THIRTY-NINTH YEAR BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1920 | [==] THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE [== PRICE FIVE CENTS PLEDGE TAKEN BY CANDIDATE FROM BURLEIGH Agrees to Act on Rule of Ma- jority of Nonpartisan League Members LAST DAY FOR. FILING Many Democratic Candidates! ‘Withdraw in Favor of Re- publican Nominees Nonpartisan candidates for, the legislature are bound to the secret caucus by a pledge. A copy of the pledge signed; by L. D. Bailey, going on the ticket for legislature in Burleigh | county, where the Nonpartisans were defeated in the June prim-) ary, became public today. The pledge to the secret cau-| cus is slightly disguised with| high-sounding phrases. The; pledge appears in the last sen- tence. It reads: “I agree further that during the session of the legislature I will at all times vote and work for those measures and legislative acts that are APPROVED BY A MAJORITY OF THE MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE ELECT- ED BY THE NONPARTISAN LEAGUE AND ORGANIZED LA- | BOR” | The pledge means nothing, except) the portion binding the candidate to) the caucus rule of the league dictators | if elected.. It is merely a club to hold| over his head. The oath of office of: a legislator binds him to act in the! best interests of all the people and to work for just laws. The only purpose for which the pledge could be exacted! is to prolong the star chamber method | of legislation in North Dakota, stifling | free expression of opinion and in-} creasing the dictatorial powers otf! William Lemke and A. C. Townley. | Rush of Petitions ‘ Today was the last day for filing pe- titions for candidates for state and! legislative offices. Petitions for the/ Nonpartisan league candidates to run against independent republicans nom- nated at the June primary were filed. | Petitions also were filed for 50 inde- pendent candidates for the house and | 12 for the senate. It is understood that every legisla- tive candidate signed the agreement binding himself to the secret/caucus. ' The league did not file candidates | for legislative offices from the dis-j tricts of the city of Fargo and Grand: Forks. Whether these were to be filed yet today was not made plain when} Joseph Coghan, local leaguer, dump- | ed a bunch’ of petitions in the office; of the secretary of state. j “Women Candidates Three women candidates for the! legislature were entered by the Non- partisan league from the 29th district, | Ward county. They are Mrs. D. F.| Seed, Bessie L. Edwards and Metka Lakowski. Mrs. Seed, who is under-| stood to be a relative of F. W. Cathro, : director-general of the Bank of North! Dakata, presented a petition which in-! cluded the names of her husband. Her husband bad failed to complete his citizenship, but it is understood he had accomplished that ,so that no obstacle stands in the way of his wife's candi- dacy. ; Mrs, Mary Olson entered the legisla- tive lists as a candidate for the legis- Jature from Rolette county as an anti- Townley candidate. 1 “" Nelson Quits F Among the withdrawals filed with} the secretary of state were those of; ‘Nick Nelson, Democratic candidate for Congress in the First district. This Jeaves the field between O. B. Burt-) ness and John Baer. Frank Sanford, } Democratic candidate for commission- | er of agriculture and labor also with-| drew. The democratic legislative candidates in Burleigh county also withdrew. | ‘A large number of withdrawals from| Democratic candidates for legislative, offices in counties where the Repub-/ licans nominated candidates over the, league men in the primary were to be filed today. This action clears the at- mosphere for the fusion ticket making the fight in November a straight fight between Townley and anti-Townley, candidates. i COX CONTINUES | HIS LEAGUE PLEA Joplin, Mo., Oct. 2.—In_ his speeches at Miami, Oklahoma and at Joplin to-, day Governor Cox discussed the hv~j manitarian provisions of the leagu2 of nations, asserting that the “prof- iteers of peace” ate opposed to it be- cause it prevents them from “exploi tation of humanity in sweatshops and unsanitary factories.” | LANDLORDS MUST | HEAT BUILDINGS: Chicago, Oct. 2.—Landlords who fai properly to heat their flat buildings will face prison sentences and in case where death results from improper heating, murder charges will be as ed of the grand jury, City Health Com- missioner John Dill Robertson an-: nounced, after 93 complaints of cold} apartments had been lodged in his de- partment. yi NATION’S DEBT | UT $237,315,995 Washington, Oct.

A. Anderson | secretary ot the industrial commis ion; the Equity Packing plant, J. A. McGovern, secretary of the mill and uievator association. Neither Lemke nor Anderson ap- peared at that hearing, but the su- preme court, in a new order handed down last evening, continued its in- junction against intrastate rate in- creases until a, new heiring is held at which Mr. Lemke may put in his ap- pearance. Just when the hearing will be held is uncertain. Lemke told the court that the hearing the board of railroad commisisoners had set for Oct. 16 was on too short notice. He suggested 3 days time, which would give him an opportunity to present his case, ac- companied by much publicity just be- fore the election. The court did not hold that the rail- 1 oppor- iled to r before t c to fix the rates, as Lemke had alleged. } It ordered a new hearing, continuing state rates amounts to about $1,000,000 a year, figured on 1919 earnings.

