TRICK TO DECEIVE BISMARCK
WOMEN VOTERS IS EMPLOYED
BY LEAGUE CITY ORGANIZERS
''Sign Your Ballot" They Tell
Anti-Townley Women, a Meth
Nod Which Would Destroy the
Vote. .nz..... ~
WOMEN OF CITY WARNED

A trick to cheat women of Bismarck
who wish to vote the anti-Townley
anti-Socialist ticket at the election
out of their vote is being employed by
Nonpartisan league organizers in the
city.
The trick was exposed when one
woman, who wishes to vote the anti
Townley ticket, made inquiries to find
out if she should put her name on the
ballot when she voted.
"A Nonpartlsan league talker
came to me and wanted me to
vote the league ticket" she ex.
planned. II told her 1 was firmly
against the league. Before leaV.
ing, she said, well, if you are
going to vote you want to vote
rlght-so don't forget to put your
name on the ballot"
H. Would Destroy Ballot
Anyone who puts his or her name on
the ballot loses his or her vote.
Every woman" in the city who wishes
to vote against the league is warned
by anti-Townley leaders against such
tactics as these. ,.l...
The secrecy of the ballot has been
one of the priced principles of every
state in the country. The Townley
forces have made attacks on this prin-
cip1e, and have failed. The absent
voters amendment proposed by
the league and voted down by the
people last June, was calculated to
defeat the secrecy OF the ballot-tO
give league organizers an opportun-
ity to cooerce people intoy voting in
their presence; s'.. 4.
This falsehOOd of the league Z
organizer to a woman Of Bismarck
is typical Of the campaign being
conducted in Bismarck and in
Burleigh county. Every known 4.
trick and method Of deception is
being employed by the league.
The vicious attack on Miss Nelson
in the leaflet "Martyred Minnie is a
sample of the tactics employed:
Other vicious lies have been peddled
in the county to deceive voters.
Voting School
The anti-Townley committee in
Burleigh county is making fair fight
To combat this deception, the commit
tee announces that a voters school
will be conducted in the K. Of G. hall
next week, to which every woman is
invited. The plan of the school is ex-
planned in detail in another story IN
this issue of The Tribune.
Women of the city are urged by the
Committee to obtain information with
regard to election laws and methods
of voting from responsible and au-
thorized sources. Because of the ne
cessity Of voting for candidates in two
different columns to vote the anti
Townley ticket, the ballot this year is
somewhat confusing to both men and
women .se ..-.-.
The league organizers are trying to
take advantage of this situation, and
deceive voters.

Washington. - Official dispatches
telling of the occupation of Vladfvo-

situation as follows:
"The lines Of the Japanese troops

Gag was raised over Tiger hill, from
which control of the railway station

the occupation Of the city began at 10

when the Japanese troops moved in at
the railway station amid general er-
change of shots between the Japanese
and the provisional forces.
'The headquarters of the provisional
government were reopened by the Rus
SLAMS who claimed they found their
records in! scattered condition. The
Russians insisted that the attack on
the city be investigated by an Allied
commission, that arrests and searches
by the Japanese be discontinued, that
the arms and ammunition of the Rus.
SLAMS be restored to them, and that
the buildings be evacuated by the
Japanese. The Russians insisted
upon their right to an explanation and
