CELEBRATE IVDE-
PENDENT, VICTORY

Jamestown, July 13.-Anti-social-
ist forces Of the state will hold a great
rally at Spiritwood lake on Saturday,
July 81, to celebrate the defeat of the
league referred measures, and many
candidates in the recent primary, and
to rouse spirit for the final fall battle
at the polls. III s
An all-days program has been pre-
pared, and thousands of people are ex-
pected to be present. Already 800
persons have promised to drive to the
lake on that day, bringing with them
from three to five persons for the cell
ebration. W.
It is probable that plans will be ad-
vanced at the meeting to initiate a
measure placing the control of the
millions of dollars in the Bank of
North Dakota in responsible and pro-
per officers of the state. \.
All independent republican candi-
dates in the recent primary are invit-
ed to be present.
"IWe feel that we have much to be
thankful for" said John Knauf, a
member of the committee arranging
for the celebration today. "We have
broken the easy grip of the socialistic
forces on the state by reducing a IT,
900 majority to 5000. We have
named three candidates on the state
ticket, apparently, won great victories
in the legislative and county contests,
Miss Nelson has been vindicated by
the people of North Dakota from the
vicious attacks made upon her by Gov
ernor Frazier and others of his admin
istration, we have defeated the
miniquitious absent voters amend
ment, state sheriff and smelling COM.
mittee laws, and we have stamped
out the red flag of anarchy"
There will be a lot of funerals at
the big celebration. Beginning at
9:30 o'clock in the morning the first
act will be to bury the old state sheriff
law. A half-hour later after the
mourning" has ceased the absent
voters amendment will be- buried.
Then the smelling committee will be
put in it's place beneath the sod, where
it, was consigned by the voters of the
state. The socialistic platform, SO far
as Stutsman county is concerned, will
be buried and the jollification will
start. (
The red, white and blue will be
raised to the top of flagstaff while
the red flag Of anarchy and socialism
is buried in the ground forever.
There will be speaking during every
hour of the day, three bands will fur
nish music and there will be picnic
lunches at noon and in the evening.
The Stutsman county anti Townley
men believe this county is a good
place to hold the celebration. It
claims to be the banner county in the
state in the majority returned against
the league forces, in proportion to its
vote. A Frazier majority Of SOC of
two years ago was turned into an
average defeat Of 600 votes for the
entire anti Townley ticket. The league
also was beaten in the referendum
last year. #ea"@lr-'sss .,..-,. p.
