units that al make their full quota

vet to maxi up for The cost Of the
several petitions that have been, pre-
pared and other work that has been
gone as directed by the Devils Lake
convention. Absolute confidence IN
An Independent victory on election
prevails. not only at state head
quarters but practically in every
county headQuarter. This is indicated
oy reports received from people who
nave been asked to make a. careful
canvass of the situation. The only
possible obstacle is the failure on the
part OF many Independent workers to
realize how near the election Is and

delayed doing their part of the Job OF
assembling needed campaign funds.

the workers in the following appeal
lent out yesterday by the state head

within u grasp. ~

schedules: should be started ten days

fund together.
