Jt was believed desirable b} everybody to in a like manner concen rate the collections of the Se: ud Congressional Campaign nittves. Some months ago an ar: nection with raising funds for war purposes these popular drives had he- come familiar activity, and it seemed at this time to undertake that kind of action by a,political organization. We particularly hoped that this activity would increase the political interest. “The plan was proposed early in 1919. I think the first publication of the idea was on May 21, 1919. (See N. Y. Tribune account of that day.) It was then the purpose, and it has since heea the pose, to endeavor to limit the contributions to a maximum of a thousand dollars for any one year| rangement was made with both the from any individual, or a thousand | Senatorial Campaign committee in dollars before the nominating conven-]| terested in the election of Senators tion and a thousand after.’ We have} «nd Congressional campaign, com all tried to adhere to that plan. {i} nittee interested in electing Congress has been an innovation of recognized} men, that there would be but on merit, but, being an innovation, it has | noney raising organization, or at leas there would be such a co-ordination of the money raised as that it woulc to have so man; been necessary to acquaint the public with the plan to install the political interest.

As announced in the first instance, there was a general tom- mittee of Ways and Means acting under the treasurer, to carry the work into each state to ultimately get small contributions from the smallest units}. “As soon as possible after the con- of territory. vention definite plans were made fo: Committees Formed the campaign proper, and a budget o “With the formation of the National | e was worked out as carefully Ways and Means committee came the! as possible, beginning as of-July 1, 0 effort to get a state Ways and Means} a total amount which would be need: committee in every state, with a man} ed for the pone campaign, and thi: as state chairman and a woman as{ was $3,979,037.20, Mivided as f@lows vice chairman, then to endeavor to get ki county chairman of the Ways and Means and a woman vice chairman, and then by such processes of organ- ization as the localities might adopt, — a NDERINE” air Coming Out; s Its Beauty. connection parti- mectings, travel- ing and other expenses of speakers ‘ Headquai ers ‘E XY Washington, New Boston, Chicago, Uenver and Sqn Francisco, in- cluding administration, typists, mailing depart- ment, tlepehone, tele- graph, furniture and bey “NA 4 fixtures, supplies, post- travel- age, envelopes, ing expenses . 750,874.2( All headquarters ....... 45,643.0¢ Publicity Including news service to Republican papers, pam- phiets, booklets, text * books, shipping ex- penses, lithographs, campaign buttons, “pill boards, advertisements in magazines, etc. .

A. Anderson, who is secretary of the ndustrial commission, and George K. Fostey, of Bismarck, a league candi- late for district judge. 1 The board was in session for action n the case of a couple of stock com- vanies. William Langer and Thomas Jall were present, Governor Frazier dyeing out of the city. Brinton ap- veared and complained of Lofthus ’ac- ion as stepping beyond the law. ‘she ooard then decided to go into the vhole matter. Summon Both Sides A resolution adopted by the board ollows: Inasmuch as 0. E. Lofthus, state miner, has ‘supocned in J. W. nton, H. P. Knappen, and C. M. ‘3rinton, being directors of the Bur- eigh County Farmers’ Press, to ap- sear before him as state examiner ind secretary of the Blue Sky board, ind if “Inasmuch as Mr. Lofthus _ states hat he took this action on his own initiative, after conferring with Mr. V. A, Anderson and Mr. George K. Foster, and t “Inasmuch as Mr. J. W. Brinton has this date appeared beforg the; Blue Sky board and offered to sub-" stantiate under oath his statements that the Publishers’ National Service yureau both directly and indirectly | chrough William Lemke, has sold sev-| 2ral hundred thousand dollars. worth of stock in the state of North Da- kota, and among other stock has ck i approximately $10,000 worth. of stoc in Burleigh county, and No Stock Sale Because “Inasmuch as the records show that no license has been issued to Wil- liam Lemke or the Publishers’ N: tional bureau or any of its agents to sell such stock in this county .er any other county, “That this board instruct 0. E. Lof- thus as secretary to file criminal complaint with the’ state’s attorney of this county against said concern and its officers, and that Mr. Lofthus ‘report to this board in writing with- in three days as 'to what action the state’s attorney takes.” Another motion passed by the board directs that Lofthus subpoena all “the officers of the Publishers’ National Service bureau, William Lemke and F.

The most remarkable thing about the affair, as it appeared to members of the Blue Sky board, was Lofthus’ action in ordering Knappen to take charge of all records and books of the plant.

Lofthus, when asked about the af- fair, said he acted on complaints against Brinton’s connection with the paper, and felt it should be investigat- ed, and acted under pressure con- ferred on the state examiner. The board als@ instructed Lofthus to notify Governor Frazier, who is out of the city, of the hearing, and asked that he be present. Knappen, it was reported, had been discharged by Brinton, and the notice appearing at the head of this story the explanation offered for the present situation of the paper. se! ASPIRIN WARNING!
