Getting Vote Out and Watch
ing Count Of Vote Now
Chief Problem Before In
dependents In the Recall
Election.
(By STAFF Correspondent

Minot, N. D., Get. 15.-DurinE the
last week r. A. Nestos, Independent
candidate for governor in the recall
election. has e speaking in districts
which have been the backbone Of the
strength of the Nonpartisan league
since the formation of that faction.
All reports received in the course
Of this tour and the general attitude
to hear h Independent candidate
indicate that the league has lost
ground in this section since the Last
election.
This doesn't mean that the Inde-
.pendents can expect to carry any Of
the rock-ribbed league counties. but
there is every reason to believe that
the league majorities there will be
substantially cut down..
Lemke's House Did It.
The reasons for this change are
various. In Morton county, for in
stance. there is said to be one entire
township which has always voted the
league ticket, but which is expected
this year to be practically united for
the Independent candidates. In this
particular case the straw which broke
the cancels back was Bill Lemke's
house in Fargo. One of the farmers
from the township who had shipped
some hogs to the Fargo fair, and who
had visited the fair himself, went out
and tool a good look at Bills modest
little hut. He came back to Norton
county and told his neighbors just
what he had seen. Hence the revefBHf
Of form.
Again, many of the farmers are
frankly disappointed over the failure
of the Nonpartisan league leaders to
fulfill their promises. They. have
faithfully supported the league for
I'VE years now, and have obtained NO
results.
Why the Farmers?
Still another point Of view was
on the "Trans-Siberian" freight train
by which Mr.. Nestos was travelling
one day during his trip. Said the
brakeman: Yes. a good many rail-
road boys will still vote the Nom
partisan league ticket. and I can see
some reasons why they may feel JUS
titled in doing it, bu. I'll be hanged
if I can see why n farmer should
want to vote for the league again"
Then of course this prime league
territory a been Harmed" most in
dustriously by the organizers for the
Consumers United Stores, Nonparti-
san league banks and all of the other
organizations by which the farmers
have been "stung'' with the conniv-
ance of the league leaders.
The com bination of these facts,
coupled with the realization which is
steadily growing of what has actually
been done by the league leaders with
the Bank of North Dakota and other
state departments has brought about
a very noticeable change.
Neetos Made Hit.
There can be no doubt that Mr..
Nestos has made a good impression
wherever he has gone. He has never
INDUCED in abuse Of the opposition,
but has confined himself to the pre-
sentation of the facts on which he
bases his appeal for the recall of the
present administration. Even the
leaguers admit that they have no
quarrel with Mr.. Nestos personally.

THE INITIATED LAWS
No. 6: Safeguards Public Funds Deposited II. Banks

The last Of the laws being submitted
o ~ people at th coming recall
election is that providing for deposit
tories Of public funds.
In many respects this law follows
closely the lines of the present deposit
tory law, the chief difference being
that under the present law the Bank
OF North Dakota is the depository Of
all state funds, and may be used as
a depository for other public funds,
Will it is omitted from the authorix-
ed repositories named in the initiated
law.
Bank Of N. b. Eliminated
This change Is made necessary since
one of the other initiated laws pro-
vides for the dissolution of the Bank
Of North Dakota. and it cannot there
fore be a depository.
Under the proposed law all state
and national banks, which comply
with the requirements laid down may
be repositories Of public funds. Every
precaution is taken however, to safe
guard these funds.
In the first place the law provides
that no county shall deposit in any
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1921-10-17

this condition, capital, surplus, and
general credit Of each bank shall be
taken into consideration in apportion-
ing the deposits.
Publicity Required
Statements of the amount, Of, de-
posts in each bank must be published
three times each year by the state
treasurer or. the state Institution or
other corporation making such de-
posts.
Public financial officials complying
with this act are exempted from per-
Esonal responsibility for the funds
which they deposit.
In where the amount Of pub
lie funds which a. school. district or
other public corporation may have
to deposit is less than $500 this Law
does not apply. :
AS has been already pointed out
this law follows closely the provisions
Of the present law except where tho
Bank of North Dakota is concerned.
What other. changes are made are cal
culated to provide greater safety for
the public funds.

