Who would think that there is a
fall political campaign on and that
election day waa less than a couple
of weeks off
About two weeks from now it will
be the turn of at least some of the
office seeking candidates to tell of
how they went over the top.
It will soon be time to hang out
your "Do Your Christmas Shopping
Ear'y" sign, Mr. Bucinessman. How
about that line of holiday advertising?
To say the least about it condi
tions politically are most unique.
Few if any candidates are canvassing
and there is nothing doing in the way
of organizing a campaign on old
party lines.
The Milton Globe asks: "Why not
elect Doyle governor of North Dako
ta? The republicans elected a de
mocrat to that office for three suc
cessive terms, and we know of no
reason to regret it."
When Americans are taking part
in the world's war in a -fight for a
etdom of all people, the glamour
a campaign of politicians for offi
-.al preferment becomes a mere Bide
a.iow in the eyes of the people who
cast the votes.
Those clouds of smoke that ob
scured the sun for a couple of days
last week were evidence of the fear
ful catastrophy that visited the fire
swept timber region of northern Min
nesota resulting in the loss of several
hundred lives and the destrueticn of
millions of dollars worth of property.
snow
A year ago at this time
covered the ground and the "squaw
winter" that stopped fall plowing
and the rest of belated work on the
farm, reigned supreme. It will also be
recalled that the weather opened up
again during the most of November.
The snow storm that ushered in the
premature freeze up occurred
October 15th.
on
Farmers are this fall paying from
$80 to $100 a month for men to do
plowing- until freeze-up. This is over
the top when compared with the fall
wage scale of former years. North
Dakota here feels the pinch occasion
ed when her sons have bees called
from the plow to join forces in the
war for humanity, but it is done with
a williigneM that spells victory.
After what one reads of the forest
fires of northern Minnesota it would
almost seem that an extra care would
be taken to prevent the. starting of
prairie fires here this fall. With the
extra long and dry stubble on the
large crop acreage that has been ar
vested there is a constantly menacing
danger to farm property until the
fall plowing is well under way.

graduating I practiced for two years

If elected state senator I will consi
