YANKEES Must Win Z Shaigh,
to Take Series.

New York, Oct. 12.-The Giants
and Yankees were keyed up a semi
note or so above normal today for the
7th game Of the worlds series tied
at three games all by the Giants S
to S victory yesterday after a week
of warfare at the Polo grounds.
They seemed to think that the
break would make its appearance
this afternoon and point out the ul-
innate victory in the championship
struggle. Whoever wins today will
be only one victory away from the
throne, while the loser must take the
next two games in succession to be-
come baseball champions OF the
world.
Carl Mays will be sent against the
awakened Giants today, Manager
Huggins said to be followed tomor-
row by Hoyt, who permitted the ma
tional leaguers only one RUN in is

"shufflin" Phil Douglas is the
likely choice OF McGraw. Should
this spit ball artist be put to
work this afternoon it will be the
third time he has opposed Mays.

rumpus will go the full nine games.

VITAL ISSUES OF
RECALL OUTLINED
BY D. E. SHlPPLEY
Former Lacquer and Secre-
tary Of House Investigating
Committee Gives Convinc-
ing Reasons For Immediate
Recall Of Present Admins
tration.

The principal reasons fOr the
calling Of the recall election as
based on the reports of the house
and senate investigating committees
at the last session Of the legislature
were outlined by d. E. Shipley in
his address at the armory here Mon
day night. Mr.. Shipley is former
member of the Nonpartisan League
having joined that organization in
1917 and later paid his SIG for
two more years. He was also a
former member of the B. Of R. T.
and secretary of the house investi-
eating committee at the last session
of the legislature and has a COM
prehensive knowledge of the pres
ent situation in North Dakota.
5 Mr.. Shipley declared that there
must be ample reason for the call
ing of the recall election or more
than eighty thousand voters would
not have demanded that such an
election be held THE Independents
may be responsible for the drought
and other bad conditions in the
state, but they are not responsible
for the recall. The recall law was
put on the statute books by the Non
partisan League he said.
Predicts Recall Success
Before taking up the condition of
the state industries as disclosed by
the house investigation. Mr.. Ship
ley congratulated the voters for the
passage of the board Of auditors
law at the last election which made
the investigation possible This law
has made possible the revelation of
the actual facts in connection with
the state Industries and shown con-
ditions which the people did not
dream of. The speaker explained
the formation of the investigation
committee, composed of three Nom
partisans and three Independents,
and of how the Leaguers withdrew
from the committee after exerting
every effort to block the investiga-
tion. He predicted that the recall
election would, carry by as large a
majority as did the initiated laws
at the last election, because OF the
conditions shown by the passage Of
the board of auditors law and the
resultant investigation. Fs@
The first of the state industries
discussed by Mr.. shipley was the
North Dakota Home Builders Asso-
citation. This association. he said,
was supposedly organized for the
benefit of the working people, the
people who had been unable to save
money enough to build homey
Neither the letter nor the spirit
of the law has been carried out by
the Industrial commission" he said.
"Who is it that has had homes
built? Is it the poor people? Is 1t
the laboring man? No, absolutely
not! I ask you men here to point
out to ME one single instance where
a home has been built for men who
really. needed homes. I don't ask
for long list. I don't ask for even
four or five. only ask for single
instance of a home built for poor
laboring man." ,5 .i "a. 4.
When the house investigating
committee began to study the re-
port of the Bishop, Brissman COM
pany, Mr., Shiplev said, they found

Dunn Center Address

H'
Dunn Center; Oct. IA tremen-
.dous crowd greeted r. A. Nestos as
the next governor of North Dakota"
here this evening. The Dunn Center
band played, quartet gave selec-
tions OF Independent campaign songs
and the people applauded the can
didate's speech on the issues.
MIR. Nestos dwelt chiefly on the
restoration OF the credit OF the
state, which, he said, could be done
only through putting stop to adj
ministrative recklessness and instead
inaugurate honesty and integrity in
the handling Of public affairs.
What this state needs more than
anything else, said Mr.. Nestos, is not
to dispose of few million dollars Of
bonds, but to regain the confidence
Of the investing public In the world
outside, so that the farmers and the
businessmen of North Dakota will
be able to get fifty million dollars
needed during the next twelve mon
this.
Improved Credit Necessary
