OPPOSES LAWS
TO KNOCK OUT
G. 0. ? IN STATE
Chairman of Republican Central
Committee Of Richland
County Sends Letter
IS ANTI-N NONPAR RTISAN

Wahpeton, N. D., Oct. 1s-E. H. My
hra, chairman of the Republican
county central committee of Richland
county, has sent out circular letter
from Wahpeton on the subject of the
initiated Jaws proposing The obolition
sef party designation for state officials.
The writer, who is an anti -Nonparti-
san, says: ss ,f n S NJ
10 Real Republican,: s2
Among the initiated laws to be vot-
ed on at the, election to be held Oct0-
Der 2Sth. are two election laws.
One Of them proposes to relAove the
party designation from the state tick
ct, which would mean that the word
Republican" could not be used on the
state ticket The other provides for
a ballot for the election of Presiden-
tial Electors, United States Senators,
5Cnngressmen, National Committeeman
and Precinct Committeeman, with the
designation following the name, but
does away. with the Republican Col
umn" in that ballot also.
In my opinion both of these prOpOs-
ed laws are wrong from republican
point of view, and will tend to destroy
the republican party and the republi
can organization in our state, and we,
as republicans, do not want that to
happen.
In addition to this, it means one ex-
ira election, which would be three
elections every election year, and
mean large additional expense. be-
lieve every taxpayer feels that our ex,
penses are too high already. s,rrsS4 !,
The argument used by those favor-
ing these two laws is that it would be
easier to beat the Nonpartisan League
if we had no party designation on the
ballot. Eventually we are going to
trim them anyway and If we eyer get
these laws on our statute books, we
will never be able to get them off 1t
will be on the order Of the primary
ELECTION law-no one wants it but
everyone is afraid to oppose it.
When Mr.. Nestos was down here,
l told him was opposed to these
two proposed laws and would do what
little could against them. He, of
course, is running on the. platform,
complete, and is not in position to
openly oppose them.
The Republican party has withstood
several assaults, such as Pbpulism,
Bull Moose, and other attacks. It will
continue to, be in existence long af-
ter the Nonpartisan League is forgot
ten; let us Ilot do anything now that
might lay foundation for the future
destruction of the Republican party.
l have talked with number of Re-
publicans about these proposed laws
and in every instance where their at
tention had been called to it, they
were against these two laws and will
! vote against them.
Only few of these letters are sent
out to leading Republicans, therefore
il wish you would see number of our
| Republican friends in your precinct
! call their attention to what these pro-
posed laws are liable to do to the Re
| publican party, and also the additiona
+! expense, and suggest that they vote
! against them.
/ Respectfully,
| E. H. ,Myhra, Chairman
Republican County Central Commit.

threats of general railroad strike
the railroads OF the United States
through the Association Of Railway
Executives were pushing plans today
today to apply to the Railroad Labor
Board for an additional 10 per cent
reduction in wages:
Determination to press Immediately
for the reduction. was announced last
night by Thomas Dewitt Cuyler, pres
ldent Of the association, in state
ment which said that concurrently
with the reduction "the benefits OF the
reduction shall with the assent Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission be
passed on to the public in the reduc-
tion of existing railroad rates except
insofar as reduction shall have been
made in the meantime"
Despite the note of optimism
sounded in administration quarters at
Washington many railroad officials
appeared convinced that the strike
would become effective and were pre-.
pairing to meet it. Some wecomed 1T.
"This is the time and the place for
it," said F. D. Underwood, president
of the Erie railroad"
Mr.. Underwood declared the strike
was against the Railroad Labor Board
rather than against the lines involved
and declared it was designed to bring
about government control "the desire
of all labor bodies, some part of the
public and some members of Con-
gress.'' a.

SAYS Wage. Inadequate

Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 18-After dis
cussing the wages of trainmen in
which he made comparison Of wages
paid in 1913 with those received now
w. G. Lee, president of the Brother
hood of Railnoad Trainmen, today
said:
"The men have been asked to accept
what is an inadequate living wage.
They know the railroads are taking
unfair advantage of business depres-
sion to force them to accept unfair
wages and service conditions. To state
the matter briefly they believe that
the companies are going, to continue
their aggressive warfare against them
until they force the men to strike.
Therefore they must reluctantly de-
eide to accept the challenge now"

PURE BREEDS

Graphic demonstration Of the what
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. move
ment can do for the uplift Of grades
of cattle in Colorado was had this
week at the Denver yards In the 100
mile drive-in of the cattle growers OF
Middle Park
The Jones Cattle company, located
near kremmling, for years has fol-
lowed the policy Of using bulls Of the
best blood with It's range herd. While
practically all of its fat cattle in the
combined drove of 255 head market
ed here Tuesday were outstanding
in their lines and condition, there
were 20 head of steers which caught
the eyes of the buyers at once and
promptly won the record price of the
season on grassers, S7.75 per hun
dredweight.
For cattle fed during the winter on
hay alone and turned out in the early
spring to Craze, this price was con-
sdered exceptionally favorable. Proof
of merit, however, came recently
when the coffin Packing company,
purchasers of the load, reported a
kill-out as favorable as any cattle

and uniform and turned out IN fine
beef, despite the 100 mile journey on
foot into Denver.
Dick Jones, with the drive, explain
ed that it was long ago proven TO the
company that the best pedigreed
bulls, though high in price, were in
the long run the cheapest 70 place
with their herd The making of beef
is the object of the stockman and It
is the pure-bred sire which operates
TO that end. The animals seen in the
yards this week we're perfect speci-
mems of what can be accomplished
readily with grade cows and pure
/ bred bulls on the range-splendidly
proportioned evenly meated animals
whose quality alone lured the high
/ bids.-Denver Record-Stockman.
