That is, the companies will insure ~160 acres of land against hail losses up to $1000 for one season for a premium of from $65 to $100, the rate varying in various parts of the state but in no place being lower than $65 per $1000 worth of insurance.

In many places the crowds gave cheers as the Frazier train pulled in and as it left. This did: not happen once on the entire trip-of the- Burdick train, except in: two or three cases, when Mr. Burdick’s boosters stood on the observation platform and led the parting shout. CROWDS MEETING SPECIAL FULL OF ENTHUSIASM But the signifimnce of the trip did not lie chiefly in the greater numbers of people who greeted the Frazier train.: It was most noticeable that the audi- ences were made up of voters, mostly mature men. Automobiles and teams were tied up by the dozen at small stations showing that farmers had been willing to travel over muddy. roads to meet the great.

Farmers left their loads of wheat and hurried to the - railway. Carpenters and others left off . their building operations and came to- listen. Railroad men hovered near and listened attentively at several places. The interest of the towns was shown in the presence of bands at Beach, Man- dan, Jamestown and ‘Valley City. Only at: Valley City did. any band turn' out to meet the Burdick train, and this. was arranged for through L. R. Tmbshaw, a candidate opposing the League through his paper. business men agreed to close their banks and. stores while the Nonpartisan L?lague special was in town and they did so. Two Jamestown newspapers sent stenographers aboard the train who took: notes of the addresses delivered by Mr. Frazier and James. Manahan. People At Jamestown the ° condxtxons Some of these, and others who boarded the train for trips from station to station, commented upon the contrast in the way the Frazier and the Burdick trains were received by the people. It was said that the audiences in both cases were largely of Nonpar- tisan League people, and that this accounted for the lack of interest in the Williston special’s reception. ¥ .0.....0...0....00.......0..
