Ss (Established 1873) WANT A SOFT PLACE TO FALL ON Now the express companies want the govern- ment to assume control of their businesses and guarantee them profits based upon their earnings of the last three years. j Since the government took over the railroads, representatives of the express companies have conferred repeatedly with railroad administration officials, urging that the government take over their interests. ; The express companies’ earnings dropped far down within the last year. Hence, the desire for government control—and government profits. It must not be forgotten that these same ex- press companies bitterly fought the government’s own “express company”—the parcel post—for years before it came into existence and ever since. Now that parcel post is an unqualified success, the express companies beg to come into the govern- ment fold. Diamonds have gone up 75 per cent since the said. The cow was Cynthia XIII.

Even if Townley aad not yielded, there were enough cague delegates in the Fargo convn- tion to give Hall th nomination, whether or no. The same thing is to a large extent true in the case of Karl Kositzky. The state auditor has been almost as in- | dependent as ‘Hall. He went so far, in |fact, that it became necessary for Mr. Townley to speak very sharply to ‘him when the Big Boss was here for |the special session, and the Chain ore conference. Kositzky has been’ a better leaguer since that date, but he has continued to step now. and then on the tender toes of William janger, and the said Mr. ‘Langer re- gards Kositzky’s endorsement. as.al- most as bitter a pill as the’ endorse- ment of Hall. Eoth of these endorse- |ments were mighty good politics for | the league. To have refused either would have created a division in the ranks which might have. threatened the success of the whole tickét. Reprimanding Pat, Opposition to Pat Norton, repre- | sentative in congress from the Third congressional district, dates back to the campaign two years ago, when Pat was a strong supporter of Usher L. Burdick, candidate atthe primaries for the Republican nomination for gov- ernor. Pat even went further and op- posed, the Imperial William Langer, and Langer has never been-particular- | oility that Hall would be elected as| s il of Norton by the league, but it has bi an open secret that it would not displease Langer if Norton were drop- ped by the wayside. J. H. Sinclair of Kenmare, favored | by league magnates as an opponent to} orton, is somewhat of a political monenity. .He served in the 15th as-; sembly as a representative from the} Second district, comprising part of; Ward county, and if, he distinguished himself at all it was by his regular | y. He initiated no particularly im- tant legislation and did not stad) out from the herd in any essential de} tail. i There are many who are inclined to believe that the league’s opposition to. Norton is a tactical error, and that Norton will go ahead and win re-elec- tion in spite of the league, at the same time cutting in on the Nonparty strength west of the river as regards other offices. The Third congressional district is the league’s weakest point in North Dakota. In. certain sections the league is very strong, but taking the district as a whole it is about a fifty- fifty proposition. ‘There are entire legislative districts in this congres- sional division where the league tick- et met complete defeat two years ago, and where little if any gains may be expected this year. There is a very good possibility that the league may lose some strength in territory where it had a clean sweep two years ago. Norton is popular with the farmer vote generally, irrespective of league affiliation, and Townley, in seeking to chastise the congressman from the Third, has assumed a man-sized con- tract. Johnson Foredoomed. M. P. Johnson was toredoomed. The (beginning of the end so far as the rail- way commissioner from Tolley is con- cerned came toward ithe close of the, legislative session a year ago, when Townley and the then president of the Equity had it out, and Johnson declined to bow at the Townley Johnson, who had ‘man of the rail- way commission, was sidetracked for S. J. Aandahl of Litchville, and there began a long war which resulted in| Johnson’s being deposed by ‘the State weeks ago, and whose culmination; came in the Fargo convention, when \. F. Dupuis of Temple, father of the league’s much discussed distance tar- iff railway bill, which went to sleep in the senate, was endorsed for John- son’s place on the commission. | Aandahl, who has been a fairly. good leaguer, was reendorsed by the ‘Nonpartyites, but C. W. Bleick of El- gin, the third member of the board, was left on tender-hooks. Much of the dissatisfaction with the board re- sults from Attorney General Lenger’s inability to run the commission as a side issue to the attorney general's office. Mr. Langer has claimed credit for a majority of the things accom- plished by the commission during the last year, and the members of the ‘board have rather resented this steal- ing of their thunder. It was a foregone conclusion that Governor Frazier, Commissioner of ‘Agriculture and Labor Hagan and Commissioner of Insurance Olsness would be endorsed for reelection. Ha- gan and Olsness have rendered a good account of their stewardship, and lit- tle opposition to them is anticipated. There was some suggestion a few weeks ago that Olsness would not seek reelection because of his health. The commissioner may have changed his mind or he may have accepted tho endorsement as a vindication of his ‘administration, with the thought of; ly zealous’ about Pat's reelection, in spite: of ‘the. fact. thatthe: popular, d Irishman -withdrawing later in favor of saupets Effuity Society at its meeting a few/ their farm home. SIX-CORNERED COUNTY SEAT BATTLE DUE Half-Dozen Grant County Towns Would Wrest Capital From Carson Grant county is to have a six-corner- ed fight. for the county seat, despite the fact that after a long legal bat- tle the present board. of county com- missioners, who were appointed by | Governor Hanna late in the fall of 1916, have won the legal right to pay for the court house erected with coun- ty funds at Carson. Brisbane; Elgin, Carson, New Leipzig, Heil and Leith will appear on the primary ballots in June as county. seat seekers, it was reported by B. A. Lane, a well known Brisbane ‘business man, and M. 4i. Hayden, cashier of the First’ State bank ,of brisbane, who were in th city Tuesday. These same towns were represented ‘by large delegations at the meeting held in the senate chamber in the fall of 1916 to advise with Governor Han- na as to the appointment of the first board of commissioners for the new county, which ct the polls in Novem- ber had won partition from Morton county. It was generally conceded that the town which got the county commissioners also got the county seat, and the board named by Govern- or Hanna was one favorable to the claims of Carson, which has served something more than a year as the capital of Grant county. Carson and Heil are located on the Northern Pacific, Elgin and New Leip zig on both the Northern Pacific and the Milwaukee line. ‘Each town claims certain superiorities. which should ea- title it to the county seat, and a lively battle for this honor probably will overshadow all political considerations during ‘the primary.
