Y., Sept. 25 —Theodore Roosevelt, assist- ant Secretary of the Navy, was nominated for Governor by the New York Republican state convention here today. The choice was made upon the first ballot. Col. Roosevelt had a ma- jority over the combined vote for three of his competitors, Col. William Hayward, of New York; District Attorney Guy Moore of Buffalo and Supreme Court Justice Ar- thur S. Tomkins of Nyack. LAFOLLETTE IS GIVEN PRAISES BY MR. VOIGHT Congressman From Wiscon- sin Speaks in Patterson Hall in Campaign OTHERS ON PROGRAM Congressman Edward Voigt of ‘Wisconsin opened the speaking cam- paign for the La¥ollette-Wheeler presidential ticket in this section of the state with an address in Patter- son Hall last night. He will deliver several addresses in this section of the state in the next several days. Congressman Voigt occupied con- siderable time in a defense of La- Follette against the accusations made against him, referring particularly to charges that LaFollette is a radi- cal and that he seeks to break down the Constitution through an attack on the Supreme Court. In answering the first charge, the Congressman went back to the revol- utionary war and asserted that all people who had promoted changes in government were assailed as radicals. He declared he hesitated to vote for a@ man who is not accused of being a radical, because, he said, if the charge is not made he has a feeling that the candidate is serving the vested interests. Senator LaFollette, he said, pro- posed to change the Constitution to provide that yen Congress passes an act and it Is declared unconstitu- tional by the supreme court, and a succeeding Congress passes the act, it may not be declared unconstitu- tional. The change in the Constitu- tion, he asserted, could only be made by a change of votes of the people. He declared many are saying that the power of the supreme court must be curbed, and that he feels that in many decisions the supreme court . has gone beyond the power the Con- Btitution intended it should have. Sinclair Talked Congressman J, H. Sinclair of the Third North Dakota district preced- ed him, He referred briefly to an explanation F. A. Vogel, LaFollette campaign manager, gave of the elec- toral situation, declaring that if the Republican electors can be with- drawn he did not see why he, Sin- clair, could not be withdrawn from the Republican ticket, since he might vote for President if the matter went to Congress on a deadlock. S. A. Olsness, Commissioner of In- surance, talked briefly upon state is- sues, urging support for the Nonpar- tisan League-indorsed ticket. Mr. Vogel, in opening the meeting, talked briefly upon the electoral sit- uation, giving his version of it. He declared they had agreed to remove the electors from the ballot in spite of assertions they never intended to. He called M. R. Freerks of James- town, quoted as saying that Vo- gel had said he never intended fo! withdraw them, ag a “common liar.” He said they agreed to withdraw the electors providing the LaFollette electors could get the same consid- eration as the Coolidge, Davis elec- tors. He charged the Secretary of State changed the form of ballot two or three times, and that in justice to the LaFollette candidacy he could not withdraw them, Mr. Vogel washed his hands of the electoral situation, saying that he was through with it and, the Repub- lican electors were left with the Re- publican state committee to do as they see fit.

Aboard Dawes Special, enroute to Minnesota, Zumbrota, Minnesota, Sept. 25—(By the A. P.)—Senator LaFollette, independent candidate for President, was charged by Char- les G. Dawes, Republican vice-presi- dential nominee, in a series of Minn- esota speeches today, with having “attacked the Constitution of the United States in order to obtain Socialist support.” “Robert M. LaFollette, in order to get the Socialists, masked himself behind the red flag into his combin- ation to attack the Constitution of the United States,” Mr. Dawes de- clared. “That doesn’t go out in this section of the country, for there is no radicalism in the west. What they call radicalism in the west is merely a desire to improve condi- tions.” Mr. Dawes made this declaration in an address at Rochester and con- tinued the attack on the LaFollette candidacy as he traveled northward toward Minneapolis in rear platform speeches listed for Zumbrota, Red Wing and South St. Paul.

