T. Dome, the man who likes to' tell: the farmer ‘how to farm. Here you see the ingenuity of Mr. Dome appliéd to the political field. By consulting the upper left-hand picture you will note that .fé{afty and: his: fellow politicians are: mot -driving the binders" and operating the old political threshing machine this year. You remem- r that earlier in-the season we depicted the break down of the Old.Gang separator. Crafty didn’t need it this year: There was nothing much for-him to thresh. - But'all the same he has his“men out‘in the fields following the binders and “gleaning” what stray heads of grain are left. :Below: “The Gleaners” is an illustration of the politicdl invention:thé farmers adopted -which worked so successfully this year, the Nonpartisan -League fence for keeping the grain thieves out of the vote field. .. It’s guaranteed to be hog-proof. 1It’s an ill wind that blows nobody good. To . ‘the upper right are the real beneficiaries of rust and blight. There may not be much milling wheat this year but there’s lots of “chicken feed.” “Below to the right is-M. T. Dome’s idea of the “‘greatest-political machine the state ever saw” in the act of harvesting the votés. The greatest [feature of this machine is its ownership.: “It’s niot driven by Crafty, the 0Old Gang political boss; but by the people of North Dakota. It'sa good .machine and it has a good driver. It'does the work. S ; ksl I e * 3 z Brief Summary of News Events - ~Sept. 5—Minnesota state fair opens at St._Paul with big attendance.
