P.)—The Ku Klux Klan and the League of Nations remained today the only stumb- ling blocks to an agreement of the Democratic platform builders. with prohibition, agriculture On all other planks, including even those dealing and transportation, the plat- form committee of the Democratic national convention was in accord. On the Klan more than 20 hours of deliberation was spent in sub-committee and four hours of argument last night in the committee. The platform committee toiled over the party’s s declara- tion until nearly 3 o’clock this morning before giving up its effort to complete its work. It finally adjourned, however, until 2 p. m. today, after instructing the drafting committee \ to meet at noon for another attempt to reach an agreement “on the Klan and League issues. Thirty-five or more planks had been put into place when the com- mittee adjourned and little difficul- ty was encountered until the Klan and League questions were reached. Meeting last night after the ma- *« dority and minority reports on the two most troublesome planks, the full committee took up the less con-| troversial sections and found little trouble in agreement. The Principa} Plank The first and principal plank, as reported by the sub-committee and) approved, deals with “Republican in- efficiency and. corruption,” charging the present administration with fail- ure and accusing it of “attempting to impede and stop” the Senate in- vestigations. Reference is made es- pecially to the Teapot Dome, Daugh- erty and, Veterans Bureau . investi- gations and to the-charges against Republican members of Congress, which followed the grand jury in- quiry into the Veterans Bureau sit- uation. For relief of agriculture, the com- mittee would pledge the party to foster creation of national cooper- ative marketing associations and cor- porations to’ increase export of farm products; to take steps to bring ag- riculture to a parity with other in- dustries, to make reduction of trans- portation costs on products through development of international water- jays and to remove for revision of he tariff and of ‘rail and water transportation rights. It also calls for an international policy of co- operation designed to revive Amer- ican exports of Europe, asserting that Republican policy has had an opposite effect to accomplishing economic rehabilitation. The sub-cdmmitteee law enforce- ment declaration was revised by the committeee to make the subject ap- ply directly to prohibition. It also assails the Republican enforcement record but avoids specific reference to the 18th amendment and the Volstead act. Other Planks Other planks approved include: Readjustment of rail tariff sche- dules, abolition of the railroad labor board and. repeal of the rate sec- tions of the transportation act. Further reduction of federal tax- es. Revision tariff law. Public control and cancellation of all oil leases. Provision for drafting material resources as well as man power in case of war. Reduction of armament on and sea, Facilitation of steady employment for labor. Independence for the Philippines. Development of Muscle Shoals to educe the cost of fertilizer.

Miss Palmer recently left for Glasgow, Scotland, to attend the World Sun- day School convention, going short- ly after she announced her candi- dacy for the state office.

Several prominent men addressed the gathering, the principal speak- er being Dr. Don McMahan, state agent in veterinary science at the North Dakota Agricultural _col- lege. “The Importance of Com- munity Testing Work” was the subject Dr. McMahan — spoke on, emphasizing the necessity for the community testing work in improv- ing the herds. Mr. Bell J. L. Bell, of this city, talked on what the circuit means to the bus- iness interests of Bismarck. The value of the testing service to the members of the circuit was dis- cussed by L. J. Garske; while Chris. Yegen spoke on the value of the testing service in the future, in the elimination of “non-productive cows. He stressed the value of right feeding in obtaining the best results, and in increasing the but- ter fat content. All the events scheduled in the program of races and contests were run off as planned, with, the excep- tion of the horse race, for the fast- est walking team, in which race there were no entries. The other races, including two horse races, several running races for both men and women, a horse shoe pitching contest, a pie eating contest for the boys, and a business men’s race, provided a varied and interesting program for all pre- sent. The Juvenile band played a pro- gram much appreciated by the pic- nickers, who complimented the boys highly. A Clown band, the mem- bers dressed in black and white composed of several of the young men cf Bismarck, also favored the company with several selections, Mayor Presides Mayor A. a Lenhart presided as judge of the evénts; J. P. French was starter, while A. F. Bradley, secretary of the Association of Commerce, presented the prizes. L. J. Garske was general chairman representing the circuit. F. A. Copeland was in charge of the transportation, being assisted by several members of his firm. The Walworth brothers Albert Zen- zel, and F. J. Splonkowski, of Brad- dock, all members of the circuit, managed the work of the refresh- ment stand, Members of the circuit were so enthusiastic over the spirit engen- dered by the get-together day, that they voted to make the picnic an annual affair. They are even plan- ning to have another picnic late in the summer, or early in the fall. U.© T, PICNIC PLANS MADE All Members of U. C. T.

P.)—Pausing in the midst of bitter contention of its favorites | of the hour, the Democratic national convention today united in a color-, ful tribute to its fighting Jeagernie of the past. While a band in a far gallery lage ed “Should Old Acquaintance Be Fo: got” delegates from every stood on their chairs and cheered the names of James M. Cox of Ohio, the party standard bearer in the desvs' ate and disastrous battle of four years ago. It was a tribute paying the tribute of democracy to the former Ohio Governor to stem the mighty tide of 1920. Ohio led in the demonstration, which lasted for a quarter of an hour after Mr. Cox’s name had been plac- ed in nomination for the presidency by Newton Baker, Wilson’s war-time secretary of war, who himself re- ceived a rousing weleome and re- ceived praise for the Wilson policy and the League of Nations.

As for the House, several upsets have taken place that leave that situation undetermined. Independ- ents picked two members in La-* Moure, one in Wells, one in Mor- ton, and lost one in Benson and one in Barnes. The Independents had control of the House two years ago by a vote of 58 to and have so far bettered their position though returns from several close districts remain unaccounted for. In the 39th district, List, Inde- pendent, has carried Bowman and Golden Valley counties, while Wog, Leaguer, has carried Slope and Bill- ings counties, but the vote is not complete enough to indicate the out- come, Kitchen, Shafer Strong With the governship determined at- tention centered on the other two state industrial commission places, and unless Sorlie’s margin exceeds the figure that is regarded as like- ly both George Shafer and Joseph Kitchen, Independents, are in an ad- vantageous position. For instance, returns from a group of séven counties that have reported the complete vote on the three places—Governor, Attorney- General and Commissioner of Agri- culture and Labor—both League candidates are falling behind Sor- lie, while both Independent candi- dates are running ahead of Nestos. These counties—Ransom, Steele, Eddy, Foster, Griggs, Logan and Sheridan—gave Nestos 5,708 and Sorlie 6,345. , In the same counties, Shafer had 5,828 and Thoresen, Leaguer, had 5,781, the Sorlie majority of 637 be- ing converted into a Shafer margin of 47, or, in other words, Shafer picked up a total of 684 in this group of counties that cast about 11,500 votes. At that rate, if main- tained, he would be nominated. ‘For Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor, Kitchen had 6,098 to 5,667 for Church, or a lead of 431 votes, representing a net gain of 1,068, also sufficient, if maintained, to off-set the final plurality that Sorlie will have in the, state. Steen was running behind Poin- dexter by 198 in the same counties for state auditor Vote by Districts The vote by Congressional tricts follows: First district, total precincts 586, heurd from 553—Moe 1,461; Nestos 26,393; Sorlie 18,030.
