PRICE FIVE, CENTS LEAGUERS TALK STATE POLITICS IN CONFERENCE Former Governor Frazier Among} Those Participating in Meeting Ni ANTICIPATE CONVENTION Fight For Control of League State Meetings is Opened in the State ~ Activity in Nonpartisan league cir- cles was renewed today here at a con- ference of about 25 leaguers, includ- ing former Governor Lynn J. Frazier and former Commissioner of Agricul- ture and Labor John N. Hagan. | In- formal meetings behind closed doors were held at which the political sit- uation was discussed, The call for the conference was sent out from Minneapolis by Mr. Hagan. He and Governor Frazier came in on the midnight train. Several Nonpartisan officials or state em- ployes, Representative Vogel, of Cole- harbor; H. A. Paddock, former secre- tary of the Industrial Commission, and others were here. Mr, Paddock said he came from St. Paul where he maintains a law office on legal busi- ness in federal court and not for the conference, The fact that the meeting was held in Bismarck and brought a number of Nonpar ns from the ‘western part of the state together was regarded as some significance in political circles. There appear to be three factions in the league at present, the Townley; “balance of power” group, the Lieder- bach or majority of the state commit- tee faction and the. so-called Lemke faction. The Courier-News announces the conference here as the beginning of a fight to control the forthcoming Nonpartisan league state convention. The attitude of the league organ now is governed by the majority of the state committee, or, the Liederbach faction, It has opened a fight on Townley’s “balance of power” plan. Both the so-called Lemke group and the majority of the Liederbach fac- tion want to see a full league ticket in the field in the June primary, and do not take kindly to Mr. Townley's plan, There are many adherents of the Townley plan in the league, how- ever, who believe that the league can exert. immeasurably morq power through holding itself forth as a non- political, organization demanding. that, the political parties put the league demands into action. League township meetings to se- lect delegates to the forthcoming state sonyention are to be held February CHAUFFEUR IS AGAIN QUIZZED Mabel Normand’s Driver Before Officials Los Angeles, Feb. 17.—Following a two-hour re-examination of William Davis, chauffeur for Mabel Normand, yesterday investigators, police and others assigned to ‘the task of trying to solve the mystery surrounding the murder of W.

Thirteen years ago Edith Kelly Gould was a a week, chorus girl. Today she is a leading lady and her pitch—lowest note—is $50,000. So she is bringing it for that amount against Frank J. Gould, whom she married on 1909. “My financial pitch really is more,’ she says. “But I hope soon to be earning enough money myself.” How much does she spend?

Sperry, her counsel, said, “have been more than $700,000 a year.” Edith Kelly Gould smiled. “That would have sounded like a “fabulous sum if I had heard it years back.” She had been a chorus girl in Lon- BACKS WARDEN AT STATE PEN Governor Will Support Effort!

He emphasized that building can- not be resumed in any large degree until transportation charges are cut.
