lean institutions and the provisions
and guarantees Of our Federal con-
stitution. AS American citizens we
are determined that these shall not
be ignored or set aside by the selfish
greed Of those who desire unham-
pered opportunity to exploit labor for
their private profit.
We have pledged ourselves to re-
tire from pubic life those public OFF,
cials who have given assistance to
the forces Of greed and reaction, or
who have failed to adequately protect
the welfare and the rights of the
masses. We have drawn a sharp line
of demarkation between our friends
and our enemies in public life regard
less of their party affiliations. We
intend to more vigorously apply our
non-partisan political policy. The
Legislative progress which we have
made is evidence that this policy is
most effective.
For more than a generation our
movement has faced the greatest po-
litical and industrial forces which
anti-trade union employers could
muster against us. We are the vet
Grams of many hard-fought contests,
and we have seen the attacks upon
us strengthen our ranks while giving
us lessons in the school of expert

on our movement more effectively.
For years efforts have been made
to control, divide or capture our
trade union movement by those who
adopted a policy of boring from
within. Today the trade union move
ment of no country is as free as ours
from the influence of those outsiders
who to further their own theories or
programs endeavor to influence or di-
rect trade unions in their activities.

DISCOUNT DAWES PLAN
BUSINESS IS ADVISED

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Politicia
are jubilant over the increase in
wheat prices and the Dawes repara-
ton plan, but financiers caution bust
ness men not to take these claims at
their face value.
The Annalist, "a journal of finance,
commerce and economics" states that
''there is a observable and probably
justified slight cooling from the first
flush of business optimism which was
engendered by high prices for the
large crop of American wheat"
1t is estimated that the farmers
have gained $2O0,OOO,O0O by the in
crease. Against this, the Annalist
points out, wages of factory workers
throughout the country dropped
$6OO,OOO,OOO in June, July and Au-
gust.
"How much can $2OO,OOO,0OO of
wheat money do to counterbalance
$500, 900 lost wages and lost pur-
chasing power?" asks the Annalist.
In discussing the Dawes plan, this
financial journal says the general
public may receive false impressions,
but this is not true with "thOse who
are awake to the complex and rath-
en- unfavOrable conditions which are

likely to confront our export trade
under the expected conditions of a
German revival.
The New York Evening Post says:
"Some sound judges believe that a
good deal of nonsense has been talked
about the stimulating effect of the
reparations settlements on American
industry"
All of these observers cautiously
point out that with Germany placed
on her feet" as one writer states, that
country will be equipped to supply
her own markets and challenge COM
petitors. Business men are assured
that while conditions are not black,
they are far from being as rosy as
painted.
Taking broad view of the situa-
tion," says another observer, ut ap-
pears that as a consequence of the
PREPARATIONS settlement, more goods
will be produced in the world. In
creased competition and a greater
premium on efficiency appear to be
the inevitable results. Incidentally
it is rather difficult to reconcile such
an outlook with expectation for a
higher level of commodity prices"

Edith Weeks, who came from De-

and graduated into Mile. Edith Bobe,
gown purveyor to the theatrically

business.
So, in tracing down the $4,000
robbery of Mile. Bobe, there come to
light new chapters in what it takes
to be cOuturier to the easy spenders
of the theater, films and cabarets.
AS matter Of cold business Edith
Bobe had constantly to Outdazzle the
dazzlers. Theatrical and movie cele
breties were her customers.
She had to wear such gems as
would bring gasps wherever she ap-
peared. 1t was good advertising.
Her own gowns had to be the last

And she had to entertain. Thus

SITUATION ON
ELECTORS
IS UNCHANGED
Men Favorable to LaFOllette
Still Are in the Coolidge
Column
CONFERENCE is HELD

