LAMOURE GIVES CARL KOSITZKY WARM WELCOME State Auditor Regarded in East- ern Part of State as Out- standing Statesman HIS CAREER IS REVIEWED Story Told Again of How He First Stumped Burleigh County on a Bicycle La Moure, N. D., June 7.~—The neg- ative side of the debate on the league. program had an “inning” coming in LaMoure. First, Mr. Stutsman of ‘Mandan spoke in opposition; he was followed by A. E. Bowen—“Townley’s shadow”—and after Bowen came J. A. Currle, fresh ‘from the N. P. league headquarters in St. Paul, both of whom spoke for the affirmative. Now comes Carl Kositzky, whose remark- able political career, blunt honesty and stout courage combine to make him one of the most interesting fig- ures in North Dakota. He discussed some of the new Jaws from the stand- point of an expert and others from the standpoint of morals and common sense, Mr, Kositzky’s career in this state 1s full of dramatic interest. An ob- scure and gawky country youth in Burleigh county, he went out single handed and fought the political ma- chine—and won out. In Bismarck they still tell the story of his first campaign, when he was candidate for county commissioner, The politicians thought him scarcely worth their no- tice. “That big chump will.never get anywhere,” they said, Carl made. his campaign on a bicycle, riding from house to house and telling in his sim- ple way the story of political, “‘boss- ism” with its long trail of evils. | Im, agine the surprise of the old gan when the votes were counted and it was determined that Carl had won out by a handsome majority! After that Carl was elected county treasurer; then he was appointed sec- retary of the state tax commission, where his work in exposing corpora- tion tax dodgers won statewide at- tention and favor, At the first state convention of the N.<P. league, held in Fargo in the spring of 1916, qa was endorsed for state auditor fwithout opposition. What,followed is familiar history. He continued ‘a fight for reform. ,retrench- méntiand:.a square deal for the com- mon people. As a member of the aud- By HAROLD E. BECHTOL, Paris, June 7.—The league of na- tions is going on a brief “honors tour” with two jumps, before settling down for its long run at Geneva. The first stop will be London. The second stop will’ -be Washington. Then to Geneva “for, good.” ‘The {dea behind this tour is to‘divvy up the honors. Paris has had the armistice meet- ing and the Peace Conference and the League of Nations covenant was drawn up in Paris, London gets the organization meet- ing of the league, which will begin this summer, as soon as the peace treaties are out of! the way. This may not seem like much, but Britain also got the first. secretary of the league, Sir Eric Drummond, whose name, as secretary, is the only name in the long document. After the organization is effected the first meeting will be held in Washington with: President Wilson presiding, just as Clemenceau pre- sided over the Paris conferences. That isn't officially announce: Nearly 11,000: 000 acres « ‘were planted and the condition ‘last given by the atate board of agriculture was 98 per cent—the best condition and the larg- est acreage ever recorded, Based on the government's fixed-price, Kansas wheat growers bid fair to realize nearly a half-billion dollars, Statisticians say the average man consumes a barrel of flour’a year, and that the Kansas wheat crop ‘will make enough flour to feed half the United States for a year, Millers estimate it takes four and a half bushels of Y si iting board he ‘carefully. scanned every account: that came: in, even goingis0 fat} qscto refuse “to pay the: ibillgi.af mowbers'of!'the supreme court which he ‘belieyedto’ be irregular.

These “he opposed, thereby winning the enmity of Town- leyandhis lieutenants, who heaped upon the state. auditor such choice spithets as “traltor, ” “fool,” “Har,” etc Nothing daunted by this tirade of abuse, Carl took the stump and hae been “carrying the truth to the peo- ple” with great force and sreat force and vigor.
