But the state still holds the most prominent posi- tion among the states in which party lines have been broken in un- Pprecedented manner in the cam- paign. In some states the break- down is not as complete as in North Dakota, but there are several which present and anomolous situation to the politicians and political obser- vers of the east. The alignment on the senatorial race in North Dakota has attracted wide attention, though perhaps it has not been commented on as much as it would , were other states not in the same boat, The declaration of many North Dakotans that party lines must not count in the fall election once would have been re- garded as rank heresy in the east- ern press, but not so this fall. In Minnesota the Democratic can- didate for senator, Mrs. Annie Ol- son, declared in favor of the Re- publican candidate for Senator in North Dakota. Governor J. A. O. Preus, candidate for re-election in Minnesota as the Republican candi- date, open his guns on Congress- man Keller of S. Paul, Republican nominee and declared to be Non- partisan adherent. Governor Preus declared he unqualifiedly endorsed the candidacy of J. F. T. O’Connor ‘in North Dakota. Forgotten Elsewhere Party lines are being lost sight of to a great degree in Wisconsin, where both Republicans and Demo- crats opposed to Senator LaFollette have joined to support the Demo- cratic candidate for Senator. The same is ture in Montana, where the Nonpartisan league captured the Democratic organization. Democrats cratic organization. Democrats turn- turned to support of Joseph M. Dixon Republican and former Senator, and elected him Governor two years ago. Party lines are lost sight of in Montana in the fight this fall. Fhe same situation is. found..in | Nowa, although the © Nonpartisan league as such is not a factor. Smith W. Brookhart, the Republican candidate for United States Senator, is being opposed by many leading Republicans of the state on the ground that he is socialistic in his views. A Republican convention was held in Des Moines at which opposition to him was expressed. More than unusual interest attach- ed to the statement of Dr. Harding, life-long Republican and father of President Harding, that Brookhart ought to be defeated. It was made while Dr. Harding was attending a G. A. R. convention there. Political observers writing of the situation in the country are point- ing out that party lines also are be- ing broken in Oklahoma, and to lesser degree in a number of other states, The eastern press has been slow to regard the movement as of any more than local significance, but since within the last two or three weeks political writers of national reputation have been traveling over the country and showing the real situation there has been much edi- torial comment in the east, and not a few leading men have declared the situation ‘this fall means the beginning of the end of the Repub- lican and Democratic parties. What of Future? The over-stepping of party lines is in the main, according to reports from various states, because of a sharp division between radicalism and anti-radicals, and the ‘ North Dakota fight has its counterparts in a number of states. Other ques- tions have entered in In Califor- nia the prohibition supporters are attacking the Republican candidate for Governor, while in New Jersey they arc opposing Governor Ed- wards, an a vowed “wet”, for senat- or. There is no issue between the “wets” and the “drys” in North Da- kota, but the supporters of light wines and beer, are taking definate stands on 86 candidates for the national congress, without regard to party lines. The national anti- saloon league also has called upon members to disregard party lines. WOMEN ELECT OFFICERS (By the Associated Press) Fargo, N.

Mr. Johnston has returned from Minneapolis, where with B, L./ Sim- mons, manager of the elevator and 10, B. Lund, of the state grain in- spection department, ‘he consulted Mr. Miller, in charge of federal in- spection. They applied for a fed- eral license as a federal warchouse. A representative of the federal de- partment will be here next week, and it is expected the license will be granted. If so, the elevator will use the form of warehouse receipt pre- scribed by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Johnson's Statement. Mr. Johnson in a statement said in part: The Industrial Commission has for several weeks been considering in what way, if at all, it would be pos- ible to formulate a plan to advance money to the farmers who store grain’ in the elevator at Grand’Forks| so as to assist them to meet tempor- ary needs and at the same time to enable them to get the benefit of any, increase in the price of wheat labor. The law at the present time is whol- ly adequate and the assets of the bank wholly insufficient to enable the Industrial Commission, to handle such transactions through the Bank 2f North Dakota. The form of ware- house receipt used in North Dakota, and the circumstances under which such receipts are issued, render such receipts entirely usetess as collaterat security in the financial markets of the country. The Bank of North Dakota has no funds of its own to loan. It has only public funds on deposit which are drawn out for the Manifestly this money could not be used without violating the law and the trust relation created when municipalities deposit money in the Bank of North Dakota. The Bank has no substantial amount of security to from outside sources. The few re- hasbeen our experience with them. We tried all of these expedients and could not arrange a loan.

