It *jr f' V V V V iiS- .0:' 1, ^V fr Eleven years have been completed by onr local college and it will be Interesting to the citizens of James town and the vicinity to know just how the college stands and what it has been to the city as one of its great enterprises. Look 'at the fol lowing figures and ask yourself the question what this college is to the community. The current expendi tures in cash locally during the past eleven years were as follows: 1909-1910 —$14,945.40 1010-1911 19,151.21 1911-1912 25,466.68 1912-1913 28,674.26 1918-1914 31,862.30 1914-1915 36,724.28 1915-1916 30,781.96 '1916:1917 50,584.04 1917-1918 47,830.65 1918-1919 69,455.38 1919-1920 84,813.16 Total 1440,389.31 It is to be noted that this sum was all paid out in cash for the general current expenses of the college. It represents food, light, supplies of all -descriptions and materials touching -every phase of business in the city. -It doe# not include building mater ials, nor labor in construction work, etc so in addition to the above flg -ures the following must be included: .Labor on campus 810,000.00 Estimated building mater ial and labor locally....l50,000.00 Total $160,000.00 There were 2,321 students and teachers during this time, each one of which spent annually a consider able sum, which should be alBO add ed. With an estimated expenditure of each one of $260 a year, the total .-spent by them in the city would -mean $580,250. This is a very low and therefore reasonable estimate, .for in most college communities the estimate is far in excess of this an nual amount. So to recapitulate, we 'have the following results: TTotil -current' -expend! ture of the college $440,389.31 "'Total spent in improve ment, labor and ma terials 160,000.00 Total spent by students and teachers ... 580,250.00 And on the porches this morning: Fargo, N. D. Oct. 27.—Officials of the Fargo Trades and Labor Assem bly indignantly deny any responsi bility for a vile circular delivered to the homes of people of Fargo by or ganizers for the Nonpartisan league. So rotten was the pamphlet that on the front page was printed this warning: "OAR® MUST BE) TAK EN THAT IT DOES NOT REACH THE HANDS OF CHILDREN OF IMMATURE, MINDS." The pamphlet was distributed broadcast. It bore the name of the Fargo Trades and Labor assembly. It was the most vicious and despica ble piece of "literature" that has emanated from the Nonpartisan league headquarters in the desper ate campaign to stave off the ogre •of defeat which is bearing down up on them. Deny Responsibility This is the statement of two offi cials of the trades assembly denying responsibility for the circular: TO THE PEOPLE OF FARGO: It was brought to my attention yesterday afternoon that the name of the Fargo' Trades and Labor as sembly had been used to sponsor a campaign document known as "Stringent League Laws Against Immorality." I want-the people of Fargo, and the people of the whole state,- to know that the publication of that document was- never before the Trades and Labor assembly. I want the people to know that the Trades and Labor assembly does not approve of that sort .of campaign charges, and I want them to know absolutely that the union men of FargO are not, nor will they permit themselves to become, the avenue for attacks on citizens of North Da Icota, snch as are contained in this material...

