D., Jan. 2.—An opportu- candidate for governor, The attorney | general has never expressed himseli on this subject, but the discuss such on extent as it has been carrie: in independent newspapers. does not appear to have been obnoxious to him. Langer, however, would not run for governor, it is believed, could a stronz- er. man than he be found for the job. Such a wan has not yet appeared.

In the Red river valley they are insisting that the league cannot re-elect John M. Baer, a leaguer who has served a term and ‘a half. In the second district it seems probable that) the league will oppose George M. Young, representative from this territory for many years, and who was endorsed by the league in 1918.} Congressman J, H. Sinclair, the Jeaguer who defeated Pat Norton in| the Third district in-1918, is certain to} have opposition west of the river, and there are many who believe he will be defeated. Senator Gronna comes up fot ,reelection this year, There have deed. reports to the effect that league has parted compa’ na, sltho recently there } cations of a warm regard for Gronna and some of h .

The result is our schools are placed in the hands of socialists. The recent investigation at Bismarck dur- ing the present session proves this conclusively.

M’ADOO IS POPULAR The democrats are not showing a great amount of interest national politics, but such presidential talk as is heard seems to favor William G. McAdoo. - The league, because of Mc- Adoo's attitude toward the coal strik and his Stand for retention of the rail- ways. would he more likely to endorse the former directer general of rail ways than either Wood or Johnson. In South Dakota Frazier and LaFollette were the choice of the state con tion for heads of the national ticket. There have been rumors that the re- publican national committee is again flirting with the league. Some time ago Will Hays was said to have stated that William Lemke, chairman of the republican. state central committee, could not handle the republican cam- paign in this state, and that was take to mean that Hays would ignore the league. If stories of a ripening friendshin are to be believed, Lemke. undoubtedly will be the man behind <! Dakota has had in many years, and they have, by electing Miss Niel- son governor of North Dakota, chance to right the wrong and in- that .has been done.

There can be found no better material than Miss Nielson for this position.” PEMBINA MAN GETS SIXTY DAYS; TOTING LIQUOR OVER LINE Fargo, N, D.,- Jan, 2—Louis Bou- vette of Pembina, N.
