The house Democrats, confident of seizing the control held by Repub- licans since 1918, nominated John N. Garner of Texas for speaker and Henry T. Rainey of Illinois for floor leader, and formulated party proced- ure on the issues which leadership jhas thrust upon them. One of the last remaining major points of dispute was removed before the caucus began. Advocates of a party steering committee announced they would not press this issue, op- Posed by Garner. The committee would have acted as a war council in determining party decisions in the house. The decision not to press the steer- ing committee proposal came after a conference between Garner and & group headed by Rep. Byrns of Ten- nessee. ‘They began preparing also with their senate 2 broad leg- islative program, which they hope to! make a pre-convention platform, lay- ing. before the people of the country the party’s ideas for economic better- ment. A more immediate _ purpose: was to Head off, if possible, a disor- ganzed chase after legislation which cannot pass. 5 ‘The senate Republicans, organized Friday without aid of their independ- ent. element, were confident of con- trolling their chamber by. virtue of majority, despite internal friction over the president pro-tem,, George ‘Moses of New Hampshire. The prohibition vote advocates threw their weight behind the gen- erally supported loosening of the house rules, while the group of in- dependents, Republican, Democrat and Farmer-Lebor, pledged itself to support the most liberal program of- fered. A section of the senate.Republicans settled down to decide whether to try reducing the Democratic contingent by barring ,John H. Bankhead of Alabama, whose seat is contested. Jumping the gun, hundreds of members of both house and senate have alrealy filed with the clerks about 6,000 bills on every imaginable topic. £ eee Mrs. Roosevelt to Christen Big Liner Camden, N.

The lynch spirit flamed a short time before the actual sig deed because of the low wages paid him. Dirigibles vs. Fort Lincoin (An Editorial) Reports from Washington indicate that all is not well with the Akron, giant dirigible which recently took to the skies at the Ohio city. She is said to be some 10 tons too heavy and too slow in the air. Lifting power and speed are important in an aircraft and some members of congress may demand an investigation of the matter at the session about to open. They are asking if the $5,500,000 spent on the ship was a proper investment and why it is that the fall amount was paid if the ship doesn’t come up to specifications. That picture presents one side of the economy question as it concerns the national defense. : Another side is that presented by the proposal to abandon nearly a million dollars worth of property at Fort Lincoin; restrict, curtail and discourage the training of our North Dakota youth in the rudi- ments of military science and otherwise hamper the effective par- ticipation of North Dakota’s manhood in any future wars, On one hand we see the government spending huge sums for the Akron and ordering another ship just like her in the name of na- tional defense. On the other hand we see the same government or- dering the closing of a military post which does as much good and serves as many people, in proportion to the number of troops lo- cated there, as any in the country. This last is done in the name of governmental economy. It may be that the people of North Dakota are too small- minded to grasp. the large problem of national defense, but we hardly believe so. We know that wars, if they come, are won by | men, armament and equipment. And we know, too, that of these three factors the men are the most important as well as the most precious. We know that in past wars the United States has been forced to put men on the front who were woefully ill-trained as the result of the lack of foresight of our military leaders. We may not bé skilled in military science or the details of tactics but we feel that the average man has just as good an idea of how wars are won as the brass hats in the war department. A good many of the men who helped to win the last war are just average fellows today.

More Clothes ‘ Demand 1s MuchGreater Than ‘Supply, Chairman Milton Rue Says Another plea for clothing was sounded by the American Legion “Open Your Heart” headquarters Seturday. Milton Rue, general chairman, said “We can use” all the clothing we can get. There is real need for it. The “Open Your Heart” committtee already has purchased more than 40 Pairs of overshoes to take care of re- quests since overshoes donated to the cause were not sufficent to meet the demand. Twenty-four pairs of new overshoes were donated by Zvorist’s Clothing Store while the Richmond Bootery contributed a large quantity of shoes. In addition, the M-F Service Station gave 50 gallons of gasoline to be used by the transportation committee. A large truck load of toys, gathered by Boy Scouts Friday afternoon dur- ing a canvass of the city, was sent to the state penitentiary Saturday. Prisoners will repair the toys and they will be given to children of needy families at Christmas time. The “Open Your Heart” fund swell- ed to $228.11 Saturday, Rue said. Frank 8S.