INDIGNANT DENIAL BY UNION OFFICIALS OF RESPONSIBILITY For Vile Pamphlet Spuriously Circulated—-Fargo Trades and Labor Assembly Lead can Repudiate Circular. Copies of this pamphlet were thrown around Jamestown puring --the night and found behind screens preciable, to say the least. We should recognize that we have a million dol lars industry in the college. Look at the assets: Campus ........... ..........$36,000.00 Buildings ..........365.000.00 Buildings .... .............365,500.00 Endowment 379,306.11 Total assets $835,8,06.11 Fifty-six per. cent of the current expenses each year has been secured by personal solicitation and church offerings, or a sum total of $246,618. This with the permanent assets would, make, the pplendid sum of $1,082,424.11 as secured for the col/ lege from benevolent sources in 11 years. With this wonderful background of financial assets, annual expend!? tares, and business transactions* It ought not to be difficult for every-cit izen to realize two things namely the inestimable worth of the colleger to our community and Btate, andthe wisdom for every citizen to make "the college a matter of personal consid eration in all its needs and"*triumph». The latter is of special importance just now. It may be know nto some but possibly not generally that- the General Education Board (The Rock efellar Foundation has given the college a conditional offer of $50,000 for $200,000 additional endowment. ThiB offer expires on December 31, two months from now. Sixty thou sand dollars has been secured, and $90,000 must yet be secured. What part will Jamestown take^ of this $90,000 balance? Think it over. Do your part. Do not let this wonderful offer from the greatest benevoelnt foundation in the world be lost. It will mean a great thing for our col lege to win out, as it will then be only the beginning of great gifts from this cource. The college is the only institution in the state thus favored, and this alone is a wonderful testi mony of the greatness of our insti tution. It is the desire Sf the college that everybody have a share in this campaign which- is. now on.- Small sums and large sums will be very welcome. No matter what vou may have done in the past, do it again and again. We grow by doing, not by living upon past achievements. It is the avowed purpose to make our college the distinctive school of the Northwest. We are already so crowded that students have to be turned away as far as housing is concerned at the college. We heed right now four new buildings. This by President Schannach and Secre tary-Treasurer Elof Fridlund these facts became known: The name of the labor assembly was. appropriated by the city com mittee of the Nonpartisan league. The chairman of this committee is Gallagher, imported league organiz er, said to be the same Gallagher who was charged by the American Legion post of Bismarck of signing his name as post adjutant to a per sonal communication of political trend. Under Cover of Darkness The pamphlet was distributed un der cover of darkness, being throwii on porches of Fargo homes. A "campaign" committee of the labor assembly, a member of which admitted to the assembly, that it has permitted the Gallagher com mittee to father the pamphlet, "Stringent Laws Against Immorali ty" is composed of three men, one of whom is a candidate for the leg islature. The whole affair was a palpable effort on the part of the Nonparti san league managers to escape re sponsibility for the vile document, which doubtless was paid for by contributions of men and women members of the Nonpartisan league. It contains most vicious attacks on prominent North Dakota citizens. One of these is E. W. Everson, pre sident of the North Dakota Total 'Abstinence society,' an organization of Norwegian Lutheran men and women of the state who have engag ed in a Hong fight for prohibition and law enforcement. Charges made against Mr. Everson cover al leged visits to sporting houses in St. Paul and alleged participation in a "liquor flavored" party in St. Paul. Theo. G. Nelson is the other object of the attack. IRISH LOVE LYRICS SlIWC BY OUARA One of the sweetest Irish love stories ever told is "Springtime in Mayo," in which Fisk O'Hara took the leading role at the Jamestown Opera House Wednesday night. There was an abundance of Irish wit song and laughter the entire even ing and the capacity audience was with the actpr and his able sup porters from the actor's entrance on the stage with "hello everybody." Mr. O'Hara sang a number of new songs and was especially generous with his encores. The Lilac Tree, a song for little boys and girls, and Don't Tou Love to Dream of Dear Old Ireland? were sung between the second and third acts by Mr. O'Hara, who had the' role of a rollicking Americanised Irishman. Mr. O'Hara and cast answered many curtain calls. A number: of the east, Patricia Clary (Mrs. O'Hara), W. T. Sheehan, Mary Malloy,* J. E. Miller and J. P. Sullivan, were, with Mr.. O'Hara In "Marry In Haste," which appeared at the Opera ilduse on Apiril' 23, 1919. . "Springtime in Mayo" was as ad vertised—a wholesome /and pretty Irish play. i Mr. O'Hara is especially interested in Jamestown, having here an ex soldier friend, Russell Beach with:: whom he became acquainted through, the comfort kits which the actor dis tributed jiving the war. The two have since kept up their correspond ence and Tuesday Mr. Beach received telegram from Mr. O'Hara stating he woald be here on Thursday and wished to see him. .w SHIP NAMED BILL (Mr*.

