SATURDAY, JULY 3, 1920 I B i | N LAST EDITION PRICE FIVE CENTS M’ADOO LEADS ON" ee | BALLOT MARKING OFFICIAL COUNT MAY UPSET DOPE IN THE PRIMARY Some League Candidates Fall Behind Governor in League Counties HALL IS RUNNING STRONG Kositzky Also Passes Langer in Some Counties Indicating Mixed Ticket As more complete and detailed re- turns of Wednesday's primary ‘were received and tabulated today it was indicated that a mixed ticket had been selected. Governor Fraziér’s majority will not be as large as had been claimed by the Nonpartisan league headquar- ters, it was indicated. . It is more than probable that Thom- as Hall has been nominated for sec- retary of state over J. I. Cahill, league candidate, and Carl Kositzky, inde- pendent Republican candidate for state auditor ;John Sten, candidate for state treasurer; W. H. Stutsman, candidate for’ railroad commissioner and Miss Nielson may have been named. Most of the league candidates, witi the exception of John Hagan, can- didate for commissioner of .agricul- ture and William Lemke, candidate for Attorney general, appeared to be running behind Frazier. i The Fargo Forum, a dispatch said today, claims the nomination of Con gressman Young by 2,300 and the probable election of Hall on the basis, that‘a group of counties which gave ‘Howard Wood 1,500 majority gave Hall 4,000. ee Outstanding features of ‘the situa- tion, as the result on the full ticket began coming in today were as fol- lows: The Associated Press compila- tion showed the vote for Governor in 1,870 precincts out of 2,064 as follows: Frazier, 51,528; Langer, 50,602, or a lead for Frazier of 926. The Nonpartisan league headquar- ters in Fargo; with returns in their office: from 1,724 precincts, ‘claim- ed Frazier to He’ leading“ by”3,241. Burtness has a lead of 2,926 “over -Congressman Baer in the First district, and his nomination is conceded. i Congressman George Youye’s friends believe he has won in the . Second district; although Nonpar- ‘tisan forces claim Pendray has won. m, Pat Norton has lost in the Third district to Congressman J. H. Sinclair. Although he made a remarkable race, running ahead of the ticket in many places, the strong league majority in the northwest counties could not be overcome. ‘Dr. Ladd, it appears, has been nominated over Gronna, although in some districts Gronna has run ahead of the ticket. The remarkable race of Tom Hall is shown by, returns from several counties. In Billings county Langer received 208 votes, Hall received 251 ard Kositzky received 213, while Fra- zier received 281, Cahill 224 and Poin- dexter 261. In Ramsey county Langer*received 1,612, Hall 1,712, while Frazier receiv- ed 1,073 and Cahill 918. In Mercer county, a strong league county, Frazier polled 777 votes, Lan- ger 307; Cahill 607 and Hall 445. In this county Kositzky received 351 votes as against 646 for Walker. In Wells county Langer received 941 and Hall 1,049, Kositzky, getting 948 and Steen 973, In this county Fra- zier received 1,315; Cahill 1,134; Wal- ker 1,025 and Poindexter 1,213. The defeat of the smelling commit: tee, the state sheriff law and the amendment to the absent voters’ act also is ‘indicated. In Adams county the vote on the smelling committee in favor of it was more than 150 less than Frazier’s vote and the state sher- iq bill lost in the county by 25 votes. In Morton county, while Frazier carried it, the state sheriff, the ab- sent voters and the smelling commit- tee referred measures were lost. In Billings county the state sheriff re- ferred measure lost by 21 votes, al- though Frazier carried the county, while the smelling committee carried only 34 votes, with Frazier carrying the county by over 70 votes. Bishop Bill Lemke and John Hagan, for comméssioner of agriculture, ran well up with Frazier, the league men evidently making a strong effort to put them over. . BEGIN UNION OF GOLD MINERS Deadwood, S. D., July 3.—The min- ign committee of the Deadwood Busi- ness club has started a movement to organize all of the gold mine opera- tors in the United States and Alaska. The new organization is intended es- pecially as a means of securing legis- lation desired by the gold miners. The committee has sent a circular letter to the miners urging their co- operation in forming the organiza- tion. MOVIES IN S. A. Rio de Janeiro, July 3.—North American moving pictures, which during the war period enjoyed a vir- tual monopoly in the Brazilian field. ; are now encountering competition of German-made films.

