QUESTION HERE “Real Republican” and La- Follette Representatives Will Confer TWO MEETINGS HELD Independent and Nonpartisan League Republicans Split Early Today WITHDRAW OFFER F. A. Vogel, chairman of the LaFollette campaign committee, withdrew an offer made to name # committee to confer with a Re- publican committee on the ques- tion of, the status of presidential electors, shortly after it was made at the state capitol this af- ternoon. The withdrawal left the ques- tion of the naming of a slate of Coolidge presidential electors, and the manner in which LaF lette electors shall be placed on the ballot in the fall election in doubt. The independent Republican members of the state central committee named B. F. Spalding and John Pollock, both of Fargo, chairman and secretary, respec- tively. Mr. Spalding said he would agree to name a successor later, After an exchange of angry re- torts at the opening of a session an- nounced as a meeting of members of the Republican state central embrac- ing those favoring the election of Coolidge and Dawes, the committee got down to the first real business of today’s political conferences here, carly this afternoon. A committee of three was named to confer with a like committee which F, A. Vogel of Coleharbor, chairman of the LaFollette campaign committee, said he was willing to name, to discuss the status of Cool- idge and LaFollette presidential electors. The committees were to meet this afternoon. The Republicans desire that four of the five present Republican electors, held by them to be LaFol- lette. men, shall withdraw, and per- mit avowed Coolidge electors to be named. The LaFollette forces are anxious to have their slate of elect- oral candidates grouped with LaFol- Jette’s name in some manner on the bailot. A number of members of the Re- publican state central committee, duty elected, gathered in the state senate chamber shortly after noon today on the call of a voluntary com- mittee composed of three members. The meeting was called to order by George Robbins of Grand Forks. ,» . Frazier Protests Roy Frazier of Crosby, who has been chairman of the Republican state central committee, injected a protest, declaring he served as state chairman until his successor was chosen, and the committee, after an early meeting, had recessed until 2 p.m. A rather heated colloquy en- sued, during which Frazier asserted he was recognized by the Republi- can national committee. “This gentleman is not a member of this committee. He is a member of another central committee, the old one,” said L. L, Twichell of Far- go. “How the hell do know?” shouted Frazier. Frank Hyland of Devils Lake, Lieutenant-Governor, jumped to his feet. “As long as this lady is here you are not going to use that language,” he declared, “if I have to drag you out.” “I apologize for the languagfe but’ not on account of the threat,” replied Frazier. Mr. Hyland declared the Republi- can central committeemen were you present to do all they could for the and Republican national committee, suggested any not willing to jo’ should leave. Leave Meeting “Let’s go,” said someone, and sev- eral Nonpartisan Leaguers, who are Republican, state committeemen, walked out. The committee proceeded to name George Robbins chairman and John Pollock’ of Fargo secretary. A com- mittee consisting of Jud LaMoure, Walter Bond and A. G. Divet was named to confer with a committee to be named by F. A. Vogel on the question of presidential electors. Other matters to be taken up in the committee under the chairman- ship of Mr. Robbins included the question of who shall be backed by independents, as a candidate. against A. G. Sorlie for Governor—whether it shall be Halvor Halvorson, Dem- ocratic nominee, or some other per- son. Questions Uppermost As the four separate political con- ferences neared an end here today, two questions became uppermost in the minds of the political leaders of be settled in THIRD DAY OF MANDAN FAIR DAWNS BRIGHT Many Fine Livestock Exhibits Are at the Fair, Sec- retary Says The third day of the Missouri Slope Fair, which closes tomorrow, opened in Mandan with a bright sun greet- ing visitors. The first day’s crowd— Monday—was about 3,000 in the day and: 8,000 at,.night,.and. was an un- usually large day, according to Secre- tary Tobin. Yesterdy’s attendance was small, because so many farmers are busy in the fields. The pageant given last night was attended by thousands of people, however. The fair committee is well satisfied with the exhibits. A better swine ex- hibit than ever before is on the grounds, it is stated. Swine from Underwood, Sterling, Edgeley and Flasher are being shown, and cattle exhibited is entered from distances as far as Lewiston, Montana, and Hannaford, North Dakota. There is a fine quality of poultry on exhibit, indicating progress in poultry raising on the Missouri Slope. The woman’s exhibit is declared un- usually good, as is the display of In- dian handwork and farm machinery. Running races are the chief track events of the afternoon. Tonight the pageant is repeated and tomorrow night there is fireworks. The historical pageant depicts ear- ly scenes in Mandan, and the scores of actors in it were greeted with itp- plause last night. o—_ -_____________ ‘ Weather Report | e——_-. oe For 24 hours ending at noon: Temperature at 7 a. m.

