HAVE The CITIZENS OF
WOLF POINT GONE mad
OswegO Editor Expresses Himself in
Plain United States, Regarding
N. p. L. Meeting

Through curiosity, like many others
we went down to Wolf Point to hear
Lynn j. Frazier, governor of North
Dakota and one of A. C. Townley's
main working tools deliver a speech
under the auspices of the Nonpartisan
league this Thursday afternoon.
All of Wolf Point citizens were out
in their glad rags; the band played
and the business houses were closed
for the occasion. The speakers of the
afternoon were H. c. Arnold of
Opheim, N. P. candidate for Lieuten-
ant-governor, A. w. Strangeland, of
Plentywood, MP candidate for Dist.
Judge and Lynn j. Frazier, tool of A..
c. Townley and who presides over the
state capitol at Bismarck, North Da-
kota. The speakers were introduced
by Hugh N. Maron, Wolf Points city
! attorney.
Space will not permit US to comment
on all three speeches, but we are
forced to say something in regard to
the speech made by A. w. Strange
land who was imported to Plenty
wood from Butte by B. X. Wheeler
for no other purpose than to become
candidate for District Judge.
The speech of Stangeland consisted
of some of the most damnable rot we
have ever heard. If he had any argu-
ments tending to throw any light on
the political questions or the economic
propositions Of the league, he did not
present them. We were told he did
not mention these questions for the
reason that he had only lived here a
short time and was not familiar with
them. The speaker after getting ex-
ercised up to an ardent condition made
the statement that "there were better
brains behind prison bars than at
liberty" no doubt meaning uebbs,
Emma Goldman and other socialists.
If a person would eliminate the
word farmers" and substitute the
word "laboring class" in the speech he
made, it would pass the censor as one
of the most rabid and rank l. W. w.
speeches we have ever hear. A har-
angue of that kind can have only one
ann; one purpose; ane result-that
of melting discomfort, dissatisfaction
and agitation. The Wolf Point busi-
, ness men and even the staunchest sup
porters of the league must have felt
ashamed to listen to it. What can be
gained by any candidate to talk such
rot is beyond the comprehension of
any sane man. Instead of building up
and gaining more supporters for him.
self and the league, speeches of this
kind will soon disband the whole or.
ganization. Instead of uniting and
building harmony in a community
such speeches will tear down and
destroy it. The speech of A. w
Strangeland at Wolf Point Thursday
afternoon did more harm to Vol
Point and community than the Com.
mercial Club at that plsce can rspai,
in one year.-Oswego Reporter.

FATAL ACCIDENT:
MAN KILLED BY
TRAIN THURSDAY

A serious accident occurred yester-
day afternoon on the railroad west of
this city, at Liberty crossing, when
Nels Olson, was fatally injured by a
freight train. A concrete bridge is
eing put in at this point, and Mr.. Ol-
son was running the cement mixer.
He was oiling the machine, and step
ped out on the track just as car of
gravel was being pushed into position.
The unfortunate man was knocked
down and after dragging along some
distance fell to the ground below, a
drop of some eighteen feet. He was
taken to the Deaconess hospital here,
but passed away shortly after his ar
rival there.
Mr.. Olson is from North Dakota, and
is a single man. The body is being
cared for at the Peterson chapel, until
word is received from relatives regard
ing its disposition.

YOUNG WELDON FARMER
DIES FOLLOWING FALL
Horse Stumbles Throwing ORGY Moore
and Fractures Skull. Dies With
out Regaining Consciousness