There is deen significance in the na- tional holiday this year. As a nation we have much to be thank- ful for and the day should be giv- en over to earnest thought, and praise for the glorious opportuni- ties America offers her citizens, ‘Everywhere there are evidenc- es that the nation is gradually re- turning to normal conditions and the processes of reconstruction are proceeding: The spirit of un- rest and uncertainty while still evident is not So apparent as a year ago. This Fourth of July then brings us all farther along toward stabilized. _ conditions. There is still much to be done be- fore reconstruction has been ac- complished, but there is also much to be thankful for, much to be hopeful for and much to spur us on to renewed effort in the struggle to.retain unsullied the best traditions of a great nation. The Tribune wishes its readers a glorious Fourth of July. ANTI-TOWNLEY TICKET HERE bo BY NONPARTISAN May Account for Heavy Vote by Langer in Late Returns and May Cause Contest LEAGUERS MAKE CHARGES/ Governor Appoints Bill Lemke to Investigate Reports of Ballot Abuse : (Special to The Tribune) Fargo, 'N. D, July 3.— Blanket stickers — that is, . stickers con- taining the enti: list of candi- dates for state office, for congressionai nomination, and for legislative non nations—were employed by, the Non- partisan league in Sheridan county. The blanket stickers, each of them contained in a single envelope, were passed out to the voters by league emissaries, and in Goodrich it has been established that they were pass- ed out in at least one polling place on election day. ’ The voter who used such, blanket petition has only to paste the entire sticker on the official ballot, cover. ing the names on the regular ballot. lt’ is presumed that this practice was employed by the league managers in numerous. other western countibs MEN DISCOVERED, st peared in court on-his third wedding SWEEPS COUNTY 3wanson, Nonpartisan Candi- date for Commissioner Second District, Only Has Lead of 10 McCURDY ‘BEATS ED.

GOPHER CROPS | LOOKING GOOD St. Paul, Minn. July 3.—Crops in Minnesota are reported in excellent condition, a .recent survey by Min- neapolis and St.-Paul newspapers de- claring the grain crop “the best in years.” In some sections small grain and potatoes have suffered from un- usually heavy rains, but the generally favorable condition offset these minor losses. The potato crop was especi- ally affected. GETS DEGREE AS GIFT Denver—A. W. Devore told the judge his wife left him on Christmas eve and never came back.

An official announcement made here last night declared the following con- cessions were asked: Nullification of all pertoleum legis. lation based upon Article 27 of the constitution, placing in effect the or- iginal regulations regarding oil opera- tions, cancellation of 75 permits which the government already has granted for drilling operations on national lands, which include costal and river bank territory. Representatives of the petroleum interests conferred with General Ja- cinto Trevino, secretary of industry, commerce and labor, Saturday night. The following statement was issued by this department: “During the second conference be- tween representatives of petroleum -|companies which have not complied with Carjanza government decrees and General Trevinto and other de- partmental chiefs, these representa- tives requested suspension of conces- sions in federal zones and nullifica- tion of those concessions already granted. They based their request upon the fact, although Section 6 of Article 27 of the constitution gives the executive the right to grant pe- troleum concessions, there still exists no organic law to develop this section of Article 27, They likewise said the Article 27 could not be applied be- eauite of the same lack of organic jaw. “Moreover it was asserted the na- {tion had no property rights in the fed- eral zone for this zone was created solely for the common good and to es- tablish free navigation, while petrol- eum concessions pervert the obec aimed at through the law declaring this zone federal property. They as- serted these’ concessions damage hold- ers of adjacent lands, since the con- cessions in the federal zone can ex- tract oil from deposits which the com- panies they represented now are de- veloping. These arguments were easily answered.” AVIATION UNIT Louisville, Ky.; July 3—Kentucky National Guard will have an aviation unit, composed of six officers, forty enlisted men and six airplanes if plans urged by Adjutant General De- ‘weese.

