1t is contemplated that the ware

VETERAN SALESMAN
URGES SUPPORT OF
O'CONNOR-M -McGRANN
c. f. Danielson, Of Minot. Makes an
Appeal for Statesmen to Help
Elect ]. McGrann

Appealing to statesmen Of North Da-
kota to use their craftsmanship for
the O'Connor-McGrann ticket and to
help put North Dakota "back in the
credit column again." C. E. Daniel
son, of Minot, one of the states vet
cran travelling men and secretary Of
Mnot U. C. r. Council, has been send
ing out some "pep" letter to men,
'bcrs of the McGrann club which was
formed in Mirot recently by members
.of the travelling fraternity.
Mr.. Danielson is well known to
many farmers in northwestern North
Dakota and he urges the travelling
statesmen to impress upon farmers
anl all others the necessity of sales
.manship to develop North Dakota's
great, resources. If John McGrann is
elected lieutenant governor, Mr.. Dan
ielscn says, salesmanship will be in
iected pto the state administration
and North Dakota will be given a
proper introduction to the rest Of
the nation.
The U. C. r. is not in politics, Mr..
Danielson says in his letter, but he
declares the leaders Of the Nonpar-
tisan league have everjastingly ridi
culed the salesmen 50 it is up to the
salesr en- to, help elect John McGrann
and show the state that statesmen
are men Of ability.
t''It is time he writes, that We
have hard headed business n2en at the
head of our state affairs. This Is no
call for the class hatred thar has been
created in our state. Let's get back
to real busin ess.'
Mr.. Danieson also takes exception
tothe attempt being made to stir up
religious prejudice. 1t has come to
the attention of statesmen that GER
tain propagandists are telling around
that both O'Connor~and McGrann are
Catholics Mr.. Danielson informs
them that McGrann is Scotch, is mar
ried to a Norwegian and while prob
ably would make real good Catho-
lie, it just happens that he isn't. 1T
is fafsehoods of that sort that the
statesmen must not let go unchalleng-
ed, he advises. ..-

coal, weighing more than 1000
pounds, taken from one of the numer-
Gus mines around Burlington.

Three Canadian Provinces Voted Dry
Monday

The Canadian provinces of~Alberta,
Saskatchewan and Manitoba in Mon
days election voted dry. The vote
was taken in accordance with an act
of the Canadian parliament which,
refusing to interfere with the rights
Of the provinces to manage their own
affairs, provided for provincial plebis-
cites on the question. The liquor
traffic thru the northwestern states
will soon be a thing of the past as
result. Winter will soon set in
and this will put a damper on the
traffic and by the time the roads get
good in the spring, the "Whiskey
Skies" will have no excuse to make
