PRICE FIVE CENTS PRIMARY WARMS PROTESTS USE OF DISABLED VETS _ JOINT FUND IN AS TIME NEARS FOR BALLOTING Campaign Workers Shaking Off Apparent Lethargy and Driv- ing Finish Expected VOTE OF DEMS. PUZZLE Conservative Estimates Now Place the Vote Between 30,000 and 35,000 With the primary election one week from tomorrow in North Dakota cam- paign workers have shaken off the apparent lethargy that has marked the campaign and puzzled politicians of all factions. A driving campaign finish is expected, though without the bitterness of past campaigns | and without the flare of drums or display of banners. The silence upon part of voters, however, is not taken to means that a full vote will not be cast. It is expect- ed that the vote will exceed that of the recall election, and may range around 230,000 in the Republican and Democratic primaries. Discussion of many issues in the campaign from an economic or business standpoint has failed to arouse enthusiasm but has brought sober reflection on the part of the voters. i Governor Nestos, B. F. Baker and H. L. Stegner, Republican candidates for Governor, will be in the field every day until election. Although ‘there is a lively fight among Demo- crats there is no speaking campaign conducted by them. The scramble for county offices in most counties is ex, pected to be an important factor in getting practically every voter to the polls, see The Democratic vote, which has been the subject of much discussion, probably will be between 30,000 and 35,000 according to estimates of, De- mocrats who have sought registra- tion figures from various counties. In some counties there is a decrease; in the Democratic registration while in others a marked increase is shown.; The vote for O’Connor in 1920 was} 7,900;-the exact Democratic registra- tion is not known, > H. P. Goddard has assumed charge | of the Independent campaign in Bur-' leigh county for the remaining days of the campaign. It’ is probable that schoolhouse meetings will be held in the country this week. The league speaking campaign thus far in the county has been confined’ to the Townley organization’ meeting ‘here, meeting Of league women’s clubs, Fra- zier rallies near Wing and at Wilton and the picnic last Sunday at Meno- ken. L. ,Stegner is expected tc speak ‘here the night of June 27. The Burleigh County Veterans Po- litical. Club will hold an important meeting tonight in Legion hall to discuss the campaign. Many voters have inquiried as to whether there would be registration days at the polling places in the city before election. There will be no re gistration dav before the primary. Registrations were made through the assessors or may be made with the auditor. eee Indorsement of Senator McCumber by a large number of newspapers in the state during the last week, .acti- vities of Governor Preus, Congress- man Burtness and others in his behalf have caused McCumber supporters to declare a trend in his favor has set in which will roll up a good sized ma- jority.

It is recognized, however that re- jection of the extremists at the polls has not removed all the difficulties of the situation. The labor vote which is generally remarked as one of the most notable features of the polling, is claimed for the treaty side, but it is declared by some -observers that the Irish labor party is far more la- borite than treatyite, and its future attitude in reference to the country’s politics is unknown, The Dublin correspondent of the Daily Telegraph expressing his views in this connection, which are support- ed in other quarters, says: “Jt is doubtful how far labor will support the treaty. Labor has its own idea, namely a workers’ republic, in which everything would be subservi- ent to the artisan and Jaborer. “The labor party in Ireland. is not! like the English labor party; its ten- dency is toward Bolshevism. How far it wil. support the treaty“ in. the provisional parliament or how. far it will’ assist ‘the treaty’s enemies. no- body can tell. In any case it is not likely to become a stabilizing influ- ence.” PRO-TREATY MEN LEAD Dublin, June 21.—The approximate representation of the various parties in the parliament chosen at last Fri- day’s election as shown by returns up to this afternoon follows: Coalition treaty 54; Coalition Re- publicans 33; Labor 14; Farmers 5 and Independents 10.

A. Nestos will con- tinue, Theodore Nelson, secre9tary of the Independent Voters Associa- tion said today. His statement fol- lowed advices from Minot that an order had been issued in district court restraining the Committee of 45 from unlawful combination of funds and fusion of the parties. The committee has served to co- ordinate, Republican, Democratic and Independent forces against the league. “We: have hothing covered up,” said Mr. Nelson today. “Each of the three patties has its own cam- paign funds.” Judge John C. Lowe, district court judge of Minot, has issued an order re- straining The Independent Voters’ As- sociation and the “Committee of 46” from collecting or disbursing funds as charged in a complaint made by F.. 0. Hellstrom which asked the court to re- strain them from “collecting and dis- bursing campaign funds for and in the name of the Independent Voters’ Asso- ciation and the Democratic and Repub- lican parties and that the said respond- ents .be further restrained and en- joined from interfering with the free, voluntary actions of said Democratic and Republican parties, its representa- tives, agents, officers or the members thereof; and that they cease to exer- cise combined authority and jurisdic- tion over said political parties that they and each of them, be required to file with this court a true and accur- ate accounting of all funds collected by them ‘to’ render an ‘accounting cor- rectly stating from whom received and to whom paid or disbursed.

