Belated returns on Monday's presidential primary coming in slowly from the sparsely settled sections of the state added but few votes early today tg the totals already compiled from. approximatély twd-thirds of the precincts. These —| figures gave Senator Hiram Johnson a lead of 42,251 over Major General Leonard Wood ‘on the republican ticket and Herbert Hoover's advant- age on the democratic ticket was 4,- 466 over Governor Edward I.

It was generally conceded this morning that aside from the close race among democratic candidates it was unlikely that the present stand- ings of the candidates would: be al- tered owing, to the small vote yet to come in. All the cities in the lower Peninsular were practically complete Polo in Great Britain as well as in France, Belgium, and Spain will boom in 1920, it is predicted by enthusiasts. niet 76min Sd a. ithe infirm he met, “His fame spreail. in 1 | ills Xe Left—“Brother Isaiah.” Right — Mother bringing ‘crippled girl to the “heater.

April 7.—- Armed with a search warrant issued by State's At- torney L. H. Connolly, Under-Sherift Gabe Eckroth and Policeman August Herman early this morning raided the property of James Sanders in the Syn- dicate and located a full blown still. It was all there, the copper ket- of lead pipe (which they say is not healthy, copper be- ing the .proper thing) and there was a: bottle of home manufactured whiskey and a barrel of sour mash, or something) or other in the process of“evolution into whiskey. The officers had first made a visit to the place and didn't find anything suspicious, and left, but they oniy went back to get out a properly exe- cuted search warrant and Sanders and his pal were off guard. The still was located in the cellar. ~Assistant U. S. District Attorney S. L. 'Nuchols was notified and he took the matter up with District At- torney Hildreth and Sanders and Wohl, his parien, will likely be held to the U. S. courts for infraction of the federal prohibition law.

She is qualified’ in every way for the office to which she has been appointed and the action of the county board this week will meet with the general ap- | proval of the people of the county. Stiff Fight Waged The stiffest fight during the con- vention which was called to order. at 10 o'clock in the morning and adjourn- ed at 9 o'clock last night, centered around the endorsement of Rollin Welch for sheriff and Charles Fisher for clerk of court. (Both men have been endorsed by the county Nonpar- tisan league convention and the ‘con- vention finally voted to leave the of- fices open’ rather than endorse can- didates that had been nominated by the league who had failed to disown that endorsement, A committee was sent out‘ to re- quest Sheriff Welch and: Mr,:risher ko. come before the convention and oxplain their stand on Townleyism and the league, but this Welch, and Fisher declined to do. The delegates : tater” deciited-to~ leave’ these’ “offices unpledged and & committee consisting of Mr. Goddard, ‘P. G. Harrington , and’ L. ‘W). Sperry, was named to presonally call on these /two of- ficials, and ask if they. would sub- scribe to the platform of the jBurleigh County Anti-’ Townley club, | It was the wish of the convention that it Welch and Fisher will renounce the endorsement”of 'the league that the Burleigh County Anti-Townley club would endorse them as their candi- jates for the positions they now hold. Koffel Against Langer The endorsement of Langer for gov- ernor failed to receive a ‘unanimous vote by the action of Theodore Kot- ‘el, who cast three votes, represent- ing the Burleigh County Republican organization, against the endorse- ment. Gallagher, candidate for at- orney general, did, however, receive an unanimous vote, even Mr. Koffel ‘ailing to register an adverse ballot against this selection. It was agreed that the Burleigh county delegation to the state anti- Townley convention would support Langer and Gallagher for their respec- tive candidacies to the best of “their judgment and ability” although they were not instructed to stick to these candidates if conditions were unfa- vorable to their nomination. (Harrington ‘Named Chairman The convention elected P. G. Har- ringtoti as chairman and E. C. Poger- ty of Sterling as secretary. Mr. Har- rington handled a Yyery difficult task in a highly creditable manner and although the convention at times grew boisterous and somewhat smoth- ered in arguments and motions, Mr. Harrington ‘managed to steer the spirit of the delegates in full accord with the wishes of the convention, ‘The plan for the organization of the Burleigh ‘County Anti-Townley club consists of the directing head or general chairman, who is Mr. God- dard. ‘No other offices were filled, this matter being left to a committee headed by Mr. Goddard and composed of J. W. Burchi L. E. Heaton, Victor Anderson and H. C. Edgerton, each membet of the committee represent- ing a commisstoner’s district in the county. Organization of Ciub Besides the general chairman, there will be a general secretary, commit- tees of organization, finances, publi- city and speakers’ ‘bureau, of three members each. The executive com- mittee consists of the general chair- man, general secretary, chairmen of the four committees, and the chair- men from each of the thirteen dis- tricts in the county. The, county will ‘be divided into seven districts and the city into six. one for each ward. Each district chairman will appoint a chairman for each precinct while each precinct will have a committee of from three to five members named: by the pre- cinct chairman. Mr. Gallaher’s Speech After recounting the various details which led up to his removal from the office of state’s attorney of Golden Valley county by Governor Frazier and his subsequent re-instatement to that office by court order, Mr. Gal- lagher said: “The league leaders promised low- er taxes and economy of administra- tion.
