Rep, ‘Blanchard read from the desk | the five qualifications of a Nonpart san leaguer, which included a corres pondence course in how to be a pub- ions to the “pay”-triotism of the lea gue plan of organization, and when, Blanchard led in the applaus, the lea- guers merrily joined in. | South Dakota Representative | | i} John Rott, introduced as the repres- entative from South Dakota, and fore- ibly escorted to the speaker's desk by | Olson, of Bowman, Leiderbach and | Detler, was called upon to explain his | vote on the question of national pro-| hibition, which a resolution introduc-| } ed by Blanchard declared “opposed tc} the natural inclinations and the oft- expressed personal opinions of the gentleman from South Dakota.” Staale Hendrickson was invited to open the special session of the spec- ial session with prayer, which he did not do, and Speaker pro-tem Bowman presided for a few brief moments, dur- ing which he explained the*“psycho- logical phsychology of the pshycolog- ical moment,” which he declared led the gentleman from South Dakota to momentarily depart from the straight | gnd narrow path which he had care- fully trodden so many years. ‘Home Guard “Saved.” The closing act of the special seés- sion was to adopt, without a dissent-| | ing vote in either house, the original} league- council of defense bill, impos- ing all power of appointing members of the board in the governor, making the governor chairman of the board, and providing that while home guard companies may “organize” they may neither drill nor arm “for the defense of their country or to insure the peace and protection of their community.” Frazier Pleased. While the roll was being called on this bill, President Townley and Gov- ernor Frazier sat on the side-lines, with broad and complacent smiles wreathing their features. The despis- ed state constitution which they re- viled and condemned just a short year! ago as obsolete had come to their rescue. A league constitutional law- yer had dug up a provision in our co: stitution militating against the exist- ance of independent military compan- ies, outside of the organized state mil- itia. “The governor has promised us he} will do the right thing,” said an inde- péndent member of the house in ex- plainmg his vote on the Dill. It is understood a pledge to legalize the guard by proclamation was exacted from Governor Frazier. No Power for Judges The senate bill provided that each district judge should nominate one! member of the council from his di: trict. The bill as finally passed de- crees that the governor sh: one member from each jud trict, and that the attorney general shall constitute the fateful thirteenth member, with the governor as chair- man, The bill gives the governor power to negotiate with labor organizations and labor leaders to supply the farms of the state with help; confers on every man the governor names to his board the powers of a sheriff, which may be exercised anywhere in the state, and gives them authority to call upon police officers anywhere within the state to enforce orders and rules and regulations which may be laid down by the council or the governor. | | TRIBUNE STORIES ON BETTER ROADS | ~ MUCH IN DEMAND Livingston, Mont.

In every community in the United States, January 28, a campaign will’ be started to provide high class en-' tertainment for the men in the can-, tonments and national guard camps.' The campaign will be for the sale of; what is called “smileage” books, little books: containing twenty and one, hundred coupons good for admission: of any soldier to the liberty theatres and liberty tents in the cantenments and national guard camps. The little; hooks are to be sent by the pur- ts direct to soldiers who are relatives or personal friends or to the camps for general distribution ; among soldiers who otherwise might not get a book of passes. Wealthy; individuals and business organiza-, tions, clubs and societies, it is under- stood, are planning to buy smileage books in quantities and send them to camp commanders for distribution as: they see fit. St. Paul has already ordered 5,000 smileage books and’ Minneapolis has placed an order for; 7,000. 4 from the unprecedented period of bliz- zard weather would be slow. Floods would make conditions far worse. Pre- arations have been made to fight high waters which are feared through- out the east and which have already developed in the mountains of Virgin- ia, West irginia and Kentucky with jous consequences -to cgal produc- tion and transportation.

C; Townley, president of the Nat- ional Nonpartisan League, an organ- ization which claims 150,000 members, and which is the outgrowth of the North Daktota Nonpartisan league, or- ganized by Townley with a handful of members on 1916, will again take the stand in bankruptcy court here this morning to answer to creditors whose claims,. aggregating approximately $79,000,-he asks the United States to set aside in order that he may again conduct his affairs as a solvent citi- zen. With Townley will appear a younger .brother who was associated with him in an unsuccessful flax ven- ture in the western part of the stato in 1912 which resulted in the most monumental, farming failure in the history of North Dakota. The Townleys—A, C. and C. S— filed their voluntary petition in bank- ruptey with Referee H, F. O’Hare early last fall. They scheduled assets of approximately $500 and liabilities aggregating $79,000. A hearing on this petition was begun in November and has been continued from time to time to the present date. The Townleys are represented by ‘William Lemke, state chairman of the Republican cen- tral committee and one of the five lea- gue managers, and the creditors, by Francis J. Murphy, of Minot, a for- mer assistant attorney general. A determined quest has been in progress since the initial hearing for assets other than those then revealed by Townley, which included only a féw personal belongings and two or three hundred dollars in a St. Paul bank. He testified that his only in- come is $200 a month as general man- ager of the Nonpartisan league and an- other $100 the month which he reé- ceives for directing the editorial pol- icy of the Courier-News and the Non- | Partisan Leader, daily and weekly | newspapers publisted in Fargo and | St. Paul respectively, in the interests | of the league, but, Townley testified, | under private ownership, in which he ‘has no interest. sulo bears the 13 Each Cap- | name Aa "BASKET BALL | CASTLETON HIGH : VS: BISMARCK HIGH At High School Gymnasium Saturday Evening FEBRUARY 2 is always best for coughs is that it peculiarly soothes. the tender membranes while its rich, creamy food rebuilds the tissues to avert bronchitis AT 8:30 O'CLOCK : ADMISSION - - Oc-25¢ and lung trouble. ‘ No alcohol just food. | | useepeepuemeenimmeemee cot & Bowne, Bloomfield, N.