Nedson's Own Statement According to the Courier-News of October 28th, the present campaign of malicious slander against Mr. Everson and myself was started be cause we, as officers of the Indepen dent Association, have volunteered to furnish "information regarding Socialism, (Bolshevism, Proletarian ism and State Socialism" to anyone that might request it. I don't be lieve that even members of the (Non partisan. League will voice approval of it. Decent people would not for the sake of getting political -ven geance become a party to slandering my wife and children, two of whom Rre attending the public schools of Fargo. The Independent Voters Associa tion was organized for the purpose of gathering and dlseminating infor mation on questions of political economy*- As its officers, we .. have gathered a great deal of data on many theories and lsms^ pertaining to problems of government and we are only doing our duty when we are giving that Information to the vot ers of North -Dakota. Such informa tion is needed now. There is nothing' about my pri vate or public life in any place where I have ever been for which it Is necessary to make apology. I have nothing t'6, hide. My intimate ac quaintances know that. I am not a candidate for public office. There fore, I have no right to gum up the gears and divert attention from the issues in this campaign, by injecting an airing of my personal affairs in to it. These matters can be attend ed to later. THEODORE G. NELSON. Everson Charges Untrue Fargo, N. Dak. Oct. 28, 1920. I have known Mr. E. W. Everson for years as a member of the North Dakota Legislative -Assembly, as an ofltcer in the Scandinavian Total Absinence Society, a member of the North- Dakota State Enforcement League, and also a member of the Legislative Committee, composed of. two representatives' each of the1 Scandinavian Total Abstinence So ciety, the Enforcement League and the Womans Christian Temperance Union. Mr. Everson is actively interested in the reforms for which these or ganizations stand and while a mem ber of the Legislature voted and worked for the passage of every temperance and moral measure .be fore the Assembly. I have absolute confidence in his moral character, integrity and up rightness, and am surprised that his political enemies should be so un wise as to attack him along the lines where he is strongest. No attack upon his moral charac ter can have any effect upon those who know him best. I am not defending him as presi dent of the Independent Voters As sociation, but as a man whom I have known and worked with for years, and the same words would be spok en with as much readiness if he were still a working member of the Nonpartisan League. q. 0. Elizabeth Preston Anderson. have known Mr. Everson for several years and heartily endorse the above statements. Qarbara H. Wylie. P. CAMPAIGN TO COST THREE MILLION Chifcago, Oct. 28.—The republican national committee's campaign to elect Senator Warren G. Harding president will cost $3,442,892.32, Fred W. Upham, national treasurer of the party, notified the senate committee appointed to investigate campaign expenditures in a report filed with the committee here today. Of this sum $3,042,892.32 had been spent up to the close' of bui ness Sunday October 24th, and Ujpham estimated the expenditures in the closing week of the campaign at $400,000 additional. The report shows that $301,388.98 was spent between October 18 and 2 4 th. Eighteen 'donations of more than $1,000 each include, ft. S. Lewis, Fargo, N. D. $1,100.'

PASSENGERS IN HEAD-ON COLLISION NEAR MEDINA SATURDAY Northern Pacific passenger trains No. 1 and 2 met in a head-on colli sion about two miles west of Medina at 11:45 Saturday morning. The en gines of both trainB were badly damaged, and there was Bome dam­ age to some of the cars but none of the coaches left the rails and no one was seriously injured. The cause of the wrcck is un known. The news of the Occident did not reach the city until nearly an hour after the collision, the con ductors going thro the trains and making a careful survey of the in jutiees received by the passengers and crew before reporting. There were no bones broken, according to all information received, but three physicians were sent to tne scene of the wrqck to care for the minor in juries on the -N. P. wrecker which left here about one o'clock. The trains were traveling at a comparatively slow rate of speed when they met, the collision occur ring within three hundred feet of the switch where the trains were scheduled to pass. Officials at the division headquarters expected to have the track cleared by five or six o'clock this evening. THREE DOLLARS SENT OUT OF STATE FOR EVERY ONE BROT IN 'Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 28.—A pal pable and glaring "error" made by Governor Frazier in a campaign speech was pointed out here today at the. state house. Governor Frazier is reported to have told an audience that for every dollar deposited outside of North Dakota by the Bank of North Dako ta three dollars in deposits havo been received from outside of the state from labor and organizations. The own figures of the bank, which always are accepted by the public with a grain of salt, show that on Oct. 15 there was $586,616. 