P.)\—The campaign of 1924 is pass-| ing through its final hours in a es destined to make| political history For the first time two presidential | candidates, President Coolidge and! John W. Davis, ure preparing to ad- dress an election eve message to the same audience—a radio audience that will extent the country over. Two candidates for the Vice-presi- dency, likewise are upsetting prece- dent by continuing through prezelec- tion Monday their speaking cam- paigns. Governor Bryan is com- pleting a swing through his home state of Nebraska and Senator Wheel- er is winding up hig soast to coast speech-making tour in Baltimore. LaFollette to Home Senator LaFollette, having laid his ease finally before the people in a Saturday night address at Cleveland, has returned to his home in Madi- Wisconsin, and “Charles G. ~ Dawes is awaiting in Evanston the verdict in tomorrow’s balloting. Managers for all three of the pre- sidep*ial tickets, after. making the usual pre-election claims to victory, devoted much of today to perfecting machinery to get out the vote. A fair weather prospect for most of the country fitted in with these efforts and appeared to presage a record vote. Besides making # decision among the three presidential candidates, the voters will choose a complete mem- bership among the House of Repre- sentatives, 34 Senators, 34 Governors of states and a host of local officials, Ku Klux Issue In several states the local cam- paigns have made almost complete obliteration of party lines. The La- Follette movement, seeking strength om both of the old parties and Iping Democrats in some localities and Republicans in others, has turn- ed topsy turvy the established order in more than one political communi- ty in the west. In other localities «the Ku Klux Klan issue has operated with equal force to tear down party alignments and cloud the outcome with uncertainty. The Republican claim to national victory is based on an assumption that Coolidge and Dawes will sweep both the east and the west and cut into the borderland of the solid south, » The Democrats declared Davis and (Bryan will take the border states a8 well as tne south and will nose out a victory by a combination of doubt- ful states in the east and west. The major ‘strength of the LaFol- lette and Wheeler is conceded to be in the Northwest, with Wisconsin as its corner stone.

Murphy, for the past eight years manager of the Jordan Hotel, has Ny sold his interest to! other stockhold- ways when necessary to protect life, is regarded as of much importance by that board in its campaign to eli- minate grade crossings in the state. The crossing at issue was at Des Lacs, where the Great Northern Rail- way crosses the Theodore Roosevelt highway. The supreme court held that the power delegated the board of railroad commissionets was. within the police power of the state, and that it did not interfere with interstate com- merce and was not unconstitutional because judicial power was delegated. The court found, in the particular case, that the traffic was heavy enough to justify the board in or- dering the separation in that the crossing was dangerous to life and property. HEADS FAIR BODY Fargo, N. D., Nov. 3.—R. S. Lewis was elected president of the North Dakota Fair association, at, the an- nual meeting of the board of di- rectors held Saturday evening.

FAMOUS PEACE OFFICER DIES “Bill” Tilghman Brought Law and Order to Oklahoma Muskogee, Oklahoma, Nov. 3.—One of the famous last gun fighters who brought law and order into territor- ial Oklahoma passed from the stage Saturday when “Bill” Tilghman was shot down in front of “Ma” Murphy's dance hall in Cromwell, Oklahoma, an oil boom town which until recently was reliving some of the lurid chap- ters of early day border communities. Tilghman died like most of the pioneer peace officers of the South- west before him—with his boots on. One of Tilghman’s brother officers of the old days is left, “Uncle Bud” Ledbetter and he is still in the har- ness as sheriff of Muskogee county. “Uncle Bud” recalled today how he and his slain comrades had pa- trolled the old terrftory as federal officers. Ledbetter covered the In- dian Territory while “Bill” ranged over Oklahoma territory, stamping out lawlessness. l DON'T FORGET | TO VOTE LOS ANGELES FIGHTS PLAGUE; Ten Cases Under Treatment in Hospital of Pneumonic- Plague Serious DISEASE OF ORIENT Brought in by Ground Squir- rels, Physician Says; to Exterminate Rats Los Angeles, Nov. 3.—State and federal health authorities today were moving to the aid of Los Angeles in its grim battle to block the spread ‘of an outbreak of pneumonic-plague that at last reports had claimed a total of 21 victims in the Mexican quarter of the city. Ten cases under treatment at the General Hospital |are said to be critical today. Dr. W. H. Kellogg and Dr. C. Halliday, state health depa sakt ‘experts, arrived from San Francisco yesterday and were to be joined to- day by Dr. Walter Dickie, also of the state health department. Three squads of policemen, about | 75 in all, and working in three shifts, ‘guard the Mexican quarter's danger zone day and night. Food and other in ries are sent through the po- ‘lice cordon under strict, supervision while within the lines and in hospi- tal wards surgeons, doctors and or- derlies go about wearing masks to ward off infection, — « H Squirrels Blamed |° Ground rrels probably carried the disease to Los Angeles and com- municated it to rats, who in turn transmitted it to the first human vietim through the intermediary agency of a flee, Dr, Kellogg said in {discussing the history of the plague in the United States. The Los Angeles outbreak of pneu- cording to Dr, Kel- loge, is a direct heritage from the Oakland plague of 1919, It w Onkland where 13 cases, all. fa were reported, that the pneumonic- form of plague first appeared in this country, the Doctor explained. Heretofore there have been cases of bubonic plague, an allied malady, whieh ched San Franciseo from the Orient in 1900 and years later appeared in New Orleans and Gal- veston, The bubonic plague, though stamp ed out among humans in San Fran. cisco, was communicated to ground squirrels, probably through rats from the city and since then it has been to a certain extent prevalent among ground squirrels in several counties in California. Predicted Outbreak Because of this fact, Dr. Kellogs and other authorities have frequent- ly predicted that unless the disease could be exterminated among the ground squirrels there would some- time be an outbreak among humans. An extensive rat extermination cam- paign is a feature of the campaign Dr. Kellogg and his aids are planning to wage. Los Angeles is the only part of the United States where the pneumonic-plague has appeared, ac- cording to Dr. Kellogg, although it has claimed thousands of victims in the Orient in the last few years. It is distinguished from bubonic plague, in that it attacks the lungs, whereas the bubonic form attacks the glands. It symptons are close to pneumonia although its progress is more rapid and its vitality is much higher. N. D.

