Wheeler of Montana, who won national distinction by his conduct of the Senate Daugh- erty investigation, accepted the Vice-Presidential nomination on the Senator LaF cllette Independent tic- ket today and immediately began his campaign with a broadside against the political affiliations of Calvin Coolidge and John Davis. “I am a Democrat, but not a Wall Street Democrat,” he said in a letter formally aecepting the nomination tendered him by the group of LaF cllette leaders in con- ference here. “The Démocratic party,” he con- tinued, “has wantonly abandoned an opportunity for great public service and both it and the Re- publican party have ignored the call of the unorganized millions who are the victims of the pres- ent economic disorders.” Wheeler’s Statement Senator Wheeler's acceptance and denunciation of the two old line parties were embodied in ‘a letter to William H.

Logically, voters think that if a man is too lazy to care for his own health, he will be too lazy to care for the pubiic business. So if you would roll up ; big vote keep down your waist ine.

D., July 19—Farmers in northern Burleigh county favor a corn and stock show and fair. This was evidenced by interviews given a Tribune representative by represen- tative farmers in attendance at the Old Settlers picnic in Arena grove yesterday afternoon. There is some variance as to the details only; all agree that to pro- mote the interests of the county generally there should be an agri- cultural exposition. Interviews with farmets follow: Carl Shopp of Arena township— “We are interested in having a corn and stock show in Burleigh. I have been raising- corn for the last three years, and believe that its develop- representative ment in the county is worth while.”! Henry McKlusky of Wing—“A corn and stock show is one of the things that Burleigh county is especially in need of.” Henry Olson, Christiania town- ship—“A fair or stock show for this county would prove a good thing in getting the farmers more interested in diversification.” John Birkeland, of Driscol—“Yes, I am entirely for having a corn and stock show in this county. We should have had one before.” H. N. Nelson, Driscoll—In the in- terest of progress it would seem necessary that we have a fair or stock show in Burleigh.” George Anderson, Wing—“ We ought to have a general fair, but not until next year. It is an ex- cellent plan to stimulate interest in efficient methods of farming, and everybody likes a fair.” Christ Judson of Lein township— “The last of September or the first part of October would be a good time to have a fair or better, a.corn and stock show.” George Rants of Wilton—“I think a corn and stock’ show would be a good thing for the county, and I believe that the farmers out my way would be strongly in favor of having one.” ; W. E. Nichols of Moffit—“Bur- j leigh county could do nothing bet- ter than have a corn and stock show. If the people get behind it there is no doubt that it would be a suc- cess.” Ole Spilde of Driscoll—“I strong- ly favor having a fair in Burleigh. As a rule you'll find the farmers backing that kind of a movement.” SHAVER HEADS DEM CAMPAIGN New York, July 19—Selection of Clem L, Shaver of West Virginia as chairman of the Democratic nat- ional comihittee, was announced by John W..

Phillips, of Georgia; his brother, Charles Phillips, Jr., of Atlanta; Frank T. Sullivan of Buffalo and Charles S. Shotwell of Indianapolis, of charges of conspiracy in the sale of government surplus lumber. During the trial, which began 10 weeks ago, directed’ verdicts of ac- quittal were awarded in the case of two other defendants named in the indictment returned in the govern. ment prosecution and charging con- spiracy to defraud the government in the sale of surplus lumber from army cantonments built during the war.

Chambers, a government inspector, has since died, and Gus Eitzer and M. A. Towart, Jr., of Pensacola, Fla., and Roland Perry, of Washington, D. C., have not yet been brought to trail. Doubt was expressed in coart circles wheth- er, in view of yesterday's verdict, the latter trio ever would be tried on the indictment.

Concession to France The agreement on the preserva- tion of the rights of the signator- ies to the Versailles treaty was a concession to Premier Herriot of France and in effect it preserves | the right for separate action on the part of France.

After committee number one in which the debated issues have been causing delay had reached an s| Burleigh county last night, reports to {Monday: Upper Mississippi Valley, agreement the French premier au- thorized a statement that he was ighly pleased with the progress the conference.

The Grove furnishes a good place fer the enjoyment of picnic lunch- es, and a large number of people arrived before noon, bringing their eats with them, and spending the day at the grounds. Besides the airplane rides taken by a large group, the feature of the afternoon program was the baseball game, between Wing and Driscoll resulting in a 7 to 5 score in favor of Wing. It was a fast game of ball, the two nines being quite evenly matched, although Wing had slightly the edge on Driscoll throughout, setting a fast pace for their opponents. “Sandy,” the horse belonging to V. P. Heaton of Wing, won the horse race, in which there were three entries, and for which there was a $25 purse. He was ridden by Leslie Hull of Driscoll. The other two entries both belonged to Mike Hyde, with his daughter, Kather- ine Hyde riding one, and Rueben Stohler, the other. A tug-of-war with two sides chosen on the spot, was won by the side which had the most baseball players, for the spikes in their shoes gave them something of an advantage over the other side. Dancing in the pavilion in the late afternocn and throughout the evening attracted a 'arge number of couples, live peppy music being provided by Dutton’s orchestra. The high wind in the afternoon put a little damper on the airplane rides, given by Harry Potter in his new Standard machine, but the wind died down in the evcning, and the plane was kept husy taking care of the would be passengers.

Both Dunn Center and Dickinsof, the two sections west of the Missouri River in southwes+ tern North Dakota, reported Tain. With the forecast being for prob- able local thunderstorms again to- night, and with showers at various points the previous night, it is indi- cated by the weather reports that most of North Dakota has received moisture which insures a fine grain crop from this standpoint. Some points report that the crop is en- tirely safe from the standpoint of moisture, especially the early sown wheat, and bumper crops are virtual ly assured in many sections, while others now have no complaint of lack of rain. Bismarck, Dunn Center and Dickin- son reported from one-fifth to one- quarter of an inch of rain, while Napolean, where rain .was reported the night previous, suid there was one-fifth of an inch of. rain. The heaviest rain reported by pri- vate sources was from Washburn, the Soo line being informed it rained almost two inches there. The night previous Linton reported 1.55 inches of rain, which put Emmons county in the clear as far as moisture is con- cerned. Z While it already had been reported that early sown crops in most local~ ities were not needing moisture, the rain‘ last night caused a great wave of optimism among those familiar with conditions over the western half of the state.
