The University team arrived on the field at 2 p. m, with 500 rooters from Grand Forks giving them a tremendous cheer. The Bison fans arose when the University band played thier alma mater. Cheer leaders of both schools were work- ing their charges to the utmost. Chicago, Nov. 1.—-An_intersection- al battle, four western conference games and a non-conference game were on the midwest footbal) menu today.‘ The piece de resistance was the struggle of Illinois and Iowa at Urbana for the western conference crown. Illinois’ championship aspirations were at stake while Iowa had a golden opportunity to attain undying gridiron fame by stopping Harold “Red” Grange, whose slashing runs it upset last year. Iowa had virtually the same lineup today. Coach Bert Ingwerson of the Hawkeyes, former pupil of Bob Zup- pke, Illinois mentor and coach of Grange on the Illinois freshman team, relied on a heavy and power- ful line to smash the Illinois in- terference before it formed. Notre Dame was favored to win over Georgia Tech at South Bend, spite the fact that Coach Rockne / two substitutes in place of Capt. Walsh, center, and quarter- back, Stuhldreher, Big Ten championship significance hovered over Purdue’s meeting with Chicago on Stagg field here. The Boiler Makers in previous years have thrown scares into Stagg men because of the injuries to Maroon men that have invariably resulted. Coach Stagg plans a punching game and stiff defense to overwhelm Purdue's fast offense. Michigan hopes to continue its ysomeback started last week in «its “meeting with Minnesota at Minnea- polis. Possession of Michigan’s “little brown jug” was the prize of battle, since both were temporarily out of the Big ‘Ten scramble because of defeats. A. C. UNIVERSITY MEET Fargo, Nov. 1,—Ideal footbali weather greeted large crowds of students here today for home-coming and the annual clash between the North Dakota Agricultural College and the University of North Dakota, A gigantic parade of Bison alumn and students met the university tri at 11:45 and conducted them to a ho- tel and to the campus. Both teams are confident of victory. The kick- off will be negotiated at 2 o’clock so as to give ample opportunity for ela- borate home-coming formations for both schools, INTERSECTIONAL CLASH Cartier Field, South Bend, Ind, Nov. 1.—Adding a representative football eleven of the south to their list of victims, was what Coach Knute Rockne and his band of grid- ders sought to do today when they took formation against Georgia Tech, in Notre Dame's third success; ive weekend intersectional struggle. 80,000 SEE GAME Yale Bowl, New Haven, Conn.

C. Converse, st tax commis- missioner, in today further explaining remarks made in a speech here on the tax reduction | law to be voted on said: “I notice that certain of my re- marks made at the high school audi- torium on Tuesday night were quot- ed in a news dispatch, and therefore perhaps Igshould correct a statement carried in the dispatch concerning the extent to which it would be pos- sible for the legislature to temper the effect of the initiated measure by a majority vote. What I said is op- en to the inference that it would be possible for the legislature, by a majority vote, to increase the county tuition tax, which is now one half mill, and use the additional revenue thus rerived in such a way as to aid such school districts as find their operations crippled by the reduction in the general tax levy. Legislative Power “It is true that the legislature could by a majority vote increase the county tuition tax levy, but such ac- tion would not, I th increase the amount of money which school boards could spend beyond the limit next Tuesday, the initiated which provides that, no board shall cause or permit expenditures to be made or contracted for “in excesp of the amount that would be available for expenditure upon collection of the full amount of the levies herein provided for, plus any other moneys, fees, fines, penalties, interest or in- come available under laws now in force.” Note particularly the words “under laws now in force.” I doubt if amending the county tuitjon tax law, which is a law now in force, so as to increase its yield of revenue would, on account of the provision just referred to, increase the amount which school districts would be per- mitted to spend. On the contrar: the intention of the initiated me sure seems to be that added revenue ‘from sources other than the direct property tax shall not increase the amount which public boards may spend beyond an amount equal to that which could be derived from the of the American Legion to give the Armistice day address in Dickinson! o :, November 11, the com-! mittee in charge of the program has announced.

