is one which should be commended
by friends and foes of the league
alike.
The Nonpartisan League and the
issues which it has created have
determined the line of cleavage in
, North Dakota politics for the la st
eight years The issues which the
league has brought to. the front are
such that National party line have
become entirely irrelevant in the
state elections. The League has
been a separate political party in
fact and should be so recognized in
the State election machinery. The
present sit,i: ton is unjTst to both
the leaguers and their opponents.

OUR APPRECIATION

The Press editor appreciates
kecnly the endorsement for Cover
nor given him by the Convention
held here On Wednesday,. We do
not know just what we can say to
best express our appreciation, but
If we fail to properly express it in
words we nevertheless have it in
our heart and mind.
The men and women who COM
prised this Convention are of the
rank and file OF the Nonpartisan
League, and OF our best citizcnry.
With a very few exceptions, we
have known all of them for years
and they have known us and have
known our life, public activities
and work, and. under the circum-
stances, we ask for no higher com
pliment than to have these men
and women. Gods noblemen and
nOblewOmen, endorse us for the
the highest office of our state.
The endorsement came as a sur
prise, for although we have here
tOfore been mentioned for Cover
nor, we did not know that our own
home people were looking toward
our nomination and election, and
while we are not saying that we
are a candidate for Governor, we
assure our good friends THAI,
should we ever come to serve the
people of North Dakota as Cover
nor, we would be the very best
kind of Governor that we would
know how to be and permit moth
ing to stand Aetween lis and our
whole duty to all the people.
You good, true friends, THANK
YOU. - Divide County Farmers

necessity Of rewriting the dictionary
Some bird invents the word SKOF-
FLAW and gets 500.
At that rate every poor professor

Anyway, we've decided to grind
out $1,000 worth today:
SKOFFBLOND--A blase young

SKOFFGAS-A bird that horrows
his oil from passing autoists.
SKOFFGRuB-A fat lady on a
