THE EXPECTED is COMING TO
F PASS

1t is very amusing to the rank and
file of the Nonpartisons to watch the
friction that is developing in the
ranks of the /. v. A.. ha&
The leaders of the l. v. A. in the
state and also in each county are and
have always been bunch Of hungry
office seekers and now that there is
some Federal patronage to be distrib
uted they are yapping and snarling
among themselves.
We are reliably informed in our own
County that the Garden faction does
not like the way the Lee-Scott- Kirk
faction are delivering the Federal
patronage. Mr.. Garden being the boss
in this county for the past several
years does not relish the idea of Lee
taking the leadership of the pack
away from him. Mr.. Lees training
prior to his advent in Bottineau was
always with the Stalwart Republicans
and he has at this time considerable
influence with the old Stalwart chiefs
who are still left. On the other hand
Mr.. Garden has always been bitterly
opposed to the Stalwart faction and
in trying to deliver something to his
friends, he finds his way blocked by
Lee, the latter being able to reach
both Cong. Young and Sen. McCum-
Der. Mr.. Garden wants to hold alle-
glance to the Judge Young-Spaulding
crowd.

PUBLICITY PAMPHLET
HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED

Bismarck, September 20th-Gover-
nor Frazier and Commissioner Hagan
today allowed an appropriation Of
$4,000 from the emergency fund tt
pay for the publicity pamphlet on the
initiated laws and constitutional
amendments. This action corrects a
blunder Of the Iva statesmen in the
last session Of the house of represen-
tatives. It also takes the wind out Of
Secretary T.. Halls attempts to have
the League officials call off the recall
for the Twichellites.
Both Governor Frazer and Com
missioner Hagan take the stand that
no technicalities should be allowed to
stand in the way of a final jecis'ec
as to whether the people " the grain
gamblers, railroads arc Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce are to rule
North Dakota"
It is now clearly up to the people to
say whether or not they mean to rule
their own state or whether it shall be
handed over to Wall Street to be
turned into another tenant and peon
camp, such as the plutocracy has as-
tablished in West Virginia, Colorado
and other states.

late and High School rooms than last
year. Miss Alice Anderson of Fessen-
den, N. D., has charge of the Prim-
ford, N. D. the intermediate Room

siderably with the work in these sub

in charge the last few years have fit
ted every department with the latest