Roy Frazier, chairman of the Re-
publican state committee as control
led by the Nonpartisan League, to
whom Coolidge forces have been
looking for the withdrawal of presi-
Dental electors now occupying the
Coolidge column but who arc favor
able to LaFollette, early this after
noon was awaiting conference with
F. A. Vogel Of Coleharbor, LaFollette
campaign manager, before taking any
action leading to clearing up the sit
uation. He said Mr.. Vogel was ex-
pected during the afternoon.
A conference which, continued un-
til after closing hours at the state
capitol yesterday failed to settle the
electoral candidate question.
After the conference broke up,
there was indication that the situa-
tion might be settled soon. Effort
wah made to reach Mr.. Vogel, the Ls-
Toilette campaign manager, on the
telephone for his opinion on the sit
ut the time.
The conference took up the pro-
posed form Of the ballot as it will be
prepared by the Secretary of States
office and included Secretary of State
Thomas Hall, Roy Frazier, chairman
of the Republican state committee
as controlled by Nonpartisans; Jud
LaMoure of Pembina, representing
Harrison Garnett, Republican nation
al committeeman, and E. 7. Burke Of
Bismarck. Frazier declared he was
pleased with the proposed form of
the ballot but wanted Vogers assent
before proceeding with the filing of
the designations of the four LaFol-
lette electors, which he said that he
had in his pocket.
The form Of ballot was explained
by the Secretary of State after the
can column, Democratic column, a
Nonpartisan League party column,
and separate columns for each set
of presidential electors. Thus the
Workers Party, which has filed presi-
Dental electoral caVdidates, would
"Workers Party" with the names of
the five electoral candidates bracket
ed and the name Of the presidential
candidate opposite. The LaFollette
column would contain his name at
the head and permit bracketing of
electoral candidates, Secretary Of
State Hall said.
He also declared that all candidates
who desired to file in the LaFolletts
column, including Nye, could do so
by having their names filed on the
LaFollette electoral candidates.

local attorneys now touring Europe
have written friends here telling
what it is like to be entertained by

gave a dinner that later was a real
revelation. Lady Astor gave a gar
den party. Other lords and ladies
gave receptions and parties that we're
grand and these were climaxed by a
reception given by the king and
Queen and their family in Bdcking-
ham palace. 1t was a gorgeous af-
fair with all the pomp we dream Of
and read about. I saw no sign of
snobbery at any time. 1t was just

LIVESTOCK INCREASE

One thousand sheep and several
cars Of Holstein cattle probably will
be put on farms in Burleigh county
by the Agricultural Credit Corpor-
alton this fall, as part Of the pro
gram of assisting farmers in their
desire for more complete divcrsi
fication. Paul Wagner> district re-
preventative of the Agricultural
Credit Corporation, the $1O,000,O00
corporation formed with headquar-
ters in Minneapolis to aid in build
ing up the Northwest, is now in the
field in the interest Of this program.
At least 1,50O sheep will be brought
in from Montana and placed on Bur
leigh county farms by this corpora
tion, according to information 20 P.
C. Remington, one Of the state ad
visors Of the corporation. They will
be put on farms in comparatively
small punches, probably SO to lCO.
Several carloads Of Hc:.tein cows al
so are to be placed OH the farms.
The Agricultural Credit Corporation
purchases the livestock for farmers
and accepts security in return, max
ing the loan payable at y convenient
time.
Mr.. Wagner, who is with the ex-
tension department Of the Agricul-
tural College but is looking after
the district work of the credit cor
poration, received word today that
applications for sheep, which were
to close today, may be made to him
up until September q. The distri-
button of dairy cows will continue
all fall.
This program has neen carried on
in various parts of the state by the
corporation.
Indicative of the trend toward
livestock in the county, in spite Of
this years grain yields, is the un-
loading of six carloads, or about
1920 sheep on the Wilton Pingree
line at Regan and Tuttle, by P. c.
Remington. The sheep came from
the Killdeer mountains and are be-
ing put out to his own tenants, Mr..
Remington said. They are distribut-
ed in punches of so to $50 Sheep
put out on this same territory last
fall under the same plan paid for
themselves in a year, he said.
Other reports indicated that there
will be much livestock purchasing in
the county this fall, numerous farm
ers seeking more milk cows, sheep
and hogs. A marked increase in hog
raising is expected by those familiar
with the trend of things.
