NO ABSENT VOTERS BALLOTS
Every Voter Must Appear In Person
Before He or She Can Cast
Vote. Date, Oct. 28.

There is considerable inquiry as to
whether or not absent voters ballots
ian be used at the recall election on
Oct. 2Sth. The answer is that they
cannot. No man or woman voter can
cast ballot in any other way than
by appearing at their home precinct
voting place and personally securing
his or her ballot. Absent voters bal
lots are not provided for in any recall
election, as they are in a regular ell
ection.
Men and women who have lived
thirty days in a precinct, ninety days
in a county and one year in the state,
and who are citizens over 21 years Of
age, can vote by thus appearing at
the polling place in person. Pass
this information along to your neigh
bors early SO that they can plan ac-
cordingly.

WHERE'S YOUR ..pRoGRAM,",

Just now the League campaign
committee as, well as Lemke's daily
and all League papers are shouting:
"The Farmers Program must be
saved" Very well. You have been
at it five years. Where is your pro-
gram?
The Drake Mill is dead and $4,000
sunk in the project. That's the pro-
ject you lied to the people about a
year ago and claimed it had made big
Profits. Is that your program?
The State creameries have netted
the tax payers a nice, snug loss. Is
that your program?
The Mill and Elevator at Grand
Forks has cost over million, count
ing loss of interest. 1t can be re-
placed for s450,O00. You yourself
are deserting it and running after the
Grain Growers, Equity and Wheat
Growers, everyone of which are CO.
operative and not state owned, Hence
that is your prgram.
b The Bank of North Dakota is insol-
vent; registers checks instead Of pay
ing them; soaks six million Of our
taxes and leaves us broke. You now
admit that it should be made an ag.
ricultural bank, in other words should
be different from what it is. Hence
that does not seem to be your pro-
gram. II.

Linton, North Dakota, Thursday, Sept. %, 1921.

Ward, Grand Forks Stutsman and
Foster counties have already signed
up carload CT attendants at the
National Dairy Show St. Paul, Oct.
9th to 18th. Is other counties have
pledged from 4 to 20 persons each.
Emmons to my knowledge has 5 SO
far that are certain of going.
We may never again have a MA
TIONAL DAIRY SHOW so close to
us. Rates on all railroads will be
one and half fare.
Every man that attends will come
back booster for dairying, and for
dairy herds.
Special trains will be made up at
Fargo, Monday evening; Oct 10Th.
The Minot Band and the Mandan
"Nut Quartet" will furnish music and
entertainment on the trip. Pullman
cars will be parked on the grounds
for our headquarters at the small
cost of $500 per person for four days
Meals can be had at reasonable prices
on the grounds. Special trains will
return Friday evening, Oct. 14th.
Prof. Sherperd of the State Agri-
cultural College will pilot the North
Dakota delegation thru the show in
such manner that we will see it
thoroughly.
We will see the greatest dairy
herds of the country, the greatest
experts, the most modern inventions
for profitable dairying. We will see
something worth many times the time
and money spent on the tour.
Now, knowing as do how hard hit
Emmons county has been, have not
boosted the show as much as other
counties where they had good crops;
but do yant to call the attention
of those who can go-to go. You
will never regret it.
Reduced rates are in effect from
Oct. 9th to 18th inclusive. You may
want to go any time between those
dates regardless of the special trains.
But if you do. wish to go with the
North Dakota delegation on special
trains, see me or send 81 for reser-

y? 1t won't work. .
Perhaps you want to rake in cool
million dollars for consumers stores
company schemes again. Honestly
that part of your farm program is as
threadbare as three card monte tricks
shell games, soap selling performanc-
es and similar stunts. 1t won't work.
Perhaps you want the Bank of
North Dakota to loan a million or two
more to the Scandinavian American
Bank of Fargo, the Peoples Bank of
,Casselton, Cahill's busted bank at
Leith and similar friendly concerns
and then have these dumps hand you
the cold cash for financing socialist
speakers as you did Russell, Mills and
forty other wild-eyed howlers you
brought in here to educate the far
mers? Don't try it. It won't work.
Rather pray that the dear farmers
may forget all your promises, all your
misdeeds and all the cheap nasty
bunk you have handed them for three
million dollars in dues and donations
and untold millions more in squan-
dered taxes and frozen" jobs.
For these reasons we repeat, where
is your program? Its long past due
as a blessing. What we have seen
in operation certainly buildssno farms
no villages and no state.
Up to date your program has been
to eat up and destroy what the peo-
pie of North Dakota built up by hard
work, thrift and honesty through for
ty years before the arrival of Town
ley. Lemke, Frazier and Hagan.
Every plant and every animal ex-
poets certain amount of parasites
but no organization can give all it's
life blood to vampires and blood suck
ers of your type. It must get rid of
them and your turn has come. That's
the program.

The legislature of New York having
restored the state convention as the
lawful means by which political par
ties may nominate their candidates
and declare their principles, the re-

holding such gathering.
At the opening session Governor
Nathan Miller and Senator James w.
Wadsworth, who was made temporary
chairman, expressed the satisfaction
that has resulted from this return to
the principles of representative gov

Minnesota farmers in building up a
tremendous dairy industry through
cooperative creameries, and in unit
ing more than 200 creameries, within
