STATE BOARD
OF CANVASSERS
NOT COMMITTED
No Announcement as to Plans
for Adjournment Author
ized by That Body
LAW PROVIDES PROCESS
Vote Counting Commission Can
Adjourn Until All Soldiers'
Ballots Are In
"The State board of canvassers has
held no meeting it will not meet
until December 3, as provided by law,
and no one is qualified to speak for
the board and state that we will ad­
journ to December 15, for the pur­
pose of receiving the absent soldiers'
vote, nor to any other date," said a
league member of that body today in
commenting upon a' report in a Non­
partisan order to the effect that the
board would adjourn until December
15, so as to allow 70 days between
the dispatching of the absent soldiers'
ballot abroad and the date, of ,their
canvassing.
The state board of canvassers is
composed of Thomas Hall. set!retavy
ol state State Auditor Karl Kosit
zky, State Treasurer John Steen, At­
torney General William Langer and
N. C. Macdonald, superintendent of
public instruction. The first Tuesday
in December is fixed by law as the
date for its meeting. Under an act of
the special session of 1918 providing
for the voting of electors who are in
foreign lands with the American
army or navy, the state board of can­
vassers may adjourn from day to day
from this date until- iV reasonable
amount of time has been allowed for
the soldier vote to be received t*y
county auditors, canvassed and re­
ported to the state board.
There are five Tuesdays in Decem­
ber. There is nothing to prevent, so
far ^s Secretary of State Hall can
see, the state board of canvassers
from meeting each Tuesday after the
first, which is on December 3 until
the last Tuesday of the month, De­
cember 31, so long^as the board com­
pletes its labor4 before midnight of
that day. Unless there are some very
close contests, the votes canvassed
Mitring the latter half of December
will "Dot so materially affect- thfe final
result as to .bring hardship to ?my

dier votes expected to be canvassed
by the state board will have a very
important bearing upon the fate of
the league amendments. No one is
prepared to predict what the soldier
vote on these questions will be, but
expressions which have come back
from the front would indicate ttyat the
soldiers are pretty well fed up with
bolshevikism in Europe, and that they
will not be inclined to favor radical
departures in government at home,

SCHOOLS NOT TO CLOSE
:Xo new cases of flu have been re­
ported in Bismarck over Sunday. But
six cases have been reported in tho
last 72 hours. Conditions in the Cap
I ital City are admirable. Deaths which
have occurred in the last week have
been among cases which originated
a
nionth or more ago
The liew out­
break of "flu hysteria" noted on the
streets today is entirely unwarranted.
This in brief is Dr. F. B. Strauss'
summary of the flu situation in Bis­
marck as city health officer. Dr.
Strauss feels that in view of the very
favorable conditions in the capital
city the circulation of rumors during
the last 24 hours to the effect that
there' are "hundreds of new cases" is
greatly to be deplored.'
"Nothing could be further from
fact," said the health officer today. "1
have consulted in the last 24 hours
with practically all of the medical men
in Bismarck, and they are agreed that
conditions could hardly be better. We
will, of course, have 'flu' with us all
disease has
•been added to the category of infec­
tion, and it is held as necessary to
guard against fill as from
vsmallpox.
diphtheria and typhoid. All are
agreed, however, that any hysteria ov­
er the present situation in Bismarck
is altogether unwarranted. The dan­
ger from the flu today is little if any
greater than the constant danger from
smallpox, diphtheria, typhoid, chick
enpox. scarlet fever and similar infoc
tiohs of epidemic nature.

MUSIC LOVERS AT HELM
Bismarck's "slacker record drive."
postponed from October because of
flu conditions, opened today. Every
Bismarck record which it noi doing its
bit at home is claimed for this cam­
paign, which is to assist in supplying
Itlie army of occupation with music
which will while away the^edium of
,'a long, uneventful winter in Germany.
"We MUST have music. It does lo
ward lightening our task and stimulat­
ing rear comfort and cheer, what noth­
ing else can do," writes Corporal W.
'P. Robertson, Jr., of the. zOHrd ma­
chine gun battalion, camp Deveaa.
"We have a phonograph in our bar­
racks and it serves as one of our par­
amount sources of amusement. If it
were carried away half that makes
barrack life merry would be gone."
To bring music to the men over­
seas, in transports and hero in the
cahtonnietits is the patriotic duty of
every phonograph owner according to
Vivian liurnett, the author and com­
poser, who is acting chairman of the
national phonograpjh-rccord recruiting
corps, with headquarters at 2l East
•ith steet. New York City, which is a
clearing house for distributing music
to the boys. During this week of
Nov. 18 to Nov. 25,' to be known as
recruiting week for slacker records,
the local committee of the corps ex­
pect to collect from homes throughout
Bismarck records which are now not
doing their patriotic bit.
Records of every kind are wanted,
classical as well as rag records, ac­
cording to Eric Dudley, army song
leader at Camp Upton, who writes:
"It must not bo thought that the
boys only like the popular song and
rag records. They listen just as an
preoiativcly to the first class operatic
records. You must realize that wo
have all classes in these camps. We
have bovs who not ouly know the good
records but who have themselves sung
and played in the best, musical com­
binations in tho country.
"I have had many bnyn who have
sung such third's as the Paglacci

wear in regard as to style. and quality
alike. Value cannot be measured by dol­

good style and good appearance depend­
