Plan New Park “A holding company was formed consisting of the five men named and ten other prominent business men was formed for the purpose of taking over the entire equipment of the old Bis- marck baseball club and assuming its obligations,” said Mr. Roberts. “The grounds have been placed in first class condition and the fences and grandstand repaired. The state board of administration has consented to the use of the park during the present season. Twenty per cent of all receipts for games of every description held on the grounds will go to the holding company, for the purpose of forming a sinking fund to obtain permanent grounds and placing the baseball club on a solid foundation.” Elder Coming Back The club officials have lines out for a mumber of excellent players, but are not ready to divulge the names of some of the men who will play here. “Dolly” Elder is on his way from Des Moines, Ia., to join the club, and “Franky” Frankenhoff, first baseman, is enroute from Missouri. “Tim” Phelan, catcher, who came to the city two weeks ago and was seen in action with the American Legion team, will be the club's regular catcher. Phelan is one of -the flashiest catchers seen in action here in many seasons. . Practically every member of the team will be men with college or pro: fessional baseball experience, insur- ing good ball. ‘The directors of the club are en- thusiastic over the support thus far’ received, but émplasize the need of every loyal baseball fan giving the team his fullest support. PRISON TEAM GETS _ AN EVEN BREAK The prison baseball team split even in a double-header played Sunday aft- ernoon on the prison grounds. The first game was won by Meno- ken, 8 to 2, Menoken made four runs in the second inning, but after that the prison team tightened up and the game was well played. In the second game, which was sev- en innings only, the prison team won, 6 to 0, from the business college team. Manager C. E. Orton, of the prison team, was well pleased with the crowd, which was larger than was anticipat- ed. Next Sunday the prison team will play McKenzie at the prison.. McKENZIE VICTOR _ OVER LEGION TEAM ‘McKenzie was victor over the Amer- ican Legion team in a game played Sunday afternoon at McKenzie. The score was 8 to 7, but the game was not as interesting as the score indi- cates, Neither team played up to their usual standard, many errors marring the game. Flow pitched the figst six innings for the legion team and Buchanan pitched the last three. A large num- ber of Bismarck people motored out to McKenzie to see the game. ¢ 7 a | BASEBALL | o—_——__—_——__-# National League New York 0; Brooklyn 8. Pittsburgh 3; Cincinnati 1, innings.)

Oklahoma, it is estimated, will need about ten thousand men from outside the state, and wages from harves: hands will range from $4 to $7 a da $10 a day. In only a few isolated communities, where labor is abundant, is any one offering less than $6 a day for any sort of labor, it is added. In most sections only able-bodied, English- speaking white are desired. Oklahoma offices of the free employment ser- vice have been established in Okla- homa City, Enid, Tulsa, Muskoge? and Ardmore. There will be no free or reduced railroad: fares. College students are warned they need not expect a summer outing in the harvest fields, but that if they are industrious and ‘husky” they will be welcome. Men coming in groups are urged to wire in advance to Claude ‘E. Connolly, federal director of the employment service at Okla- homa City. In Kansas it is estimated there will be nearly eight million acres of wheat to harvest, and the state employ- ment director has declared that dur. ing the height of the season employ- ment can be furnished to 50,000 men from outside the state. Hutchinson and Wichita will be the principal clearance and distributing points for Kansas harvest labor, and’ there are branches of the federal-state employ: ment service in both places, as we!l as in Kansas City Kan., Salina, Par- sons and Topeka. Seventy cents an hour is the maxi- mum harvest wage,in Kansas with no minimum fixed, This includes board and lodging. It is estimated that, start- ing in southern Kansas about June 20 the cutting will reach the northern border of the state July 1 to 5. In Nebraska it is expected that about three million acres of wheat will’ be harvested. A large amount of outside help is necessary. There will be two to three weeks work in Nebraska following the Kansas har- vest. The federal states that, employment _ bulletin beginning July 20 to 25 in South Dakota, the harvest will move northward, requiring many men from outside the state. A. L.

