i Mi For . Bismarck al Fair toni; jtonight, vicinity: ESTABLISHED 1873 BRI O’CONNOR TELLS HOW HE'D VOTE INU. S. SENATE Candidate for United States Senator Talks Upon National Problems REVIEWS FIGHT IN STATE Cites Conditions That Would Be Found in Return Of the League Declaring that if elected to U. S. Senate he would seek to inter- pret’ the will of people of state of | North Dakota, whoge first interest is in agriculture. J. F. T, O'Connor} spoke to a*large crowd in the, Bi-. marck auditorium Saturday night, | outlining some cf his ideas~ on| measures he would advocate in the National . Congress. Before the speech Mr..O’Connor was guest at; dinner at the Grand Pacific of the newly formed —O’Connor-Nestos! club, and later in the evening spoke at Mandan. Mr.O’Cognor was in- troduced at the. auditorium by Theodore Koffel...¢ Among the-measyres Mr, O’Con- nor said he would advocate is the| Great Lakes St. Lawrence /water- | way. “We must complete in wheat market with Argentina wheat grow ers, who move their grain 200 miles to sea, when we must haul grain 1,500 miles to seaport, he said. “If we could send that wheat from Buffalo up St. Lawrence river on ocean-going vessels we would save 10 cents a bushel on cost‘of ex- porting it.” Such a project, he asserted, could be paid for out of water power de- veloped in the project and trans- portation charges. e The question of marketing, he said; is a proper subject for na- tional legislative body. , Stating} that under present arrangement much of grain is marketed in thir- ty to s‘xty day period in fall, he advocated cooperation among farm-} ers\ so that it may be marketed gradually, and financing of such _ peorganizations through: national agencies such as war ‘finance and Federal Reserve banks. ~ ° There is demand for extension of credit on. the same basis as the Federal Farm Loan banks but by providing loans on a twenty year, or long amortization plan, and he asserted that study of figures: showed that, through the federal | reserve banks the farmers had not received as much consideration in proportion to the enormity of the business of agriculture as other lines of business. Policy on Tariff With respect to the tariff he reiterated his stand that so long as! protection is the policy of the! country agriculture should ‘receive proper protection and representa- tives in congress of the great agricultural states should stand together on this matter. Mr. O'Connor also discussed state issues at length, pointing out what ‘he: believed a return of the league'to power would;anean,' a re- turn to conditions: under: the jeague administration... > . Blames Frazier, Lemke Upon the shoulders of Lynn J. Frazier and William Lemke he! laid the blame for rotteness in the! Bank of North Dakota and in the break-down--of the entire league administration. “These leaders of the Nonparti- san league declare that they are the friends: of the . farmers, but! they have fought the best interests | of the farmers,” he asserted, Mr. O'Connor said that a few days ago at Grace City he talked to some farmers who. operated a! small mill. They pointed to stacks | of flour and said that'if they could sell the flour they could sell their: wheat and get along, and if every- body laid in his winter supply of ‘ flour the ‘depression of price.caus- ed by the flooding of the market) could be arrested. “So, after talking with _ thes farmers 1 suggested ‘a flour weel when everybody would lay in hi winter supply of flour,” said O’Con.: nor, “and immediately I am told; that I am working in the interests | of the millers. I am reminded of the price of a bushel of wheat and a sack of flour and told that there; + should not be the difference in the} price—that the miller is getting too much profit. I do not know what the proper price for flour is. I am against profiteering, But, my friends, if that is true the men who are responsible are Hagan, Lemke and Frazier. They ran a state: mill for one year and they ought to be able to give us_ the {ing the winter. BALLOT MADE | \few more will {tion to the withdrawals of Saturday {erats on the state ticket.

He cited forme er Governor Frazier’s veto of the Terminal Elevator bill in. 1917.’ Mr. O’Connor referred to the leg- islature of 1917 when he among others opposed the notorious house bill No, 44. H.

He is a liar.” According to Schneider, who ad- mits he is in love with the Bahmer girl, he said he was standing on a street corner with Miss Hayes and Leo Kaufman, when they saw the girl pass with her step father, Nicholas Bahmer. He was jealous of her stepfather, he said, and when he told the others of his sus- picions they agreed to follow the pair. Searched Through Park They searched first through Buc- cleuch Park, where Kaufman. left them. Schneider and Hayes then proceeded to the nearby Phillips farm. About 11 o’clock Schneider said they approached the crab- apple tree under whch the bodies of Mr, Hall and Mrs, Mills later were found, and Hayes pointed to the two figures beneath the tree, explaining: “There they are, now we'll fix them.” Hayes, Schneider declared, whip- ped out a pistol and began to shoot. When the pair collapsed, Schnei- der said. he went forward and struck a match, then turned to Hayes exclaiming: “Great God, man, you’ve made a mistake.” The two then fled, according to the statement. Schneider declared he did _not know how the throat of Mrs. Mlls had been cut, or the “bodies laid out under the tree carefully ad- justing their clothing after they had been slain.
