GRAIN GROWERS MEN,
BERSHIP TOPS 10000.

+ CnlCa8O, NOV. l-MciuDtISllp III SAAC
u. s. Grain Growers, Inc. last week
passed the 1000 mark, according to an
official recapitulation Of work in 10
states, isued here today. It was report
ed that the farmers grain company
has enlisted the support Of 20,444
farmers, an increase Of 1854 for the
previous six day period. Six hundred
eight elevators and grain growers as
sociations have become affiliated with
the movement, this being an increase
Of 88 for the week
The outstanding feature last week
was progress made in Nebraska, which
state passed the $500 mark, reporting
an aggregate Of 1919 grower con-
tracts. This was an increase Of COS
for the week, considerably more than
the best previous six day period.
Elevator contracts in Nebraska are
especially significant. One hundred
and forty-three have been reported
and with one exception all are farmers
cooperative institutions, SO organized
as to be able to complete affiliation
at once. So far as strictly cooperative
elevator contracts are concerned, Ne
braska has q long lead.
In Nebraska, Mead, home commun-
ity Of President G. 81. Gustafson, has
more grower contracts than any other
shipping point, the total this week be-
ing 115. So far as records at the ma
tional headquarters show, this is q
record for the country. Walthill, Neb.,
Is second with 1920. J. a. Norton Of

growing demand that that section Be

far, NebraskA organization has been
confined to counties Ia the southeast-

Friday last was election day in
North Dakota and complete returns
will show Nestos to have won by about
1000 over Frazier, Johnson wins by
about 5000 over Lemke and Kitchen
wins over, Hagan.
All the measures, nine of them,
placed upon the ballot by the /. v. A.
and intended to kill the League pro-
gram lost, that is, carried no, and
therefore Nestos, johnson and Kitchen
are the new /. v. A. Socialists
elected to conduct and carry out the
League program in North Dakota.
In Bottineau County the vote was
about the same as last year, Frazier
having majority Of 1890 this elec-
tion against a majority of 1918 last
fall. The total vote cast in Bottineau
county is somewhat smaller this year
than last and while Frazier's major
ity was 83 less than last year the Lea
que has gained some 200 votes in Bot
tineau county over last year as evil
denced by the vote on the measures
where the voters again expressed their
approval of the League program. The
measure vote No in Bottineau county
shows majority of nearly 1900 in all
cases and comparing that with the
vote last year The League has made
gains in this county.
It appears that the country pre-
cincts, some of them, have lost from
one to ten and twelve League votes
while others have gained about the
same and every town with one or two
exceptions, returned a larger vote
against the measures and for the Lea
que candidates than last year. In the
city of Bottineau the vote on Governor
gave the League candidate this year
35 more votes than last year. Below
we give the Bottineau City, county
and state vote Of the Recall election:
