Entering on 10th Day of Strike,
MacSwiney's Body Affected
By Scurvy

London, Oct. 21.-Offcial confrma-
tion came from two sources this morn
ing of reports that Lord Mayor Mac
Swiney. of Cork, had been fed during
a period Of unconsciousness.
The bulletin of the Irish Self
Determination league dealing with his
condition on the 10th day of his hun
ger strike announced that the prison
doctors had forced meat juice into
MacSwiney's mouth during a fit of de-
lirium last night.
From the government side it was
stated at the home office that the Lord
Mayor had been fed last night.
The differentiation leagues ac-
count of the feeding said that the
mayor detected the case of the meat
juice and said to his sister near him:
They tricked me and l didn't know
it." -
Before lapsing into Inconsistencies
|again continued the account the Lord
Mayor waived his arms violently and
shouted: ..
"Take it away"
Delirious All Night
The mayor was ~deirious almost

delirium taking violent form most
of the time. The bulletin adds that
the meat juice administered yesterday
was the first noruishment to pass his
lips since his arrest on August 12.
The Brixton officials continued to-
day to put liquid nutriment in the
mayors mouth during his periods OF
delerium, it was said in the noon
bulletin.
Limbs Affected
delirium, it was said in the noon
all morning and was violent at times.
His limbs, it was said, worked spas
medically.
He did not recognize relatives who

The leagues mid-afternoon bulle-
tin said:

lirious state but is calmer. Doctors
who have just visited him say there

SPECULAT0RS
LOSE BY LA "
BEFORE VOTERS
Initiated Measure Would Bar
Outsiders from Borrowing
State Money
ARGUMENTS AGAINST II
Editors NOte-TlliS is the third
,Of series Of articles dealing
with the initiated measures TO be
voted on Nov. 2.

Shall the Bank of North Dakota
have power to loan money to land
spectators who are residents of 9TH
er states?
The purpose of those who favor the
initiated measure, to be voted on No.
vember 2, in asking a favorable vote
is to prevent abuses OF public
funds. ,.a..... ...a..a.
The Bank OF North Dakota was or
ganized to make long time loans to
farmers. AS the law now stands, the
bank can make loans to land specu-
lators who live outside of North ia
kota. There is on record a $4,000
loan made to a land speculatOr who
lives in St. Paul on Golden Valley
county land.
Keep Money at Home.
Shall land spectators be allowed
to thus borrow public funds-for the
funds in the Bank of North Dakota
are public funds!
What objection is there to this
measure, since the bank was organ
ers?
The only specific objection that has
been offered is a technical question:
Opposition forces have raised the
question as to whether the word
"only" would restrict all activities of
the bank to making farm loans, The
objection is considered lightly and
without merit by those who proposed
the measure.
What Law Provides.
The initiated law provides:
Section /. The Bank of North
Dakota shall make real estate
loans only to actual farmers who
are residents of this state.
Section 9. All acts and parts
of acts in conflict herewith are
hereby repealed.
An announcement of the Joint Cam
paign committee on this law says:
"All money in the hands Of the
Bank of North Dakota that can be
loaned out on real estate mortgages
SIlOuIu DC lOdIlcu W ldIIllcIS > W uO ll'C
in the state and not to people who
live in other states, which the Off
GERS of the Bank of North Dakota can
do now and have done. Farming IS
the chief industry of the state Of
North Dakota. Why should we not,
therefore, have law that would pro-
hibit the officers of the Bank of North
Dakota. regardless who they are now
or who they may be in the future
from loaning North Dakota money to
people who are not residents of NORTH
Dakota.
"The repeal clause applies only to
loans made on real estate mortgages,
50 when this law is approved, it does
not prevent the Bank Of North Dakota
from making loans on other security
to any and all state institutions ana
industries just as the Bank of North
Dakota is now authorized to do. Vote
in favor of using North Dakota's mon
ey for North Dakota people. Vote
thus:
Shall this initiated measure be ap-
proved?
