Warns Palmer Of Plot
To Steal Elections

NEW YORK. Oct. 29.-Declaring
that he had good information that
"all kinds of violations of the law
from mere technicalities to buying
votes, stealing ballots and the delib-
crate spelling of ballots by election
officials will be resorted to in four
congressional districts here next
Tuesday, Julius Gerber, executive
secretary of the New York county
organization of the Socialist party,
today called upon Attorney General
Palmer in a letter to see that the
election is carried on in accordance
with law.

the Western Electric. like the stock
of the Southern Pe!l celongs TO the
American Telephone & Telegraph
Company, which company received
the premium for the retirement CT the
stock and will doubtless receive the
new stock at higher rate when it is
issued. if it has not already received
it.
"The figures given in this state
ment, other than the calculation of
interest, the earnings on new stock
and the amounts paid by the South
ern Bell to the American Telegraph
Company. are taken from Moody's
Manual of Public Utilities for 1920.
The conclusions reached are from a
study of the reports published in the
manual. They are believed to be
correct. Only an examination by i'm
partial experts of the books and prop
critics of the companies involved can
determine the actual truth. But the
figures and facts given force the con-
ciusion that the public is entitled to
a reduction rather than raise in
telephone rates"

WHAT DOES 1T MEA

pardoning of Kate Richards OHare
mean to the North Dakota voter?
What does 1t mean to the voter of
this, state that Eugene Debs is per-
mitted to make of the penitentiary in
which he is confined a shrine to be
visited by delegations of those who
would destroy the American govern
ment, and that he, a convict serving
a just sentence for an atrocious
crime, may still issue from his cell
manifestos and pronouncements to his
vicious or deluded followersy
No North Dakota official has con-
troll of federal penitentiaries, or has
the power to impose or remove penal
ties for the violation of federal laws.
Yet the timid, temporfEing, kid-glove
treatment of %professed enemies of the
government for which good men have
died IL something which is of decided
interest to the North Dakota voter if
he considers himself a citizen of the
United States and has respect for the
government under which he lives and
the flag which represents the ideals
OF his country. Such a man cannot but
feel ashamed m Inundated to see so
frequently exhibited in high places an
attitude toward treason which seems
to be half sympathetic and half apol-
ogetic. He canno but feel that the
time has come for the manhood of
the nation to assert itself to some pur-
pose, and to take vigorous measures
to stamp out the pestilence which is
fastening itself upon us, to DESTROY it
by fumigation. by cauterization, or bv
whatever means may prove necessary
and which promises to be effective.
And the first opportunity that the
voters Of North Dakota will have to
begin that process Of cleaning up will
be on June 80, primary election day.
In its most responsible offices our
state government Is today in the hands
OF men whose best defense. when
charged with sympathy with destroy
ers of our national government. and
our cherished institutions has been
denial that they have preached n
chy or urged treason. When has there
been>an attempt to show that any one
OF the bosses who manipulate cur
state affairs or the figureheads who
occupy official positions to do their
bidding has uttered a word o. uer-
an act of constructive Amer
when constructive American
ism was sorely needed? General Bragg
loved Grover Cleveland for the enc
mics he had made. What enemies has
Townley or any one of his official
ever made IN the ranks OF se-
dition and anarchy?
Because of the reputation which
North Dakota has acquired through
Of the bosses who are now
seeking to exploit it, the moral influ-
ence of this state goes to support the
demands of those who clamor for lib
to destroy the nation as q risht
the nation itself, should recos-
and defend. In the eyes of the
world this state is included in the
Debs-Haywood-O'Hare crowd. And
Dakota does not belong to that
crowd. Primary election day il the
day on ssafch the state may be placed
where it Isa1onss, mi what North "a
kotan is there who. entertaining the
proper pride for the good name of his
will not put forth every effort
to see that this is done?

