SORLIE BACKS | LAFOLLETTE Candidate Makes For Governor a Statement i | A. G. Sorlie, candidate for Gover- nor, who ‘sometime ago declared he was not interested in national poli- ties, has made a statement in The Normanden, Norwegian newspaper published at Grand Forks, in support of Robert M. LaFollette for the presidency. The story, as translated, follows. “A. G. Sorlie, Republican candidate for Governor, has issued the follow- ing declaration concerning his inten- tion to support Senator Robert M. LaFollette in his campaign for the Presidency: ““A few weeks ago I made the de- claration that I would not take an active part in the national political campaign, But now when the LaFol- lette electors have been eliminated from the Republican column and put into the LaFollette column, I have become so situated that I can declare that I intend to take part in national politics, and in the interest of Ro- bert M. LaFollette, too. “Hitherto there was no choice, We have people in this state who wished to vote for Coolidge but they had no opportunity to do so. The majority to our people are for LaFollette, be- cause he has ulways been a progres- | sive, and always fought for just: what we in North Dakota ae al- ways fought for. “As the case now stands, ‘the na- tional political fight will rest on a just foundation, and as a follower of LaFollette I crave ‘fair play.’ The followers of Coolidge will now have an opportunity to vote for Coolidge, and to know for whom they vote. Thus the followers of LaFollette cannot be accused of profiting un- justly. From now on the national campaign will be fought on , pro- gressive lines, and I have no fear about the results as far as LaFol- lette is concerned.” Woinan Held For Murder in Death of Child Beach, N. D., Sept. 9,—Mrs. Elsie Houghtaling, whose small daughter died about a month ago of bodily in- juries alleged to have been inflicted by William Holland, who is in jail here charged with first degree mur- der in connection with the child’s death, has been held for a trial on a murder charge also.

Manchurian dictator, to the foreign consuls at Mukden that he feels com- pelled to prepare against two devel- opments, in themselves not related, are taken here to indicate the proba- bility of the whole north becoming implicated. The foreign legations considered the situation serious enough to reiterate their communica- tions of a week ago to the foreign of- fice insisting on protection of for- eign interests and suggested the es- tablishment of a neutral Woosung and Shanghai. The opportunity afforded by the general unrest is being improved by radical elements, alleged to be prompted by Moscow, to give a for- eign imperialistic twist to events, in order to arouse an anti-foreign agi- tation. A group of self-styled “the anti- imperialists league” composed of students and a few radical members of parliament have circulated in- flammatory circulars which the press has taken as the intention of profit- ing by the war to partition China, Japan, this dispatch charges, will dominate Manchuria and Great Bri- tain, Douth China, The Yi Shih Pao, one.of the leading Chinese pa- pers, discredits the whole story as a piece of Bolshevik propaganda for the consumption of the masses of China, The newspaper expresses the belief that China has nothing to fear while the Washington treaty remains operative.
