THURSDAY, OCT. 14, 1920, We ter LEAGUE PLANT MAY JAR SOM / League Headquarters Charge Conspiracy While it Appears League Favored COURT . ACTION PLANNED Assistant Secretary of State Declares Election Laws of State are. Muddled A new “plot” by the Nonpartisan league has been discovered. And a new “plot” by the anti-Town- ley men has been,discovered. Both of which appear to be due to the complicated and‘ ambiguous election laws of North Dakota, which the legislature, in the last foyr years, has done nothing to correct.’ The Nonpartisan league, organ in Fargo raised a‘ great disturbance. be- cause all the individual’ nominations for the election, in November, are printed in one column, ls The ballot, as many ‘county audi- tors fre having it printed, is a three- column ballot, having a column for Governor Frazier and others’ victori- ous in the Republicdn primary; a Democratic column and’ an individual nominations column, League Name Used In the individual nominations’ col- umn there are two divisions. The so- cialists filed individual nominations for presidential electors. These are blocked together agd designated as socialists. The Nonpartisan individ- ual nominations, being men to take the places of those defeated in the Re- mae primary, are blocked togeth- er and are designated as Nonparti- sangleague candidates. » The league organ says it is a_plot to put the socialists and the Non- partisan indiyidyal nominations in one column. Gives League Advantage | Some anti-Townley men. deglared | that it is an illegal and untaib’ ad- vantage to give the Nonpartisan league candidates-in Jabeling them as candidates of the leagut. $ In 1912 Attorney General Costelio held that the! individual nominations should go in one column. Other per- sons are said to have held-that there should be separate columns. ie In 1916 Attorney 4 General . Linde held that it-wasenot’ permissable to designate Nonpartisan Jeague candi dates on the ballot bedause the league had no legal standing’ as ‘a political party. If these attorney genérais were cor- rect then the-league is given an un- fair advantage in this fall’s ballots. / The league organ declares that there is a plot oh,’and it names)Ai- torney General Langer, Secretary, of State Hall and others as being in'thv “plot.” It is understoed that Langer holds a three-column ballot is per~ missable. Up to Auditors It was explained today by Assist- ant Secretary of State Duffy, Mr. Hall being out of the city, that the county auditors are charged with the duty of printing the ballots and they may designate them. The office of the secretary of state has not attempted to do more than the law allows— which is to certify the candidates to the, county auditors. Considerable mioney would be sav- ed in printing a 'three-column ballot, and under) the present , degignation many people believe that the league candidates, being designated as su on a smaller ballot, would gain i stead of lose.

The Jatest recruit is Lord Robert Cecil, one of the most respected of the un- ionist leaders, who has joined Vis- count ‘Grey in a letter to the press ling for.an investigation by a con- stitutional tribunal as to whether the zovernment is responsible for the re- yrisals in Ireland. The letter begins by referring to Premier Lloyd George's speech as as- suming that the reprisals have been confined to the shooting by police of those ‘reasonably suspected of an in- tention to attack them, or who’ had been incontrovertibly guilty of the murder of their fellows. Account Incomplete “That is avery incomplete account af the reprigals pf the military,” says Lord Ceeil, fe i “It is alleged on apparently over- whelming evidence that the armed forces of the crown ‘have for sone | months. systenfatically destroyed or burned buildings ‘and other property in towns, villages and farms in Ire- land; that they have fired rifles and thrown bombs:at random, Killing and wounding the inhabitants and driving women and children-of all ages and in all’ conditions of health to the fields and mountains.” 4 “These acts undoubtedly were com- mitted in revenge for horrible out- Krages perpetrated in the districts con- cerned but they have not been con- fined to those individuals who have been guilty of such outrages. On the contrary the victims have included Protestants and Unionists who used to be bitter opponents of the Sinn Fein. “It is further alleged that the pol icy which produced this result was sarictioned by the ministers of the crgwh including the prime minister himself.* These are serious charges and necessitate an investigation by a constitutional tribunal.” ANOTHER KILLED Dublin, Oct. 14.—Civilians attacked an armored ‘car near here this after- noon.

E. Ward of Stark county, president of the Southwestern division of the State Teachers’ association, President Ward pals sed “The necessity of reorgan- i at tion in administration, as it fects the office of county superin- \ tendent.” - , -We need legislation, President Ward stated, to bring about a change in the method of securing the county | superintendent. He advocated a coun- ty, board of education, selected as iny first school board is elected, from ‘the ranks of farmers, business, and | professional -men~and’ women ‘of. the county at large. They should be tnominated and elected as any other county officers at the general elec- tion for a term specified by law. There should be three or five members, he said. The chief duty of this board should be that of appointing the county sup- erintendent. The'county superintend- ent should be chosen, as a high class city superintendent, from any place in the United States or our own state or county, who is the very best mate- rial available, with the very Highest qualifigation and general fitness, and with a salary necessary to secure the best talent, he said. Duties of Superintendent The county superintendent, so ap- pointed, should stand in the same re- lation to the county board of educa- tion as does the city superintendent to his board of education; that of professional adviser, and. chief admin- istratoy of all matters in the admin- istration and supervision of the schools of the county. Reasons tor Change The necessity for better rural schools, to he brought about in the shortest possible time. The one-room school, the speaker stated, is waste- ful of the public funds; it is ineffi- Bient; it does not educate.” The chil- dren in-rural communities must have the very! best schools available, un- der thoroughly qualified teachers. Therg must be a well equipped high school for every community, right in the community, with the children re- maining in their homes on the farms, he said. Plan Well Tested The plan urged, Mr. Ward explain- ed, is not a new one. It is working in Iowa and many southern states, such as Georgia, and in the east in Delaware and other states.
