Leiderbach, chairman of the executive committee, which controls Nonpartisanism in North Dakota, de- clared today. 3 There has been much'discussion as to whether the conference would be called by the executive committee im- mediate.y or whether it would wait until Arthur C. Townley had com- pleted his sentence of 90 days at “The conference will take up du- plication and illegality in signing the recall election petitions and irregular- ities in the election for the purpose of placing them before. the people. We will also prepare to continue the fight. There will be no let-up, espe- cially as the people have, for the eighth time, voted for the industrial program.”, “We believe that by next June the people will learn that the new officers are fakes.

CONTESTS ON FOR GRID TEANS SATURBAY Three Games Stand Out as Features of Program of Nation-Wide Interest : By Henry L. Farrell (United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, Nov. 4.—Down to the point where games mean everytang, ine major 1ootvail teams start tne last Lara arive tomorrow. Three games stand out as the fea- ture o1 a program of nation-wide in- terest. In the East, attention will center on the tirst batt.e of the “Big Three’ be- tween Harvard and FPrinceton at Princeton. In the West, Onio State and Chicago will go through the elim- t |ination ot one of the contenders for the Western Conference champion- ship. And on the plains of West Point, Notre Dame and the Cadets will have their annual intersectional classic. Princeton, on the season’s showing ought to fall a victim to Harvard, but there must be considered the fighting spirit of the Tigers, that brought them out of a similar rut in 1919 when they tied Harvard and beat Yale after losing to Colgate and West Virginia. Ohio State and Chicago offer a good hand for a clairvoyant. Against Princeton, Chicago looked almost un- Leatable on the offense, although Cap- tain McGuire’s men did not make the most of their scoring opportunities. They did not face the offense also that Chio State is sure to precent.

S. Washington, Nov. 4.—The Anglo- Japanese alliance should be replaced by an understanding or agreement signed by the United States, Great Britain and Japan. This view was put forward today by Prince Toku~ guwa, president of the house of peers of Japan, and one of the chief Japan- ese delegates to the conference on limitation of armaments and Far Eastern questions. Prince Tokuguwa, if it had not been for the restoration of the pow- er to the throne in Japan about half a century ago, probably would be rul- ing shogun of his country. Asked whetner Japan would be will- ing to abrogate the Angio-japanese alnance, Prince Tokuguwa replied: “Don’t you think there can be an understanding between Japan, the United States and Great Britain. We three nations ought to shake hands and continue our course in a free sea. Personally, T am anxious that there be arrived at such an under- standing between the three nations.” “Such an understanding would go far towara securing the peace of iuc world. “Your country may not be able to join in an ailiance, but form does not matter so long as there can be a friendly understanding among the three powers.” So far as is known, this is the first public utterance of any leader of the Japan government in advocacy of a triparty agreement to replace the Ans glo-Japanese alliance.

The funds for the ban- quet were procured from the amount earned by the band itself at the Northern Minnesota fair, where it played each afternoon. The banquet was served in the as- Isociation rooms and Caterer Charles | Parker with his assistants were kept !more than busy from 6 to 7 o’clock | getting the boys filled up. The suc- icess which attended his efforts was amply proven by the verdict of the 'boys themselves. The whole story |is told by simply saying ‘“every boy | ‘had 2!l he could eat,” and that is say- ling,a lot for a bunch of eighty hun-! gry boys. | The banquet is an annual feature | {of the band and was looked forward to with a great amount of anticipa- | tion. | ST.
