Belief Expressed by Official That This Designation Will Go On Ballot SEPARATE FROM G. 0. P.? The “Nonnartisan party” has come into existence’ in North Dakota as a result of the recent election, in the opinion of M. W. Duffy, deputy sec- retary of state. 4 The fact that William Lemke, with the designating “Nonpartisan” after his. name, received more than 5 per cent of the votes cast for governor, creates the “Nonpartisan party” and entitles it to designation on the bal- lot in the next election, Mr. Duffy. says. This clection’ was the first in which the Nonpartisan league has had a candidate for governor in-the individual column.* — SS Mr. Duffy believes the party desig- nation. must, be- placed on the ballot at the next election if there are candidates desiring to enroll under that name, under the following sec- tion No. ,860, compiled ‘laws of 1913. “Any ’citizen otherwise ¢ligible by law’ affiliated with or representing the principles enumerates in the na- tional platform of the following par- ties, are eligible to nomination un- der this article: The Republican party, the Democratic party, or any party designation that dist 5 per cent of the votés cast for governor at the last general election und it shall be unlawful for any person to call for a vote on a ballot at the primary election herein provided for, except a ballot representing the par- ty or principles with which he af- filiateg, and any person who has reason to believe that the ballot call- ed for by the voter does not chal- lenge them such vote, and he shall not be entitled to cast his ballot. The Nonpartisan league candidates have always heretofore, entered in the Republican column in ‘the pri- mary. Under Mr. Duffy’s construc- tion of law it appears that this right might be challenged, since the “Non- partisan” party was created through the vote of William Lemke, since Lemke in his declaration of yrinci- ples said he adhered to the “Princi- ples of the Nonpartisan league.’ WOMAN DIRS ATER FASTOR - FIFTY DAYS Reno, Nev., Nov, 22—Mrs. Pearl A.

Venizelos, for Greece, imme-; diately opposed the claim and was supported by the Jugo Slavs and Rumanians, who favored maintaining the Marietza river as the western boundary of, Tur-, key in Europe and agreed with him that there should not even be a plebiscite to decide the sov- ereignty of the disputed terri- tory as Ismet suggested. | A delegation representing Syria. } arrived today, temanding that the conference grant independ- ence to their country, which.was | given the status of a French mandatory state by the allied su- preme council at San Remo in 1920.

The Turkish de- legates are considerably agitated over this decision, contending that members of the other delegations are divulging what transpires in conference circles whereas they,| as Mohammaden gentlemen, have; kept their word. “Make peace by Christmas”, is the slogan which is being passed around conference circles, but indications are that the work will be scarcely well begun by that time if the de- legates delve, thoroughtly into the tangled problems which have arisen from the destruction of the severes treaty and the defeat of the Greeks. | The machinery of the present con-| ference will apparently be much the | same as that of the Geona, Hauge | and Aen Hane arene sata “Legislators through the centuries problems are provided for in the | have endeavored to do so but with- preliminary arrangements, | APPEALS MADE FOR HARD COAL Some North Dakota Points} Make Requests | (By the Associated Press.) !

The defendants’ application for! change of venue was on the ground | that none of the defendants lived in Sass county, that two of them resid- ed in Kidder county, the land is; there and most of the witnesses in that county. The state appealed rom Judge Cole's order denying a motion to vacate his order for the change. The state contended that the ex- parte order of July 17, 1922, was in- , valid, for the reason that the defen- | dents never made any demand inj writing for a change of venue in ac- cordance with the statute, and with- out notice to the state so that it} might appear and contest the order. The supreme court opinion states that “in our opinion it was errorous for the trial court to grant a hear- ing to the defendants without notice | to the plaintiff: But upon the motion to vacate the order of the| court the plaintigf did not contro- | verse in any manner, the residence of defendants as claimed in the ap-| plication and affidavit for a change of venue.