This is in line with a policy being adopted by the principal d of the state. Copy that has previously appeared .or copy which makes a straightforward appeal for votes will be accepted, Copy urging voters to vote will be acceptable. Eleventh hour attacks through the newspaper gives the other side no time to answer or place arguments before the voters in rebuttal. The Tribune management believes this policy will be approved by the | political managers of all factions as well as by the great body of voters.

' Refuse Firpo Indictment New York, Nov. 1—A federal grand jury today refused to indict Luis Angell Firpo, accused by Canon S. Chase of having committed per- jury when he came te this country from the Argentine last summer. 'RADIO, MOVIES FURTHER MANY NEW METHODS Old Familiar Strategems of Managers Are Adorned By New Touches WINDING UP TODAY Davis and Wheeler in New York, and Dawes Is Speaking in Indiana Washington, Nov. 1 (By the A. P.) —The great American political class- ic of 1924 is approaching its day of decision in a shower of sharp words and a fog of rival predic- tions. In its final stages it has brought into play all the old familiar strate- gems, modernized to fit an age of radio, movies and senatorial inves- tigations and laid out on a new scale to appeal to every remote sub- division of the ever-growing Amer- ican electorate. The last day of active campaign- ing finds most of the principals east of the Mississipp. sceking ad- nt.ge in a sectur garded as almost dominant. \ieantime in eery nook and co:ne: of the Re- public lesser lights are shining their brightest to guide the feet of the wavering voter along the path- way of party rectitude. Keeping to a policy adopted at the inception of the campaign, President Coolidge alone among the candidates for the highest office will remain outside the rushing maelstrom of oratory that heralds to the world another pre-election Saturday night. While the New York Democracy is rallying to hear John W. Davis con- clude his platform campaign in Car- negie Hall tonight and Senator L: Follette is summing up his case against the old parties in convention hall at Cleveland, Mr. Coolidge ex- pected to remain quietly at home m the White House—a spectator with a front seat beside the quiet Poto» mac. A Radio Addresa But Monday night the President will deliver a final election eve mess- age to the American people by radio speaking after Mr. Davis has like- wise addressed the great invisible jury of sovereign voters through a nation-wide system of broadcasting stations, Charles G. Dawes, who has borne the brunt of the forensic battle for the Republican ticket, will close his campaign tonight at South Bend, In- diana, after having followed his fam- ous dipper pipe across many states. Governor Charles W. Bryan will wind up in his home state of Ne- braska after a speaking trip that has taken him over much of the western country where the name of Bryan for many years has been a political in- stitution. Senator Wheeler, the only nominee of any of the three tickets to carry his campaign all the way to the Pacific Coast, will conclude 1t with a night meeting at the Atlantic Seabourd—in New York City. All Optimistic From all three camps today there issued the usual pre-election expres- sions of absolute satisfaction and unbounded confidence. Each group insisted most emphatically that its particular candidate had not been weakened by evidence produced be- fore the Senate campaign fund, inves- tigators, although each appeared auite convinced that the casualities among the opposition would be heavy. Meantime the committee meinbers, having adjourned their hearing both in Washington and Chi- cago, assembled here to draft a state- ment for submission to voters before election day. With the three-cornered president- ial fight filling the eye of the nation, the congressional campaign has had to take a back-seat from the start and seems likely not to come into its own in the way of national at- tention until the returns begin to roll in Tuesday night. Interest in it has been further vocalized by a variety of unusual bi-partisan combinations in respective states. What may be the result of that tangle no one seems able to predict. The Republi- can and Democratic managers today made their usual claims to over- whelmingly victory and the LaFoi- lette leaders smilingly suggested that which ever of the old parties secures a paper majority the followers of ¢ Wisconsin Senator are sure to tight- en their grip on the balance of pow- er in the Senate and House. Besides the entire membership of the House, 34 Senators are to be chosen Tuesday, enough to upset the present slender majority should the tide of fortune turn to the Demo- crats. Governors are to be elected in 34 states. ONE WOMAN CANDIDATE Burleigh county has one woman candidate for state office—Mrs. Re- bina Moses—who is a candidate for the state house of representatives. She is on the Democratic ballot and is indorsed by the Independents. Mrs. Moses, who is the wife of C. W. Mases, is a well known resident of Bismarck, and lives at 215 Park avenue, 3
