THE WEATHER Unsettled THE BISMAR \ | LAST EDITION THIRTY-NINTH YEAR BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA. SATURDAY, JUNE 5, 1920 CK TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS WOOD MANAGERS DISAGREE OVER THE DELEGATES Some Declare That National Committee Has Been Using “Steam Rollers” IRRITATIONS ONLY SLIGHT But Possibilities Are Present That Real Conflict Will Develop Chicago, June 5.—-Disagreement be- tween Ceneral Wood’s managers, over whether the republican national com- mittee has been “steam rolling” his delegates has furnished the impetus which was needed’ to wind up the pre- convention fight in a three ring finish. Although Senator Moses, one of the general managers, has denounced the decision of the committee which has seated Lowden delegates over Wood men as “steam roller” tactics, Gen. Wood himself has followed it up with a personal statement expressing .con- fidence in the fairness of Chairman Hays, and disclaiming any belief that the committeemen are permitting their personal preferences as to can- didates to enter into the decision which will determine the character of the delegation. There are several elements which contribute to the support of predic- tions that it is going to be a regular old time convention. !our years ago on pre-convention Saturday everything looked pretty tame. Charles Evans Hughes was as good as nominated, athough it was not generally known, and the atmosphere was placid. To- day there are a dozen little whirling eddies, each loaded with possibilities of developing into cyclonic propor- tions. May Pool Vote If che program being talked of is carried out the leaders of delegations from the larger states will have cou- ferences and will decide whether they will pool their vote, and returning to thier convention next morning cast them for the man about whom they have confidence of rallying enough} support to cast a majority. Whether he be a dark horse or one of the can- didates now in the field, no one as- sumes to say, because only the pre- liminary balloting can determine it. But with that as a starting point the seasoned politicians are quite» sure there will be little delay in getting to an agreenient. This is the last day of the national committee's de- liberations on contests: among state delegations and unless something is suddenly upset, and the committee will be free to take part in the con-| ferences of Sunday and Monday which, will ‘be instrumental in shaping des-| tinies of the convention. Hays Points to Record Chairman Hays is making no state- ment in reply to the steam roller charges but he points out to inquiries that this year the committee made its decision in open session to spread on its minutes the legal reasons in each case and that this record will be avail- able if the contests are to be dis cussed in the credentials committee or if a fight is to be carried to the floor of the convention. Charges of Senator Moses of New ‘Hampshire that the republican na tional committee had used “steam roller” methods in deciding contest: were denied ‘by several committee- men today. Holds Delegates to Instructions Chicago, June 5.—Senator Hiram Johnson announced today that he felt confident that every delegate who came from a state that had a prefer- ential vote in his favor would vote for him, not only on the first ballot, but until he releases them. “] have no fear any man will violate | his instructions given by the paonle of this state. I fully expect delegates a state that had a preferential vote in my favor to vote for me,” he Fi When his attention was called to} the situation in North Dakota where delegates reported to be favorable to Gen. Wood were selected, but where Johnson was the only candidate in the; primary, Sen. Johnson said he fully) expected to receive the North Dakota votes. ‘Asked whether he expects to hold all! the delegates until he releases them he answered decisively in the affirm- ative. POTATO PRICES BREAK RECORDS Chicago, June 5.—Potato prices to- day reached the highest point in the history of the country. This was re- ported by the federal bureau of mav- kets after new potatoes had advanced | $2.00 a hundredweight over yester- day’s figures and old potatoes have ad-) vanced 70 to 75 cents. ADMIRAL WINTERHALTE? DEAD Washington, June 5.—Rear-Admiral Winterhalter, member of the general board and former commander-in-chief of the Adriatic fleet, died suddenly at the naval hospital here today. Pneumonia was the cause of the admiral’s death. He had been ill only a few days. Admiral Weinhalter was born in Detroit sixty-four years ago and was appointed to the naval academy in 1887. After serving on a numbar of ships, he was transferred to the nav- al observatory and spent sometime abroad. The Year Book credits 50,065 trot- ters with records. of a mile in 2:30 or better and 26,670 pacers in the 2:25 list.

