The Missionary Entertainment at
Zion Church last night was a great
success. The fine program was ad-
mirably rendered. The audience
hlled the room. The offering was
also a success. Sixty dollars was
asked for to meet the pledge OF the
local organization toward the Metho-
uist Hospital for Tubercular patti
e.nts. located in New Mexico. BY a
duplication of $40, in the eouting the
report was that ninety six dollars had

Olson, however, who was in the Mi

Olson was ordered released from

To the P,rogressiyes OF Burke County
| As the smoke Of the recent polf
tical battle clears aWav Burke cOun'
ty stands out as one of the foremost
counties that did Aer bit for the
cause of Democracy.
Out of a total of 3171 votes cast
for governor there were 194S fcl
Frazier, DR.. Ladd had 2147 TO U. S.
Senator, and Ruth Johnson for Sup
erintendent or Public Instruction
had 1850. And the League carried
its whole county ticket thru to vic
tory.
Theae results were obtained lii
the face of the most active opposi-
ton that the League has had in my
campaign that has been carried on
here. Never before have the l. v.
A. held school house meetings and
made personal canvass Of the voters
to the extent that they did in the
campaign Just closed.
The reason for the overwhelming
N. P. L. victory in Burke county are
several Probably the greatest rel
sen is the more thorough realiza-
ticn by the people Of the benefits TO
bo derived from more just and
equitable marketing machinery and
{. better system Of credits and a bet
ter undel standing of how these can
be brot about by putting in force
the Nonpartisan League program OF
state owned elevators and the Bank
of North Dakota.
Another reason for the good show
ing Burke county made is the more
complete organization Of the N. p.
T.. forces. and their more system-
attic direction. We have more
members than we e;or had. Under
the county manager plan the men,
bers activities are move systemati-
cally directed than was possible to
do from the state headquarters. We

under the overwhelming defeat ad-
ministered to them at the recent
election, several hoodlums have talk
en- out their spite during the past
few days by throwing rotten eggs
at the windows in the Office of the
Farmers Press. When country
people are in town the same cpl-
prits also hide in alleys and i1en
rotten egg automobiles as they
whiz by.
Several attacks have likewise
been made on the Farmers Cooper

These l. v. A. hoodlums only get
hard-boiled when they know the
danger of becoming entangled IN

a minimum. Fer the most part
they are irresponsible boys with a

BROWN|NGS SENT TO
CANADIAN BORDER

Pismarck, N. D., Nov. 11.-Ma

Canadian border from the Adjutan'
Generals Office for use in combat.
ing whisky runners during the next
two months, before winter stops
the traffic.
A hurry-up call was made for the
guns and the acknowledgements Of
! fee loaned two Browning machine
guns, carrying 500 shots for each
in their magazines. The guns, it
is said, will be used both by federal
and county officials. ..-
Two inspectors of the state IL
cense department, who have return
ed. from Bottineau county, where
they have been operating for sew
eral days, tell stirring tales Of whis-
Ky running.
They also discussed the immense
profit being made by liquor runners,
who succeed in getting their cargoes
Through. They buy much liquor
for $40 a case inside the Canadian
line, some of it being priced as high
as $50 a case, or from $3.50 to IS
a quart. They dispose OF it for an
average of $40 quart.
e The state inspectors say that Cam
adian wholesalers are cooperating
with the whisky runners. They
will send a. "tow carr across the
line to meet whisky runners and
guide them into Canada. They
then will send the "tow car" ahead
on the American side 1or severa:
miles to see If the roads are clear.
Level Country Favored
The country IS level in the north
ern part Of BOttineau county, and
on nearly every section line there is
a road. The small force of federal
state and county officials are able
to patrol only part Of the roads.
The manner in which they captured
two whisky runners was related by
inspectors. 0 II I 1t:,S Ssi 1.
They saw two cars on the Cana,
dian side and rode back in their ma
chine around q KNOLL AS the two
cars came one Inspector jumped into
the road and leveled rey0lyera on
the whisky runners. The runners
turned their. cars around and start

path. Ill. MI, IN trs,;{ $ IL
Since, the officials became active
and since one man was killed last

County Manager |ngePso0
Thanks Progressive Workers

But the greatest reason for the
i splendid result in Burke county is
| the fact that hundreds of earnest
men and women are willing to sac
lifce their time and convenience
that the principles they believe in
may prevail. Because so many of
these loyal men and women went
out in the last days of the campaign
and called on their neighbors, show
ing them the justice OF their cause
and instructing them in regard to
the ballot and method of voting, We
were able to get out practically our
full voting strength.
AS county manager Of the Nom
partisan League forces in Burke
county 1 wish to extend my most
sincere thanks to the loyal League
members for the efforts you put
forth during this campaign and my
appreciation Of YOUR effective team
work.. Especially 1 wish to thank
all members of committees who did
such effective work during the last
days of the campaign in their re-
spective precincts. 1t is largely due
to your unselfish efforts that the
victory for the League in Burke
county was complete.
Let us not forget that our fight
is not won as long as there are those
who are being unjustly exploited
and robbed by the same selfish in
terests that are rubbing us, who 10
not yet realize it and are on the
wrong side OF this fight. So meet
in your localities often, discuss the
local situation with each other keep
up an aggressive campaign of edu-
cation till all who oppose us, who
belong on our side. join their efforts
with ours to create better conditions
for all of us. Ours are the forces of
Progress. We are organized to
work harmoniously together. Work
ing thus we are invincible. Again
l thank you for your unselfish and
effective cooperation.
