A new distributing house is com
ing to the jobbing center of western
North Dakota ~. .
Armour and company, of Chicago,
announce that the growth Of Bis

The manager of the branch house
will be j. c. Deutsch, who is now
in charge of the sub-agency. The
branch house will be under the di-
rection of Superintendent R. l.. Rud-
dick, of Minneapolis, in charge OF
business in the Northwest.
The brief announcement made by
Armour and company from the Chi
cago office OF the company simply
say that the growth OF the city as
a jobbing center makes necessary the
establishment of the plant.
City's Growth ...
For the last few years Bismarck
has grown rapidly as distributing
center. The biggest city in the great
slope country the pioneer jobblns
houses have increased remarkably their
volume of business, and there are
many who believe that in the I'M
mediate future the wholesale an"
jobbing business of Bismarck Will
make unprecedented strides.
Enthusiastic assistance has been
given the jobbing business by retail
ers and city boosters in other lines
of business, during the trade extenslo''
tours conducted during the year
Three of them were held, and the
citv boosters plan to cover new ter
ritory next spring. >
The heavy registration and vote "
the city Of Bismarck would indicate
that there are 5000 to 5000 people
in the city, instead of the 1000 1is'
ure of the census bureau.

Chief

MINNEAPOLIS Mimi, Nov. 5.-Reor-
ganization of the Northwestern Fed
eral Prohibition department which
will divide the five states of Minneso-
ia. North Dakota, South Dakota, Ne
braska and Iowa into smaller numpel
of districts for a more vigorous en-
forcement of the prohibition amend
ment was announced today by Paul d
Keller, supervising federal prohibition
agent, to take effect November ID.
Each state will be divided into as
manv districts as it has divisions OF
the United States district court, Mr.
Keller said. A small group of agents
who will devote all of their time 10
enforcing the prohibition law Will DE
placed in each district.
These agents will have for. their
headouarters the city in the district
where there resides a United States
commissioner. This will enable them
to have offenders quickly arralgned
and bound over to the federal graho
Jury, Mr.. Keller declared%
The state of Minnesota will be dlvid.
ed into six districts with the posts OF
duty of the agents at Winona, ManKa,
to, Minneapolis, st. Paul, Duluth and
Fergus Falls.
Much Valuable Time Lost
Heretofore Mr.. Keller has used MS
men as flying squads to go to any par'
of his territory and make raids. The
affection to this plan, Mr.. Keller sad
was that agents who have conducted
raids in Iowa, Nebraska, and the Dako-
tas lose much valuable time returning
to these states when the cases come
nm for trial before the federal court
Under the reorganization the resi-
dent agents will only be called upon tc
testify before the term OF federal coui' our
which meets in their district as the!
will not have handled cases OUTSIDE OF
their district. ;, 49,,
Furthermore, Mr.. Keller said that
he believed the prohibition amend
ment would be more vigorously en-.
forced by having agents at work all OF
the time in the small districts into
which his territory has been divided

AMENDMENT FOR
GOOD ROADS TO
CARRY IN MINI.

Minneapolis, MINI, Nov. s.
Amendment No. T. for good roads, mas
been carried decisively by both urban
and rural supporters, scattered re-
turns from over the state early this
afternoon indicated. In Minneapolis
results showed that the majority in It's
favor was more than six to one.
The amendment won out not only
over the opposition of those who dl-
rectly opposed it, but also over the in
difference of those who failed to vote
upon the proposition, since it was nee
essary to gain a majority of 'all the
votes cast in the election. Cities OF
Minnesota squared with expectation
by voting heavily for good roads and
country districts evinced marked
favor.

In S99 precincts tabulated out Of

to 50,547 for Poindexter. The pre-
cincts were pretty we'll distributed in

In few precincts Tom Hall had
49,349 votes to 41,6S9 for Miss Alfhild
Alison.
The passage of the initiated meas
ures by from 5000 to 10000 majority
appeared certain on the returns. Miss
Nelson appeared safely elected by up
wards of 10000 votes. The majorities
of Tom Hall and John Steen, for

may reach 10000.
With about S75 precincts tabulated
Judge Christianson was leading Seth

lows: 45,9S2, Richardson 43,969.
Stutsman Named
Stutsman probably is named rail
road commissioner.
Governor Frazier apparently was
pulled into office by Warren G. Hard
ing. The fact that few thousand
voters undoubtedly voted 'er straight
gave the Governor the necessary edge
O'Connors lead held up much better
than did Langer's in the primary. To
have got vote as he did in the pri-
mary Frazier should have a majority
of about 10000 votes. His majority
is more likely to be $500 to 1000.

AUTHOR OF SCHEME WHICH DROVE MANY
DAKOTA EDITORS TO RUIN FEELS THE
STING OF VOTERS WHO REMEMBERED
Tragedy Many Small Town Editors in North Dakota Occasioned
Remarks From Many Editors in Other States Who Were
Startled by Bodness of Scheme

editors in other states have found
a real tragedy. An editorial writer
in the News-Tribune expressed
himself as follows: ...
Recently there was in Duluth
the man who owned the first news
paper suppressed by the Nonpar-
Csan league in North, Dakota.
This man is a Dane He has been
in the United States for eight
years. After working as a print
er, he had published paper in
small Dakota town.
"In it he had invested all his
savings, about $500, the result of
his years of work here. When
Townley organized his Socialist
party this man opposed it. He
believed that the guaranty of the
freedom of the press in America
meant what it said.y He was to
learn differently.
- "a meeting of Nonpartisans was
called in his county. They were
told to refuse to take his paper.
They did. He was bankrupted.
He was not the only newspaper
ruined in the same way. The
second man lost a $4,000 prop
erty."
They May Remember
Drinton's act did not ruin nor
materially damage the papers of
the larger cities of North Daokta.
But it did give Mr.. Townley pow
erful weapon.
If the leaders of the Nonpartisan
league, in their older years, boast
the larger cities of North Dakota.
they probably will not boast of
the manner in which they made
the first great organized attack on
free press and drove many men

He who sets out to destroy
often is destroyed.

He who sets out to destroy
often is destroyed.
And in the changing currents Of
political life the man who is gen
orally known as the author of a
scheme by which many honest,
struggling newspaper editors in
North Dakota we're driven to bank
ruptcy today is feeling the sting
of retribution.
The tragedy Of the gigantic and
ruthless scheme by which free
press in a free state was invaded
by subsidized press has startled
men over the entire country, men
who could not believe that such
thing could happen.
Job Brinton's newspaper grab
bill accomplished it's purpose. 1t
ruined many editors: it gave
Townley a subsidized press, sub
sidized by a free people, it gave
them the public funds, money of
friends and foe.
Before the People
The same Job Brinton went BE-
fore the people of Burleigh coun-
ty, after the newspaper grab act
had aroused a storm Of resent
ment throughout the state and
forced a concession a law which
forced newspapers to go before
the people and seek patronage at
the ballot box instead of by daily
service. Perhaps the people re-
membered, for Job Brinton's news
paper ran a bad third. OF 5000
voters but 10 per cent. gave him
votes.
The story of the first editor who
was driven to the wall by the
Nonpartisan scheme1 of oppression
has often been told. In it many