Off.-of -Attendance in Germany: Brings Action. by Lutheran Authorities Berlin, July 8.—So great is the fall- ing off in church membership here that the Berlin Synod of the German Lutheran Church has voted-to take drastie measures against persons who withdraw. Reports read at a recent meeting of the synod showed that while in 1915 there were only 25 de- fections, the number last year reach- ed 5,287. As many women as men withdrew, most of them being young, and the majority members of the Social-Democratic party. The synod resolved that all those withdrawing should be excluded from {the privileges of the church, their children to be denied baptism and to receive confirmation instruction only on certain conditions. To make these measures effective the synod voted to introduce cards to show that the hold- ers are bona fide church members. Escape from church taxation is said to be ‘the principal reason for the withdrawals. Every German citi- zen is assumed to be a member of the state church and is taxed for its up- keep. Formerly there were withdrawals owing to the difficulties placed in the way of those wishi: do so and also to the social discredit that accompanied the act. But under a new law all a person has to do is to appear before a designated official and state his desire to give up his church membership. Thereafter he is exempt from the payment of church taxes. AUTO RUNS AWAY FROM FARMER Hetland, S. D. July 3.—While pre- paring to return home after attending a show here a cattle buyer had an ex- perience with a runaway automobile. engine running while he went after his coat. He returned to find his auto “beating it” toward the owner’s home iat Arlington, and fracturing all the | traffic laws of the town and state. The wild car crashed through two fences and then jumped into a lake. Two- boys and a team of horses were mobil- ized to tow the car to dry land.

They do not give me much time tobe a suffrage worker. “But I believe women should be allowed to vote, and I am sure there will he neace in Mexico when they get the ballot. 9T! BALLOT DETERMINED EFFORT MADE TO PUT ACROSS FORMER CABINET MEMBER MEETS WITH STIFF OPPOSITION Cox Gains on First Ballot Taken Today and Palmer Loses Eleven Votes—North Dakota Gives Majority of Votes to McAdoo— Bryan Loses in Dramatic Fight for Prohibition and League of Nations Planks in Night Session—First Two Ballots Last Night Undecisive Auditorium, San Francisco, July 3.—Nine unsuccessful bal- ilots had been taken in the Democratic convention here late this afternoon in an, effort to nominate a candidate for president. William Gibbs McAdoo, former secretary of the treasury, and President Wilson’s son-in-law, maintained the lead throughout the balloting, though his nomination had been prevented up to this time by a determined invisible group . which combined against him. The candidacy of Governor James E. Cox, of Ohio, received a boost when the New York delegation, the first state delegation to break away from a favorite son, took Governor’s Smith’s 90 votes from him, gave 68 to Cox, 16 to McAdoo and scattered the rest. As the balloting proceeded late today there were talks of a dark horse. y [PRISONES IN The sixth ballot was as follows: McAdoo 368%; Cox 195; Palmer 265; Cummings 20; Owens 36; Edwards 30; Davis 29; Glass 27; Marshall 13..Col- by 1; Smith 98.

TRAIN Jumps Out of Window While Train is Moving at Good Rate of Speed A prisoner being brought to Bis- marck to the state penitentiary made a daring escape near Medina last night, according to word received here today. The prisoner, it is said, was in cus- tody of a sheriff. The two were sit- tign ina seat, the prisoner not being handcuffed: The prisoner asked the man across the aisle if he had something which be could read, and the traveling man addressed handed him a paper and then reached in his grip for a maga- zine. As he leaned down the prisoner jumped out of a nopen window feet first. The train was going 20-miles an hour, was stopped, but a search failed to locate the fleeing prisoner. |Allen’s Legal “Joy” Ride Against Tribune Editors Cost About $400 E. S. Allen, states attorney for Bur: leigh county, has expended in the | neighborhood of $400 of the taxpayer's money in the criminal libel action brought against George D. ‘Mann, pub- lisher of The Tribune. Actual costs of record against case now amount to $286.35. This does not include judge’s and court reporter's expense or e3 pense of delays necessary in prepar- ing for the case upon short notice of trial given by Mr. Allen to de- fendant. Added to the $286.35 is also ex- penses of Judge Crum of Oliver coun- ty, who-acted as special prosecuting attorney, whose fee either Allen or ; the county must pay. The reader has @ guess as to who pays the freight for the legal “joy” ride. | It is jist possible that Mr. Allen | may issue a statement as to how these expenses will be met. In this action the defendant was ably represented by C. L. Young of ‘Newton, Dullam & Young of Bis- marck and John Sullivan of Sullivan & Sulivan of Mandan, HARDING MOTORS TO OHIO HOME Washington, July 3.