This is less than half of the number of new cars regis- tered during the same month last ye sowhich was 1.739, For the first time this year the to.as number of new cars registered durifig the year has dropped below} a the'same period of the pre- ceding year. total listed to date this Gear is 21,727, while the total listed during the first eight months ‘of last year was 21,955, j | Poor Crops Cut ‘Sates Twp reasons are offered by local | moto# car dealers for the decided | drop dw new car sales during August. One fis the poor crops in some sec- tiony of the state, which have caus- ed many who had planted to purchase new automobiles this summer to post- pone the contemplated investment. The other is that after September 1 only 50 per cent of the regular license fee must be vaid for new cars which have’ nob been used prior to that time ‘and many who have been con- dering the purchase of a machine ve delayed buying until the reduc- ed license fee became effestive. Cass~county showed the greatest number ‘of new cars registered dur- ine August, with 94. Ward county was second with 72 and Grand Forks county third with 52, New regis- trations from other counties include Burleigh 27, Stutsman 35, Merton 13, Ramsey 48, Barnes 18.

The last paragraph of the Nonparti- san resolution was accepted as a declaration of intention to abide by the result of the primary at which Nonpartisans nominated all but three candidates, Tonight, however, some of them were wu ig the advisa- bility of launching campaigns for the three state offices for which real Republicans were nominated in June. The Platform The Nonpartisan platform’ treaf- firmed allegiance to Republican prin- ciples “as enunciated and upheld by Abraham Lincoln,” and declared for “1, Adequate m legislation which will place agriculture on an equal basis with eat, “2, The elimination of gambing in foodstuffs, .

Fail to Unseat Gammons A sharp division in the Democratic ronks arose when the Grand Forks county chairman attempted to unseat John Gammons, Bismarck, as secre- tary, a post which he ‘has ‘held for a number of years. They nominated Fred McLean, Grand Forks, in oppo- sition but Gammons won, 13 to The total number at the Democratic meeting was 22, the remainder refus- 7, te vote on the subject. in a bitter speech following an- nouncement of the vote F. F. Burch- ard, Grand Forks, Demucratie sena. torial nominee, attacked Gammons and those who supported him as traitors to the party, charging them with attempting to “sell out” the party. He charged Gammons with “stabbing in the back” those who are attempting to revivify the party in the state so as to turm over con- trol to the Republicans. H. L. Hal-} vorson, Minot, who attempted to op-| pose Burchard at the primary but whose name did not go on the ballot, was charged with “taking Republi money” and issuing a “lying letter” bearing. on Buchard’s candidacy. Burchard 81 he would make a strenuous campaign and would carry | to the Democratic voters of the state| the alleged attempt on the part of Gammons and his friends to “sell out” Puckineen, was reelected chairman of e opposition and A. C. Pagenkopf, Dickinson, was elected treasurer. A contest in the seating of a mem- ber from Burleigh county resulted a victory for liam Breen, Bis- marck, who was opposed by F, 0. Hellstrom. The latter charged that Republicans voted at the Democratic meeting at which Breen was elected hereas he was the choice of the ure Democracy.” Hellstrom was ‘supported by the Burchard faction. mocratic resolutions held that the Republican party stands “indicted one the bar tye public decency” s the exposure of “si ms money” spent in the Tiinois and Pennsylvania primaries and averred ‘that “no nation long endure when party leaders in power aid and abet such wholesale corruption of the rage.” At Administration The Democrats also lifted a voice in opposition to the “industrialism of America at the expense ‘and suff ing of American agriculture” and tacked the Coolidge administration with ae to agriculture as evi- denced by Secretary Mellon's, open letter to Congressman Hat in oprosition to the Haugen farm relief iM.
