The petitions for the recall are be-
inc circulated this week and from
early reports received are being sign
ed up in many localities stronger than
the vote recorded for O'Connor last
fall. There is not much talk about re.
call these days but those who sign will
no doubt vote the same way. If you
believe that there should be change
in state affairs sign the petitions and
stand by your convictions.
U. L. Burdick, president Of the
North Dakota Farm Bureau Federa-
ton, spoke last Friday at a large
meeting of farm bureau members and
friends at the Cass County Farm Bu'
reau annual picnic at the farm OF the
president of the Cass County Farm
Bureau, w. w. Brown, at Amenla. HIS
address was principally upon the Y.
S. Grain Growers, Inc, plan OF mar
keting grains but he took time 10
praise farm bureau workan d to show
the need of such an organization: ne
pointed out the weakness OF the U. -.
Grain Growers contract and also its
strength and showed the superiority
of the Grain Growers contract over
that of the National Wheat Growers.
The sentiment seemed overwhelming
in favor of the U. S. Grain Growers.
The North Dakota Trades and La
Dor Assembly of Fargo has sent res
olution to the American Federation OF
Labor asking that convention to en-
dorse the nonpartisan league program
and assistance in selling bonds of the
State Bank of North Dakota. The
resolution has been referred to the
executive council of the A. F. L. with
out recommendation. 1t will doubt
less cause a big fight when it comes up
for passage in that body. Samuel
Gompers, who has header that organi-
cation for so many years and has
been the backbone Of organized labor
is having the fight of his life to hold
his lob as president. Lewis, head of
the miners, is trying to wrest the
crown away from Samuel and press
dispatches say that each side claims
the victory.
U. L. Burdick, president of the
North Dakota Farm Bureau Fedora

U. S. Grain Growers, Inc, assisted by
H. B. Fuller, Secretary Of the North
Dakota Farm Bureau Federation, con-
Quoted school at Fargo, Monday
Tuesday and Wednesday of last week:
instructing some sixteen solicitors on
the U. S. Grain Growers plan of mar
keting grains and also on the meth
DDS or. organizing. A thorough drill
was conducted for two days on the
u. S. Grain Growers contract with
the local elevators and with it's mem
bership. Each solicitor was then sub
ject to a severe examination to see
that he was thoroughly qualified be-
fore he was accepted for work. The
solicitors were divided into four crews.
Two crews began work in Barnes
County on Thursday of last week and
two went to Dickey County Monday.
Barnes County thus has the honor Of
being the first county in the United
States to start organization work for
the u. s.. Grain Growers and Dickey
county has the honor of being the Sec

A dispatch from Williston of June
10 conveys the intelligence that Kate
Richards O'Hare recently made a
speech in that city in spite of the pro-
test of the American Legion, civic, re.
ligious and fraternal organizations of
that city. Thursday afternoon she
spoke at Dahl's grove six miles east OF
the city and Thursday evening the So
cialists who sponsored her talks here
brought her to the business district
of the city where she delivered radi-
cal address from an automobile on the
street corner. Socialists and others
who were curious to hear her talk
gathered about the automobile from
which she spoke and blocked the
streets for several hours. Radicals
took charge of the meeting and would
not allow automobiles to pass along
the street during her talk. The sheriff
and his deputies as well as Williston
police officials stood nearby but did not
Interfere in any way. Her talk was
along the same old line, being very
radical from start to finish. North
Dakota independent newspapers came
in for their share of abuse as well as
the ministers Of the city and other
officials who figured prominently in
the protests against her speaking in
this community. The radicals are in
high spirits since Mrs. O'Hare spoke
here and they feel that they have
made an opening by which almost any
radical or socialist speaker may be
brought to the city without causing
the least of disturbance. 1t was to be
expected that the protests Of the peo-
pie of Williston would be ignored by
Kate O'Hare. She cares nothing for
the people-her main object being to
spread the gospel Of hate wherever
she can. The war is over and she can
talk and say about what she pleases
and seems to do so. There are some
places, however, where she would not
be allowed to go as far as he does
along these radical lines, war or no
war. .j..-~i..f...
