Lethargy Shaken off as Time
For Election, November Z,
Draws Closer
SPEAKERS ARE BUSY
Lemke Spoke to Audience in
Bismarck Last Night;
Nest0s in City Monday

Lethargy on the part of voters IN
the present fall political campaign
is beginning to fade away, and in it's
place has come an interest in the is
sues and in the speeches of the cam
paign, according to reports received
here from various parts of the state.
Fall threshing andeth fact that peo-
pie are we'll grounded in the issues
from previous campaigns has caused
leaders of both political factions en-
gagged to issue warnings to workers.
The election, on November Z, is
but little more than three weeks
distant, and the time for intensive
organization and campaigns is fast
drawing to close. ! "

In an attempt to raise campaign
funds, the Leaguers in La Mourc
County pretended that they had a
challenge for a joint debate from
the I. V. AS in this county, and pro-
ceeded to advertise a debate between
William Lemke and some. Independ-
ent speaker to be held at Jud, Sun
day, October 18th. An admission fec
Of so cents was to be charged. In
this connection they published tele-
gram from Mr.. Lemke accepting the
imaginary challenge, says an an
nouncement from La Moure today.
Neither the Independent Chairman,
C. ]. Robideau, nor any of the other
Independents would have anything to
do with a debate of this kind, it is
asserted. They had no desire either
to help the Nonpartisans raise cam
paign funds, or to help draw crowds
for their speakers; nor did they feel
that they ought to ask headquarters
to disarrange the schedules already
prepared, and advertised, for the In
dependent speakers. And they most
emphatically refused to ask any In
dependent speaker to meet in joint
debate man. who is under indict-
ment for a grave offense. Mr.. Robi-
deau has declared there would be
no debate.
Chairman, Gaius S. Wooledge of
the Democratic state committee, in
a statement issued in Minot COM
menting on the withdrawal Of
Charles Simon and other Democrats,
asserts that Mr.. Simon acted for
the best interests of the state, ano
that the Democratic state committee
approved of his action.
