Ce ee 4 \ ‘SENTIMENT OF LEAGUERS IS FOR MEETING Chairman Calling State Convention After Ascertaining This BISMARCK. IS CHOSEN Fargo, N. D., Aug. 15—Call for 9 nonpartisan league meet Oct. 10 at Bismarck was issued by W. J. Church, chairman of the state executive committee, from the state headquarters in Fargo. Delegates entitled to sit, in tho convention will be those who took part in the convention March, 1922, in Fargo, and in later conventions that summer in Jamestown and early this year in Bismarck. The call mentions among the sub- jects which may be discussed at the convention: Changing the name of the league to the Farmer-Labor party. Entire separation from the National Nonpartisan league at Minneapolis, as | - far as dues are concerned. Designation of a monthly paper as the official paper by the state exec- utive committee. Delegates will be those elected to the convention in March 1922, held in Fargo. Establishment of a daily newspaper as advgeated by U. S. Sen. Lynn J. Frazier’and others, Delegates are urged to consult with their constital nts to get the prevail- ihg sentiment in regard to these and other topics. ‘Demand for a convention was voiced by an insurrection group in Nalley City and by a meeting in Mi- fot Sunday, i } The call issued meets part of the ultimatum of the Valley City group that “unless a convention is called by Aug. 15 for October, they will bolt and form a new party,” but does not meet the requirements that such convention be made up of delegates chosen at county conventions which shall he composed of representatives elected in precincts and that such convention be held in Valley City. The call explains that calls were not issued previously because “your state executive committee has been criticized by some for calling two previous state conventions * * * and from our experience gained from the last one perhaps justly so.” The official call, issued by Mr. Church atshis home at York, through the state headquarters here, follows’ ‘ Official Call “To Fellow members of the Non- partisan League: “There have been two mass meet- ings held in the state, one at Valley City and one at Minot, at both of which & rQquest was made that a state convention be called by the state executive committee to settle certain matters which were left a lit- tle vague, and to bring about a more _ united spirit. . “Your ‘state executive > committee has been criticized_by some for call- ing two previous State conventions— in July, 1922 and in March, 1923 and from our experience gained from the last one ‘perhaps justly so.’ “Your chairman has endeavored to get the general sentiment regarding another convention, and through cor- respondence finds the other~ four members of the state executive com- mittee, evenly divided, two favoring and two opposing a state convention, but in view of the fact that in every case where I wrote League members outside the committee, the sentiment favored a state convention I have cast the deciding vote in fav- or of a convention, in deference both to the sentiment expressed at the two meetings held and individual de- mands for a convention. “The convention is therefore, and hereby called to be held on Wednes- day, October 10 at 9 a, m. at Bis- marck, N. D. The date is set early so’ that delegates can drive from the various counties by auto much cheap- er than by train, especially if they all come in one auto, or two, and the item of expense will be a great fac- tor in determining how many dele- gates .arp. present. Hence I would urge all delegates from the same county to get together and make the trip in.one or two cars, thus keeping the expense ata minimum. ie Ag.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15, 1923 NO WOMAN TO BE PRESIDENT! That’s Belief of First U. S. Mayoress MRS. SUSANNA M. SALTER By Don P. Drohan NEA Service Writer Norman, Okla., Aug. 15.—Ye down- trodden men, fear not! You'll always have a monopoly on the White House. Women, of course, will continue to dwell there as “first ladies,” run- ning all the big social functions and entertaining the folks from back home. But they never will sit at the presidential desk. That much you can take from America’s first. woman mayor, Mrs. Susanna M. Salter, now living here. She was made town boss of Ar- gonia, Kas., 36 years ago, just after the Kansas equal suffrage law be- came effective. And she didn’t do a lick of campaigning. Fact is she didn’t know she was a candidate un- til she started for the polls. “There isn’t a chance in the world of one of my sex ever being chosen president,” she declares. “You know the conventions are dominated by men. And they always will be. “But women will have their flings at practically every other office. Some of these days you'll see one sitting on the Supreme Court bench. I’m-really surprised how they've climbed already. “We've had a woman in the Sen- They’re filling other mighty impor- tant positions, too. stance, Florence E. Allen is a judge in the state’s highest tribunal of justice. “All are making good. They're per- forming their duties as efficiently as their masculine predecessors.” Mrs. Salter doesn’t favor a wo- man’s party. She does think, though, her sisters should band together to study political questiors. Argonia’s first woman mayor at- ttibutes her election to “meddling by the saloon element.” Two men put her name on the ballots, she says, just to teach the W. ©. T. U. a les- son, because they figured she couldn't get moré than a dozen votes. But she rode into office by a two- thirds majority. “A woman, however, must not ne- glect her home for any public office,” asserts Mrs. Salter. “They wanted me to run again, when my first term was nearly over, but I felt my job kept me away from my children too much.” Mrs. Salter was 27 when she was elected. She had four children then. Now she has eight. Her husband, “os -died_ several years ago, was her -mweetheart in college. He was a newspaper editor for many years. ate. ‘We have them in the House. purpose, most sincerely, W. J. Church, chairman state executive committee.” Instructions have been issued to county executive committees regard- ing the state convention. LOCALPEOPLE _ . SEE ACCIDENT AT DETROIT E. V.
