OLDGANG
WILLTRY
CON TEST
WILL PLAY THEIR LAST CARD
IN ATTEMPT TO BEAT
LEAGUE IN ROBERTS

The old gang has taken steps to-
ward contesting the election of var
ious of the Nonpartisan candidates
who were successful In the recent
election. They are evidently SO sore
at the results in Roberts county
that they will do almost ANYTHING
and everything i'm an effort to con-
tinue the court house under old gang
control.
But farmers, remember that you
went to the polls and expressed
yourselves in the accustomed man
ner of American elections, and that
your privilege to vote a secret bal
lot it still reality. Remember that
no one has the authority to question
you in regard to what candidates
you cast your ballots for. 1t is re-
ported that an attempt will be made
by the old gang to disfranchise a
great part of the legal electors of
Roberts county; that in a number
of the townships that went strong
for the farmer candidates, an at
tempt will be made to throw the en-
tire vote out.
Is 1t any wonder that it has been
necessary in the last years to cam
paign against mob violence, sun
preston OF speech, etc? What
could be done to encourage lawless-
ness more than to attempt to dis
franchise legal voters, and contest
elections for petty, selfish purposes?
We are sure that public opinion
will become aroused as a result of
this action, to the extent that the
perpetrators will learn that the
farmers of this county are not go
ing to be slow in asserting their
rights as American citizens. Now
is the time to think. And you who
are aroused to the sinister motives
behind, will employ your conscience
and desire for square deal in set
ting things right at least in your
own county. You are already awake
to the situation. But 1T will be your
duty to become more informed of
the situation as we take our stand
to fight. And in this fight, we rely
chiefly upon the honesty of the peo-
pie This is why we can carry it on
to merited victory. Are you with
us?

CATHRO MAKES NO PROMISES
But DECLARES HE MUST
PREPARE TO MEET DEMANDS
UNDER NEW LAW

BISMARCK, N. D..-Special
The wave of bank failures
swept farther east today when
the directors closed the State
Bank of Adrain, in LaNIoure
county. In addition to the
Adrain bank, the State Bank Of
DonnybrOok and the State Bank
of Glenburn added to the al
ready long list Of state financial
institutions which have closed
their doors in the last seven
days. Donnybrook is in Ward
and Glenburn in Renville coun-
ty.
This makes 13 banks which
have closed their doors in the
last seven days. Twelve of these
were located in the extreme
western and northern part of
the state, but Adrain is located
in the second congressional
district, only a short distance
south Of Jamestown. All the
three banks which failed today
gave as the cause their inability
to see their way clear to meet
the expected demands for pub
lie funds following the approval
Of the I. w.. A. initiated law.

7 WORLD SITTING ON BURNING
NORTHWEST
SQUARE DEALS
VICTIM BOYCOTT
NORTHWEsT SQUARE DEAL OF
ABERDEEN PLACED IN
HANDS OF RECEIVER

The Northwest Square Deal pub
llshed at Aberdeen, went into the
hands of receiver the latter part
OF last week. The company had a
/ payroll of approximately 500 per
week with heavy paper accounts to
meet. and with the increasing costs
of publication and a general less;ne
OF patronage the paper finally went
the way of many such publications.
A formidable boycott had been run
against the paper since it's first is-
sue and it's failure was largely due
to this lack of support by the bust
| ness interests of Aberdeen.
The Square Deal was established
less than a year ago at which time
w. w. Cadle, an ex-minister, was
placed in charge. 1t has the en-
dorsement of organized labor and
the nonpartisan organization in
Brown county. Stock to the amount
of $4,000 had been sold. The ap-
pointment of receiver was made
upon application of several directors
OF the compsny and was not forced
by creditors. That it will eventual
ly appear as a weekly goes without
saying. The plant is one of the
large institutions in South Dakota
newspaperd0m. with modern eauip-
ment. etc. 1t is not thought that
anyone will lose any money in the
readjustment of the company.
The receiver, ID. III. Lightner, is is
suing the paper in reduced form
while waiting for carload OF
print paper. We are not informed
as to the future policy of the Square
Deal, though it is generally assumed
that it will be nonpartisan in poll
tics. From signed statements of the
receiver the publishing company is
not insolvent and that the receiver
ship was asked in order to liquidate
more than $4,000 Of notes payable
to the company and to straighten
up the affairs of the corporation.
No one will lose a penny in the ad-
justment for the reality and equip
lnent of the plant is state appraised
at more than doubel the indebted
ness.-Milbank Tribune.

lze ourselves with social forms of
that strange, new government that
has come into the world. Full. free
discussion is necessary, and the
first thing to be done is to restore
to the American people of all clas-
ses the right of free speech, whether
their opinions be right or wrong.

pie, too. have notion they'll be

American workers are not going to