D., Nov. 3.—Lillies, at least those of Dr. D. McNaugh- ton’s home on Sixth street, worry not a bit about North Dakota’s win- ter nor, over predictions of a hard winter. During October, something unusually rare in the country, Dr. McNaughton’s lillies took a notion to burst into bloom, and they gave a spring-like appearance 2 their sur- roundings. Auto bodies in 1928 used up nearly 800,000,000 board feet of lamber. IMRS.

Sawyer. ble. Mrs. Harding has been ill for sev- eral weeks and has failed congider- since the recent death of Brig- -General Sawyer, who was her Personal physician and who was physician to President Harding when he occupied the White House. | It became known yesterday that Dr. James Wood of Cleveland was culled to Marion for consultation. Mrs. Harding is making her home at White Oaks farm, the home of | the late General Sawyer. Dr. Carl Sawyer today issued this bulletin: “Mrs, Harding's condition remains ' practically the same as last week. She has developed a number of symptoms that were present in her serious attack in 1922 in the White {House. Other complications have arisen which were not present at! that time, and her condition now is rather serious.” Friends of Mrs. Harding say she has suffered the kidney trouble for years, but they attribute her pres- ent illness to the shock caused by ‘General Sawyer’s recent death fol- ‘lowing so closely the death of her husband a little more than a year ago. WOULD MAKE MEMORIAL OF CONCRETEROAD War Mothers of Two Cities Join in Petition to Com- missioners The six-mile concrete road con- necting Bismarck and Mandan may be dedicated to the soldiers of the World War. Proposals have been made to the boards of county com- missioners of Morton and Burleigh counties asking that the commis- sioners take joint action, and Chief Engineer Black for the state high- way commission was visited by a delegation urging the road be de- clared a memorial road. Mrs. B. S. Nickerson of Mandan, national memorial chairman; Mrs. A. W. Schnecker, president of the Bismarck chapter of the American Legion Auxiliary and Mrs. E. H. Or- cutt, president of the Mandan chapt- er, have represented the Auxiliary in the negotiations, The first step in connecting the cities by a modern road was the building gf the $1,500,000 vehicular bridge across the Missouri, com- pleted ‘three years ago. It was named “North Dakota Liberty Mem- orial Bridge.” Markers have been erected at each end of the bridge by the American War Mothers, com- memorating the service of North Dakota soldiers in the World War. It is now proposed to dedicate the entire highway to them, and develop plans for making it a model, shaded highway.. The road probably will be com- pletely opened Wednesday. Dedica- tion exercises, if any, will be held Armistice Day.

