Kate Richards O’Hare, well known socialist, to speak tonight in the assembly chamber of thé state capitol. Lieut. Gov. Comings is to preside at the meeting..; ‘ When Voltz referred to the Amer- ican Legion as‘ “political football” there was a general rush for the platform and only after considerable jostling about ard rough-handling of the: speaker when he was knocked down, was the meeting quieted. Other speakers denounced Mrs. O’Hare for her war stand which re- sulted in her serving 14 months for violation of the espionage laws, After an hour-of: speeches a resoltuion was adopted almost unanimously condemn- ing John ‘Morrissey, superintendent of public property, for permitting Mrs. O’Hare to. speak in the capitol. The ex-servics men in this commun- ity in no way deny the right of free speech, the resolution stated. Telegrams have been received at the Governor's office from nearly every Legion post in the state pro- testing against ‘his stand in per- mitting Mrs. O'Hare to use. the as- sembly chamber. : Governor Blene in a telephone mes- sage from Fond du Lac directed the Adjutant-Geveral {o maintain order at the meeting. ‘Word has been sent to university authoritics that they will be held ‘responsible for any demon- stration by students. representatives of’a large part of the citizenship of this state of their own volition. have. voiced a desire that I Number of Cases Now Under Investigation Forks, and both: he and Pierce said they had no homes. |. - } Cecil Shank, pleading..guilty, .to.a chargé of. violating the Mann white|-; slave act initransporting a young girl from Aberdeen, S, D., to Rutland, N.

The sled has been used daily through the winter to carry passengers and freight 50 miles on the Lake of the Woods. The trip requires four hours, according to the owners of the sled, who say it enables people. across the Lake, who formerly spent three days in reaching Warroad, to make the trip in two hours. 43 There is extensive winter fishing on the lake, most of it done 50 miles from here. It was formerly difficult to haul fresh fish to shipping facilites by team without its spilling or freez- ing, but the sled has remedied that condition. i ‘The sled also serves for livery work over roads impassable for teams.
