CANDIDATES ARE
BUSY; PETITIONS
AREBEINGSIGNED
Strong Fight Expected in Bur-
leigh County With Victory
for Anti-Leaguers

All of the candidates for county and
legislative offices are circulating peti-
tions among the voters to have their
names placed on the primary ballot
for next months election. 1t is neces-
sary that each candidate secure
enough names on his petition to
amount to five percent of the total
votes cast for county auditor of the
party with which he affiliates, but in
no case is it necessary to secure more
than 200 names. +=r
3 E. B. Cox, assistant attorney gener-
al, in decision on the number of
names required on petitions suggests
that candidates,sin order to be within
the strict Interpretation of the law, OBJ
tain five percent of the total votes cast
jointly by both parties for county aud
itor.
The candidates endorsed by the
Burleigh County AntiTownley club
for various county and legislative Off,
ces will receive the active support OF
one Of the strongest political Organi-
cations ever formed in this county.
Headed by II. p. Goddard, chairman
of the club, various committees and
district chairmen have been appointed
and the work is progressing very sat
isfactOrily in organizing every pre-
precinct in the county.
The county organization of the Non
partisan league, it is understood, has
county in support Of the candidates
endorsed by that organization. With
the county fight centering between
these two organizations big vote is
expected to be cast at the June pri-
mary election with the indications
pointing to a substantial victory for
the anti-Towney forces.
There has only been one change in
the anti-Townley ticket, it is under.
stood. Leo Morris, endorsed for regis
ter of deeds. withdrawing thus leav
ing the field clear for Richard Pen-
warden, present county treasurer, and
a candidate for the former office. NJ.
Morris, it is understood, withdrew be-
cause of his position with the post
office department and it has been re
ported in Bismarck that he is urging
his friends to vote for Mr. Penwarden.
All candidates at the June primary
will run on non-partisan ballot and
only those who secure the required
number of signatures on their petitions
will have their names printed on the
ballot. This does not prevent the
voters from writing the names of anv
persons for the different offices, how
ever. LHIa

FOOD CONDITION.
SERIOUS; MANY
FARMS UNTITLED
Outlook Worst in History of
United States, Farm Bureau
Federation Head Says

4 Washington, May 81. n. Howard
president of the American Farm
Bureau federation, representing some
4,00O,000 farmers in 2S states, who
has just completed tour Of the chief
agricultural states. believes the
country is in danger Of facing, nex1
winter, the most serious food situa-
tion the United States ever has
known
''In New York state alone 25,-
900 farms will lie untitled this
summer for lack of labor" he
says.
alabama farmers are leaving
idle 100000 acres because of
shortage of help.
Iowa, one Of the richest of
agricultural states. is 100000
farm workers short of her needs.
"These are merely typical. Through
out the entire country farmers are
letting their fields stand in hay or
pasture, because they either cannot
get help or cannot afford to pay the
price demanded for farm labor.
"Farm prices already have been
forced down. Manufactured pro-
ducts are higher. Thus the farmer
faces the prospect Of getting less for
his products while he must pay more
for his supplies and labor
"There must be readjustment be-
tween the city and the country. The
farmer can get along for a time, if
need be, by merely growing enough
for his own use. But the cities, thei:
industries and the whole nation would
soon be in a bad plight if for any
reason food production were serious
ly lessened."