—Warren G. Harding. the Republican presidential candidate, is going by automobile to Marion, 0., where on Monday he will lattend the home-coming celebration jin his honor, Accompanied by his wife he left Washington today. |PEACE IN MEXICO WHEN WOMEN CAN VOTE, SAYS HUERTA’S WIFE ! “More than that, I believe that women are ‘better fitted to ‘rule than men are. “Women rule the home and that is one government—one insitution—that has survived all time. “Women do rule there, too, even ‘though men sometimes think other- wise. No More Trouble After That “Some day Mexcian women will ap- ply that same power of theirs to the jnation. Then we will have no more yevolutions—no more trouble.” She smiled. “But why should I talk so, I know nothing of politics— Adios!” Senorita Julia Carranza, daughter of the assassinated President Carran- ‘za and a refugee in San Antonio, hap- pened to be at the railway sta when Senora Huerta left. Their eyes met as they passed but there was no recognition; neither woman knew who the other was. 267, New Jersey followed New York in breaking away from a favorite son, her votes going to Cox. The Cox sup- porters created a great demonstra- tion. The seventh ballot showed Cox gained 100% votes, McAdoo 15% and Palmer 2. This put Cox in second place for the first time. Cox took the lead on the eighth ballot, but’ held it only a short time, as Texas flopped 40 votes for McAdoo. The shifting show- od Palmer losing and McAdoo and Cox gaining. Little progress was made on the carly ballots for the nomination to- day. The fact that a two-thirds vote is necessary in a Democratic con- vention, while a majority vote only is required in the Republican national convention, makes. a ‘big difference. ‘The number necessary to nominate is. 129,.1-2., On. the first. ballot to~ day, the third of the convention, the position of the three leaders was un- officially announced as follows: Mc- Adoo 323 1-2, Cox 177, Palmer 272 1-2. In this voting McAdoo made a gain of 34 1-2, Cox 18 and Palmer lost 11 orth Carolina broke from Senator Simmons and gave her votes to Mc- Adoo, but this was expected and did not precipitate a landslide. North Dakota’s votes were distri?- uted in the balloting, On the fourth ballot she gave her 10 votes as fol- lows: Cox 2, Palmer 2, McAdoo 6, On the sixth ballot she gave 7 to McAdoo, he taking from Palmer. The North Dakota delegates also. stood by the administration last night against Bryan's ecorts to amendment the platform. The fourth ballot taken resulted as follows: McAdoo 355, Cox 178, Pal- mer 254, Gerard 2, Cummings 24, Owens 32, Hitchcock 5, Meredith 28, Smith 96, Edwards 31, Davis 31, Mar- shall 34, Clark 8, Bryan 1, Glass 22. + McAdoo and Cox made all the gaihs up to the fifth ballot. The official standing on the fifth ballot was as follows: McAdoo 357, Cox 161, Pal- mer 244, Cummings 21, Owens 34, Hitchcock 5, Meredith 27, Smith 95, Kdwards 31, Davis 29, Glass 7, Mar- shall 29, Clark 9, Colby 2. There was little progress, apparent- ly, towarfd nomination on the sixth ballot. The leaders unofficially stood McAdoo 368 1-2, Palmer 255 1-2, Cox ). MicAdoo gained 11 1-2. Palmer 21 1-2, Cox 14. On the seventh ballot New York broke to Cox. McAdoo in the Air Just as Harding’s name filled the air as the republican nominee three weeks ago this morning on the final day of the Republican convention, so McAdoo appeared to be in the asend- ancy when the delegates assembled today, with this difference, that the Ohio candidate had been agreed upon by the elements in control of the sit- uation in Chicago, while the New York man’s supporters here still had to fight a stubborn opposition. Friends of Attorney General Palmer and supporters of Gov. Cox took into careful account the strength of Mc- Adoo but expressed no fear that he could win the nomination in the face of the strong opposition. The chiefs of the McAdoo, Palmer and Cox forces confered constantly throughout the night and during: the early morning almost up to the hour of the meeting of the convention, At :30 o'clock the hour of reconvening the convention hall reflected the sleepless night of the leaders and delegates for all were slow in arriv- ing. Despite the fact that it was the last day if plans did not miscarry and everyone was trying to speed up, ut it was a slow start. The band and organ filled in durl ing the wait and the favorite air seem- ed to be, “I’m Forever Blowing Bub- bles.” Everyone of the enthusiasts seemed to feel that the air was par- ticularly appropriate for the other fe!- low. There certainly was a crop of bubbles being blown in the conven- tion for somebody. At 9:45 o’clock this morning the convention was called to order again and Chairman Robinson ordered the call if the states to be resume for nominations. The Big Three McAdoo, Palmer and Cox were the Jeaders in the two ballots taken last (Continued on Page Three)