The rules deal in detail with equip- ment and methods to be pursued by utilities and records to be kept which form a basis for rate-making. The rules and regulations are de- signed to standardize equipment and facilitate record keeping and testing. Among the requirements of the com- mission are: There shall bé available for use at time of maximum loads at least six equivalent boiler horsepower ca y for each 1,000 square feet of radiation connected to the utility's mains. The utility shall maintain in service as a minimum requirement on pres- sure gauge on each seryice main. Steam pressure at the service valv@| g shall at all times during the heating season be maintained at a pressure not less than one pound gauge. Prescribes methods of setting me- rs. In case of complaint by a consum- er to the utility alleging inadequate service the utility shall, as soon as investigate the heating system on the consumer's premises. If the consumer is in fault the utility shall recommend in writing what changes should he made to give the desired effect and in such cases the ; utility may bill the consumer for the expense of the test. If the utility ‘s at fault it shall bear the expense. The rules direct that all steam heai- ing service obtained from a low pres- sure distribution system shall he placed upon a meter basis as soon as practicable, not later than Jan. 1, 1921. Utility records must be kept in tae state and shall not be destroyed with- in three years time.

T, O'- Connor’s campaign tour in the west- ern part of the state this week and last week. The anti-Townley candi- date has spoken to large and en- thusiastic crowds in Ward, Burke, Di- vide, Williams, McKenzie, Golden Val- ley, Stark, Billings, Hettinger, Bow- man, Adams, and Morton counties, covering practically all of the third} congressional district. He has been a mpanied by R. A. Johnson, the anti-Townley candidate for congress in the: district, and both speakers have delivered telling blows against Town- leyism on their way. Mr. .O’Connor speaks at Mandan tonight and Bis- marck Monday: night. This part, of the state includes some | of the strongest League terirtory in North Dakota but the crowds have lis- | tened to the speakers’ argument with interest and enthusiasm. Reports 1 ceived at the headquarters, both Fargo and Grand Forks, indicate 2 falling off in the League vote in local- ities visited by Mr. O'Connor. Prom- Anent Leaguers, who heard him, have complimented him on the fairness wit which he presents the issues. Added Pep. )’Connor’s tour has added new viz- | or to the anti-Townley campaign in the western counties. Local leaders ure taking new hold and are getting their forces organized for the He battle November 2nd. In many of these counties Nonpartisans have pledged themselves to vote for the anti-Townley ticket, feeling that the farmers program of terminal elevator and flour mill, as well as the Bank ot North Dakota, will get a fair deal from O'Connor and the rest of the inde- pendent candidates. Reporting on Mr. O’Connor’s tour through the northwest corner of the state, F. P. Bergman, campaign man- ager for Williams county, says: “There is no question Mr, O’Connor made a tremendous hit and left a very good feeling everywhere. We, of. course, realize that this will have to] be followed up by a lot of work by local parties, but judging by the work O'Connor did in this county—and as 1 know this county surely‘is a bad one to get results in—I want to report to you, and emphasize with all the strength at my command, that you at headquarters should carry on this campaign as much as possible along the manner and_ style that O'Connor does.” Farmers Pledge Support. Corroborating evidence of O’Con- nor’s victorious campaign in the northwestern districts come from other correspondents. One writer says that the anti-Townley candidate is making friends and supporters ev- erywhere and continues: “Last even- ing | talked with a man who hap- pened to be in Crosby the day after Mr. O’Connor spoke there. He said the reports he heard there was that Mr. O’Connor makes a tremendous hit, and one of the biggest and strongest League farmers in that territory has heen wearing two O'Connor buttons since that time and says he is proud to wear these buttons. I have also talked with several parties from Gren- ora, Wildrose, Ray, Wheelock and Ep- ping and they all give the most en- couraging reports.” After the anti-Townley meeting in Williston three Nonpartisan farmers were eating breakfast in a restaurant, und discussing Mr. O’Connor’s speech they all agreed that it had been very clean-cut and gentlemanly; they de- clared that the speaker seemed to be a splendid man, and one of the party finally said that he certainly was go- ing to vote for a man like that; the other two said they would’ do the same. ndidate for lieu- tenant-governor has this week held sessful meetings in Cass, Ransom, Sargent, LaMoure and Stutsman coun- ties. This evening he will join O’'Con- nor at the big anti-Townley rally in Mandan and next week he will make a tour of McLean, Ward, Mountrail and Williams counties. J. ‘i, Nelson, candidate for commis- sioner of agriculture and labor spoke t weck to large and entsusiastic crowds in Eddy, Barnes, Steele, Griggs, Nelson and Foster, Reinhart J. Kamplin, candidate for attorney general, and Attorney Svein- bjorn Johnson of Grand Forks, have had good mectings in Cavalier and Pembina. Mr. Kamplin is making 2 hit with the voters. He is greeted ev- erywhere as “the man who is going to get Lemke’s goat. , Women Show Interest. Particularly encouraging is the in- terest shown by the women voters in the state in this fight against To’ leyism. In Cavalier county the wo- men’s activities are all but complete- ly organized, and from all parts of the state come requests to the headquar- te sist in perfecting the organ- and for suggestions for further activtities. .

