To the Voters of Emmons fK y.y, r- 'it. (Political Advertisement) Having been solicited by a number, friends and: voters of both" political parties'to make the race'for County Superintendent of Schools, and receiving sufficient votes at the June Primaries to give me nomination without my name appearing on the ballot, I have decided to try for the office and hereby qplicit your support. I have been a teacher for 14 years, and a resident of Emmons County for .16 years. I have not been endorsed1 by any politicalpurtjr or faction and am not underany obligations to any partjror person, and if elected I shall notallow politics to enter -into- the school affairs ift anyway whatever I am heartily of the of tv iiMGl ild! coBuikl ties, and believe that women have It in tKeiir powerto is especially to the thai makethis appeal. Being a': mother myself, I know some of the problems that confront you in'regard to school matters, together we may be able to eradicate some of the evils After years and.

years of watting we are given the privilege to vote. Why not show the country that we are capable of doing something for its betterment, and one way to do this is by going to the poles Nov. 2dan4 casting our votes for persons we.think will help us to this end. I promise yim to do all it is possible in my power to do, and if I am elected will give my'full time and attention to the. office and spools of the county.

Again. asking for your support, 1 Yours very respectfully, c. E. BROOKS. I take this meians of soliciting support of' the men and women electors of Emmons county for my reelection.

When I filed my petition in the spring, I knew of no other person in the county desiring the office. However, througtf the that some eight or nine voters wrote the name of E. Brooks on the primary ballot, that lady is now making an active campaign. Salaries of county offices have not been 'advanced in keeping iwith the cost of living, and the advanced salaries that can be obtained in the teaching profession. Hence, salary of the office is not one over which any serious political battle is likely to be waged.

But, having become- a candidate at a time tiiat it seemed the office was likely to go begging, it only proper that I make my appeal to the voters, even thougii my opponent be a woman. I assure the public that should the voters feel that Mrs. Brooks can give the schools of county service than myself) I shfll cheerfully aecept their verdict. In conclusion I wish'to put these facts before 1. I was BORN in North Dakota 2.

Everybody is invited, especially the ladies. Miss Nielson is one of biggest public figures in North Dakota. She was the only candidate elected against the league two years ago. 4. Have devoted SEVENTEEN of the best yearsv of my life to the Schools of North Dakota 5.

Am the ONLY candidate for this- office holding a First Class Life Certificate, the highest issued by the state and entitling the holder to hold ANY educational position in the stale. I have held this certificate since 1910, and it is at my office for inspection 6. School business is my profession, and I expect to teach until I have completed twenty-five years 7. I have taught in all kinds of schools from the rural through.the high school, and have served as assistant instructor in the Normal. Sly experience has been such as to amply fit me to continue as supervisor over the schools of this county.

8. During the past -two years I have saved the county $120.00 a month by not having a field deputy, as the law entitles me. I have made 205 visits to schools alone. I have succeeded in raising the number of STANDARDIZED Schools from 7 to 22. This means at least more to the schools of this county.

HENRY H. HANSON. (Political Advertisement) COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES We still have a teacher shortage. At least half of the state is in the same situation 'that we are. While the salary question is a big issue this year, we feel that if school boards raised salaries $25 a month it wpiild not help the situation materially.

Teachers are not to be gotten. All that can be accomplished by big salaries now is to give young people a desire to become, teachers, and the result will be more teachers in the future. There is no more attractive opening now than the teaching profession. We realize that if some of us had spent the same time at other profession that we have in teaching we would have gotten much further, but we are confident that in the future the teaching profession will come into its own. Everyone will not be allowed to teach, only those who have training for the job will be accepted.

The average person would absolutely refuse to have anyone but a trained person perform an operation, Is is not necessary that you should have a trained person to build up your children's education There must be some way to get Normal Trained teachers into the rural schools. It ft absolutely impossible to get ninety-five per cent of the normal graduates to consider a rural school for a minute. They feel that when they have finished such a school they are too good for a rural school. Then, too, there are barely enough graduates each year to supply the places of those who quit the profession. We believe there is a solution to this: us make oar rural schools as attractive as our city schools let's consolidate wherever practicable.

Second, let us put a normal department into every high school, and give that high school enough state aid to enable it to keep that department up. Then let us induce every eighth grade graduate to attend these schools and become trained teachers. Then we would have home teachers acquainted with conditions in our county This year we graduated 103, and if we could induce the majority of these to study teaching for two years and do the same with every eighth grade class every year, there would be no teacher probr lem in this county. attended the Southwestern Section of the North Dakota Education Association at Bismarck tbis The enrollment was more 'than -four bundred. Educators claim that our Compulsory Attendance Law is one of the best in the United States.

As carried out in most counties, however, it is not workable. We have come to the conclusion that no notices should be qent out to parents not sending They know when they are violating this law by this time, as we sent.out hundreds of copies of-the law and hundreds of warning letters last year. Wf feel that it is the parents' duty to write us when their children are out, so that we know whether or not their excuse is valid We intend to send very few letters in the futuire. There is enough in this county alone to keep one truant officer busy seven, months of tjie year." Since it is so haTd. -this: law enforced as it should bis, the State Superintendent's office, and educators generally, are tliat tbis state must hive truant officers.

He will devote all his time to this work until election day.

Mr. Snyder has not been able to devote as much of his time to his campaign as his opponent for the reason that shortage of help and rush of work in the state auditor's office has kept him on the job. BIG HORSP SALE POSTPONED The big horse sales planned for in the county are indefinitely postponed, which amounts to the same as cancelled. The horse market has gone all to pieces, the St. Louis market being closed.

