For five years the growth of this city has been rapid. The pace now is being accentuated. Fargo has de- veloped a justifiable ego. It is the home of that group of alert busi- ness men designated in a popular expression as go-getters—in con- siderable numbers. «Here are developed political cross chrrents vitally affecting the affairs of North Dakota. Here is the pick and the flowe of the Independent group in state politics. In that group are plenty of go-getters. ‘Here is centered the great publicity organization and the news- Paper support that has been the backbon. of the Independent move- ment in state politics. Political Paradox It long has been the most active, centralized and highly organized force in North Dakota politics. Here too is a political paradox notable in the annals of practical politics in the northwest. This is the way one of the most prominent and influential political leaders in this city described it to The Tribune Thursday: “You can start in on Front street and traverse it all, go down Broad- way to the Great Northern depot and four out of five business men you meet will descend to profanity when they discuss the representa- tion this city has had in the state Jégislature for some years past. “They will roundly declare them- stlves on what has come to be re- ferred to here as the issue of Twichellism. *“The other night there was a Meeting of a Commercial club com- mittee considering affairs of the Agricultural college. being talked over. The fact was de- nee that for the past four ses- ns of the legislature not a single appropriation has been --ade for a new building at the college. “The question was frankly asked: y is this? ~“The answer was just as frank.

The situa- m was deplored, but nobody was} ready to do anything about it. -“Twichell could have been beaten | easily this year and his defeat would have paved the way toward a better standing and more cordial re- lations between Fargo and the rest of the state.

That fact is not important, how-) ever, for Fargo and Cass county will admittedly roll up a big indc- pendent majority. Shafer will be its chief beneficiary and will lead urably.

They | want no comprom:-es and they are! frankly declaring their disgust and admitting that from the:. viewpoint the state campaign has _ been stripped of actual issues ‘as once they were defined and has become r rely a struggle for office between two groups equally reprehensible. | It is at this point the effort for a new and progressive Republican alignment is beginning. The situation as regards criticism of the Independent legislative dele-| §uti-n, whose election is assured is not without its humorous aspects. Representative Fowler is being panned because he is not more posi- tive. It is being said that when he! has anything to say he does not} sound off sufficiently vigorously. It; is declared he whispers his views too much and that he goes behind} the barn to whisper. | Fowler is also being ridiculed for what it is sai ‘as an attempt to gratify an am’.it!on to succeed Con- | gressman Burtness from the First district, It is declared he appeared | in the open advocating a federal ap-! pointment for Burtness that he} might be gotten out of the way. An Ambition Thwarted There is another story of the | straining of political entente cor-j{ diale which has always existed be- tween Fowler and L. L. Twichell. It is said that Twichell felt this time he should have been honored and recognized with the senatorial nomination. " Here in Fargo also is one of the stalwart leaders of the Nonparti-| san League group in William Lemke. “Lemke is out with a straightforward declaration that he will support the Nonpartisan League ticket. He is especially ac- tive for Senator Frazier. He is pointing to the fact that Nestos (qualifies as a simple office seeker, who is sidestepping the big economic question of the farmer in politics inasmuch as he has declared he will support the administration which int just vetoed the McNary-Haugen i the faculty of inspiring men. He is effective m this campaign among his old friends and he is openly de- claring his support for the Non- partisan League ticket. _ Co county is doing two things in this campaign. It is getting ready to roll up a big majority for Shafer. Below him it will split its ticket somewhat. And while it is| doing this it is getting ready to sponsor a new progressive Republi- can movement in North Dakota, un-| der new leadership, peclcetes to| more constructive things. Ir many| respects this is the most significant political development of this cam- paign in North Dakota. Shafer Criticized | Shafer is suffering somewhat here by his compromising upon the! issues of state industrialism. It is being declared he has made a mis-| take in compromising upon the) state mill issue and upon the Bank| of North Dakota issue. There is! some disaffection because of this, | but it is not considerable. | Fargo and Cass county are going; to send the Independent ticket out of the Red River Valley with a big! majority to be overcome in other! sections of the state.

