One is the demonstrated fact. thal under present-day conditions, small percentage of the main open to conviction in weeks of the campaign. The the practical truth that in any election it 1s not the noise on the sur- face but the organization work un- derneath which wins, Looking back over the last quarter- century, .1t is quite apparent in retro- spect that every presidential election in that period save possibly one was decided no later than the of the: campaign. The loser in each instance was defeated man before Be began the race and the best he was able to do was to reduce somewhat the margin Of his loss. ‘Yet not one of these defeated can- didates failed to have rousing cam- to be listeners who were for him be- fore he started to speak. ‘The unfluctuating character of the various polls of 1936 would indicate that this year is no exception. In al- most every case the change in stand- ing from week, to week has varied only in such degree as might result from natural accidents. The polls do not agree one with an- other, being based on different meth-} Dal: ods and different principles; but that is beside the point.

Work Important This Year Nor do the practical men of poli- tics put great faith in the potency of public campaigning among that minor percentage of voters who still remain: undecided. It is the enthusiasts who pack po- litical meetings. The more indifferent stay at home from the parades, and they also stay away from the polls in gteat numbers on election day. By and large, they can be reached only by private persuasion and individual at- tention. To capture that elusive percentage Tequires close organization down in the precincts, rather than oratory. Rather than frenzied shouting ber forehand, it requires a definite as- surance that every favorable vote can be brought to the ballot box. The! tate mortgages in favor of the federal] public ballyhoo may be more excit- ing, but no competent political man- ager will let it divert his attention from the more serious work down in the underground tunnels. _ In 1936, especialty, this serious busi- ness will be undertaken with increas- ing intensity as election day nears.

Rules Compromise Judgment Illegal day that an attorney is not’quthor- ized to compromise a judgment or satisfy it for less than the amount due without the consent of the owner of the judgment. Reversing a Burleigh county dis- trict court decision, court reinstated a judgment of the Business Service Collection bureau of Bismarck against Christ Yegan, 9ls0 of Bismarck. The judgment was for $394, but along with other creditors who scaled down debts, the Collection Bureau's judgment was compromised at $00 by its attorney, Scott Cameron, of Bis- District court denied the request to set aside the satisfaction and decree the judgment a first lien. ‘The high court held the plaintiff entitled to have its judgment, sein- stated; but that such judgment should become a lien upon the real property involved subject to existing real es-, land bank of St. Paul and the State Land Bank commissioner.
