¢ i f } ’ te a f , “y THE WEATHER Generally Fair \ THIRTY-NINTH YEAR PRICE | FIVE CENTS HARRINGTON IS OUT FOR STATE LEGION OFFICE Endorsed by Local Post; Jack Williams Running for Re- election DELEGATION GOES TODAY Dawson Not Up for Re-election; Jamestown Wants Next Convention The Bismarck delegation to the state convention of the American Le- gion left today, with the intention of electing P. G. Harrington, adjutant, of the local post, state adjutant. The Loyd Spetz post of the Legion here was the first post organized in the state.’ Mr. Harrington has been active and — untiring in organization work within the Legion since its ori- gin. His work in the local post is well known here. In addition to strictly Legion work he has spent a good deal of time and energy in making addresses on var' ous occasions. This work has brought him in contact with many people of the state. i Endorsed by Post. Mr. Harrington has the unanimous endorsement of the local post and aj} determined effort will be made to elect him as adjutant for the state. The headquarters of the Legion for the state moves to whatever city the adjutant happens to reside in. At present Fargo is the state center, for Jack Williams, adjutant at present, | Williams will come up lives there. for re-election, and as far as is know. now is the only opponent to Mr. Ha rington. Mr. Williams and Mr. Ha rington are great friends. During his visit here Franklin D’- Olier, national commander made the statement that he did not favor the re-election of officers within the Le- gion. nw Dawson Not Up Again. ¢. L. Dawson, of Beach, present commander of the Legion in North Dakota, has announced that he will) not be a candidate for re-election. As to who will succeed him there is} much discussion. He is the first commander of the Legion, having been elected at the state convention held here last year. Jamestown is after the 1921 con+ vention of the Legion, and will have; the support of the Fargo delegates. Fargo is not making a bid for the convention. Points to Come Up. Among other things to be determ- ined at this meetiug will be the atti- tude of the state toward the four-fold compensation adjustment plan, which! has the endorsement of the executive committee. It seems probable, Le- gion men here say, that the state cou- vention will endorse this plan. A representative from the Bureau of War Risk insurance will be at the convention to give out information | , concerning government insurance. Minot Ready. The convention at Minot opens Wednesday morning, and will end Thursday night. The Minot post and business men have made extensive preparations for the event and prom- ise a full measure of enjoyment to the thousand or so ex-service men who will be guests of the city and Legion during the convention. Contrary to reports current in some quarters Bismarck is not try- ing to grab off the headquarters of the Legion or the next convention. | The local men are merely asking for the election of Harrington as adju- tant, and the rules of the state or- ganization specify that the headquar- ters follow the adjutant. Those Going to Minot. Those going as delegates from the Loyd Spetz ror are: George Russ. H. T. Murphy, P. G. Harrington, H.; Brocupp, Walter ‘Sather, W. E. Cole, Norman Flow and Will Normain. The ‘alternate delegates include, A. A. Jones, R. B. Lewis, T. J. Galvin, Noel Thoraldson, Myron At ‘inson, and M. W. Roan. FRENCH TRADE FIGURES SHOW GOOD INCREASE Paris, Aug. 24—Satisfaction is felt | in France at the official statistic just issued, of French imports and e ports during the first six months of the year. Exports show an increase of 5,096,- 000,000 francs, compared with the same period of last year. Imports al-! go show an increage, over 2,061 mil-| lions, but this increase is almost en- tirely due to materials for manufac- ture, which amounted to over 1,845] millions. : The excess of imports over exports during the first half of last year wa 11,037 millions, while for this y this excess has fallen to 7,849 mil- lions, an improvement welcomed in the financial world as likely to af- fect French exchange favorably. o— FAIR DELEGATES THERE—NO SMOKING > East Las Vegas, N. M., Aug. 24. —Because women delegates will be present, smoking will not be permitted at the state Democrat- jc convention which opened here today. The state central commit- tee said it was feared smoking might be offensive to some of th women delegates. At all Demo- eratic state conventions in Ari- zona in the past,, the delegates have been allowed to smoke. se . ———$ | Mrs. .Myrtle Hensley (left) Shinbach (right). cs i POKER IS WOMAN’S BEST ‘ARGUME “ Sioux City, Ia.

MONTANA VOTERS GO TO POLLS IN PRIMARY TODAY Helena, Mont. Aug. Aug. 24.— Seventy- three aspirants for nomination for twelve elective state offices are before the voters of Montana today in a pri- mary contest whose major interest is the effort of the candidates of the Nonpartisan league to capture the places of the “regular Democrats” on the Democratic ticket. Both the “regular” and the league have placed a complete list of candi- dates in the field. Party leaders pre- dicted a heavy vote.

So she arranged a meeting between Cousino, Mr. and Mrs. Shinbach, and herself. An argument ensued. “Let Hilda decide for herself!” Cousino blurted. “No,” protested my wife!” And according to Mrs. Hensley, Cousino reached toward his pocket. One shot, a burst of flame—Cou-} sino dropped dead in his tracks. Polide came. The suicide story was told.
