PETITION SlGNERS MAY VOTE
FRIDAY
Fargo, N. D., Oct. 26.-Having fail
ed in their effort to exile the voters
with ghosts of various kinds and thus
get following the league leaders are
now endeavoring to keep the 1nde-
pendent voters away from the polls
by threatening to bar those from vot-
ing who have signed recall petitions
prior to the Devils Lake convention.
Inform all workers that every citizen
has right to vote. Any voter that
is challenged can take the ordinary
voters oath and the election o--cials
must under the laws of the state per-
NIT such party to vote. If any voter
is refused the ballot, the attention of
all who are in the polling place at the
time should be called to the fact so
that they may be witnesses in later
court action. Instruct workers to keep
careful record of all who are chal-
lenged or denied ballots. Inadvertent
signing of two recall petitions bars
no one from voting. Use telephone to
inform workers.

tured thigh bone, cuts on the head and
bruises about the body when she was
run over by an automobile, driven by

Saturday evening. DR.. Pence was
driving at an ordinary rate of speed
when Miss Seversen stepped out
from behind another car and before
the doctor could stop his machine, one
of the front wheels had passed over her
The young woman's injuries undoubt-
edly would not have been so serious
but for the fact that grocery truck
travelling closely behind the Pence, car
struck the car and forced the hind
wheel over the girls body. DR..
Pence took the young woman to the
hospital and has been doing every
thing in his power for her. She. is
recovering nicely and it is expected
that she will eventually recover COM
pletely.
Miss Seversen has been living at
the home of DIR. j. C. Jackman and at
tending school. DR.. Pence is held
blameless for the accident, it being
one of those regretable occurrences
that could not possibly have been a.
voided under the circumstances.
