This is not q local question or =
city question. This is q state ques-
ton. This question should not be
looked upon in selfish way but
should be looked upon in = long,
broad way.
This is not question Of today
alone. Future generations will ap-
prove or disapprove Of our acts Of
today. Surely they will approve
that the state capital remain where
it = located. It now 10 centrally To-

and with good drainage. There also
is much money invested in the pres

This location will be, in time, the
head Of navigation on the Missouri

We should be thrilled by the rich
ness Of our states resources, by the
invigorating air Of our state, by the
brotherhood Of the people Of our
state, founded upon the principles
of justice and wisdom Of the pio-
neers of our state. Every voter, if
undecided, putting away selfishness
and letting his better self predomi-
nate for the time being, will expe-
rience a feeling Of satisfaction and
contentment and will realize the JUS
tice and wisdom of the proposition
to let the state capital remain where
it was originally located by the pio-
neers of our state.

FROM A WELL-WISHER
Regain, N. Oak,
March 7, 1882.

Editor, Tribune:
I just heard q speech made through
WNAX Quincy radio station, at
Yankton, s. D., In regards to the
capital removal proposal. Another
speech similar is to be made on We'd
nesday Of this week about 1880 p. M,
by the Jamestown club.
The speech was good enough to
convert most anybody, although I am
strong for Bismarck and always will
be, regardless Of how many speeches
are made by the jamestown side.
I wonder II jamestown ever tryed to
put the speech over WDAY or our
own radio station KFYR-l just won
der. Why did they have to 60 outside
the state to call the attention Of the
North Dakota voters?
Do you not think, reader Of these
columns, that KFYR should put on
speech of facts, why Bismarck should
retain the capital?
There are q lot Of people that never
read, but they claim they know every
thing, so If this is done, 1t may be a
way Of putting bug In the ear Of
somebody.

CAESAR WAS AMBITIOUS
Wilton, N. D.,

Editor, Tribune:
The writer Of the recent letter
from Steele made very good point
which should be brought to the at
tention Of the voters, /. e. Jamestown
has nothing to lose.
Bismarck has. Also, II the capital
is moved to jamestown, there will
be extra expense Of moving and 1t
would come at time when expenses
hurt.
I don't believe one cent would ever
be saved in the government Of the
state by moving the capital for the
state officers are paid their mileage
by the state and II there were little
saving there it would be more than
offset by the freight on coal, for the
law requires the use Of Ignite coal
for public institutions.
As far as private persons making
trips to the capital on business is
concerned, it Is q very rare thing
when personal trip is necessary, as
each one can decide for himself on
his own past experience.
The whole thing SINNERS down to
this: some Of the jamestown peo-
pie are ambitious. That Is no new
thing but when ambition is used in
wrong ways 1t makes trouble.
I don't believe the voters will vote
to uphold such q personal ambition.

Demons Are Active
In Capital Battle

We've all been hearing much
about the Jamestown campaign
for the capital removal. However,
we didn't suspect the depth to
which the talk had penetrated, es-
pecially among the students Of
Bismarck high school.
A week ago Thursday the Bis
marck basketball team was visit
ing jamestown for the game there.
Several of the boys attended the
pep meeting at jamestown high
school.
Because Of the absence of Cap
tain Eddie Agre, Wade Green was
called upon to make speech.
II don't have much to say" he
said, but : wish you would all go
home and tell your parents to
vote mo" on the capital removal
question" He received a friendly
handclapping and roar Of
laughter.
Later the same day members Of
the Demon squad distributed
vote No" pamphlets and cards
throughout prominent public
places In Jamestown.
We've beaten Jamestown twice
IN basketball and once in debate
this year-can we beat them at
the polls next Tuesday?

NEW YORK, Aug. A call to all

lynching, and terror, to elect dele
gates for the fifth national conven-
ton in the International Labor De-
tense, to be held in Cleveland Oct.
8 and 9, was issued from the national
office of that organization today.
The call stresses the growing need
for a more powerful, more all-inclu-

workers and the multiplication of the
roll Of political prisoners in the pres
ent crisis of unemployment and star
walton.
The arrest of workers by the hun
drdes goes on each week in the U. S
Each week brings its toll of new
political prisoners. Each week sees
more hundreds of workers deported
by the strike breaking labor-spying
department of labor. And each week
brings with it heavier obligations to
the International Labor Defense in
its defense of political prisoners and
for the relief Of those prisoners and
their dependents.

COMPLETE PARTY
TRAINING SCHOOL
Forty-One Stud e n t IS
Took Course

NEW YORK.-The Central Train
ing School of the Communist Party
of the U. S. A. has completed sue
cessful six week training course.
Forty-one comrades from various
parts of the country received an
intensive training in the theory Of
Marxism-Leninism, the problems of
the trade union movement, Organi-
cation Principles, Negro Problems,
Work among-the Unemployed, etc.
The completion of the course was
celebrated by banquet arranged by
Section Is of the Communist Party
District 2.
Here Comrade Browder in a very
effective speech pointed out the i'm
portance of the training schools es-
pecially in the present period when
1--WE are rapidly approaching decisive
mass struggles" He stressed the i'm
portance of carrying on the training
of our members in the y districts.
Comrade Markoff stressed the i'm
portance of the further development
of the students, the necessity of
reading the Party literature and also
the necessity of strengthening the
agit prop work in the district. OF the
three students who spoke at the ban
quet, one was from California, and
one from Montaa, and one from
Pittsburgh. Comrade Campbell, a
Negro in an eloquent speech stated
that while he was in the Party for a
number of years. he was unable to
carry an effective work due to the
lack of political understanding He
stated that the school in the short
term of six weeks gave him con-
fidence in coping with the problems
A very important feature of the
Central Training School was the
high percentage of Negro students; Of
the forty one students IL we're Negro
comrades. This is a considerable
improvement over the previous
schools. There we're IL members OF
the Y. G. L. and women. Thirty
five of the students were native.
naturalized citizens. The following
industries were represented: mining
marine, metal, railroad, automobile
building, textile, needle, food, print
ing, electrical, farming and others