Vogel CALLED tv) PHONE Statement Exacted For Him To Head off Lemke Can- didacy for Governor Nonpartisan League leaders here in efforts to head off filing of peti- tions placing William Lemke in the race for Governor cracked the whip over the head of A. G. Sorlie, Lea- gue candidate for Governor. Demands were made on Sorlie, it is understood, to make a flat-footed declaration for Senator LaFollette for President. Heretofore, Sorlie ‘had made but one declaration in his favor, a statement published prema- turely and predicated on the with- drawal of the four Republican elec- tors by the LaFollette forces, which has not been done. In a speech at a League picnic at Dunn Center Sun- day, according to the official report in the North Dakota Nonpartisan, he did not mention LaFollette. F, A. Vogel, LaFollette campaign manager and active leader in the Nonpartisan League, in defending Sorlie, told an audience here that he had got Sorlie on the telephone. “Mr. Sorlie said recently in a statement that since the LaFollette clectors were withdrawn he could de- clare for LaFollette. I talked with him and he now says that regardless of the four electors being on the ballot, because of the manipulation and unfairness, in every speech from now on he is 100 percent for LaFol- lette. He said he spent several hours in the LaFollette headquarters re- cently in Chicago going over mat- ters.” soe LEADERS BUSY | & Filing of petitions bearing more than the necessary 300 names were expected to place William Lemke of , Fargo, former Attorney-General, in the race as a “LaFollette-Wheeler, Progressive” candidate for Governor, until titions must be filed in the office of the Secretary of State not later than 5 o'clock today. Strenuous efforts were made by leading Nonpartisans to prevent the filing of the names, R. W. Frazier, rhemper of the Nonpartisan League State Executive Committee, said he talked with Lemke by telephone and E. J. Pepke, league campaign manag- er, said that he had talked with C. C. Lauder of Jamestown, a Lemke backer. It also became known that United States Senator Lynn J. Fra- zier, who is campaigning for Robert M, LaFollette in Illinois, was asked to stop the filing of Lemke petitions. Sorlie’s Promise F. A. Vogel, LaFollette campaign manager, informed a conference here that A. G. Sorlie, Republican-Non- partisan candidate for Governor, had informed him that from now pn he would be 100 percent for LaFollette in his speeches. This was taken in political circles to mean that Sorlie, whom Vogel said he tulked to on the telephone, had been asked to make]; a flat declaration for LaFollette in order to discourage the candidacy of Lemke. At noon today both the LaFollette and League headquarters were quiet, except for stenographers and a few of the leaders. Elector Situation The presidential clectors situation also was unsettled at noon today. Five Republican electors, four of whom are known as LaFollette men, were in position to go on the ballot. Resignations declared to have been given by the four to R. W. Frazier, chairman of the Republican state committee as controlled by the Non- partisén League, were returned to them, he said yesterday. Both Fra- zier and F. A. Vogel said at noon to- day that there would be no move made by them toward removing the four alleged LaFollette inclined elec- tors from the Republican column. Meanwhile preparations were un- der way to file a set of five out and out Coolidge presidential electors in the individual column and also a new set of five LaFollette electors in the individual nominations column. When the Secretary of State’s of- fice received from John Pollock of Fargo, secretary of the Real Republi- can state committee, petitions plac- ing five Coolidge electors in nomin- ation, it was said at that office that they could not be filed under the designation “Coolidge Republicans” as called for in the petitions, since Coolidge was in the Republican col- umn, unless the Republican national committee declared that the electors in the Coolidge column did not rep- resent him, The petitions were taken from the office by E. T. Burke of Bismarck, who planned to return them later af- ter telephonic conversations with Coolidge backers in Fargo. LaFollette Set F. A. Vogel, in preparing to file a set of LaFollette electors in the in- dividual column, said he had been in- (Continued on page 8) is announcement in Fargo.

D., Sept. 25.—No more cars of grain may be billed to Grand Forks over the Great Northern for the purpose of inspection and to await orders, according to an order ued Tuesday morning and which is understood to be temporary to permit the yards here to be cleared of louded grain cars. A similar order, abolishing the privilege of billing loaded grain cars to Minnesota points for sampling and inspection, was issued by the Great Northern, with the consent of the Northwest Regional advisory board, a week ago because of the glutted condition of sidings at these } places. The privilege granted by the road of stopping cars here for inspection by the state mill and the Rus: Miller Milling company, and possibly sending them on after a delay of from one to three days, is said to have been abused by dealers, with a resultant slowing up of grain car movement. With an almost unprecedented movement of grain to terminal mar- kets at this time, the problem of keeping the traffic moving and re- turning the cars to the grain dis- tricts as speedily us possible is one that the roads are trying to meet as efficiently as possible, it is said, and the abolition of the inspection privilege at Grand Forks and at the four or five Minnesota points, in- cluding Sandstone, St. Cloud, Cass Lake and Willmar is said to be in line with the solving of this prob- lem. On Monday, 2,152 loaded cars of grain were hauled into Duluth, and 1,647 cars into the Twin Cities.
