BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA FRIDAY, NOV. 15, 1918. ~ LAST EDITION PRICE FIVE CENTS ONLY TWO OF SEVEN LEAGUE PLANKS CARRY Burleigh County Rejects All of More Radical Proposals of Townley | FINAL M’CURDY VOTE IN Official Returns Show State’s Attorney Defeated for Re-election Of the séven league proposals which may be considered as representative of the Townley program, Burleigh county in last week's election approved but two constitutional amendments and re- Jected five, according to the offical returns as canvassed Wednesday by the Burleigh county commission. Coun- ty Auditor Flaherty completed: his of- ficial tabulation today. - The total number of male voters in last week's election was 2,584, or more than the number recording a choice for the governorship. The necessary majority of all the votes cast would be 1,298. The only amendments receiving this number or more was that on the Initiative and referendum, 1,307 ayes and 970 nays, and the Hail insurance proposal, 1,315 to 970. The amendments which fell short of this required majority and the vote on them were as follows: Amending emergency clause: 1,281; no, 948. Constitutional 1,256 ; no, 1,026. Single tax ainendment: Yes, amendments: _ Yes, Yes, 1,244; no, 1,050, _ Remoyal of debt limit: Yes, 1,219; no, 1,020. Public ownership: Yes, 1,260; no, 996. The three amendments on the initia- tive and referendum reduce the num- ber of signatures required on petitions and are designed to make the present. initiative amendment workable. The effect of the league amendment would he to give amy small clique of yoters; power to suspend any legislation or to initiate any measure. The hail tax is not.a league proposition, but had been before the legistature before the league was organized, and the approval of this proposed amendment cannot be considéred a league victory. Final figures on state and county of- ficers are as follows: Young; 1,463; Torson, 788. Frazier, 1,429; Doyle, 1,001. 1,271; Kell, 1,226; Prater, #’;, Hellstrom, 1,023; Moynler, 1,042; Th¢mpson, 1,064. Welch, 3,518} TMiompsony 944° 0% Flaherty, 1,849; ‘unopposed.

SIX BILLIONS IN NEW TAX BUDGET Washington, Nov. 15.——The revis- ed revenue program.of the treasury department providing |for a bill yield- ing six billion in taxes and not less than four billion in 1920 ottlined by Secretary McAdoo stame..before the senate. finance committee today ‘for consideration. Expenditures of. the government during the present fiscal year were estimated at eighteen bil- « lion, compared with estimates of 24 billions made before any’ indications of peace. Reversing his former attitude, Mr. McAdoo advocated , framing of the revenue bill to provide for tax, pay- ments in four instalments, saying this would give great additional relief to taxpayers during the reconstruction period, = well as give the govern- ment a steadier’ flow of revenue. FORD MAY -CONEST SEAT Washington, D. C.,' Nov. 15.—Gon- tests of the election of two republi- can ‘senators, Truman H. Newberry of Michigan and George 3%.

Nov. 15—Citizens of the United States were called on by Secretary Houston today to con- tribute to the United War Work cam- paign for the continuing of the work of the seven war organizations. “The cause is great, Said Secro- tary Houston. '““Byery house that flies a service flag will have a special interest in the success of ‘this cam- paign.” COL. LITTLE TOOK IN TWO: BIG JUBILEES . Celebration of Premature Peace j Report as Great Event as Real Thing Col. C. B. Little, who returned _yes- terday from a journey to New York city, whither he went to attend the Dartmouth alumni council, .of which he is president, had the: pleasure of @4| witnessing two Vivtory celebrations in the metropolis. The celebration of the premature report which tame, out last. Thursday was. as much of an event in every respect as was Gotham’'s Jubilee over the actual signing of the armistice Monday. Even after a de- nial “of the rumor was recelved, the celebration continued, the crowds being satisfied that the end of the war was at hand, even if it had not been offi- clally proclaimed. i From the Battery a8 far up as 100th street the’ streets were crowded with a mobing, cheering, laughing mass of people, ys Col Little. The air from the big buildings in Wall street, | thousands of yards of ticker thpe w added, From the hundreds of craft in the harbor came a constant blare of whistles and rens, creating pand {monium. Every bell in the city kept ringing constantly. | Throughout the day and late into the! night. the throng continued to slowly | parade the streets. There was nothing to do for’ one eaught iu the cu at but to go with it. There was. no pos: bility of breasting it, and one was fortunite in escaping from the press when a quieter street, was reached. Through out the long hours of celebration the crowd was good natured, neighborly and_sociable. ~ BAST GOING REPUBLICAN. The strong republican vigtory in the feast was generally expected, repor |Col. Little. his was especially truce after~President Wilsoh’s partisan ap- peal for a democratic congress, which brought into the republican ranks many democratic votes, in addition to. Cetheniting the solid: strength Of the re- |publicans.. Wherever socialism reared its head it was swatted. This was par- i ticularly true in’the east side of New {York® city, the stamping ground of {Morris Hilquit and others of his clan, where the red flag showed a remark- able loss in popularity. j Conditions are too chaotic in the east, on theaydawn of a new world peace, to pennit a forecast as to the ‘économie*ediiditions which recdnstruc- ‘tion will bring, but Col. Little found confidence and optimism, and a belief that sanity and conservatism will pre- vail in! working out the nation’s prob- lems, AMENDMENTS 10 BAD BY 4,000N ‘THIRD COUNTIE Count in Seventeen Out of 54 Shows Voters Lagging In Approval Amendment returns from Williams and Grand Forks counties in Secretary of State Hall's kemi-official tabulation yesterday raised the vote on the debt Hlimit amtendment to 15,015, and on the ‘amendment providing a new method of amending the constitution to 15,152. Neither of these has a majority, the total nuniber of votes cast for gover- being $2,011, while Walsh and Cass counties, the only two which ‘have re- ported the total of all votes ¢ would indicate that the actual. aggregate of the ballots will exceed the vote on the governorship by at least two per cent. The two amendments on which re- turns have been tabulated received a slightly smaller vote than their eight companions in the list of ten proposals submitted by the league. These two amendments are now more than 1,000 short of the required majority in 17 ‘out of the 53 counties, and reports which are yet to come in are not ex- {pected to greatly change the ratio. In |no county have the amendments kept pace with the league vote on governor. 'LIGHTLESS LID IS | OFF FOR CAMPAIGN {\ The lightless lid has teen off for the United War Work campaign. which began Monday. U.S. Fuel Ad- | ministrator Garfield wired Capt. I. P. Baker, federal administrator for North Dakota, on Tuesday directing that the United War Work campaign be releas- ed from all lighting restrictions until Noyember 18 at midnight, providing the light used is not generated by do- niestic sizes of anthracite coal.
