kind Of campaign that won

LINTON VS.. BRADDCCK

An exciting game of ball was play
ed on the local grounds last Sum-
day between Braddock and Linton.
The final outcome was 9 to 5 in favor
of Braddock. This gave them their
sixth victory for the season in sched-
ule games.
The game proved to be interesting
throughout, especially so until the
Sth inning, at which time the score
was a to in Braddock's favor.
Drsddock had scored one run in TIE
Sd inning, two in the sixth ami ane
in the 7th while Linton had scored
one in the fourth inning, one in the
9Th and one in the seventh. In the
9Th inning Braddock rallied and scored
four runs on three hits, and one error
on Linton. This made the score
to 8. In the ninth Braddock again
scored but Linton came back with
two, when Ronning stretched three
base hit into homer, scoring one
run ahead of him, giving them a total
of scores as against Braddock's
nine.
Ronning for Linton pitched eff
fective ball. He allowed only hit.
land struck out 13 men. Rasmussen
for Braddock allowed IL hits ant
struck out 9 men. Linton, however
made z errors while Braddock mad,
only two, and this fact accounts fol
Braddock being able to score mor'
times than Linton on less hits.