ORGY Moore, young farmer, who
resided in the Weldon country, about
30 miles south of Oswego, was the
victim of an accident Sunday morn
ing, from the results of which he
died the same afternoon while be-
ing taken to the hospital at Glen
dive. Mr.. Moore and Joe Yoeman,
with whom he had spent the night,
started out on horseback Sunday
morning for the home of a neighbor,
Mrs. Dougherty, and had only gone
a short distance before reaching a
gate, which Mr.. Yoeman dismounted
to open. Whether Moore's horse ran
into the wire, which cause him to
stop suddenly and throw Moore off,
or the animal stumbled, is not known
to Mr.. Yoeman. At any rate, Moore
was thrown off and truck on his
head, fracturing his skull. The fall
rendered him unconscious, in which
condition he remained until four
o'clock in the afternoon, which he
passed away.
Immediately after the accident
Mr.. Yoeman made trip to Circle
for doctor, who gave the injured
man first aid treatment. Although
there appeared to be no hope OF
saving his life it was decided to take
him to Glendive, but only short
distance of the trip had been GOV.
ened when death occurred. The body
was brought to this city the same
evening, being accomplished by Mr.
Yoeman and j. F. Geisen. Undertak.
er L. M. Clayton prepared the body
for burial and the next morning il
was shipped to Foley, Minnesota
where Mr.. Moore's parents reside. The
remains were accompanied to Foley by
Phil Dougherty of this city.
Mr.. Moore is survived by his par,
ents, three sister and three brothers
al lof whom reside in Minnesota. He
was also cousin of Mesdames P. R
Dougherty and E. J. Cody of this
| city. He was highly esteemed
young man and had many friends il
the Weldon country, where he hao
resided for the past five years. His
death has caused profound sorrow
among all who knew him-Wolf Point

ANNUAL CONFERENCE
RETURNS REV. JEFFERY
Local M. E. Church Will Again Be
Served by Popular Pastor. Name
of District Changed.

The Fourth Anlfual session of the
North Montana conference, of the
Methodist church held at Lewistown,
with Bishop Charles w. Burns, presid-
ing, adjourned on Monday, after hav-
ing been in session since the Wednes-
day previous. The local church at
Glasgow was represented by Mrs.
Walter Grogan and Mrs. Glen Maris,
who returned home on Tuesday
One of the acts of the conference
was the changing of the name of the
old Milk River district to that Of Gla-
cier Park district, and the transfer to
the new district of the counties of
Flathead and Lincoln, which hereto
fore have been part OF the Great
Falls District. By this change the
Glacier Park district takes in all the
counties of north Montana between
the Idaho and Dakota lines.
1t will be matter of great salts
faction to the Glasgow people to know
that Rev. j. r. Jeffery has been
again assigned to the Glasgow charge.
During the past year Mr.. Jeffery not
only served his church in an efficient
manner and endeared himself to his
people, but he won for himself a place
in the community life, which, should
he have left, would indeed be hard
to fill. Not only the local church but
the people of Glasgow and vicinity
are to be congratulated upon his re-
turn.
The appointments in the Glacier
Park district are as follows:

Washington, Aug. 26.-The procla-
nation announcing officially that the
suffrage amendment to the constitu-
ton had been ratified was signed by
Secretary Colby of the state depart
ment Thursday.
The document was signed at a. m.
at Mr.. Colby's home when the certifi-
cate from Governor Roberts that the
Tennessee legislature had ratified the
amendment was received. Secretary
Colby announced his action on his ar
rival at his office later.
The announcement disappointed a
group of the suffrage workers from the
headquarters Of the National Womans
party who had gathered at the state
department hoping to be present when
Mr.. Colby attached his signature to
the proclamation. Miss Alice Paul
chairman of the party was among the
snumber.

of Secretary Colby completes the suf-
frage struggle in this country" she
said.
"In spite of every obstacle that oul
opponents could put in our way, WON,

voice in the affairs of the government
The woman's party will not relax its
vigilance, however, until it is satisfied
that no further attempts would be
made to wrest from the women of the
United States the political equality
which every woman is entitled to-"
Secretary Colby later sent word te
the womans party headquarters that
he would see the suffragists at his of
> flee if they desired. Word was sem
back that Miss Paul was preparing te
leave for New York that the othe7
leaders had already returned to theil
homes and the invitation could not be
accepted. 1t was announced at head
quarters that the Woman's party lead
ers were planning an Independent Gel
ebration.
Secretary Colby had prepared {
statement regarding ratification which
he planned to read to the officials o1
the National Woman's party had the!
accepted the invitation.
When the secretary's invitation t.
return to his office was declined, an
other pjarty of suffrage leaders ap
peared at the department. They wer
official members of the National Amer
lean Woman Suffrage association
headed by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait
The invitation to hear Mr.. Colby
statement was promptly accepted b.
this group and they filed into his of
flee for the purpose.
