Just what has happened nobody
seems to know, but there's something
radically wrong with greatly herald
ed Nonpartisan league ratification
rally.
There's no such animal in Fargo
today, at least there is none visible
to the naked eye.
Fargo's widely advertised "Nonpar-
tisan league, ratification rally, which
its hackers have confidently asserted
would bring thousands of people to
Fargo, is not.
Goes Bismarck Route
The indications were at 2 o'clock
this afternoon, that the Fargo rati-'
fcation rally picnic would go the
route of that held in. Bismarck yes
tsrday, when scarcely 200 people
many of them, in fact a majority OF
them, state house employees, partici-
pated.
Only three picnic parties from the
rural districts were, on hand in Bis
marck yesterday morning for the
rally, and when the picnic went fiat,
the league-s hired band, tried to
arouse some ENTHUSIASM in the down
town districts and finally held meet
ing at the; Bismarck auditorium in
which Kate Richards O'Hare was
eulogized and the American Legion
was slurred. Possibly less than 500
people attended the afternoon meet
ing most of them curiosity seekers
from the city, many being capitol
employees. and only a. few of them
being farmers.
Band Tries Its Hand
In Fargo this morning a local band,
hired for the occasion, gave a few
selections in front of the local social
istic newspapers office then played
few selections near a bank. A few
boys were hired to carry banners, and
the great parade that was to be held
dwindled', to procession consisting
of the band and about rs men,. One
automobile participated in the parade.
At 1880 o'clock Ray Craig was
schedu!edto deliver an address to the
gathered multitude in Island Park.
But the multitude didn't appear;
neither did Mr.. Craig.
In Marked Contrast
Today's affair in Fargo is in mark
ed comparison with the splendid meet
igs that have been held ini the state
In srarsely settled Divide county,
more than 1900 persons greeted Mr..
LANCER in two meetings, both gath
erings being attended by farmers
who drove 2O and 80 miles through
the mud and heavy rains.
In Dickinson this week, LANCER was
greeted by crowd Of more than 5000
people, it being the greatest gather
ing that has ever taken place in that
region.i Other speakers for the Re-
publican ticket have been accorded
receptions by the farmers all over the
state.

private letter files, check books, and the records
of your lodges, your churches and your school
board in order to get material for political black
mail? If you do not, then you must vote against
the Smelling Committee law, because that law
makes it possible for committee of five men,
all of them members of the same political faction
or party, to use $4,000 Of taxpayers money for
political purposes.
This committee, or even its chairman alone,
can cause private Investigations to be made for
private political purposes and, under the pre-
tense of making investigations, political hench-
men Of the Nonpartisan League can be kept a:
work in every county in the state for the benefit
of the League tickets at the expense of all tax
payers, League or not League.
It may be true of few members of the Nom
partisan League as it is of most of the leaders
in it, that they would want such q law in opera
tion for the purpose of gaining political advan-
tage over those that are opposed to them, but
certainly majority of the league members are
too honorable to want to use either the money,
records or offices of the state government as q
means of profit for themselves or for the pur-
pose of promoting their personal political be-
iefs or getting their personal friends into pub
lie office It is well to remember that any law
that works unfairly in favor of the League and
against those opposed to it, will work just as
unfairly against the League and in favor Of
those who oppose it.
No political gang Of any kind will ever get q
chance to use this law if the people vote it down
now.
Talk to your neighbors about how needless,
expensive and dangerous this law is, and get
them to agree with you that they are going to
vote it down.

Do you believe that we in North Dakota
should permit the anarchists who shot our SOL

The State Sheriff Law


Why should the voters of North Dakota Gre
ate another law-enforcing office with an appro-
priation of $4,000, and with loop-hole for an
unlimited possible expense?
I'VE have constables and justices of the peace
in every. township and in every village, police
magistrates and police force in every city, a
states attorney, sheriff and deputy sheriffs in
every county, state and county grand juries,
courts Of all kinds, an attorney generals office,
licensing and inspection department, and a
National Guard, all of it operating at the ex-
pense Of the taxpayers for the purpose of main
tanning law and order.
We have had no serious riots or outbreaks,
and there is no reason to believe that we will
have any in the near future, so why have law
adding state sheriff and state constabuiary
to all the rest Of the machinery which we now
have? Do you as citizen of North Dakota be-
ieve that it is wise to authorize the governor to
appoint state sheriff, who shall have authority
to order all county sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, and
other peace officers, to do anything he wants
them to do, and to remove them from office if
they fail to do it? If the State Sheriff law is
approved on June 30th, that is what will happen
in North Dakota. Talk to your neighbors about
this law. Hand them literature. Get them
along with you to meetings where they may hear
this law discussed. Ask them to vote ''No" on
this law on primary election day. . u 8 Il

