BAER NOMINATED BISMARCK ASCP. CHOICE BY LEMKE BUNCH Crossfire Started by Shrewd Chair- man of Republican State Central Committee THREE ACTIONS BOUND TO FOLLOW NEW MOVE Two Motions to Show Cause Pend- ing, Third Fight Precipitated by “Convention” A new, startling, sensational and most unprecedented development in the First district congressional tie- up came this morning in telephonic advice from William Lemke, chair- man of the republican state central committee, to Secret of state Hall, to the effect that, at a confer- ence of the executive committee held in Fargo yesterday John M. Baer was nominated as the republican candi- date for. congress inthe First dis- trict; that a certificate of nomina- tion signed. by the executive commit- tee and: chairman of the republican state central:body would reach Bis- marck today, and that the state cen- tral committee ‘would, insist that Baer,. and not: Burtness, be given a place».in the republican column on the official ballot in the First. This denouement came fast on the heals .of service on the secretary of state of two orders to show cause, first; why the name of Olger B.\Burt- ness, nominated by the district re- publican convention in Grand Forks should not go on the ballot as the republican nominee; second, why the names of Vick, Plain and Cuthbert should not be withdrawn from the pallot as requested. Both orders were issued by the supreme court this morning, on petition of former JUST OUT (New 5 Color) WYOMING OIL MAP Shows correct location of every oil field in the state.

Spalding of Fargo, representing the state, ex rel Burtness, and were made returnable Tuesday afternoon. Harry A. Eron- son, assistant attorney general, will argue the case for Langer, as rep- resenting Secretary of State ‘Hall. This is in keeping with the policy of sidestepping the final issue adopted by Langer after he had involved the governor in the board of regents fight, in which, on the eve of battle, he had himself suddenly called sway LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN WAS INSPIRATIONAL and left the fight to subordinates. The “Convention.” 1 Availing himself of the authority given him as chairman of the repub- lican state central committee, Lemke quietly called a meeting of the execu- tive committee in Fargo yesterday. It is reported that four of those attend- ing were committee men who joined in signing the call for the district convention held in Grand Forks this week. Upon the assembling of the committee men, the usual league pro- gram was carried out. Stereotyped resolutions demanding that freedom of speech and of the press be guaranteed blatant agitators and containing just two meager lines pledging the sup- port of the “convention” to the nation in the great war in which it is en- gaged, were railroaded through. The remaining 13 of the 14 long | paragraphs which made up the reso- lutions were devoted to an eulogy of the league and its congressional can- didate, John M. Baer, “whose public activities prove that he is for govern ment of, for and by the people.” The dose was too bitter for R. J. Hughes of Wahpeton, who left in the midst of the farce. The others rez mained and are reported to have signed the resolutions. “Rump Convention.” After the meeting Lemke gave out an interview styling the Grand Forks meeting ‘a “rump convention” called by-unauthorized persons and asserting that he, as state chairman, was the only. person in the state authorized to call such conventions, and that inas- much as he had no hand in calling the first convention there was no official convention of First district republi- cans. “On the other hand,” said Lemke, “our executive committee meeting here today represents the au- thorized machinery of the party, and Mr. Baer, therefore, is the only regu- lar party candidate.” Unheard of Proceedings. “An unheard of proceeding,” Judge Spalding today characterized Lemke's personally conducted, hand picked con- vention. “We will, of, course, fight any effort to gain recognition for a candidate nominated in such a man- ner,” said Mr. Spalding.

Washington, June 23.—Final Liberty Loan tabulations show today that $3,035,226,850 was sub- scribed, neariy 52 per cent more than was required. Bonds were bought by more than four million people. About 3,960,000 subscrib- ed for amounts between $50 and $10,000, and to these purchasers bonds for the full amount ordered will be delivered. The 40,000 for larger bonds will receive allot- ments ranging from 50 per cent of the subscriptions, between 10,000 and $100,000, to 20 per cent of the larger subscriptions. The Northwest has subscribed for $16,495,850, more of the Lib- erty loan than it will actually get. The ‘Minneapolis reserve dis- trict will get $53,759,250, in the actual allotment of bonds. Although the district subscrib- ed for $70,255,100, as figures slightly revised show, there will be $16,495,850 subscribed that will not be filled. "The Liberty Loan campaign in Bur- leigh county was a real inspiration, safd J. L. Bell, county chairman, to- iday, in reviewing the effort which brought forth subscriptions $30,000 in excess of Burleigh’s original allot- ment of $63,000. The first liberty bond in Bismarck was purchased by Kenneth Treacy, son of Dr. R. -H. Treacy, and a leader among the capl- tal city boy scouts. Bright and early on the first day of the campaign, Mas- ter Treacy reported at his bank. He was there before the doors opened, and the first bit of business transact- ed that day was the sale of his Lib- erty bonds, for which he insisted upon paying wholly in cash. Foley Wires Order. Another early order came from Cal- ifornia, wired’ by James W. Foley, North Dakota’s poet laureate. Anoth- er man sent in a subscription for his daughter on’ her first month’s birth- day. ‘Many purchases were made for infants and minors, to whom the semi- annual clipping of Liberty bond cou- pons will prove a patriotic inspira- tion for many years to come. The Boy Scouts’ campaign’ was ‘és- pecially’ noteworthy, ‘Mr. Bell states. All of the Scouts did good work, and Warren Taylor and Kenneth Treacy made a remarkably fine showing.