14 of state money deposited outside of the state and a total of individual dejMwlt*'Of $189,027.35. In other words, for every dollar brought In to the state three dollars- have been' sent out of the state. VICIOUS SLANDER OF SOCIALISTIC PRESS In Its latest issue, the local So cialist organ, the Stutsman County Press, says that the Jamestown Alert, the Fargo Forum, the Grand Forks Herald, The Bismarck Tri bune, The Stutsman County Demo crat "and other newspaper degen erates", also a "few unchristian pulpits" have taunted the members of the Nonpartisan League in North Dakota with being "mortal degener ates", and charged that the League was "a Free Love organization". Tne Stutsman County Press also says that the above named papers "are maintained and dominated by the licentious group of men who constitute 99 per cent of the liber tines to be found in iNorth Dakota". Readers of the above named pa pers well know that not one of them ever charged or Intimated, that the members of the Nonpartisan League were-1 ree lovers, and that the League was an organization of that kind. Every reference made to the literature which was attempted to be circulated at (Bismarck embody ing the theories of Ellen Key, and the free love propaganda, distinctly separated the members of the league from the leaders. No independent newspaper, and no minister of the gospel ever made such a charge, and any account of the literature that was intended to be sent broadcast thruout the state, always disclaimed responsibility for the membership of the league and put the blame where It rightfully belonged on the social ist leaders, in charge of the league's propaganda work. Any newspaper publisher who will rmbl'cally assert that the patrons of the independent press in this city or state "constitute 99 per cent of the libertines to be found in North Da kota" is either crazy in his head, or BO lost to all sense of truth as to be beneath the contempt of every re spectable man and woman. How the owners of the Stutsman County Press can expect to gain the support and obtain the confidence of respect able people, in any community by such methods, is impossible to un derstand. The only explanation is that the owners of that sheet have nothing to say about the conduct of the paper or what is printed in it. The Alert, or no other independent paper ever charged such a gross li bel on members of the Nonpartisan League, as being free lovers, and the organization a free love associa tion. The statement is absolutely false and is believed by nobody who knows the facts or who has read the Independent papers, and the files of the Alert are proof sufficient. The resentiment of every self respecting person at the kind of campaign be ing conducted ig behalf of. the league candidates, will be registered at the polls Nov. 2. HAD'NT THE PROOF Governor Frazier at a meeting In Devils Lake, is reported as saying that the Chamber of Commerce had paid into the I. V. A. campaign fund $1,000,000 to defeat the Nonparti sans. Mr. Serumguad asked Gover nor- Frazier. 'Wave you proof that the Chamber of Commer.ce has con tributed one dollar to the I. V. A. cmapaign?" "I haven't the proof with me". Frazier answered, "but I. know that the Chamber of Cdmerce controls the I. V. A. newspapers." •Well", said Mr.: nerumgard, "if yoti will come to my house I will show you Wfbo the contributors co the I. V. A. campaign are. I want to. giye you a chance to put yourself right. I don't want the governor of North Dakota to go around false statements". BORROW H0NEY •. jr.*.

George's cathedral over the body of the late lord mayor of Cork, Terence MacSwlney. Church dignitaries, lord mayor of Dublin, the deputy lord mayor of Cork and deputations representing the British Parliamentary labor party and vari ous Irish political and civic organiza tions attended. Thousands of persons thronged ev ery available space in the large ca thedral scores standing on chairs in the aisles straining for a glimpse of th^ chancel where the casket reposed on a catafalque with four officers wearing the uniform of the Irish re publican army standing motionless as the guard of honor. The casket was surmounted by wreaths and a hat worn by the lord mayor as commandant of the Cork brigade of the volunteer army. The breast plate of the coffin bore an in scription in Gaelic, reading: Murdered by the Foreigners in Brixton Prison, London, October 25, the Fourth of the Republic. Aged 40 years. God have mercy on his soul. -fl1 In the front pews reserved for the family and official delegations there was one figure missing, the lady mayoress, who collapsed this morn ing from the strain and anxiety and was unable to be present. Just as the services were beginning the four men who with their com rades had been guarding the body throughout the night, were relieved by a quartette wearing long coats, which they took ofT as thejr stepped to their places, exposing the* uniform of the Irish republican army.
