There are being held throughout the state group meetings to ascertain just how the next step is to be taken in the drive against the soviet lines into which a wedge was driven so effectively Jast June. It is only natural that the: results ‘of the pri- mary should give rise to many ideas as to how the campaign can best be.continued to elect a state and legislative ticket pledged to a program of economic redemption for. the state of North Dakota. Conflicting opinions are being harmon- ized. by..a series of conferences, out of which it-is hoped a ‘plan will be evolved satisfactory to all those who compose the anti-Townley forces. ’ Inthe meantime there should be no rocking, of the boat. This fight is bigger than personal ambition and more vital than mere office getting and job holding. The essential thing is to build an organization that can put principles over and elect men who stand pledged to those principles. Petty political expediency should have no con- sideration in the building of the organization for the fall campaign. There must be a vigorous and a direct drive against socialism. The enthusiasm ‘and self-denial of the primary campaign must be carried into the fall contest against the Townley- Lemke regime. ‘Personalities must be subordi- nated to issues. " my The very logic of the situation compels a com- plete separation of the state and national cam- paign. There are at least 53,000 Republicans and} 15,000 or more Democrats in this state who. are in complete accord upon state issues. They ar opposed to a continuation of the Townley-Lemke regime and what it means to the moral and eco- nomic welfare of the state. " On national issues the anti-Townley Repub- Jicans and the anti-Townley Democrats are far, apart. There can be no fusion of effort so far as the presidential, senatorial or congressional ticket is concerned. The anti-Townley Democrats un- derstand this, as well as they realize that they must stand shoulder to shoulder with their Re- publican brothers in driving socialism out of our state government and in restoring sane and pro- gressive management. Adjustments in reference to the fusion state ticket are in progress and by the time campaign plans take form, it is presumed that all anti- Townley forces will be satisfied and prepared to put their shoulder to the wheel for the major effort this fall.’ It is the universal hope among the anti-Townley forces that the ‘unity’of action that characterized the Minot victory convention will be solidified and' function as potently as it did in June., , i jlt.is team work that we need and the spirit of the poet who wrote: It isinot the guns or armament Or the money. they can pay, ‘It'S the close co-operation ,” That makes them win, the day. It is not the. individual Or the army as a whole, But the everlastin’ teamwork Of every bloomin’ soul. TRADE WITH GERMANY Politics may procrastinate. Statecraft may hesitate. Diplomacy may dilly-dally along the way. But business gets busy; trade carries not. Politicians, statesmen and diplomatists of the United States still are at war with Germany— and with each other. American-German peace hasn’b arrived—officially. But the United States and Germany have re- sumed business relations. The U. S. Department of Commerce has just issued figures of American foreign trade, reveal- ing the progress business has made in ending the war. For the year ending June 30, 1920, im- ports from Germany amounted to $8,540,073, as against $266,996 for the year ending June 30, 1919, Exports from this country to Germany rose from $8,818,882 for 1919 to $202,176,079 for the year ending June 30, 1920, If business waited for statesmen, politicians, diplomats to blaze the trail to anywhere business would get little farther than its own front gatd. But business doesn’t. wait. Business paves its own way. Cantu rebels ‘as Villa-sufrendérs, thus’ keeping Mexico’s crop of sedition up to normal.

EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in not express the opinions of The Tiga They. are pree have goth here in order vhat ou: aldes of Impo: our readers may the press eprran ng issues which are being discussed GOVERNOR COX JOINS ISSUE acer jamie of Nations is now beyond perad- ure the paramo i i i Leila Di unt issue of the Presidential Governor Cox accepts the Republi ~ lenge, reaffirms his complete perc eer Wilson policy and,program, and advocates the im- mediate entrance of the United States into the League without any changes in the Covenant that disturb its basic principles. Those who expected the Democratic candidate to pussyfoot in his speech of acceptance today are disappointed. The score and more of Democratic Senators who stand committed to the Lodge res- ervations or to rejection of the Treaty, will find’ no comfort in his words. Even Chairman White whom he selected to manage his campaign and who recently declared that “progressiveness” and not ‘the League would be the great issue, has proved a poor prophet. The very large element in the Democratic Party which disapproves’ the Wilson scheme for surrendering American nationalism to the ad- vancement of ‘an idealisti¢ internationalism, will feel something akin to dismay over seeing the victory of the anti-Wilson wing at San Francisco utterly abandoned by the beneficiary of the tri- umph, i : The forthrightness, of Governor Cox’s speech is admirable. He tells where he stands on all questions of importance—yexcept that of prohibi- ‘tion, which"he does not directly mention, though he does pledge himself to law enforcement some- what scornfully. But there is nothing in his speech that will interfere with the plan of run- ning him as a wet in the East, while striving to ignore the question elsewhere. : ; Governor Cox is not content with merely stat- ing his own position on the League; he attacks that of Senator Harding lustily if not always fairly. He pours contempt on his opponent’s plan of first declaring peace and then seeking a plan of co-operation with the nations to end war that ‘shall not surrender the American: conscience to the keeping of others. What the nominee says.about the “dishonor” of this course, the “bungling displomacy” of it, the “plain, unadulterated dishonesty” of it, sounds very Wilsonian. It echoes the denunciations so often emitted by the President against those who dared to counsel any divergence whatsoever from the path he had marked out for the Republic. But these objections do not appeal to the com- mon sense as either tenable or sincere. The war is over and for the United Stateg to recognize the fact formally can involve neither dishonor nor dishonesty. The attempted parallel between such an act and the Russo-German peace made while the war was still being fought, obviously fails. Indeed, Governor Cox will be lucky if the course of events in Europe, now so threatening, does not cut the ground from beneath his feet before No- vember. i . The speech at Dayton today reveals the Dento- cratic nominee as a strong fighter, but not always a fair one. He does not scruple to twist the words of his opponent into unjustified meanings. When Senator Harding pleads for a return to normalcy; a*testoration of ‘norntal ‘conditions in industry,-in agriculture, in’ finance, in society, Governor Cox interprets it asa return to the “days of reaction.” \ ! This is in line with the’Democratic plan to pre-empt the once potent word, “progressivism,” in order to lure away some of those who once followed the great Roosevelt out of the Repub- lican Party, and then followed him back again on the issues of the war. : Governor ‘Cox also repeats the political bun- combe that millions in campaign funds have been gathered for “the reactionary cause,” and prom- ises that the Democrats will not attempt to “com- pete by dollars.” If the Democratic coffers are low, it is not for lack of strenuous effort to fill them, nor will such efforts be remitted. And what is lacking in voluntary contributions will be largely supplied by the thousands of office- holders and others who hope through the election of Cox to keep their tap lines to the Treasury running. ; As everyone knows, it takes money to run a legitimate campaign. Proper publicity, which will doubtless be supplied by both the National Committees, will furnish sufficient safeguards. Governor Cox devotes nearly a third of his long speech to the League of Nations issue. Lit- tle fault can be found with his discussion of other public questions less in controversy, and what he says about several of them is pertinent and sound. Except where he is pulled by partisan bias or is trying to deliver a body blow to his opponent, he shows sense and logic in making analysis and drawing conclusions. Ait His ‘speech clears the air on the main issue. The alignment of the opposing forces is settled. The issue is made. It remains to fight the battle of argument and debate, so that the American people may with full knowledge declare in No- vember whether they will enter the League of Nations as Mr. Wilson demands or will retain full control: of. their own. national interests.