Sinclair of the third North Dakota district. Congressman Sinclair, who took office on March 4, 1919, was born at St. Marys, Ontario, on October 9, 1871. Twelve years later-his parents moved to Griggs county, N. D., to take up a homestead, and Mr. Sinclair-has been a resi- dent of the state since that time. hard pioneer days. The family had the usual experiences of the In 1895 Congressman Sinclair graduated from the Mayville normal school in the same class with Lynn J. Frazier, now governor of North Dakota for the second term, and like so many of our public men spent several years at school teaching. He was register of deeds in Griggs county for six years. Following that he moved to Ward county, near Kenmare, where he has since lived, to engage in large-scale farming. Ward county sent him to the state legislature in 1914 and again in 1916. As an actual farmer he took a prominent part in the great fight for state- owned elevators which preceded the birth of the Nonpartisan league, ahd as a member of the committee which had the famous elevator bill in charge he helped get it out to the house by a vote of 6 to 6. The house turned it down and, as is well known, the farmers who came down to Bismarck to see-what was being done were grossly insulted by the politicians. Then came the League, which turned the chamber of commerece politicians out. Congressman Sinclair has a firm grasp of the farmers’ problems from his own experience and he is well informed on the general problems of the people. He is of the quiet kind who knows what he is after and can not be fooled by political gab. There should be a great many more in Washington like him to speak and vote for the common people.

News. g | HILE looking through the Nashua Independent of December 26, 1918, for news, without finding any, I spied on the front ~ page the following auc- tion notice which speaks for itself: “Hear ye, hear, everybody is invited to a big clearance sale of German junk which is to be offered to the lowest - bidder at Larimore, N. D., on July 4, 1919. The posters are now being dis- tributed. The bill reads as follows: “PUBLIC SALE “(Second Edition) “A big clearance sale will take place in front of the Buckey restaurant, Larimore, N.

THE BACK FIRE ‘The people-of the West long ago learned to use fire that they could con- “trol to fight fire that was beyond their control. Now they are learning to or- ganize and use industrial nonpartisan- ism - to meet: the mnonparticanism of privilege. The independent voter has long been ~a thorn in the side of those who held partisan organizations as personal as- sets. Industrial nonpartisanism is the organization of the independent voters as an asset of industry. The truly independent voter is mot independent, however, from what he reads in the lines of the kept press, but from his ability to read between the lines.—A. CORNELL, in Kindly- Light. UTOPIANISM The special interest crowd are al- ways accusing the farmers and work:- ers of aiming at a utopian or ideal- istic state of affairs when they organ- ize for better conditions. It wasn’t so long ago that this same crowd was demanding that we fight to the last dollar and last drop of blood for a world millennium by military means. Their whole war talk was utopian in the most extreme sense; whereas: the farmers and workers have not planned more than a few sensible steps ahead “at a time. g forMeAgainNextYear”|| That’s always the parting call asthe Red RiverSpecial Thresh- erman leaves hLis customer's farm. ‘“‘Iwant you to come back next year.
