A beautiful spot was chosen for the Hoople picnic, an island in the town thinly covered with great cottonwoods and elms, and this picture shows one glimpse at the crowd as it listened to President A. C. Townley ‘deliver the closing address. Many brought lunches and dined under the trees. Benches were placed around the grand stand and hundreds, including women and cluldren, were seated, but many other hundreds had to stand. The “Frazier Special.” 3 This is the official.name of the Non- partisan League special train that will stop at every town on the main railroad lines in North Dakota during the last week of the campaign, closing June 28, primary day. The tour of the “Frazier Special,” bearing the farmers’ candidate for governor, other farmers’ candidates and speakers and officers of the League, promises to bring the League’s message to thirty or thirty-five thousand non- member voters, as well as furnishing an opportunity for Leéague members to shake the hand and hear the words of the next governor of North Dakota. It is gomg to be a big week. With the great series of picnics already under way the “Frazier Special” will end the biggest political effort ever put forward in the state. ..

Five to 10 or 15 minute stops will be made by the train for speeches by Fra- zier and other candidates at hundreds ‘of towns, and each afternoon and even- ing stops will be made in some of the larger towns for longer meetings—big massmeetings to which people will come in’ from all the sutrounding country.:’ " One of the main features of. the . arrangements i3 the opportunity that ‘will' be given to people of the state to travel themselves on the Special from their home station to the nearest big massmeeting.