EE | 19 VICTIMS OF WRECK REMAIN IN HOSPITAL \Others Injured When Great ' Northern Train Is Derailed, Return to Homes HOLD PARADE URGING ALL TO GO TO POLLS A parade of students of the Bis- marck High School and Junior High School was held this afternoon as a] ' part of the “get out the vote” cam- paign. The High School students marched to the Junior High, where the students fell into the procession through downtown streets. Some banners were carried by students against the tax reduction bill to be voted on tomorrow. The demonstration, it was empha- sized by those in charge, was pri- marily a participation in the civie campaign to urge all to vote, and in- cidentally the school's opposition to tax reduction measure. was express- ed. Fargo, Nov. 3.—Nineteen victims of the Great Northern Train No, 4 wreck, near Gardner, North Dakota, 24 miles north of here, Saturday af- ternoon, still remained in St. John’ hospital here today, suffering mostly from superficial wounds. The gen- eral condition of all patients, it was announced early this morning, is much improved. Chris Nelson of St. Paul, who sustained the most ser- ious injuries, a fractured skull and several body bruises, was also said to be much better. While a total of 40 persons were rushed to the hospital for treatment Saturday afternoon, 21 were able to leave for their homes late Saturday night and Sunday. The derailment, which Great Northern officials declare was caused by a broken rail, r:pned up approxi- | mately 500 feet of track. Fast work by wrecking crews. however, enabled clearance of trains at 6 o’clock Sun- day morning. Parade Against. Tax Cut Bill Minot, N. D., Nov. 3.—Students of all the city schools, the Minot Normal and the Normal Model school Saturday afternoon joined in a par- ade through the principal parts of the city, intending to emphasize the duty of citizens to vote at the elec- tion next Tuesday as well as a dém- onstration against the proposed in- itiated tax measure. A number of ' banners, flags and bunting were car- ried by the participants in the p ade, which also included teachers who are in Minot attending the Ward County Teachers’ institute.

Everybody Votes but the Slacker FAIR WEATHER IS PROMISED FOR ELECTION Good Roads to Make Possible Getting Out of Big Vote in Rural Districts CAMPAIGN ENDS TODAY Both Coolidge and Independ- ent Forces See Victory on Eve of Election | North Dakota’s citizenry will ee to the polls throughout the state Tuesday to voice a choice for ye Breer, to elect a Governor other state officers, and to se- ie county officials. Fair weather is promised by the {Weather bureau, and this fact, cou- | Pled with the intensive drive to get out a full vote and the extreme in- vereat being manifest in the elec- ion, indicates that one of the lar- leo votes in the history of the state will be cast. Fully 30,000 more votes than were ‘cast in the June lfortitary, are expected to be deposit- ed in the ballot box Tuesday. Registration has been heavier than usual in the cities, and a full country vote also is anticipated. North Dakota four years ago cast over 229,606, votes on the governor- ship, Lynn J. Frazier receiving 117,- 118 to 112,488 for J. F. T. O'Connor. This was the high water mark in voting in the state. However, it was figured that 292,830 voters who wera eligible cast their ballots. Great Activity The. presidential fight in the state is closing with great activity on the part of both the Coolidge and La- Follette forces. Little has been done in behalf of John W. Davis, the Democratic candidate, it being realized that he had no chance of capturing North Dakota’s electoral vote. There is no doubt in the minds of political observers but that the Coolidge-Dawes ticket has made re- markable gains in the state in the last two weeks, and Republican lead- ers now feel confident that the President will carry the state by a majority of 10,000. R. W. Frazier, the LaFollette manager here, claims the state for him by 20,000. | While the LaFoliette-Coolidge campaign has been carried into all quarters of the state, there is a no- ticeable temperature feeling in the discussions, particularly in many of the smaller towns and rural dis- tricts. Many large school hougd Meetings have been held, and re- \spectful hearings given to speakers for both sides. The Halvorson-Sorlie campaign holds the center of the stage in state politics. The Independents now are fully confident that Hal- vorson will win, whereas they were dubious when the campaign opened. A revival of interest among the anti-Nonpartisan League workers over the state, together with claims that many farmers are deserting the industrial program because of the heavy bond issues and high taxes required to finance it, are pointed to as assets of the Minot [man in his candidacy for Governor. The Nonpartisan League forces are just as confident of victory, E. J. | Pepke,, state manager said, although he declined to predict any definite majority. Halvorson Here Tonight Mr. Halvorson closes his campaign here tonight while Mr. Sorlie is in Grand Forks. Mr. Halvorson will return to Minot in time to vote to- morrow, while Mr. Sorlie will be at his home in Grand Forks. In addition to the political state ticket, there are two contests on the non-political state ballot which are attracting interest. They are for supreme judge and superintendent of public instruction. C. J. Fisk of Minot, a former judge of the su- preme court, is opposed to Mr. Burke, with the endorsement of most of the lawyers of the state. Mr. Burke, on the other hand, re- ceived a remarkable vote in the pri- mary. A close race is predicted generally for state superintendent of public instruction, the candidates being Miss Minnie J. Nielson, who is com- pleting six.years in office, and Miss Bertha R. Palmer. Adherents bf both are actively supporting their claims on the votes of the people of the state, ard friends of essh are confident of victory. Race Burleigh county has many | esting county races.
