Bill Notes That Mees Wants His Toga “The farmers’ friend,” Senator Bill Martin, says that he never announces himself for any office until 30 days before election. That was the suwb- stance of the answer he slipped to @ reporter yesterday when asked if he would be a candidate for re-election to the state senate. When asked what he thought of the endorsement of the Nonpartisan league candidate, Fred W, Mees, he said it might be all right. He added that if he had sought the endorsement from that. source he would have rounded up all the partisan delegates in the 40 precincts in the county and had them on deck at the caucus Monday afternoon to see that he got the nomination. Bill says election is a long ways off and that there is plenty of time to get into the ring. He says if he goes after the toga he expects to win on the same policy that for years back has never failed to land him in the chambers of the North Dakota sen- ate. FEDERATED CLUBS MAKE BOOK DRIVE.