Nine ot the indicted persons had j others indicted they would do so to- day. Al those taken into custody were released on bail. LaFayette French, United States district attorney for Minnesota, said today that the bonds referred to in the idictments were circulated practically in New York, Chicago and the Twin Cities. “Chicago,” he said, “seems to have been the clearing house. Fully $1,000,000 were circulated in Minne- apolis and St. Paul. These are be- lieved to have been brought here from Chicago by two men who then were aided by local accomplices.” “Some of the buyers undoubtedly had a guilty knowledge that the bonds were stolen. Other persons, however, were no doubt innocent purchasers believing they were ob- tained legitimate securities.” In this connection, 'A. B. Christoe1- son, president of the Midway State Bank of St. Paul, who with the vice president of his bank, were arrested yesterday, declared that his bank had been unwittingly involved in the disposition of stolen bonds through handling them as security for a client in a deal. Arrests in the bond theft case reached ten today when Clarence Radcliffe was taken in custody. He was arrested by deputy United States marshals and lodged in the Minne- apolis city jail, It is‘expected that he will be arraigned today, Postal inspecto#s whose investiga- tions of the two sensational mail robberies which led to the indict- ments of the 26 persons on charges of dealing ‘in. stolen. bonds have un- earthed $750,000 worth of the secur- ities in the Twin Cities, it was said today, by LaFayette French, Jr., United States district attorney. It was estimated that $1,000,000 worth of the securities had been brought to the Twin Cities, so that the inspectors are eredited with find- ing 75 per cent of the loot. The stolen securities ard said to be in a number of banks, where they were put up as collateral on loans or held in block by individuals. The presence of these bonds, it is hinted, may lead to raids on safe- ty depasits and examination of bank accounts by the inspectors. Whether innocent purchasers of the bonds will lose as tHe result of acquiring them remains a question today. {I cannot say offhand whether they will lose or not,” Mr. French declar- ed. “That is a legal question to be taken up latter.” The list of those taken into cus- tody in connectiyn with the bond thefts was swelled to 13 at noon to- day when James Connolly a former | Minneapolis newspaper man, and his wife and Abe S, Ginsberg, an attor- ney, surrendered. Connolly and Ginsberg were releas- ed on $10,000 bond each and Mrs. Connolly was given her liberty un- ‘der bond of $5,000. Additional ar- jrests were expected today, officials | said.

POLICE SAY SOLUTION OF MURDER NEAR Hall-Mills Case Mystery Un- raveling Declare In- vestigators STEVENS CLAIMS ALIBI Declares He was Fishing with Friends in Ocean When Crime Occurred New Brunswick, N. J., Oct. 21— Supported by information in an af- fidavit by a witness to the murders of the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor R. Mills, authori- ties today appeared confident that the mystery soon is to be solved. Detectives were engaged in run- ning down details considered by the officials as essential before making an arrest. Reports of the discovery of @ witness to the double shooting, a, woman of reputable character, were confirmed officially. In a statement given out at his home in LaFallette. N. J. Henry Stevens, crack shot and brother of Mrs, Francis Stevens Hall, widow of the slain rector, discussed the} killing. “There is no blood on my hands,” he declared. “If I had guilty know- lege of this awful thing my con- seience would accuse me without ceasing.” “It is my impression,” he said, “that some of the evil characters who live in certain sections of New Brunswick heard of the town gossip that associated with the names of Dr. Hall and Mrs. Mills . These desparate characters probably de- cided to take advantage of the talk to black mail Dr. Hall.” He pointed out that it js well known that Dr. Hall had money or could obtain, it from friends and that Mrs. Hall was wealthy. “Why Mrs. Mills’ throat was cut is a question for speculation,” he said, adding that this applied also to questions to why the love letters were scattered about and the bodies laid out in an orderly man- ner.” “At the moment these murders were committed,” he concluded, “I was within 100 yards of my home, fishing in the oeean. Several friends were with me from sbout seven until half past ten on that night. At 10:30 we went home where Mrs. Stevens and some friends were awaiting me. Half an hour later my family, including my- self, went to bed.” Working independently of all other investigating forces, Prosecutor Stricker of Middlesex county, today prepared to question