Boss. All ne got was y further in
stallment Of the Indian Wars.
Half disguised with it all, he turn
ed back to the bar and stood leaning
his chin upon his hand. A door
opened from another part Of the
buifding-the Mud Hen being an inn,
the only one in the place. A man en-
tered. Crossing the floor with as lit
tie attention to the crowd as If the
place had been deserted, he swaSger-
ed up to- the barl, Perhaps he secret
ly wished that somebody would get
in his way. He had Just that air
about him.
The Pearlhunter heard the door
open; felt the hush that fell-the
hush that always falls upon the rab.
presence. He turned hie eyes slowly
toward the newcomer His nerves
were as steady as the woods make
them, but they were not quite proof
against what he saw. 1t was the
Mar-in-the- Fancy-Vest.
A look flashed between them. The
Pearlhunter fancied the other stiff

tightness creeping into his own spine.

among the river men, it was as safe
as anything of value eve gets to be
in this a%varicious world. He delib-
his pocket.
1t was a distinct affront. Blood had
run. in, the Flatwoods for less. The
man facing him started; flushed; his
right hand dipped toward his hip.
like iron electrified; his eyes like
flecks Of steel in the fire glow. His
hand had closed upon his pistol butt
while the others hand was still on
it's way.
Draw he Kissed. Draw! I'd
give the Blue Moon If you would!
There's a twenty-year-old score to
settle between your blood and mine!'
A dead hush fell. The more sober
men Of the crowd jammed doors and
windows. others huddled against the
walls: some had dived under the
tables. 1t was a moment of Keen
tension. Not a mar breathed.
The line between life and death is
a hair line when two gunner stand

were split a little too fine. He slow

His voice crisp as the snap of sleet
against window glass, he stuffed the
pearl deeper into his pocket, III q
manner that somehow had the effect
Of emphasizing the affront.
The other shrugged his shoulders
barely perceptibly; his lip curled in a
hard smile hat carried all the force
Of a sneer. but he made no answer,
With the air of a man bored un-
speakably he sauntered across the
room to the door by which ne had
entered; paused an instant; glanced
back yer his shoulder: tossed up his
chin contemptuously; passed out. and
closed the door.
But. for all his easy acting. 1t did
not escape the Pearlhunter that the
blue in his eyes was black.

SCHOOL INVADED
BY 'OVERALLITIS'
Ten Kenosha High School
Youths Don Blue Dem
inns This Morning.
OVERALL CLUB FORMED

And little caild shall lead them
This time it is the overall strike in
/ Kenosha and it received its start here
this morning when ten students of the
/ Kenosha High school stalked into the
assembly room clad in new, nifty blue
denims with the famous white pin
stripe. There was a smoker spread
over the three hundred students in the
school as the overall parade marched
4 in but as the morning passed the
pupils became more accustomed TO the
/ garb and many announced tkeir in
tention to join the ranks as soon as
they can secure a uniform.
Each Of the ten knights Of the
overall" wore an olive drab shirt with
1 black tie as the remainder of their
Uniform this morning. There were no
trousers beneath the bIre denims and
while the boys admitted that it was a
little chilly, they also declared that
they intended to "see it through" The
ten leaders of the invasion are Howard
Perkins, Ray Hudson, Dan Holmes
Hobart Hoye, Leo Riley, Chris Jensen
Howard Herzog, Gordon Anderson, r.
win Dunlop and Philip Blanchard.
Club Is Being Formed.
"These boys jumped the gun just a
little" said Principal Tremper, "and if
it was not for that ] would commend
them in every way for their act. There
lis an overalls club among the students
Of the High school and it has more
than fifty members. Our plans. how
ever, were to all appear at once arrayed
in the blue denims and the meeting is
to be held this evening to plan for the
regular appearance Of the club"
"This is not going to be just an over
ais parade either" continued Princi-
pal Tremper, 1T is the plan Of the
club to keep the overalls as their school
suit and make it real saving in cloth
! ing for the students. Those who APP
pear in the denins at the regular start
of the club are to be in it for good,
1t is not TO be a case of wasting good
overalls over other clothes-blue over
alls and a hickory shirt with black
ties are going to help the boys of the
school give old General H. G. Of L. a
body blow for this spring and save
their suits for next year"
