LEAGUERS MAKE CHARGES
Especial to The Tribune)

Fargo, N. D., July g. Blanket
stickers - that is, stickers con-
tanning the entire list of candi
dates for state office, for congressional
nomination, and for legislative nomi-
nations-were employed by the Mon
partisan league in Sheridan county.
The blanket stickers, each of them
contained in single envelope, were
passed out to the voters by league
emissaries, ard in Goodrich it has
been established that they were pass
ed out in at least one polling place
on election day.
The voter who used such, blanket
petition has only to paste the entire
sticker on the official ballot, cover
ing the names on the regular ballot
1t is presumed that this practice was
employed by the league managers in
numerous other western counties
which have returned the heaviest ma.
jorities for the league, ticket.

CHURCHMEN. ARE.
CALLED ID TASK
BY CHURCH HEAD
Falling Off Of Attendance in
Germany Brings Action by
Lutheran Authorities

Berlin. July $50 great is the fall
ing off in church membership here
that the Berlin Synod Of the German
Lutheran Church has voted to take
drastic measures against persons who
withdraw. Reports read at recent
meeting of the synod showed that
while in 1915 there were only rs de-
fections, the number last year reach
ed 5,287. AS many women as men
withdrew, most of them being young,
and the majority members of the
Social-Democratic party.
The synod resolved that all those
withdrawing should be excluded from
the privileges of the church, their
children to be denied baptism and to
receive confirmation instruction only
on certain conditions. To make these
measures effective the synod voted to
introduce cards to show that the hold
ers are bona fde church members.
Escape from church taxation is
said to be the principal reason for
the Withdrawals. Every German citi-
zen is assumed to be a member of the
state church and is taxed for it's up
keep. Formerly there were few
withdrawals owing to the difficulties
placed in the way of those wishing to
do so and also to the social discredit
that accompanied the act. But under
a new law all a person has to do is
to appear before designated official
and state his desire to give up his
church membership. Thereafter he is
exempt from the payment Of church
taxes.

Aliens Legal "Joy"
Ride Against Tribune
Editors Cost About $500

e. s. Allen, states attorney for Bur.
leigh county, has expended in the
neighborhood of $400 of the Taxpayers S
money in the criminal libel action
brought against George D. Mann, pub
Usher of The Tribune. Actual costs
of record against case now amount to
$685. This does not include judges
and court reporters expense or eX-
pense of delays necessary in prepac-
ing for the case upon short notice
of trial given by Mr.. Allen to de-
fendant.
Added to the $2S6.35 is also ex-
penses of Judge Crum of Oliver coun-
ty, who acted as special prosecuting
attorney, whose fee either Allen or
the county must pay. The reader has
a guess as to who pays the freight
for the legal "joy" ride.
It is just possible that Mr.. Allen
may issue statement as to how these
expenses will be met.
In this action the defendant was
ably represented by C. L. Young of