LEGISLATIVE FIGHT FIRST Anti-Townley workers in Burleigh county, with one of the most repre- sentative and highest class tickets ever put before the voters oi the coun- ty, are confident of victory in the pri- mary here on June 30. ‘Though the primary is but three weeks off, the county campaign is a quiet one.’ Anti-Townley leadars be- lieve that the resentment of people over the extravagant and mismanage- ment of the whole Frazier adminis- tration and the domination of the league by radical socialists will result in the overthrow of the league candi- dates in county as well as in the state. ‘The character of the, anti-Townley candidates in Burleigh county, which includes many of the best known citi- zens of the county, is another guaran- tee of success, - Import League Manager. ‘The league is organization is making a lot of noise, with Howard Elliott, im- ported to be county manager, as the state’s attorney.

MANDAN’S BRIGHT LIGHTS MAKE TOWN LOOK LIKE CITY ‘Mandan, June 7.—Mandan has for the past few nights presented the ap- pearance of a full grown metropolis. All the ornamental lights coming un- der the first contract let to M. S. Hyland a year ago were turned on, and citizen’ threw out their chests just a little farther as they contemplated the attractive appearance of Mandan. The corner lights are on a separate circuit from those in the center of the block and after ten o'clock the corner lights are the only ones kept on. In fact the light from the “corner lamps appear to be ample for ordin- ary use. ‘First street which has more lights to the block than any other street, shows up splendidly. With the com- pletion of the second contract cover- ing much of the East end, and the fur- ther extension which will be contract- ed for next month, there won’t be a dark corner in the city.

Anti-Townley leaders face a strong organization in nearly all of these counties, where the league organiza- tion is centered around a kept press and imported organizers. The anti- Townley campaign is just now swing- v&th Willian Langer, candidate for governor, in- vading the country. The trend of the primary in this section of the state undoubtedly will be decided by a vast number of silent voters. These voters, according to the firm belief of residents in these counties familiar with political con- ditions, will swing in the main to Langer and the Victory Ticket. The turning point for thousands ot voters is the decision of responsible farmers that the wn-Americanism rad- | icalism of Townley and his sociali: followers has. no place in the state of ‘North Dakota. “The farmers don't like this social- ism,” a resident of Stark county told a Tribune correspondent who traveled through several counties sounding out sentiment of the people, talking to anti-Townley leaders and Townleyites as well. “We have evidence of this every day,” he continued. “The O’Hare case has been opened anew, and. it is !like opening an old injury. The farmer who has struggled for years to acquire his home doesn't like to hear one of Townley's red flag ora- tors advocate revolution. He doesn’t like the single tax trend of the Tow: ley administration, and he believes the American government founded on ! the constitution.” A man in Dunn Center, a farm ten- ant, was approached with regard to | the political situation. | “Well, I don’t like this radical stuff” he said, and this was all he woul | answer, except that he had voted the! ‘Nonpartisan league ticket before. ing into full stride, In Mercer coun- ; has been conducted. the ty, said a resident of Beulah, ‘interest on school and other public; ; funds.

P CONVENTION AT CHICAGO 1860 Man in Iowa at That Time Walk- ed 150 Miles to Catch His Train | Chicago, June 7.— At the first Re- ; bublican national convention held in \ Chicago 60 yearg ago: An Iowa delegate walked 150 miles to get to a railroad to come to the convention. Special railroad rates were made and Chicago’s population probably doubled ‘in convention weck. Hotel rooms were $1:50 to $2.50 a day. Crowds were so great that billiards tables in the hotels were pressed into service as beds. The “Wigwam” in which the con- vention was held was probably about the size of the annex to the Coliseuin in which this year’s convention takes place. The Wigwam’s profuse decoration was largely furnished by the Republi- can women of Chicago. They, were invited to come “armed and equipped with those formidable weapons, needles, thimbles, scissors, etc., etc. When a speciai train pulled in with the Massachusetts and other , New England delegates, rockets were sent up and a cannon boomed to announce their arrival to waiting friends. The gallery in the convention hall was reserved for women and their escorts. Because of the great number of men unable to get in, one man w; reported trying to get into the gal- lery with an Indian squaw selling moccasins as his credentials but was {excluded on the ground that she was no lady. The two chief nominating speeches were made in less than 20 words. Abraham Lincoln was placed in nomination in 26 words. The making of the presidential no- mination was announced to the city by the firing of a cannon placed on the roof of the convention hall. | ‘Phat night cannon and rockets were fired, bonfires lighted, and multi- tudinous parades formed, their pay- ticipants carrying anything that would serve—even to rakes and fishing poles. The foregoing data was obtained from the library of the Chicago His- | torical society, which has various relics of the convention and the cam- | paign that followed.