Powell, chairman of the women activities for Ramsey, reports to headquarters in Fargo that the women have arranged for a big tour of the most important points i PLAN A QUICK DRIVE TO AID SALVATION ARMY Elks Meeting Last Night Per- fects Arrangements for Campaign PLAN ENLARGED WORK Everything is ready for the quick drive for the Salvation Army budget in Burleigh. county. Final arrangements were made at a meeting last night of Elks and some citizens who are not Elks but wish to join in the campaign. The. dates set for the budget cam- paigns. of the army over the entire country are Oct. 4-11, The budget for the county is $6,700. This also tikes care of needed work on the Salvation Army building in the city, to provide for the increased needs to be met by the organization. L. K. Thompson presided at the meeting last evening. H.S. Dobler is general chairman for the Burleigh county drive, F. J. Grady is chair: man for the of Bismarck and E. G. Wanner is chairman for the county outside cf Bismarck. Elks Father It It is expected that the budget sum will be raised without any difficulty. The Elks lodge of Bismarck was the first Elks lodge in the United States to undertake to father the Salvation Army work. During the war the Elks over the entire country contributed to the organization secretly, and it was not until the war was over that it was generally known that the Elks had done such a remarkable war work. The Salvation Army occupies a com* manding place in Burleigh count; cares for practically all of the c ity work, and prevents many per: becoming county charges by ait the persons “down but never out” to get on their feet again. Enlarged Program Under the enlarged program there is a chairman in every township in the county to supervise the Army work, and reported needy cases and ways. by which the Army may be of public service. The program for the remodelling of the Army home includes the con- struction of a rest room and other rooms which shall greatly aid the people, especially children, who are unable to gain needed recreation ana help otherwise. The Salvation Army, it was declared at the meeting, is the most economically managed organiza- tion doing this- kind of work. It also was made plain that when the budget is raised no solicitation will be made except at the regular service meeting on the street or at the Salvation Army home.

Residence KNOWN AS ‘HARMONIZER’ Held Power in Organization Without Exercising Powers as, Orator Dalton, Mass., Oct. 2—W. Murray Crane, former United States senator and for years a power in the Repub- lican party, died early today at Sugar ‘Hill, the family home. came quietly, after four {days of heavy sleeping, almost of | vonconsciousne: The sleeping sick- ness had set in after an illness of several months and it was this which immediately preceded death. ; An outstanding characteristic of Mr. ; Crane, former Goveror of Massachu- jsetts and for two terms a United {States Senator from that state, was \the fact that he attained eminence in | public life without being an orator. Although he served eight years in the Senate it was said of him that he never made what really could be call- jed a “speech” in that body. The suc- cessor of Senator Hoar, whose wit and eloquence rang through the halls of Congress, Crane’s chief claim to dis- tinction was that of silent leadership and of a party mediator. A Harmonizer Senator Crane on more than one ‘asion in the interval from 1904 to 1913, when Republican differences de- | veloped and party measures were en- 1 dangered, demonstrated his ability as a harmonizer and by using his per {sive powers in personal interviews j With other senators, with whom he was popular, restored peace. On one ‘occasion the fate of an important bill {appeared to depend upon the vote of one senator. His colleagues had tried in vain, by many methods, to learn the probable attitude of this man. Crane, who had been talking the mat-, ter over with a group of Republican’ senators, remarked: “Wait a minute.” He crossed the floor of the Senate chamber to the recalcitrant’s desk and conversed with him in low tones for a few moments. Returning to his friends, he announced with a smile: “He'll vote for the bill.” “How did you find out?’ was the astonished in- quiry. “I asked him’,” was Cran reply. Born in Dalton, Mass 1853, the son of Zenas M. Crane, a pa- per manufacturer, young Crane war educated in the public schools and at Williston Seminary. He never attend- ed college, but after leaving the semi- nary, entered the paper mills founde‘l by his grandfather at Dalton and in them he maintained an _ interest throughout his life. For many years these mills produced the paper used by the United States government in engraving its currency, bonds and notes. Because of his interest in this industry and his desire to continue with it, Mr. Crane, at the beginning of President Roosevelt's administration, declined an invitation to enter his cab- inet as Secretary of the Treasury. In 'T. R's Esteem President Roosevelt ‘held the “si- lent” Massachusetts man in high Crane had been unusually suc- esstul in averting strikes and dis- agreements at the Dalton mills. In 1902, when he was Governor of Massa- chusetts, he was instrumental in ad- justing by arbitration a serious strike jof teamsters and freight handlers in | Boston. Later, it is said, he suggest- ed to President Roosevelt the method \by which the strike of. several hun- dred thousand, coal miners in the anthracite fields was settled. He was always interested in n- tific agriculture. By the application of business methods he developed 2,700 ne! of neglected land in Dalton into t successful farm. Mr, Crane made many important gifts to his home town and gave largely to charitable objects. He was credited with having saved many individuals and small companies in the Berkshires from bankruptcy when they were overcome {by business difficulties. William Col- llege bestowed upon him the honorary degree ot Master of Arts in 1897 and in 1903 Harvard made him a Doctor of Laws. April 23, ‘TOWNLEY GETS COURT DELAY Paul, Oct. 2.-A. C.
