o'Connor received last fall; 1 believe
will increase the O'Connor fnS3ori-
by at least ten percent. know
OF many specific instances where
strong Nonpartisans have left their
ranks and will work for and support
Independent ticket. Il think the
vote for the constitutional amend
the laws and the candidates
VIII run about the same. The I. v.
As In this county stand solidly to-
and there will be no split
whatever. As far as I can see the
outlook lie splendid and we should win
out In the state by d good margin.
Nelson County.
BY n. T. Quanbeck, McVille-As to
The vote in Nelson county this fall 1
ZEE certain that we shall equal the
Q'Connor vote and in some instances,
perhaps. increase it a little. I would
not venture to say what the increase
the Independent vote will be-. Per
have not met with n spe-
CHIC instances where a Nonpartisan
have left his party and come over to
since last election, but I am told
there are such cases in different parts
OF the county. Furthermore. I believe
that our candidates this ) time are
in Nelson county than oul
ticket last fall. I do not think there
VIII be any. material difference in the
votes on the candidates and The laws.
AS to the persistent attempts to split
the I. V. A. ranks / will say. that
when election day comestaround you
Will find the +. y. AS in Nelson
county united to a man and woman,
Grand Forks County.
BY p. o. Thorson, Grand Forks
will roll up a much bigger maion-
ty for, Nestos, johnson and Kitchen
at the recall election than we were
able to do for O'Connor and the rest
of the ticket last fall. O'Connor.s
personal activity in favor Of the ticket
will help materially. Nonpartisans
are leaving the Frazier-Lemke-Hagan
crowd in all parts Of the county and
the league is not gaining in. strength
among the labor element in the city
Of Grand Forks. The constitutional
amendment and the initiated laws
Will get about the same majorities as
the-eandidates; there is absolutely no
split in the I. v. A. ranks, and there
will not be any, neither on account of
activities from league sources, MOI
from any other source. ~
Griggs County.
BY &c. Butler, Cooperstown-we
expect to decreaseIthe league MAORI,
ty OF GAL In the last election very ma
terially This fall, as many Nonparti-
sans are known to have left thei1
party; they are getting more and
more disguised with the mfsmanage-
ment of state affairs and the repeat
failures of the state administra-
ton in connection with the league
program. The vote~for the candidates
and the laws will be just about the
same. There is, no split in the L. v. A.
ranks. and there won't be any.
Steele County.
BY j. A.. Carlson, Finley-Frazier
carried Steele county last fall by -9s
votes, getting 1903 votes as against
1,409 for O'Connor. We had 1,415
signatures on the petitions returned
to the Independent state headquar-
tiers and of these ninety were Nonpar-
tisans who voted for Frazier last fall.
We failed to get eighty-four Of the
O'Connor voters on the petitions be-
cause the canvassers did not go to
see them, or did not find them at
home when they called. I feel sure
that we shall carry the county for
Nestos, johnson and Kitchen by over
one hundred, perhaps two hundred
votes. The laws will get about the
same majorities as the candidates.
The m of many Nonpartisans on
the petitions would indicate that a
goodly bunch of them hav left the
gang now in control in Bismarck.
The attempts to cause a split in the
I. V. A. ranks have absolutely failed
In Steele county.
Richland County.
BY H.. r. Arnold, Fargo expect
a material increase in the %Independ-
vote in Richlani county. I.know
OF several specific instances in which
Nonpartisans have left their ranks
and come over to the Independents,
and l have heard of many" more.
There, has been some opposition
against the election laws, as they are
not fully understood by some Of the
voters, but when the mi~sunderstand-
ing is cleared up l think a practical
~ unanimous Independent vote will
be cast for all the laws. ~ There is no
break in the I. V. A. ranks.
Ransom County.
By P. H. Butler. Lisbon-It is rath-
er early to make any estimates as to
the result of the recall election in
this county. 1t all depends on how
much effective work can be done be-
tween now and the recall date. We
do know of several specific instances
of %leaguers who have declared openly
that they would support the recall,
and some of them have signed the
recall petitions, but generally they do
not wish to discuss politics. Some of
the more radical .leaguers have been
trimmed up financially since last fall,
and this has had its effect. The thing
We have to fight here in this county
is apathy. not only among the
leaguers. but in u W ranks.
Burleigh County.
BY H. P. Goddard, Bismarck-The
attitude of The Tribune. while it NAV
not; change any votes, tends to make
people Indifferent, and it leaves us
without a campaign organ, which is q
great handicap as far as the city of
Bismarck is concerned. We know
OF a few Nonpartisans who have left
the ranks of the league, and who will
take part in the campaign. They are
few in this county though. I do not
think there will be much difference
in the vote on the laws and the can
didates.
Morton and Oliver Counties.
BY J. T. Nelson. Glen Ullin-As to
Morton county Vie will no doubt make
q material gain for the independent
cause and candidates. I fully believe
that we can increase the .o'Connor
vote OF 1859 ten e cent or more,
aAd from my observations / think
this will hold good in Oliver county
also; likewise in Mercer and Grant
whore I have spent q good deal OF
time in securing recall signatures.
Some OF the Nonpartisans me re.
