fail at the general election. So far
rs we can ascertain there is no fight
being made on the issue and people
are generally in favor if it. How
ever a campaign in its behalf should
mark the occasion in this county. Its
success mean that five permanently
improved roads will radiate from this
city passing through the various sec
tons Of Audrain. This will mean that
in a short time every part of the
county will be in direct touch with
these roads and no matter how re-
mote the section it will enjoy bene-

otherwise might take years in secur-

who has lately been named warden
Of the state penitentiary to succeet
Charles Mcdonald of Mandan who
forcibly resigned, is eminently quail
ified to hold the position under the
Townley-Frazier autocracy.
Mcdonald was altogether too friend
ly with Bill LANCER. The story goes
that henchman of the League call
ed on Mcdonald and asked for his
resignation as warden of the pen.
The next day noted politician of
North Dakota and Alaska (without
mentioning any names) called on
Mcdonald and asked Mcdonald If
he cOuld't go over into Morton coun-

Mcdonald told him.
Then Mcdonald was really asked
for his resignation.
Hennessey is we'll qualified. Not
very long ago he was convicted for
assault and paid stiff fine.
He is at the present time sheriff
Of Bottineau county elected by Town

And last but not least he had the
fundamental qualif1cations-he is
socialist. He ran for the state leg
islature in 1914 on the socialist tick

title to Nonpartisan) and as social

revival OF the spirit Of Christianity,
or, as some express it, a spiritual
revival.
Attention was first called to the
idea that anything as old-fashioned
as religion might be the solution Of
a problem as new-fangled as Bolshe-
vism by some London correspondents
in the financial columns OF a New
York newspaper. The correspondent
declared that "hardheaded business
men" in England were looking eth
er to strong governmental suppress
sion or to genuine revival Of re-
ligion" as the best hope of checking
the Bolshevist spirit of the times.
This statement seemed so signi-
ficant that S. Earl Taylor, General
Secretary Of the Interchurch World
Movement. the organization that
represents 80 cooperating Protest
ant denominations, with some 3d.
100000 members and adherents,
thought it worth bringing to the no.

throughout the country.