Mr. DeLancey conducted two sales in Golden Valley county, and had to quit. We are very sorry this happened, as several hundred horses were listed and of course this information is a There is a slight possibility of the market returning, and the sales resumed and, in that case, ample notice will be given.

Why do you help to convey the impression to your readers that outside financial interests are pourincr barrels of money into North Dakota to control its elections, when there is absolutely no truth to sufh tommyrot, and you nor none of your bosses have ever advanced one scintilla of evidence to substantiate such a claim? Wily is it that you have for your political county manajrer a fly-byniffht character that not a cent of taxes, has never been a resident of this county and is sent here to instruct the voters on what is good for them and what is not? Wlvy is it that this same county mnnacro'- makes the statement that for four months he did not receive his salarv from the nonoartisan leaijue and had to "borrow" it from the corporation that owns the Free Press? Whv is it that you refer to the fact fhnt. this narer has been recipient of considerable legal patronage and are s'Icnt on the point that this paner has tussled with frontier life for nearly 37 and that it operated for' many years when there was little or no field for a newsnaner. In fact, part of that time you were well provided for up at Mayville at goverhment expense yourself.

In conclusion, we wish to say that we "wiph to be fair with your opponents" and are only meeting thent on their own prround in this campaign. We can admire a straight-from-tha-shoulder scrapper, but we havo no use for hypocrisy. LEAGUERS GIVE ORGANIZATION PLANS. It was announced at the meeting: Tuesday that a committee of men and women were to fret in a car in each precinct, loaded with sample ballots, and make a house-to-house canvass of the precinct beginning with their precinct meeting next Saturday. Meitzen advised the leaguers to get their cars out election day, and bring the voters to the polls as the V.

were going to do it'. FRAZIER AND FR. O'DONOHUE BREAK THEIR DATES Gov. Frazier failed to arrive at Linton Tuesday night to fill the speaking date which had been widely advertised for him by the league officials. Frazier spoke somewhere else that night.

Announcment was made at the Tuesday night meeting that Fr. O'Don ohue, priest from Washington, D. not make his dates at Strasburg and Hazelton because he was sick. Some other speaker will be substituted. Many persons expressed their disappointment at coming long distances to hear what the governor would have to say, and then to find he hadn't come at all.

Several other speakers substituted for him. "Jack Knife" Meitzen, Texas socialist, appeared to be the official mud-slinger of the meeting. N. A. Mason, present secretary to the governor, and former secretary of a socialist local at Wimbleton, this state, appeared and sung the governor's praises.

Miss Alfson, Tom Hall's opponent, was present. Tax Commissioner Wallace, appointee of Gov. Frazeir, was present. A man by the name of Behr.ens also spoke, and was probably the best speaker. An Open Letter to The President of the Emmons County Farmers Press Corporation: Recently, the Free Press published an offer of $100 to us to substantiate certain claims we made.

The offer was signed, "Contributed." We ask you if you wrote tliat article, and whether or not the officials of your corporation had authorized such offer. We have the evidence in this office, to convince any responsible man. Will you come into the office and personally look over that evidence? Signed, PROOF LEAGUE LEADERS ARE SOCIALISTS (Continued from Frani Page) ing that he turned the stuff over to Odell. After such a trick as the above, it is a blot on the name of this state that Loftus should continue as bank examiner, and that Hagan should continue as member of the guaranty commission through Gov. Frazier's appointment.

Also we find that when the nonpartisan league wanted organizers to organize the farmers, they advertised for the same in the Appeal to Reason, a newspaper that advocated the following national ticket: For president, Eugene V. Debs (now in federal prison at Atlanta, Ga. for vice president, Kate Richards O'Hare (recently released from Fort Leavenworth. Now, a word about one Carl D. Thompson.

He was on the national committee of the socialist party in 1905. Was nominated by Victor Berger in 1908 for president on the socialist ticket. He managed the 1916 Socialist national campaign. He is secretary of the "Public Ownership League," with headquarters at Chicago. Now, turn to your Nonpartisan Leader of Oct.

16, 1920, and you will find the schedule of a list of league speakers in the present campaign. You Will find among the list of speakers the following: Spurgeon Odell, Carl D. Thompson, E. R. Meitzen.

Then go back over this article and find out who they are. No wonder that Sen. Ward refused to debate the editor of the Record on the proposition that the league, was organized' and managed by a bunch of resident and non-resident socialists, that the league administration had centralized vast power in the hands of the governor, that there was inefficiency and graft in the administration. We ask any interested persons to call at the Record office between now and election and be convinced by undisputable proof. Come in and read over the by-laws of the league itself.

When you get through you cannot doubt that the socialists have put over organization and that the socialists propose to keep control, and that they are arranging their laws in the state So that they can put their plans across even though the people of the state may object. Come in and secure evidence of what the recognized socialist creed is. Come in and find out that one of their basic claims is that the state should own the practically everything else. Then, when we convince you that Fay Harding claimed some few months £go that the state would own all the land within three years, you will know that Harding, has undoubtedly been sticking so hard that the men above have been willing to let him peep behind fre scenes, and to see some of their future plans. In fact, Carl D.

-Thompson, now speaking for the league of this state, wrote a Signed article during the war supporting the contention that the government should put a tax of two billions of dollars on the land. Their pet plan if to tax land so high that the owners will be gald for a different will give in to a state ownership program. Ana last, bat not least, isn't it cheap play for votes that the league coon ty manager or whoever "contributed" pulled off when he faced reams' of eyidence with a Muff at putting up 1100 that the Record man lied he said the league was organized and managed by a bunch of resident and nonresident socialists? r-. t- Those of yoa wto are property-owners and tax-payers in this state had better get right down on your knees and pray that tliese socialists may be pried loose from power on November 2, 1920.