In the extreme northwestern part
OF the state conditions are said to be
unusually favorable for the Ipdepend-
entA. In Ward, Burke and, Divide
counties especially a good organiza-
ton has been perfected to insure the
maximum Independent vote being
cast. =
Organization Needed,
This question Of organization has
come to be the most important in the
campaign. especially In the western
part Of the state. Mr.. Nestos in all
Of the towns he visited impressed on
the Independent workers the :necessity
of organizing, not only, to get out the
maximum vote but also to- see that the
vote was fairly counted.
There Is little doubt that there
were many frauds last year in some
districts where the Nonpartisan
league had complete control Of the
election machinery and for that rea-
son Nix. Nestos points out that it is
most important in these districts that
Of the election judges IN. each
precinct should be named by the In
dependents.
In counties where the Nonpartisan
league has control of the Republican
organization this can be done by hav-
ing the Democratic county commit
teeman name an Independent, each
of the two chief parties having the
right to nominate on judge in each
precinct. -
Get the Vote Ont.
The whole situation in the western
part of the state has plainly. sim,
mered down, to one of organization.
II the Independents can perfect an
organization which can get the maxi
mum independently Yote to the polls
on election day, and guard against
fraud in the count, there Is little
doubt that the Nonpartisan league
majority in that section IAN be cut
down to such an extern that the indie
pendent majorities which are certain
in the eastern part Of the state will
insure the election Of the Independent
candidates.

DEMAND is FOR SPECIALISTS
Rising to Really Commanding
Position in the World.

The versatile man has always been
source both Of envy and of pity, says
4 writer in the London Daily Express.
We wish at times we had his talents,
out then we recollect the ancient prov
erb, Jack and we wisely
are content to be ourselves,
Versatility Is an epviable luxury
nut it remains luxury. 1t is OF little
market value in this world. Each
generation becomes more and more
generation of "specialists"-one man
picks the hops, the other brews the
beer.
So 1t is In every path Of life, and
50 must be. Progress does not come
IF discussing delicately "cabbages and
kings" in my lady's drawing room.
Progress comes from gritting our teeth
and mastering one thing at time.
Once we have struck our roots, then,
certainly, the wider our interests are,
The more we appreciate life. But the
merely versatile man has never struck
mis- roots. His talents may be varied,
but he fails to SAVIOR life In Its finest
sense because he has never learned
the meaning Of the finest sense.
Do one thing with all your might
and happiness is yours. Do two things
with half your might and your Ia
bors are vain. Make up your mind
what you want to do or be. Then re-
fuse to be led away by side issues.

DIVORCED LONG.DEAD WIFE
Chinese Merchants Action Due 70
Belief That Her Spirit CAUSED
New HeIpmate's Illness.

How Chinese merchant divorced
his wife after she had been dead for
several years is the glst of a story
which appeared in the Chinese press
recently.
A SoOchOw tea merchant, the mar
rative says, by the name of Lyuh, had
taken second wife some time after
the death Of his first. AS result
OF the second union a daughter was
born. Several days after giving birth,
the young mother was taken Ill and
grew worse and worse as time went
by.
All sorts Of healing methods were
tried without avail and it Was feared
that the Young wife would die At
last a woman was called In and gave
the opinion that the spirit Of the
mans former wife was causing the
Illness. Prayers were then offered to
the dead wife, but still there were no
signs OF the living wife's recovery.
The woman then suggested that the
husband draw up q deed divOrcinS
the dead wife just as If she We're
alive. This the husband, for a time.
refused to do, but Was later prevailed
upon to do so In order to save his
second wife's life. The deed was
then taken to a temple and burned
On the altar.
Immediately afterward the living
wife showed signs of recovery and
was soon her normal self again.

Dice Used by tho Ancients.

Dice, in some form or other have
existed in every period Of history and
in every nation. They are depicted
on the early Egyptian monuments. and
those excavated at Thebes are very
similar to the dice made today. Their
use is attested by laws regulating the
games played with them in ancient
Greece and Rome. as well as In most
European countries.
The invention of dice is attributed
to Palamedes. about 1874 B. c. But
the use of cubes with numbered sides
for gambling purposes is probably
much earlier.
The Latin word for dice, tesserae,
Is derived from the Greek teSseres,
Ionic for tessares. four. because it Is
on every side square. Frequent pas
sages In the works Of ancient writer's
and numerous representations In
marble and paintings show how pop
ular dice playing was among them.