CORRUPT USE OF MONEY TS CHARGED IN ALABAMA VOTE Investigator Asserts Election Laws Were ‘Almost Uni- versally’ Violated. ~ Washington, Dec..5—(#)—The re- port of a senate investigation charg- ing corrupt use of money in the elec- tion of Senator Bankhead, of Ala- bama, was filed Saturday with a sen- ate elections sub-committee. Prepared by P. L. Aarhus, investi- gator for the senate campaign expen- ditures committee, it was presented by Horace Wilkinson, attorney for former Senator Heflin, contestant of ; Bankhead’s election. The report went on record shortly after former Senator Heflin, who is contesting. the seat, sent a letter to all Democratic senators asking their support for his contention that Bank- head should stand aside until the elections committee reports. Wilkinson offered the document as the sub-committee in charge of the contest contifued its hearing of argu-, ments that Bankhead exceeded the limit of expenditures fixed by Alaba- ma law. Aarhus said he was prepared to present evidence of “almost universal violation of election laws and alfnost, equally gross financial corruption” in the election. He charged violation of 26 sections of the Alabama law, including the buying and selling of votes. Senator George, of Georgia, @ Democratic member of the commit- tee, said the letter did not constitute legal evidence and asserted he would not accept the conclusions without cross-examination of the investigator. Aarhus said he also could offer wit- nessés to testify that a check signed by Representative Bankhead, of Ala- bama, brother of the senator, was seen in the hands of M. C. Hester, circuit clerk of Franklin county, to be used in paying poll tax for voters in the latter part of January, 1930. SERVED 9,379 MEALS Bowman, N. D., Dec. 5.—Forty-six members of the Bowman county 4-H clubs served 9,379 meals during the last club year. They also canned 570 Jars of fruit, 450 Jars of vegetables, 284 jars of meat, and 226 jars of jelly. Bicycles may have gone out of style with some folks but they are staging a come-back with Fred McKinney of Chicago. McKinney left Bismarck Fri- day to add more miles to the to- tal of 8,000 he has accumulated recently in trips around the coun- try and with him he took copies of the official seals of North Da- kota, Burleigh county and Bis- marek. ‘ If he finds a job the trip will halt, McKinney said, but until he does he will go on pedaling and collecting seals. They are a hobby with him. An idea of what the bicyclist wears in a North Dakota winter is given by McKinney, who robes himself in two pairs of trousers, two pairs of heavy socks, two jer- seys, three sweaters, and two caps. In addition, he had two pieces of fur wrapped around his toes on either foot and he often places a newspaper inside his Jerseys to protect his chest from the wind. ‘ % nothing tangible to offer nationalist | Ciel report on tne situation.

He was sentenced by Judge R. G. McFarland, Jamestown. : The jury brought in its verdict about 5 p. m., Friday, after deliberat- ing almost six hours. Arnett was charged with escaping from the state penitentiary Dec. 15, 1929, with Ed Canfield. The two were captured the night of Dec. 17, 1929, both ‘having suffered from exposure to the extreme cold. Canfield pleaded guilty to the charge and already has served his term for it. Arnett was arrested on the charge by Burleigh county au- thorities when he completed his term for grand larceny last July 1. He or- iginally was sentenced from Ward county. A case in which Weston Baker seeks $2,150 from the Dakotah Seed com- pany, Joe Kilzer, John Muggli, and P. H. Haag, which began Friday, was being continued Saturday.

Now he is pedaling his way around the northwest loop. . If he fails to find work when he returns to Chicago he will make another trip, probably to the south. His equipment is unique.
