Napoleon N. D., April 14.— Logan county sentiment, as ex- and elsewhere, is favorable to Sen. ator McCumber. There is some Gronna sentiment in Mcintosh county, pressed in the district convention | ‘Conventions will be held ia most legislative districts in the state to- morrow for the purpose of selecting delegates to the “real Republican” convention to be held in Jamestown on Wednesday, April 19. fhe con- vention call is by legislative districts. Since Burle'gh county- is a legisla- tive district in itself the convention becomes a county convention. Yhe Burleigh county meeting will be called to prder at the courthouse ut 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon, with 118 delegates eatitled to sit in the con- vention, according to call. Of this number 62 are from the city of Bis- marck. The convention here will en- dors2 a legislative ticket, but is not expected to endorse any cundiJates for county offites. The only legisla- tive candidates thus far: in the field are L, EB. Heaton and Victor Ander- scn, for renomination, and P. G. Har- rington, endors2d by service men. As reports come in from various parts of the state there apparently is a strong drift toward suppert tor Senator McCumber. Many of his op- ‘ponents have frankly expressed sur- prise at the widespread demand tor support for hiny for renomination and reelection to the senate. His strength in cfties where protessional politi- cians have been bitter against him has been unusual. i Farmers Supporting (McCumber Senator McCumber, these reports indicates, is drawing support mainly from two classes at this time, busi- ness men and farmers. Business men believe that his ability and power in the senate makes it imperative upon tha state to retain him in the senate, not only for the good he may do North FIGHT LOOMS “Little Navy” Men Seek To Force Vote HARD!

Repub- licans frankly expect reverses in many of the states in the oast, where the normal Republican margin over the Democrats is small, or where in the last presidential election) Republicans carried states normally Democratic. Many farmers coming to the city are urging McCumber’s retention be- cause he has been a consistent ad- vocate of the interests of the farmer during his long service. Tho tariff bill reported out by Senator McCum- ‘ber’s finance ‘committee has ‘already caused wails from some eastern states because it is claimed the Northwest farmers are given more protection in this measure than ever before. A banker in a town in Western North Dakota, who is for Senator McCum- ber, gives this explanation of the re- c2nt seed loan bill. The banker sat down and wrote his representative in Congress saying that the condition of the western part of the state wag such that there must be an appropriation for seed loans. The representative wnote back stating that it, waa the policy of ‘Congress to dis- courage such appropriations at this time and because of the financial con |. dition he said it was almost hopeless to try and get a seed loan bill through. The banker wrote Senator McCum- ber. The latter replied he had re- ceived reports of conditions here and he was ‘convinced it was the duty of the government to provide seed loans again this year. He promised that a bill would be passed appropriating at least $1,500,000 for that purpose. The bill was passed. es Reports available at Grand Forks indicate that a majority of the pre- cinct delegates -elected in Grand Forks county are anti-McCumber and that they will control the three legis- lative district conventions in Grand Forks county. * * At the precinct caucuses in Beach, Golden Valley county, «last night, solid state administration delegates to the county convention were elect- ed, and the probabilities are that the Golden Valley county delegation to; the state convention will be for qon- tinuance of ‘the Nestos administra- tion first, and that it will be unin- structed on the senatorship, but will insist “on pledges for work in agri- cultural interests by any senator re-| ceiving its support.” . | In the McHenry county Republican | conventions at Velva yesterday, repre- | sentative of both legislative districts | in the county, seven delegates elected | are understood to be out of sympathy with the plan,to endorse Senator Mc- | ‘umber.