Daly against the county commission- ers and auditor of Grant county to test the Brinton “newspaper grab” bill has been dismissed by Judge W. C. Crawford, of the sixth judicial dis- trict, whose order over-ruling Daly's demurrer and dismissing the case was made public today. With this final act in court on the law which the North Dakota ‘Editorial association tested in the supreme court and which is alleged to have been enacted’ for. the. benefit. solely of Nonpartisan newspapers, an in- teresting question has been raised. Lawyer's Upinion The law is wholly inoperative, in the opinion of John F. Sullivan, of Mandan, attorney in case. “This order (Judge Crawford's), is made in accordance with the decision of the supreme court,” he said. “The action was started by Daly as against the county auditor and the county commissioners to compel them to pub- lish their official notices in the Grant County Leader. The defendants de- murred to the complaint on the ground that it did not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action, and for the reason that the so-called newspaper act was uncon- stitutional. Judge Crawford sustaia- ed the demurrer, holding that the act were unconstitutional. On ap- peal to the supreme court the deci- sion of the lower court was reversed and the action dismissed. Section &y of the constitution provides as fol- lows: Quotes Constitution ““The supreme court shall consist of five judges, a majority of whom shall be necessary to form a quorum or pronounce a decision, but one or more of said judges may adjourn the court from day to day or to a day certain; provided, however, that in ment or law of the state of North Dakota be declared unconstitutional (Continued on Page Three) CAMPAIGN ISSU INSULT TO STATE SERVICE MEN BS: FRAZIER’S % *| Tourists Happy no case shall any legislative enact-: FOR EACH MONTH Copenhagen, June 5.—Soviet Russia | is trying the experiment of issuing j colored money notes, @ different color | for each month, after which the note | is invalid.

Both know that they have a common interest in promoting good roads, the development cf the Slope country and encour- aging the closed social relations between the capital city, the towns and cities west of the river. Trip Real Success The slightly weary but none the less enthusiastic members of the mo- tor caravan which rolled into the ity at 8:45 p. m. last night, thirty ‘minutes ahead of the schedule, know that they had a good time and are confident that the trip was of real benefit. When the sirens of the long line {of automobiles announced their ar- rival in the city last night, people gathered at Broadway and Fourth streets, listened to the Elks band, always on the job, and congratulat- ed the boosters, : The concluding day of the trip was made in good time on good roads most of the way and without acci- dent of any kind. Compile the “Log” The log of the good ship by truck is being compiled today in store, of- ice and home. It is a narrative filled with storfes of good times, funny in- cidents, serious effort to accomplish the mission of the tour and adventure. On the return trip yesterday the tourists visited ten towns, after leav- ing Mott early in the morning. The crowd wasn’t very anxious to leave Mott, either, for the Mott people ap- parently were out to out-do the enter- tainment given at Killdeer the night before. The peope of Mott gave the boosters a dinner Thursday night and speeches followed. Senator Jacobson, of Het- tinger county, acted as toastmaster and P, R. Fields, W. P. D. Norton and Tom Hall respond- ed. A dance followed the banquet. Flasher Entertains Passing through Burt, Odessa, New Leipzig, Elgin, Heil and Leith, all thriving towns, the party arrived at Carson for lunch during the progress of county play day. Hundreds of peo- ple in the town gave the visitors a welcome hand-shake. Leaving Car- son the party visited Lark and when it reached Flasher about 5 p. m. the members were beginning to wonder just what they were going to find to eat when they got home. Ladies of Flasher must have known that a good appetite is one of the sure results of such a tour, for when the Bismarck men reached Flasher the ladies of the town spread out a lunch which satisfied the craving of the most healthy appetite. After ¥lasher was given a hearty farewell, the party made a bee-line for home, crossed the Missouri with the aid of Capt. Steve Welch, pilot of the ferry boat and drove into Main street. Strong for “the Boss” The bunch is strong for P. R. Fields, generalissimo of the tour. P. .’s word was law and no one hes- d to obey the mandate of “the ” or his lieutenants, Charley An- derson and Al Rosen, And P. R. is strong for the “gang,” for the only order necessary was a suggestion. Al Rosen has two new vocations as the result of the two booster tours —either the conductor of a side-show or an after-dinner speaker. Al's in- troduction of Sappho and his political oration at Killdeer gained for him notoriety and not a little fame. Charley Anderson established a record as a 100-word-a-minute talker just outside of Beulah when the cara- van was “held up” by cowboys armed with pistols and told to “surrender.” Charley not only talked the cowboys out of raiding the party but is rumor- er to have talked them out of cigars. Theré is one man with the party | who won't forget John Homan, who induced him to take hold of a couple of electric wires. The shock hasn't worn out yet. Like the Camera | Burt Finney classified as a real pho- | tographer along the route, as well as ert administer of first aid to red. In one town he got four little kiddies in a row to take their pictures. He made one snap-shot and j turned for another and found his four little subjects had grown to six. He | turned again and the party had grown |to eight. ‘Not having a panoramic camera he forced to disappoint some | earnest little publicity seekers. | Burt's car was named the “bank- ers’ special.” as he.piloted A.

They were right with the tour until Flasher was reached when they were held (Continued on Page Tnree) H. Stutsman,,
