ESTABLISHED 1873 LAFOLLETTETS HIT AS THIRD PARTYEMERGES ; Farmer - Labor Gathering in St. Paul Hears Keynote From William Mahoney ’ peas ‘SAYS THE TIME IS RIPE Thinks: That Time Has Ar- rived When Old Parties Can Be Disrupted St. Paul, June 17.—A purpose to organize a new national political party, despite “the cruel and un- warranted attitude of Senator La- Follette,” was expressed at the opening today of the National Farm- er-Labor, Progressive convention by William Mahoney of St. Paul, tem- porary chairman of the gathering. Mr. Mahoney reviewed the history of the Farmer-Labor party in Min- nesota, told the delegates that the time was “auspicious to disrupt the old parties” and urged them to act in unity so as “to end the reign of the exploiter.” “This is not primarily a LaFollette movement, but a working class move- ment with LaFollette as an import- ant factor,” he said. “When this convention was first projected last November,” he told the delegates, “it was never realized that such di- verse obstacles would be encounter- ed. It was thought that it was the thing that every progressive clement in America wanted. LABOR-COMMUNISTS FIGHT St. Paul, June 17.—Aside from the undisputed fact that the National Farmer-Labor Progressive conven- tion would be called to order, there was nothing certain about the gath- ering early today. Rumors were plentiful, ranging from a harmon- ious three or four days of deliber- ation to an open split with either the Union Labor and Farmer groups or the representatives of the Com- munist organizations bolting. Pre-convention facts showed these two elements in a bitter struggle for control of the body. They split rather definitely yesterday on the question of definite organization of a national party with a ticket to present to the voters. The Communists course, but the more adherents of the movement prefer- red that this convention only in- dorse Senator La¥ollette as a pres- idential possibility and attempt 4 coalition with the July 4 Cleveland conference. Minority and majority reports of the committee on ar- rangements, embodying these diver- gent ideas, will be presented to the convention and fought out on the floor. -The adherents of the Moscow In- ternationale were in the minority of the committee on arrangements but were sufficiently strong to block an attempt to have only the majority report given the convention. William Mahoney, St. Paul labor leader and acknowledged czar of the Minnesota Farmer-Labor party and temporary chairman of the con- vention, openly feared that the ul- tra-reds had edged into the delega- tions from various industrial groups in sufficient numbers to control a majority of the organization. Their formal organization, The Workers Party and the Federated Farmer- Labor Party, are entitled to only five votes each out of a total con- vention voting strength of 977. The convention call gave definite strength to each delegation but did not limit the size of these groups. ‘Members of some, therefore, will cast only fractional votes, but on the smaller delegations each indivi- dual will have privilege of plural voting. It was this condition which caused the more conservative to ap- pear doubtful over the outcome of the fight for control. TAXPAYERS MUST DECIDE MILL’S FUTURE Rep. P, G. Harrington, Independent candidate pr state senator, speaking at a meeting in Florence Lake town- ship last night, declared that tax- payers must decide the future of the Grand Forks state mill and elevator because they are paying the bill. \ “The citizens of this state are ‘ now interested in this venture to the amount of nearly $4,500,000, and are adding thousands ‘of dollars in losses to’ that amount every month,” he said. “The taxpayers, which represent you and me, must pay the bill, so we must decide its future.” He said a complete statement of conditions at the mill should fre- quently receive broad circulation, until a reasonable time to become familiar with conditions has been had, and then an initiated measure must decide. its future. He dedlared the administration was making a sincere effort to give it a fair trial: i BANK CLOSES . Minneapolis, June 16.—The First National Bank of Lidgerwood, N.

CORBIN) OF EPISCOPAL FOR SHOOTING) CHURCH ENDS States Attorney of Emmons! County Informs Authorities Action Was Taken TO AWAIT RESULTS Charge Probably Not To Be Pressed Until Victim’s Con- dition Is Determined George Corbin, Emmons county farmer, to be charged with shooting with intent to kill Joseph Mills, a neighbor, by Charles Coventry, states attorney of Emmons county, the latter informed John Thorpe, First. As: nt Attorney-General, over the telephone. ‘Coventry said officers went to Corbin’s place, near Livona, yesterday afternoon to get him. Corbin will plead self-defence, the states attorney said. The elderly mer was said by the states at- torney to havt admitted the shoot- ing, but declared that he shot in self-defense, that Mills, who was fishing, was trespassing on his land, and that Mills and his com- panions threatened to attack him. This story is directly opposite to that told by Mills’ friends who asserted that the attack came while Mills in a boat and the three companions were some distance awa The charge made against Corbin was for the purpose of holding him in jail or on bond, pending the out- come of the injuries to Mills, who is in a local hospital. Mills’ shot in the head with a shotgun at close ‘ange, was resting fairly well, and it was thought that he would re- cover unless complications ensue. He will not be out of danger for several days, however. Although he concious when was only - partly brought here late Sunday, he has recovered full conciousness, and is seen by friends, JOIN IN DAIRY TOUR ON SLOPE Burleigh County and _ Bis- marck Ig Well Represented in Flashtr-New Salem Tour SOUTH DAKOTANS JOIN The Burleigh County Cow Testing Association and Bismarck were rep- resented at Flasher today at the beginning of the annual tours of the Flasher and New Salem Holstein Cireuits.
