Ladies and gentlemen, in introduc-
ing the speaker of the day l call at
tention to the Importance of the letter
F.. 'F" here now stands for former
governor, but l am sure that many
here think as think and hope, that
it also stands for future governor"
The ex-state officials and ex-office
holders applauded the statement Wig
orously, with one lone exception. Ray
Chase did not find it in his heart to
approve of Mr.. Colds suggestion that
Ted Christianson be considered again
as a candidate for Governor.
In his speech the former Governor
INDUCED in much laudation of Herb
HOtaling. Il appointed Herb Hotal-
ing Tourist commissioner because
knew he was a great man." he said.
But l made a mistake. l believe
he is Scotch. l should have appointed
him not a member of the Big Three,
but should have made him the Big
Three all in one. He can wear a
dime thinner and stretch a dollar
farther than any other man l

$4,000 Per Year.
AS to Hotaling having wrought won
ders in his work, many deny that
claim. It does, however, seem that
he is sufficiently Scotch to be inter-
ested in the dough- He receives as
tourist commissioner, $4,000 per year
from the state and gets substantial
salary from other organizations in
Guiding the Ten Thousand Lakes AS
sociation. Those familiar with his
income from these several sources
say that it will approximate $4,000
per year.
The meeting was largely devoted to
attacks upon the present administra-
tion and especially upon the Game
and Fish department. The fact that
at least few of the present game
wardens are of the Farmer-Labor po-
litical faith and cannot be expected
to go out in next years campaign to
boost for the Republican candidates,
seems to be what is worrying the out
fit. That is the only conclusion that
can be drawn from the statements
made at the meeting.
The sportsmen of the state gener-
ally are well pleased with the present
management of the Game and Fish
department. More arrests of violators
have been made during the past few
months than were made during the
same months in 1880 when the Re-
publicans were in control. And the
new game wardens are the ones who
have made most of these arrests.
Wants FL. Party in N. d.
L. C. Miller, editor of the Bowbells
IN. d. Tribune, writes that some
effort will be made to start a Farm
er-Labor party in his state next year.
Mr.. Miller asks that he be placed
on the mailing list of the Farmer
Labor Leader in order to keep in
touch with events in Minnesota.
Il personally have been working
for long time to get the Nonparti-
san League bunch to start a third
party here but with Indifferent sue
cess apparently" he says. But am
going to keep on hammering until
after the convention at least, and
possibly after a good beating in the
primary if they choose to run their
candidates as Republicans we can get
some support for the Farmer-Labor
party"
Miller IS Right.
Mr.. Miller is on the right track.
What North Dakota needs is a Farm
er-Labor party. 1t is in fact both
impractical and unethical for the
Nonpartisan Leaguers of the Flicker
tail state to continue to pose as Re-
publicans when as a matter of fact
they have no sympathy whatever with
the Republican party's platform and
practices. 1t may be that there was
justification to masquerade as Re-
