The Slope delegates in Bismarck Friday evening thoroughly satisfied with the platform and the ticket and determined to give the red forces a most determined battle. Never has this state had such a convention. No more determined men ever gathered at their own expense. without boss or slate, to formulate a program that will bring North Dakota into the list of states where constitu- tional and representative goverfimen: are guaranteed to the people. Certainly it is an extraordinary political convention where the pl: dates are selected. Seasoned _politi- cians recalled that in the past the rush for places on the ticket precluded all other matters. Ch Platform Not so at Minot. The platform was. listened to with intense interest and when finished, delegates and audience alike rose to their feet and cheered to ‘he echo and then broke into the na- ional anthem. In too many. conven- tions. the platform is patched together hurriedly during the closing hours and if read at all, received indifferently. Everyone is agreed that William Langer, the fighting attorney general of North Dakota who broke with Townley because he refused to follow hat dictator into all his socialistic schemes and vagaries will make an ideal candidate and that the only thing to make the ticket of the redemption sonvention a victory one is to get the requisite steam behind the campaign. It is expected within the next few days that the candidates will meet the sew Anti-Townley Republican state ) central committee.. Mr. Langer will select. the chairman of the executive committee which will have in charge the active details of the campaign. The fight is not going to be an easy one. Townley’s machine is well greased with state patronage and ap- propriations that can easily be divert- 2d to political purposes. Power of a Couse The Anti-Towhley ticket ‘will have behind, it the power’ of a righteous cause which will put more “pep” into he campaign than money can. It was with absolute unanimity that this ticket was selected. The Minot fight upon Langer evaporated and the chairman of the Ward county delega. tion was the first to magnanimously make the choice unanimous. There is y evidence that the northera tier ies will get behind the ticket enthusiasm. The presence ‘of ichn Steen insures. support in that section. Frank Streeter of Linton, son of an sld time newspaper man, is regarded as thé logical choice for Neutenant governor. He is an able campaigner and popular with the ex-service men, in his acceptance, he declared that he + would, give the best in him to the cause. Ex-Service Men Active Ex-service men took a large part in the convention. Capt. Henry of Val- ley City was secretary of the confer- er “Jack” Williams of Fargo is on the ticket as railroad commissioner and “Dad”. Dawson of Beach, head off the American Legion, sat as one of the delegates from Golden Valley. Addressing the convention during the early stages Mr. Dawson stirred up enthusiasm when he referred to the attitude of the ervice men on the anti-red flag bil!. He declared em- phatically that he was one of thou- sands of ex-set'vice men who lived in the,state and that the red flag would never wave here if those men could | prevent it. Hall Given Ovation In the nomination. of Secretary of State Hall, the convention endorsed Mr. Hall received an ovation when he took the platform and he made one of the best impression in the few remarks with which he accepted the nomination. “T have made mistakes political and +t boiling consumers are ad-| otherwise.” said Mr. Hall, “and I feel until | gratified at this endorsement from my ! friends.

Frazier Bars Reporter Governor Frazier decreed that the meeting should be private, barring & .ewspaper reporter who sought admis- sion, and keeping other interested par- ies waiting outside until 12:30 o'clock, when the meeting in the private of- fice broke up and it was announced -hat no conciusion had been reached. The Governor, who has been down in New York telling radicals how the business of North Dakota is conduct- 2d, apparently wanted the business conducted in secret. Commissioner Frayne Baker, of the highway commission, Commissioner O'Rourke of Morton county, and repre- sentatives of the bureau of public works and engineers of the highway commission were present. ‘the various combinations which were figured by the highway commis- sion. engineers included bids, which were low in price. but not otherwise satisfactory. It is possible that a compromise will be effected with some of the companies in making the com- vinations, Use Cost--Plus Basis Many of the bids submitted were on the cost, plus basis, which was used in making contracts by the gov- ernment during. the war, but, basic, maximum and minimum profits are specified, and bids are made on mate- rial to be used. ‘One company, Butler brothers, of St. Paul, submitted a flat proposal to build the bridge for cost, plus ten per cent profit.It has been announced, ‘before by the highway commission at such a bid will not be consider- ed.

The Midland Bridge company. of- fered to put the super-structure in place on a cost-plus basis, figuring | the cost of materials at $112,590, to which the company would add a basic margin of profit of $25,000, with a minimum of $17,000 and a maximum margin of 42,000. Bid on Materials The same company offered to build the approaches to the bridge proper on the same basis, figuring $147,803 for materials, with a basic margin of profit fixed at $30,000, with a mi- nimum of $21,000 and a maximum of $65,000, The McClintock and Marshall com- pany, of Pittsburgh, Pa., offered to furnish materials for the bridge, free on board cars at Bismarck, for $340,- 978. This would not include the cost of the building of the gridge of the approaches. Sims, Helmers and Schaffner, of St. Paul. submitted dids on a cost plus basis, estimating cost of materials for the approaches at $219,438, with a basic profit of $46,000, a minimum of $40,000 and a*maximum of $55,000. This company also submitted sec- tional bids of $385,840 for section A and $343.699 for section B, to’ which would be added profit, with a basic margin of $68,000 for the first bid and a basic margin of $65,000 for the second bid.

One citizen. however, apperently found the reading very dull. “Whist- ling “Eddie” Patterson, of the Bur- leigh county board of commissioners, glanced about the room, allowing his gaze to rest here and’ there on some busy man who was taking down the figures chirped a whistle then turn- ing to talk to a man by: his side, and again sitting in his chair and gazing into - space. “Too Deen for *Ed” “Whistling Eddie” occasioned’ not a wink of surprise as any bid was read, although exclamations were heard frequently from others in the room, The bids did not seem to.sur- prise him in the least, although they were, of course, sealed bids and had been seen by no one except the com- pany officials before they were open- ed. After the reading was concluded and the little meeting began to break up, “Whistling Eddie”. stood around, as if he wanted to have a private conversation with someone. Every- body was buzzing with excitement over the bids, and the rotund good coads “expert” after a few words to an otticial, made his way out of the room. ~ The piers of the great bridge will be 481 feet apart. The approaches will be over curved viaducts at either end of the bridge, so that the whole structure will resemble a figure “S.” The viaductcurve on the Bismarck side will be 144 feet in length and on the! Mandan side, 402 feet. , Tourists to Come When the bridge is completed thou- sands of tourists travelling over the Red Trail to Yellowstone National park and other points in the west, are expected to’ pass ‘through , Bis- marek. : The financing of the bridge is made possible by the federal government, the state of North Dakota, the coun-! ties of Burleigh and Morton and the city of ‘Bismarck. Another low combination, on:which contracters did not stick to the speci- fications, is as follows: . Main piers, $349,250, Midland Bridge company. Concrete approaches. $177.803, Mia- land Bridge Co.

Total cost. $1,820,026, Another combination figured out by engineers, in which bids’ ‘by the Foundation Company. Standish and Allan, and the American Bridge com- pany were grouped, amounted to $1,- 400,488.40. Another amounted to $1,- 187,499.50 and the next $1,192,871.90. The bids were ‘first read late yes- terday afternoon before the boards of county commissioners in Mandan and in Bismarck: They were formally con- sidered’ by the highway commission and boards of commissioners today. $137,590, Midland DELEGATES TO ANNUAL EPISCOPAL CONVOCATION AT FARGO ARE NAMED Delegates: from St. George's parish to the annual convocation of the Epis- copal church, which convenes at Fargo Sunday, are P.