Excellent weather for farm work prevailed throughout the week. Har- vesting of all crops except flax has been completed in ‘practically jalk sections; some early flax is being cut. Threshing made rapid progress with good to excellent yields. The hot days during the early part of the week caused corn to develop rapidly. It is mostly in the milk stage, though some is already out of dan- ger of frost. Much potato digging is being done in sections, with good results. Haying is nearing comple- tion. Pastures and ranges need rain in some sections. p Orris W.

Frazier was seriously injured a few months ago in the auto- mobile accident in which Sen- ator B, F. Baker was killed and A. G. Sorlie badly injured, the car turning over while Frazier was driving. Here today for political meet- ings, Frazier told of another ac- cident Saturday night near Hal- liday, in which the roadster he was driving turned over when he came to a sharp curve in the road and could not make it. He was pinned under the car, but managed to free himself and was not injured except for a slight cut on the leg sustained when he wa king his way out. He was driving his car today, with- out a top and with some dents on the fender. RAINFALL IS LIGHTER FOR YEAR T0 DATE North Dakota Raises Fine Crop on Less Than Nor- mal Rainfall Western North Dakota has one of its best crops in years, and on rainfall and other precipitation that is 1.37 inches less than the average for the year. The monthly meteorological sum- mary, issued by the weather bureau today, shows that the total precipita- tion during the month of August was 1.91 inches, which was 0.07 inches less than normal for the month. The a cumulated deficiency in precipitation since the first of the year is given as 1.37 inches. The mild winter and cool summer have brought about an average tem- perature for the year thus far that is but one degree daily above normal, the summary shows. The report shows that August was 1.4 degrees daily cooler than normal for the month. The percentage of sunshine was five below normal. DUNN COUNTY PLANS FAIR ATTRACTIONS Killdeer, Sept. 3.—Arrangements are being made to bring carnival and show attractions to the annual Dunn county fair, which will be held at Killdeer on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Sept. 25, 26, and 27. The premiums are all provided for by the residents:of Killdeer, which bears lal the expenses of the Fair, Dunn being a young county, with np village of over 600 population within its bor- ders, it depends more upon the com- pleteness of its exhibits, than upon the amusement features. Stark Has Bryan-Davis Club Dickinson, Sept. 3.—Stark county Democrats have organized a Davis- Bryan club, with A. C, Pagenkopf as president, Mrs. E. A, Lillibridge vice president, and Miss Eleanor Smith chosen secretary-treasurer, Regular meetings will be held on the second and fourth Mondays of the month. WESTERN N. D, SOON WILL BE FLOURISHING War Finance Representative Says It Will Be Able To Finance Itself POINTS TO PROGRESS Remarkable “Come Back” of District on This Year’s Crop Is Told “The western third of North Da- kota will have enough money to finance itself, except for farm loans after the present crop is marketed, if present prices are maintained,” F. G, Orr, field representative of the War Finance Corporation and pioneer Missouri Slope banker and business man, declared here today. Remarkable improvement in bank- ing conditions is expected by Mr. Orr when the present good crop is har- vested. Three-fourths of the banks will pay off all borrowed money, in- cluding War Finance Corporation loans, and the surplus over reserve requirements will be sufficient to cover the balances which will have to be carried over by about one- fourth of the banks, Mr. Orr added, “So this portion of the state ‘will stand on its own, financially, for the first time in nine years,” the War Finance representative added. “This remarkable ‘come-back’ from one crop is possible because of the fact that farmers’ loans average small in size in this district, and this year’s crop averages very good and prices are fair,” said Mr. Orr. “In fact, there will be many instances this sea- son when the proceeds of the one crop; will be sufficient to pay for the land it is raised on, at present farm land values. Organize Operations “Another big factor is that most farmers in the territory mentioned have organized their farming opera- tions so that they are able to pay the expenses of operation even on poor crops and in poor price years, such as have been experienced,” Mr. Orr continued. This has been done by milking a few cows, raising a few hogs and good flocks of chickens and turkeys, and making their first bus- iness to raise feed for this stock. In addition, as much grain has planted as the power and help on the farm would permit. help has been discontinued and the farming operations reduced to a point where the family does most of the work, The result is that the farmer goes ahead by leaps and bounds, financially, on a good crop and fair) price like the present, and is able to make a wonderful showing in the| reduction of debts.” Increased acreage in corn in the area constitutes one of the chief changes, according to Mr. Orr, He quoted” the manager of the Farmers Elevator at Raleigh as stating that recently his elevator had shipped five cars of 1923 corn, which had netted the farmers over one dollar per! bushel, and the corn had yielded over! 40 bushels an acre. Land Movement There will be a healthy land move- ment in the western one-third of the state, Mr. Orr believes. Purchase: will be confined largely to local farmers who have proved the value of the land by actual experience. Mr. Orr quoted R. E. Trousdale of Mott as stating that last Saturday four different farmers were in to make preliminary arrangements for the purchase of quarter-sections adjpin- ing their present farms and that three of the four said they would have the money to pay cash in full for the land as soon as their crop could be marketed. PRINTER DIES AT CARSON Carson, Sept. 3.—James Fulton, for many years a printer in this vicini died last Thursday, from a comp! tion of diseases from which he suf- fered for more than a year, and which terminated in heart failure. Al- though it was known that he was 2 married man and had two daughters, the whereabouts of his family was not known until the day before his burial. Fulton for some time published the Selfridge Journal, later working on the Shields Enterprise: He re-estab- lished the Leith Index for a short time, but was obliged to suspend publication after a year. When the Shields Enterprise was moved to El- gin, Fulton went with it, and work- ed on it when his health would per- mit.

