Circular Advising This Vio-

REVEALS HYPOCRISY
OF WILLIAM LEMKE
What is Unlawful For Inde-
pendents Evidently O. K.
For Leaguers.
(Hcrald Special Service. J

Fargo, N. D., Oct. 25.-Non-
partisan leaguers are being delib-
erately urged to violate the state
election laws in a circular sent out
to election workers over the sig
nature of Peter Aarhus. state cam
paign manager of the league.
The circular urges that a COM
mittee be formed in each precinct
to 60 to the polls on election day.
and urge all voters to vote for
Frazier, Lemke and Hagan, and
against the laws initiated by the
Independents.
This would be in direct defiance
of the state laws. :.
Hypocrisy Barred.
Not only does this circular reveal
the intention of the league leaders to
defy the law in order to win the cleo
Gon but it also reveals the hypocrisy
of the letter of Attorney General
Lemke in his letter published Sun
day in the Fargo Courier-News.
In this letter the attorney general
declares that the laws will be rdsidly
enforced, and calls special attention
to the provision Of the law in the fol-
lowing words:
There must be no electoneer-3
ing on election day. Campaign
literature, cards, posters and
marked sample ballots must not Al
be Distributed ON election day
nor be permitted to remain in
the booths o. In the polling piac-
, tes Election officers must not at-
tempt to ihnucnce amy voter TO =
vote otherwise than as he in
tends" .,s,s
,Lemke declares his intention Of
| carefully watching the polls to pre-
| vent any frauds. @
The league circular however shows
| that it is only against the 1ndepend-
ents that the law is to be enforced.

Minot, N. D., Oct. 25.-"Irresponsi-

one of the principal factors which has
led to the present political crisis"
Such is the contention of Arthur Le-
Sueur. prominent st. Paul attorney,
former mayor Of Minot and one Of
the organizers Of the Nonpartisan
league, who spoke for one hour to q
large and enthusiastic audience Sat-
urday evening at the Odd Fellows
hall.
Mr.. Lesueur drove from Devils
Lake by automobile Saturday after
noon and was scheduled to appear at
9 p. m. Bad roads delayed the speak
er and he did not arrive until 1915.
An interesting feature that one could
not help but notice was the over
whelming desire of the people to hear
the speakers message desire that
prompted them to wait for over an
hour. At 1875 part Of the audience
had started to leave but when it was
announced that Mr.. LeSneur had ar

the number of prescriptions for beer

large demand was the consensus of
opinion among several representative
St. Louis brewers last night. They
expressed doubt that the new ruling
would cause the resumption Of brew

Hugo koehler. president of the In

that he did not believe the full out

could be consumed by the prescrip-
ton method. He also said that he
was not sure whether his company

Washington. Oct. 25.-Beer as