—Minne- apolis Journal. = Rann-dom Reels By HOWARD L. RANN THE TOURIST WHE tourist is a hopeful biped whose sole mission in life is to feed currency to the wayside garage. © A few years ‘ago tourists. were few and far between, being confined large- | ly to the expert! but widely-busted tramp printer, who remained in town long. enough’ to become thoroughly ; pickled and then toured to the next stop on the brake rod of a poultry car.! With the upspringing of the automo- bile, however, our roads are deeply lined with:a new kjnd of tourist,.who | ‘travels among strangers and pays the | list pri¢e for red inner tubes. Since it has been discovered that the modern automobile can be run several thousand miles without any: more expense than operating a short- line railroad, the practice of skipping from coast to toast in a wabble-legged touring car has become a fixed habit. Most people would rather ride in a new automobile igarrying a pennant | and a weak-lunged storage battery than jump on a transcontinental flyer and inhale free cinders in a rapid and O10 You GeT & ' is Si eared way THATS 2 AL MATCHES and Coun! aS PLASTER and Coro CREAM - ands l The Practice of Skipping From Coast | to Coast in a Wabble-Legged Tour- ing Car Has Become a Fixed Habit. nofseless manner. Statistics prove that a man can drive his own auto- mobile to either coast for less than it | costs to by: a private car rigged up with a shower bath and brunette! porter, unless,a .park plug gives, One nice thing about a long auto- mobile tour is that the tourist gets al chance to meet a great many nice peo- ple and learns how the government regulates the price of gasoline. We have one of the freest forms of gov- ernment in the world, and when gaso- line gets too high in one place all a| man has to do is to drive on te some point where it is a few cents higher, [ This tends to keep the tourist in an amfable and contented frame of mind, and also encourages the building of stone-front garages, which are .often mistaken for the hotel. The tourist does not need to take much of anything with him except | few extra tubes and money. It is as- tonishing how fast money. will ooze away from a tourist who has never done anything to his own car except tilt the windshield. But no man be; grudges the money when he comes back with both lungs full of fresh air, an appetite like a wheat elevator and a coat of tan thicker than a deep sea diver's. Best of all, every tourist is a good roads booster, and he ts already pulling a lot of states out of the mud. ‘ (Copyright.)

His first step in getting ready to yield possesson of the executive man- sion wag an order that his flock of 48 | sheep, which has become:a familiar sight on the spacious White Hous2 lawn, should be sold. No use carrying them through an- other winter, it has been decided, in- volving the purchase of feed and the hire of a care-taker, for before the succulent grass of another spring is high enough to crop someone else will be presdent and the newcomer may not have either time or inclination to bother with sheep. The president’s patriotic venture in sheep-raising, taken as a,stimulus to wool and meat production during the war, has been - most -successful. ‘The herd has: increased in numbers from 18 to 48. The 1918 crop of wool alone, donated. by the president to the Red Cross, brought that organiza- tion more than $52,000. oe ars President Wilson, however, is not alone in beginning plans for a change -| of residence next March.

Knowing that even though a Democratic presi- dent may be elected the new-comer will fill the offices closest'to him witn men of his own choosing and not carry-overs from the present admin- istration, these already are beginning to turn in their resignations. They return either to already es- tablished interests of their own out- side or to cast about for some new connection, Even many men who are ostensibly protected ,by being under civil service are preparing to look elsewhere for Jobs, as they, say,that civil service reg- ulations become mighty elastic, ‘at least with respect to choice positions, when subjected to the heat and pres- sure of a changing administration.

O “TREAD THE MAZY” in shad- owland; in other words to dream of dancing Is, all the séers are agreed, a good sign. Just to dream that you are attending a dance fortells for you success in love and that you will have many friends If, indeed, it does not mean as many think, that you have many now, even if you are not aware of it. You had better Join in the dream dance, however, and not. be. merely an onlooker; for to dream that you are ‘dancing yourself is an omen of many other good things to come. However if you dream that you \simply watch the others doing the minuet, fox-trot, valse de court, two-step ‘or other terpsichorean exercise, It 1s not very bad—it only means that you have gone to bed tired. But to dream that you, yourself, are dancing—then, indeed, are things coming your way. To begin with, there is the success in love and friendship. If you are unmarried, your sweetheart is kind, true, and will make you an excellent wife. If you are married, the dance of. dreamland means an increase in the famlly. Also, all the authorities agree that for the dream dancer, there is a legacy impending. Some say 4 legacy is “probable,” but ‘most say that it {s sure, and many declare that it will come. from, qn, unexpected source, To those, in’ trale,,the dream dance means increased profits, and from tHe..preseit cost of things It is quite evident. ‘that many tradesmen have dreamed this‘dream)‘of late. To the sailor to adreani*of dancing foretells a pleasant and successful voyage, and.to one and _all it, foretells good news from a long-absent friend. or from a distant ,country.,, Just one caution, yoursetf for your dance of dreams; for It you wear dancing tights, while all the other good things may come to you, you will be temporarily short of money.