at least five per- rons in an effort to obtain sufficient evidence to warrant an arrest in the Hall-Mills murder case. In the meantime Prosecutor Beek- man of Sommerset county, operating on a different tack, was reported to be preparing subpoenaes for witness- es to appear before the Somersey county grand jury at Somerville, Monday. Prosecutor Beekman be- lieven ‘he will be able to present enough information to bring an in- dictment, One of the persons to be called be- fore Prosecutor Stricker today, it was said, was Ralph V. Gorsline, a 'vestryman of the Church of St. John the Evangelist. Mr. Gorsline was re- ported to have been out walking with & young woman member of the church on the night of the murder. Investigations intimate that they have established the motive for the slaying of Rev. Edward W. Hall and his choir leader, Mrs. Eleanor R. Mills, but that their failure to make arrests is due to the fact that some links in their chain of evidence have not ben properly forged, JUDGE BERRY TAKES KAMRATH | MANDAMUS CASE, Judge Berry in Mandan last even- ink took under advisement the case in which William Kamrath of Grant| county seeks to mandamus the audi-| | tor of that county, and the Secretary of State to put his name on the bal-} [lot as a candidate for the legisla- ture. Kamrath’ contention was argued by William Langer, vasile Attorney Gen-; eral Johnson appeared for the of-; ficials. Kamrath’s petition did not com- ply with the law, according to the pdsition of the Secretary of State’s office. Mr, Langer also filed with the su- preme court a petition to mandamus the same parties to put the name of Peter Klieberer on the ballot. There was no hearing because of the other petition pending. If desired, the | court will hear the petition Monday.

All Parties Will Welcome Gen- eral Election in England, Say London Reports (By the Associated Press) Leeds, Eng., Oct. 21.—David Lloyd George, retiring prime minister, speaking at a great meeting of Coal- ition Liberals here this afternoon declared the “banner of party strife” had been hoisted at the recent meet- ing of Conservatives at the Carlton club which voted against continuing the Coalition. Those who were expected a sen- sational announcement from the re- tiring premier were disappointed. There was no suggestion of the for- mation of a new party. Mr. Lloyd George declared the whole bent of his mind was demo- cratic and progressive, and he ar- dently defended the coalition as an instrument by which the country had done ify part in winning the war and through which reconstruction had been effected. “It is for the people of this coun- try,” he explained “to decide wheth- er party comes first or the nation. I stand for the people.” Mr, Lloyd George asserted that the combination which had achieved the victory in the late war had been brought to an end, not because it had ceased to serve the nation but because a party was not getting enough out of it. He then launched into a vigorous defense of his administration in his usual picturesque language, “I have sought honestly, sincerely, and with it my dominant purpoge, to serve my native land to the best of my ability,” said Mr. Lloyd George. in defending his administrative acts “In the war the government did everything it could. I am told ‘you may have been a very good war min ister, but you are no good in peace.’ War is not a bad test, and I have done a few things in peace.” WELCOME ELECTION (By the Associated Press) London, Oct, 21.—All the political parties welcome the prospect of an immediate general election, which it recognized could not have long been delayed in any case. The Conservatives especially feel that it would greatly strengthen their administration if they were able to get a definate mandate from the country. Moreover, formation of the new ministry now would en- tail about fifteen by elections in- volving much loss of time, with the possible prospect of a general election in the near future still confronting them. The Conservative party meeting for the election of Mr. Bonar Law as leader will be held Monday after- noon. This meeting will be follow- ed according to the best informa- tion, by announcement of the dis- solution of parliament either Mon- day night or Tuesday. Expectation continues general that the polling will take place November 18 and it is believed the reconstituted parliment can meet by November 28. If the Conservatives come into power as a result of the election their policy,.will it is declared, not be to aim so much at legislative achievement as to concentrate upon ‘wound ‘administration and econo- my.” ‘Among the chief features of their | foreign policy will be the maintan- ance and strengthening of the en- tente with France and a recasting ‘of the British Near Eastern policy.
