Announcing the completion of the state ticket, the league chiefs drop J. H. Cahill, defeated by Thomas Hall, secretary of state in the primary; W. H. Walker, defeated by John Steen, and C. F. Dupuis, defeated by W. H: Stutsman. The dropping of Cahill and Walker from the ticket was not unexpected. Both regarded as unpopular’ candi- dates. Cahill’s “red flag speech” made that they were not candidates caused them to be side-tracked from the ticket. Defied Bosses? Cc. F. Dupuis, vice-chairman of the railroad commission, is replaced by F.

The names of all speakers who are o be paid, with the amounts they are to receive. Contracts for bill-board advertising. Contracts for advertising in for- dign language newspapers. " Mr. Upham was imstructed to be back at two o'clock with the evi- lence. And Rep. F. D. Fess, chairs man of the cougressional vainpagu ommittee was called to the stand. «The outstanding, points in the maze of figures which the committee strug- zled yesterday afternoon were: Hays Says Three Million Testimony by Will Hays, chairman of the Republican National committee, chat the ‘Republican National commit- ee’s budget for the presidential cam- jaign called for expenditure of $3,- 179,037.20. Declaration by Homer Cummings, chairman of the Democratic National sommittee, that, allowing for the in- sreased cost of printing, clerical hire, ‘ents, transportation and all the ne- sessities of a national campaign, a na- ional committee should be able to tate “a fair, decent, and stiff cam- vaign with reasonable publicity” for 38,000,000. With that amount of money, he said, the national chairman need not vorry over finances. Mr. Hays also testified the Repub- ican national committee was seeking to raise approximately $1,000,000 to ve donated to the various state com- mittees for their local campaigns, naking a total of slightly more than 54,000,000 in the Republican cam- daign chest for all purposes. Mr. Cummings declared he be- Heved this amount was excessive and aointed to the 1916 campaign, say- ng that he learned in his home state of Connecticut the Republicans spent $250,000 in that year. He considered this. was too much for a common- wealth of that size. Cheek on States “If you let the state committees vun wild,” he said, “you get an ac- sumulated expenditure which in it- self is an ‘outstanding evidence of corrupt purpose. I suggest that this is just what is going to happen with the Republicans this year.” “Has either party any mononoply 01 this practice?” asked Senator Edge. O'CONNOR IS COMING Johnson Expected to Be Named Chairman of the Democratic Committee Again A battle for control of the Republi- can state committee will bé waged by Republicans and Nonpartisan league delegates in Bismarck tomorrow. Both the Republicans and Demo- cratic state committees meet here’ in accordance with law to organize. , The league majority among the county representatives on the state committee is small, and about 15 coun- ties will be contested by the. anti- Townley members. Prospects are that the league, with William Lemke, pres- ent state chairman of the Republican party, will’ ride through to control again. The regular Democrats are in con- trol of their state committee, and S. Johnson, of Grand Forks, probably will be re-elected state chairman. Many Republicans and Democratic politicians are coming to the city to- night for tM meetings. J. F. T. O’- Connor, fusion -candidate for Gover- nor, is,expected to be among the num- ber. John Fried, of Jamestown, is secretary of the Democratic state committee. H. H. Perry, Democratic senatorial candidate, also will be here. Caucuses of the Republican factions will be held tonight. MANY BATTLE IN NOMINATION FOR MICHIGAN POSTS Detroit, Mich., Aug. 31——There are nine candidates for the republican nomination. for Governor in the -Mi- chigan primaries held today, and a large field of Republican candidates for nomination in the 13 congressi- onal districts.

Miners employed as company men and the same amount is given “con- sideration miners” and miners, la- borers and monthly men. The president struck out of .the re- port provision fixing the terms of; retroactive payment under the award, which he said, was outside the com- mission’s jurisdiction. | Get Back Pay Anthracite mine workers’ will re- ceive about $18,000,000 in back pav under the retroactive feature of the award, which makes it’ effective April 1, 1920, and the increase award- ed to 175,000 miners will amount, the commission said, to at least $35,000,- 000 annually. “The majority report declared that the award offers no justification for any advance in the retail prices of coal, but on the other hand is con- sistent with a decline in prices. Any sharp advance in retail prices, the The opinion expressed by 0. W. Roberts was that the frost would probably not damage the crops in this section to any great extent, The western low pressure area has spread over the northwest, bringing with it low temperatures. Parts of Wyoming and Montana reported near freezing tempera- tures last night. Minot received .60 inches of rain yesterday, while Bowbells got 29 inches.

SOVIET GAINS AGAINST POLES ARE REPORTED Inspectors to Cover State in Annual Work of Lessen- ing Fire Danger Conservation and fire prevention agents will soon start on their yearly inspections’ of all grain elevators, flour mills and grain’ depositories in the state. \ A meeting of the Conservation and Fire Prevention association of North Dakota was held Monday in Fargo at which arrangements for the work were completed.

A crowd of, Sinn Feiners crept. down, Library. street from Carrick Hill and opened a re- volved fusilade pn the Unionists in the avenue, who replied vigorously. The windows adjacent to the fighting were crowded with spectators. The scene was unique in the city’s his- tory.
