ment continues:
This is but one instance of
scores that have been called to our
attention by men thruout the state
who circulated petitions in "a
precincts. the petitions from which
have been checked up, the average
number of signers Is four more
than the number of votes received
by Frazier at the recall election. In
IL Of those precincts there were
from l to less signers than there
were Frazier votes last fall, in six,
exactly the same number, and in
all the rest there were from 1 up to
16 more signers than there were
votes for Frazier last fall
'This indicates that wherever ac-
tive work has been done by the pre-
cinct captains or other live Leag-
uers. the old fighting spirit is arous-
ed, and now that seeding is pretty
well over. more work is going to be
done by the precinct men, and

Gum Ends Wild
Ride With Crash

Fargo, N. D., May 18.-Like Don
Quixote of old, Louis Gum of Moor
head found his enemy to be an auto
mobile as did Don find the wind
mill to- be his. Louis was of reck-
less driving while under the influ-
ence Of liquor. -..- .t .s.a
Gums wild ride ended when he
crashed into a car owned by John
dollhouse of the Fargo Detroit Ice
company, upsetting both cars.
Gum told Magistrate Monson
that he had few drinks of liquor
evidently very recently for he ad-
dressed Monson as 'Your Worship
He related his side of the affair to
Monson and from~it the court gath
red that Gum was travelling west
ward of Front street and when he
got in front Of the ice company he
turned sharply to the right to avoid
being struck by an approaching
truck. That turn spelt disaster for
him. '

Zone of the most encouraging
signs is that the county executive
committees and the precinct cap
.alns and others KNOW THAT
THERE is WORK TO BE DONE,
AND PROPOSE TO DO 1T.
Ihe people on the firing line
KNOW THEY CAN WIN IF THEY
WORK, and do not propose to al
low over confidence to bring defeat
as 1t did last fall to three candi-
dates. They realize that IL the
League votes had been gotten out.
the I. v. AS would never have
won even partial victory.
This year in the strong League
counties they are going to roll up
majorities that will include EVERY
AVAILABLE VOTE, not content by
just carrying the county by good
majority.
1.-THE precinct men are going to
impress the same idea on every
voter, and not permit a SINGLE
STAL-AT-HOME. Two additional
League votes in every precinct, or
one changed from an I. v. A. vote
would have changed the result OF
the recall election. The precinct
men know this now AND DON'T
PROPOSE TO LET 1T HAPPEN
AGAIN.
"Hence the decision to PILE UP
MAJORITIES where they can be
piled. and pile them SO high that
they cannot be overcome by l. v.
A. majorities in a few I. v. A. coun-
ty hotbeds, where they vote any
thing from transients to street rail-
way ties"

five dollars advanced by a Minot
business man saved the brother OF
A. N. Stone. Minot farmer from ex-
ecution in Finland. according to Mr..

in America, who sent him the a.
mount stated to be necessary.

brother would not be given pass
ports unless an affidavit were
cabled to Finland at cost OF $25
or more With hrs own available

World Lives in Michigan

BRIGHTON, Mich, May 25-Tho
long whiskered championship of the
world is claimed by John j. Tanner
81, for more than half century a
resident of this village.
His beard measures exactly nine
feet from chin to tip. Ordinarily, Mr.
Tanner controls 1T by thrusting the
end inside the band OF his trousers.
More than so years ago, when
Mr. Tanners heard was only two or
three feet in length. he decided to
seek the championship. To this end
he braided his beard and tucked it
inside his vest. The whiskers soon
attained proportions making the
braiding impracticable.
Ten years ago Mr. Tanners beard
was six feet long Five years ago
two feet more had been added and
now it measures nine. The owner
hopes to attain a growth of II feet.