D., June 21. — A drizzling rain starting early this morning put a damper on he festivi- ties of the American Legion conven- tion here. This was to be the big day of the convention as far as the general pub- lic is concerned, on account of the ap- pearance of Kenesaw Mountain Lan-, dis, who arrived at noon to make two addresses, one before the convention and another later in the afternoon at the Elks Club building. : Guardsmen Parade The parade last night, in which the entire North Dakota regiment par- ticipated, was one of the outstanding features of the convention. Almost 1,000 uniformed guardsmen were, in line. Included in the line were about 50 floats, made by members of the Legion Auxiliary, representing scenes of the World War., Four bands par- ticipated in the parade. It is estimated that 5,000 persons saw the flying circus at the fair- grounds yesterday . afternodn, the largest crowd ever seen there. Governor R. A. Nestos addressed the Legion, praising highly the work of the organization and the ideals for which it fought and for which it now stands. is “The Legion is proving a valuable influence in both our ‘nation and our communities,’ the Governor said, “and when we consider the short time in which its members prepared them- selves for the great task during the World War, how they left the various places of business, we cannot help but, understand the great spirit of the ex- soldiers. This spirit is American and has made this a great nation. We must remember the ideals for which the Legion men fought, a government by constitution and which we must fight to maintain throughout all the future and because the American Legion stands for such ideals, I have confidence in its membership to see to it that they are realized as they are today idealized.” — Q f Read Reports of State Commander Philip DARING ATTEMPT T ROBBERY OF DIAMONDS MADE (By the Associated Press) Chicago, June 21--While an inventory was being made today to determine the exact loss in the attempt late yesterday of two bandits to steal $250,000 worth of diamonds in a daylight holdup of a jewelry firm in the Masonic ‘Temple building, the police were watching sev- eral houses in an effort to arrest the second of two bandits, one of whom was captured last night. Estimates of the loss varied today from virtually nothing to $100,000. REMOVETARIFF FROM POLITICS ASKRD IN BILL Senator Frelinghuysen, New Jer- sey, Proposes Permanent and Enlarged Commission SAYS WARNING GIVEN Senator Declares Method of Finding Out Proper Tariff Should be Matter of Science (By the Associated Press) for the construction of what was de- scribed as a scientific tariff based on the differences |between f:onvprsion costs in this country and abroad would be set up under an amendment to the pending tariff bill proposed to- day by Senator Frelinghuysen, Re- publican, New Jersey, who as a mem- ber of the finance committee, helped draft the present measure. Under the amendment, the tariff commission would be enlarged to ten members and would be required to recommend to congress not later than December 1, 1923, and each six months thereafter, rates of duty ne- cessary to equalize the differences in conversion costs as disclosed by in- vestigations which it would make, Would Hold for Life The members of the commission would be appointed by the president, would hold office for life'and would receive salaries of $12,000 each, the same as cabinet officers.

GIVE BILL RIGHT-OF-WAY. (By the Associated Press) Washington June 21,—The house rules committee voted today to give right of way to the Capper-Tincher grain exchange bill which would supple- ment the future trading act to meet the; recent supreme court decision. The measure -will be taken up by the house system was both “illogical and unsci- entific.” Describing that system ‘xi “a compilation of the statements of manufacturers, importers, merchants and farmers, and of inconclusive data collected by. government agencies in- adequately equipped,” the Senator said the public mind was thoroughly awake to “the abuses of this system and to the necessity for reform.” Should Be Warning “And this awakening should be a warning to all of us to take the tariff out of politics,” he continued. “It has been said cynically that: the tariff cannot be taken out of politics. It is probable that the theory of what con- stitutes proper tariff levies always will remain a political question, just as it has always been a mater of dis- pute between economists. But the method of finding out the facts on which to assess tariffs certainly is not a political matter.” The New Jersey senator argued that his amendment would “vitalize’ the tariff commission and would re- move its members from “personal and party pressure” by establishing a fundamental principle for fixing rates. Also, he said, it would give the com- mission the time, the money and the authority to frame such a bill as would “afford actual, not merely sup- posed protection to American indus- try and American labor.” HARDING TRIP DECLARED OFF —— Washington, June 21.—President Harding's tentatively projected Alas- kan trip this summer has been aban- doned, it was definitely announced to- day at the White House.

Reports on the balloting at the Burn- side shops of the Tllinois Central were to the effect the boilermakers there had voted overwhelmingly against a strike. Anti-strike sentiment among the Burn- side boilermakers was said to be al- most unanimpus.

The gen. eral chairmen are expected to arrive Friday and Saturday, intending to be- gin the ballot count on Sunday. Rail workers and their leaders today were digesting the reply of B. W. Hoop- er, chairman of the railroad labor board, to the nine union chiefs who informed the board a strike would be authorized if the referendum favors a suspension of work on the roads. Hooper Against Strike. What effect Mr. Hooper's statema@ that the proposed strike would be dis- astrous to the railway unions, unfor- tunate for their members and unjust to ithe public, would have on the balloting the remainder of the week, was a mat- ter of conjecture today. Mr. Hooper's letter said the strike vote should not be taken on any mis- understanding of the’action or attitude of the board and asserted the ultimatun; of the union chiefs manifested “a strik- ingly distorted conception of what the board has done and why it did it.” Mr. Hooper said although he felt no reply was required he also felt it his duty to answer the union leaders in the interest of railway’ peace and because the threatened strike “contains such ibilities of loss and detriment to the strikers,” PREUS LEAVES FOR DAKOTA Minnesota Governor, Renominat- ed, to Speak for McCumber (By the Associated Press) St. Paul, June 21—Governor J.