The Absent Voters Law
Do you believe it would be wise thing for
the voters Of North Dakota to so amend the
Absent Voters law as to make it possible for
people who are not electors to vote in any pre-.
cinct they may choose, by means Of the Absent
Voters ballot?
Do you believe that the women Of our state
should be put in such position that they will
have to mark Their ballots in the presence of q
political agent, whether he is member Of the
Nonpartisan. League, theI. v. A. or any other
organization that is especially interested in our
political situation?
It IS well enough TO propose 70 make it easier
for the women to vote, but if that were the
whole motive, why not leave the Law in such
shape as to protect the secrecy Of the ballot,
which was guaranteed to every citizen that has
come into our state? Tell your neighbors about

EATONIC Users
DO This-Get the
Greatest Benefits

Chicago, Ill.-Thousands of reports
from people all over the q. S. who
have tested Eatonic, show the greatest
benefits are obtained by using it for a
few weeks, taking one or two tablets
after each meal.
Eatonic users know that it stops
Belching, Bloating, Heartburn, and
Stomach Miseries quickly, but the
really lasting benefits are obtained by
using Eatonic long enough to take the
harmful excess acids and gases entire
ly out of the system. This requires a
little time, for Eatonic takes up the
excess acidity and poisons and carries
them out of the body and of course,
when it is all removed, the sufferer gets
well, feels fne-full of life and pep.
If you have been taking an Eatonic
now and then, be sure and take it regu-
larry for time and obtain all of these
wonderful benefits. Please speak to
your druggist about this, so that he can
tell others that need this help. Adv.

The Price of Silence.

The negro preacher had successfully
concealed the fact that he had served
a term in prison, but long years OF
upright living had not destroyed his
fear of exposure.
One Sunday, on rising to begin his
sermon, his heart sank on seeing il
one of the front pews a former cell
mate.
Quick thinking was necessary. Turn
ing the Bible round a couple of times
to gain time he fixed his eye on the
stranger and delivered himself slowly
and impressively as follows:
"Ah takes nah text dis mo'nin' from

PLENTY NEXT DOOR"
Record Harvest Predicted for
Canada.

After having made a careful sur:
vey of the wheat producing area OF
the United States. experts whose bust.
ness it is to keep the people informed
On the acreage sown to foodStUffs
state that this year there will be
falling off in the wheat production in
the States, due to a considerably less
experts is that the decrease will be
several hundred million bushels of
wheat less than in previous years,
which according to past experience
will be scarcely sufficient to meet tha
requirements of the demands of the
people of this country.
In Canada, however, the situation
is different. Reliable reports on the
crop situation throughout Western
Canada are such as to create the most
substantial optimism. Never before
were the prospects so encouraging for
a bumper harvest. 1t is predicted
that the yield this year will be even
greater than in 1915, the year Of the
record harvest in Canada, when the
total production was 393, 542, 600
bushels Not only is the wheat looking
excellent, but the same is true of oats.
barley and flax, of which a greatly
increased acreage has been sown in
the great grain producing provinces Of
Canada.
The rains that have fallen recently
have come at the right time to stimu.
late growth and there is now consider
able moisture in the ground. With
the world generally facing a shortage
of wheat and a continued heavy de-
mand for it, the price is likely to be
maintained at the present high figure.
In many districts corn has been more
extensively planted than in previous
years and it is looking remarkably
well. Many settlers from the United
States who came to Western Canada
and bought improved farms in the
early spring have every prospect Of
a crop yield that will give them a re-
turn sufficiently large, after paying
all current expenses, to pay off large
part of their capital investment.
Livestock is in excellent condition
everywhere, the rains having induced
a good growth of grass.-Advertise-

He Knew,

A western youngster who attends an
eastern college came home recently for
a few days. His mother, of course,
cooked up all his special dishes and
the youngster rejoiced as he sat down
to the well-filled table. "Pll tell you,
john" began his father, beaming at
the boy, "the happiest time in most
peoples lives Is right when they are
eating, isn't it?"
John looked at mother, who had
acted as cook, and then at the rest of
his family. "Yes, it is" he agreed
provided that they are eating with
some people for whom they actually
care"