REDRAFTING ARMS PACT IS NOW TALKED Premier Herriott of France Meets Great Reception in Switzerland Geneva, Sept. 3.—Republican Ge- neva, accustomed to greatness with- in its borders, rarely gets excited over a distinguished visitor, but last night it flung its reserve aside and gave to Premier Herriot, of France, one of the most enthusiastic greet- ings in its history. Huge crowds waited for hours to greet the pre- mier with cries of “Vive Herriot.” Hundreds rushed to him and then, inaugurating a serenade, sought in- sistently, though vainly, to have M. Herriot come to the hotel balcony and make a speech. Redrafting of Pact But there was another ment of great importance, which possessed peculiar American inter- est. This was the redrafting of a pact for disarmament and security by a committee of its American au- thors, who are now in Geneva, and presentation of the new text to M. Herriot. Professor James T. Shot- well and David H. Miller, at the in- vitation of M, Herriot went to Ly- ons to spend two hours explaining the new American draft, which is attracting attention in all the lead- ing delegations.

F., Sept. 3.— (By the A. P.)—The American army aeroplanes on their world flight left here for Pictou, N. F, at 12:40 p.m. It was raining and ‘a south west wind blowing at 30 miles an hour, when the fliers hopped off. The clouds were less than 1000 feet from the surface, and the machine kept a low alti- tude, flying just above the waves. At 12:05 the airmen passed over the cruiser Milwau- kee, 100 miles from the bay. Hawkes Bay, N. F., Sept. 3.—The American world fliers today are one step farther in their task of girdling the world.

D., Sept: 3.— Cracksmen last night ob- tained approximately $8,000 worth of jewelry from the safe of the Albert Johnson jewelry store in Mandan. The loss was discovered about 8 o’clock this morning when employes came to the store to open it for business. Entrance to the store was gained through a transom over the front door which the yeggs “jimmied.” The dial and combination of the safe was knocked off and the vault opened. Approximately 80 watches, which had been left for repair, most of them ex- pensive watches belonging to railroad men, new watches, diamond rings, a large num- ber of gold charms and plati- num pieces were included in the loot. Mr. Johnson. esti- mated his loss at between $7,000 and $8,000. A careful check was being made today. The yeggs previously had broken into the warehouse of the Goodrich Construction Company and obtained the tools used on the job. It is believed that two or three men did the work. No insurance was carried except the detective protec- tion offered by membership in the National Jewelers’ Alliance. URGES CARE IN SCHOOLS Fire Marshal Would Have Danger Minimized F With the opening of school in var- ious parts of the state, State Fire following statement: “The school year has in some cases just begun and all will be in full swing very soon and it is the duty of all those charged with the equipment of all school buildings in this state to carefully inspect the buiféing in their charge to see that everything is in safe condition and especially so before the fires are started a little later on. Furnaces, stoves, elec- tric wiring, heating plants of all kinds in use, fire escapes, doors on all class rooms and especially those leading to fire escapes and exists should be placed in good condition, all opening oytward, us provided by law, and to protect the life and limb of the children and teachers who con- gregate therein. The janitor should be required to remain at the school building during school hours. “Special attention should be given by officers and patrons of schools to see that the provisions of the Laws of the State regarding fire drills in schools are rigidly enforced, and, any clerk who draws a teacher’s salary warrant before such superintendent or teacher has certified that such fire drills have been held, be punished as provided by law. Too little attention is given to this most important mat- ter. Let us all cooperate so that we will have nothing to regret in the way of fire or panic in the schools of North Dakota the coming year and let us begin fire prevention by education rather than by legislation.” Hawks Nest To Be Explored Carrington, Sept. 3—The Hawks- nest, whose summit commands a view of 20 miles around, is to be the scene of explorations conducted by the Men’s club of Carrington, who hope to find some Indian relics of historial interest. The Hawksnest is owned by George Aljets, who has granted permission to the club to make their explorations. Experiments have proved that the earthworm has a memory.