Frazier Urges Vacation He cited conditions in western states to demonstrate that the de- mands for farm equality are justi- fiable. He urged the farmers to take a vacation and as many of them as possible he said should join in the trek to Kansas City. He discussed revision of the fed-| eral grain grades, which he said are now rigged against the interest of the producer. advocated establish- ing of laboratories such as the state mill in North Dakota to.test the pro- tein content of wheat and said he regretted it did not seen to be pos- sible for every farmer to take a year’s vacation. He urged the peo- ple to interpret their economic in- terest by their votes. : Answering the criticism directed to Senator Frazier because he was not in Washington when the final vote on the McNary-Haugen bill was taken Senator Nye said informally yesterday that Senator Frazier voted upon the bill as effectively as if he had been in Washington and as affirmatively through a pair with Senator Cole Blease of North Caro- lina. Farmers’ Union speakers dis- cussed its program and urged par- ticipation in the parade to Kansas City headed by M. W. Thatcher, in charge of the terminal markets of the Union.

WOMAN IS CO-PILOT ON SURPRISE EXPEDITION Halifax. N.S. June 4.—(P)—A surprise transatlantic air expedition was under way today with a Boston social service worker, who in apr pearance is somewhat of a feminine counterpart of Lindbergh, as co- pilot. A secret flight was made fror. Boston to Halifax yesterday by two men and a woman en route to Trepassey, N. S., for the hop across the ocean, 2 Wilmer Stultz, who was pilot for Mrs. Francis Wilson Grayson on her first attempt to fly the Atlantic last year, is pilot of the plane. The co-pilot is Miss Amelia Earhart, amateur aviatrix, and director of Denison House, Boston‘s oldest set- tlement center. She is of fai: com- plexion and bears a striking re- semblance to Col. Charles A. Lind- bergh, whose’ trail-blazing path across the North Atlantic she hopes to follow. Louis Gordon of San Antonio, Texas, is flight mechanic. Flyers Jump from Hawaii Sunday Night (Continued from page one) This was about 5:20 p.m. The motor continued to “spit,” later messages stated. It was an un- pleasant sound that presaged pos- sible disaster to the well planned expedition, Still the flyers could joke about it as evidenced by the following message from the plane: ing for altitude, first right, then left. It’s a great game dodging jthose dark clouds. It’s a bit bumpy ‘here now.” Racing Storm A race between the plane and the storm—that was the gist of a mes- |sage sent out at 6:20 p. m. (8:40 p. im. Pacific coast time). "It’s a race ‘between us and the clouds to the 10,000 elevation. It’s going to. be a bad night. The motors doing ee pulling now to 6,500. Getting i dark.” Canton Island, in the Phoerix group, was at least 600 miles south- east of the plane when this last message was sent out. If the battle with the storm consumed too’ muck gasoline to permit continuing on to Suva, an emergency landing could be made on the island, but those who know Canton Island say the landing is liable to bring a “crack- up,” or wreck to the Southern Cross. No one lives on the Island and even though the ship could make a safe landing it would take at least three {days for a ship to transport gaso- jline to the place so that the two Australians and two Americans can proceed. | Pennant Progress | AMERICAN ‘ASSOCIATION Ww LsPet.

Call money re- newed unchanged at 6 per cent, but banks called about $15,000,000 in loans and the large institutions re- ported a growing scarcity in the volume of funds available for brok- ers’ borrowings. The day’s business news was mixed in character. Official denial that negotiations were pending for the sale of the Radio Corporation’s communications business to the International Telephone company were followed by a drop from 223 1-2 to 218 1-2 in that stock, but scale buying orders were supplied © npersistent rumors of an inaugur- ation of cash dividends and an early split-up of the stock. American linsee dran up 6 points to 109 on reports that the company would be absorbed Gold Dust, but the latter ran into heavy profit-taking. Prices ran up 1 to 7 points in the early trading with more than a score issues moving into new high fester American Express ran up points to a new record high at. 204 and American Railways Express 6 1-2 on a denial of recent reports | No. concerning n lations for the tak- ing over of nea A ogebled xpress company stock by rail- roads at a price substantially below its current market value.
