P There is a possibility however, it was said at ‘the weather bureau. A low pressure weather ex- ists ovér the Northwest. If it goes ~ straight eastward it probably will! mean. fair weather in the southern! part of the state; if it swings south- east it probably means rain. The forecast for tomorrow is for fair and rising, temperature. Freezing ten- peratures, were reported in Montana, Wyoming aid northwestern North Da- kota this morning. While rain is reported over the , southern part of the stute, in the west it hag not rained in Fargo or in Wil- liston. There may have been rain in the northeastern part of the state. PLOTS, COUNTERPLOTS CHARGED IN FIGHT - There. were charges of plots an'l! counterplots brewing in the recall elec- tion campaign in the ‘wo camps to- day. The league’s charges as made in the Courter-News and the answer of the I. V. A. follow: “Reports of fraud in the circulation | of the I. V. A. recall petitions con-| tinue to pour in to Attorney General! Lemke. These reports come from all| -sectons of the state, and have con- vinced O. B. Tewes, wito is handling ‘this investigation for the attornev! general, that frauds are widespread and were deliberately encouraged by} the I. Y. A. officials..who,had charge of the circulation of the petitions. + “It is pointed out, furthermore, that the disclosures of fraud (hus far made have marked only a mere beginning of the investigation Only a few out of the thousands of petitions haxe been covered by the investigations thus far made. In miuuy sections of the state the signers’ names have not yet been published and txc people have ‘not. had an opportunity to scrutinize the lists. . “Under. the circumstances, ‘there fore, attaches of the attorney general sp office_are inclined to believe that the petitiois from all over the state are tainted with fraud and cannot stand close scrutiny. In the names of dup- lications and unknown signers furnish-|'. ed today ftom the attorney general’s office all duplications that have al- » Yeady been published in the Courier- News have been excluded.” The I. V. A. headquarters wired out ithe following answer: ‘neidThe, reagon for all the wild talk by sdeague-speakers and by, league news- ipa pens about. alleged trauds in the <signatures en recall jetitions were i brought to-light-when it wads discov- ered that false lists of alleged dupli- cate wignatures have been sent by league headquarters to their local workers. The idea iy to. challenge people whose names ar: on these lists and if possible prevent them from vot- ing. The lists are mace up for this purpose only. Independent state head- ‘quarters timmediately instructed work- ers by wire to_be on guard against this and other tricks. “very man and woman over twenty-one years old have a right to vote whether they are registered or not.” {SAY ALL VOTERS 'HAVE ‘RIGHT TO VOTE The Independent headquarters at Fargo today telegraphed out the fol- lowing statement: “Having failed. in their effort to exile the voters with ghosts of various kinds ard thus get a folhowing the league leaders are now endeavoring to keep the Independent voters away _Arom the polls by threatening to bar. those from voting who have signed recall petitions prior fo the Devils Lake convention. Inform all workers: that every citizen has a right to vote. Any voter that is challenged can take the ordinary voters oath and the elec-| - tion officials must under the laws of the state permit such party to vote. If any voter is refused the ballot the at- tention of all who are in the polling Place at the time should be called to the fact so that they may be witnesses in later court action. Instruct work- ers to keép a careful record of all who are chalfenged or denied ballots in- adventently. Signing of two recall pe- titions bars no one from voting. Use tclephone to inform workers.” « SUIT: FAILS TO STOP BOND SALES IN EAST George M.
