Political Bushes Hiding Candidates for Governor } Four |. V. A.’s Regarded as in| Race Now and Other En- tries Are Expected ‘There may be a candidate for gov- @rnor behind every bush when the I. V. A’s of North Dakota meet in bien- nial convention next Wednesday at; Valley City. Four men already have been men- tioned and all apparently are will- to have their names presented, but it is by no means certain that any one of the quartet will carry off; the plum. ‘The list includes Attorney General; James Morris, held by some to be the “heir apparent” to the place, possibly | because the present executive was promoted from the attorney general- ship; Dan R. Jones, Wahpeton, known as “Taxpayer’ Jones to hun- dreds of legislators; Roy Johnson, Casselton, one of North Dakota's master farmers and a dabbler in po- ities; and Frank Hyland, Devils! Laké, state senator and one-time lieutenant governor, ‘All have popped up since Lieut-! enant Governor John Carr of James-| town announced early in the weck that he was out of the political pic- ture. There may be others who will need only slight encouragement to have their aspirations burst into bloom. | All of which promises the delegates to the convention more action than/ any I. V. A. gathering has seen in many years. Not since 1926 at Devils Lake, when; Ragnvald Nestos opposed L. B. Han- na for the senatorial endorsement, has there been a really interesting contest in one of these gatherings. | Even with respect to minor offices things usually have been pretty well arranged beforehand, but this year,| and in connection with the most im- portant office to be filled, there promises to be a real contest. Leaders Are Quiet If the I. V. A. leadership, as rep- resented by L. L. Twichell, has taken a hand in the pre-convention maneu- vering, it does not appear on the sur- face unless the relatively large num-! ber of candidates is the result of} activities by the master mind. The more probable view is that Twichell| and Governor George F. Shafer will) keep their thoughts on the governor- ship to themselves unless they are asked for them. The situation within the camp is such that too vigorous a display of opinion might work harm to Twichell’s domination of the group and to Shafer's senatorial aspirations. The I. V. A’s are more adept at healing political wounds within their own party than are the Nonpartisans, but the rank and file appears to be} unusually touchy just now and a; wound created at Valley City may fester until after the June primaries. Therein lies the danger. As to the senatorship endorsement, Governor Shafer has it in a sack.! No one else has announced that he will seek the convention's favor and action probably will be by acclama- tion. A. L. Garness of Regan is a can- didate for the treasurership endorse- ment and Henry Handtmann, Man-/ dan, probably will be a candidate for railroad commissioner, secretary of state or some other office now held| by the Nonpartisans. The I. V. A.j incumbents in the offices below the governor are sure of re-endorsement. | Each year in the past there has been some pre-convention comment that the I. V. A.’s might seek to “un-} load” J. A. Kitchen as commissioner | of agriculture and labor, but always! it has come to nothing. This year it has not even been mentioned. May Be a Bit Early Many newspapers profess to see inj Governor Shafer's announcement of candidacy for the senate the draw-| ing of the lines for a political “battle of the century” between him and Senator Gerald P. Nye, who is seck- ing reelection with Nonpartisan en- dorsement. { i They may be counting political | © chickens a bit early, however, for the lines have been drawn only between Shafer and Nye. Others may enter the race with enough votes to “gum” the cards for either of the major contestants. And lurking in the background of this battle as well as overshadowing the I. V. A. convention will be the fact that the Democrats polled 80,000 votes at the March election. In view of the fact that the very name of the Independent Voters association signifies its status as a combination of Republicans and Democrats, one of the most interesting phases of the convention will be the participation by Democrats, if any. i Many of the Democrats faithful | to the I. V. A. cause are on the pay-| roll. The rest find themselves out in the cold with the Democratic rep- resentation in the state demonstra- tion apparently unchangeable and the lines of Democratic influence, if any, definitely fixed. The result may be the return of| many Democrats to the ranks of their own party, not only in March but in June and November, for indications are that the Democrats will have/ some battles in their own camp to enlist the interest of voters and win publicity. ; Williams Favors Hyland Reports from Williston said that Reports from Stark county Satur- day were to the effect that Tobias D. Casey of Dickinson is being urged to become a candidate for the Democra- tic endorsement for United States senator or for governor.

Henry might have written the story for “Union Depot”, the First National picture at the Paramount | theatre beginning Monday. O. Henry would have delighted in this drama of life and death and love in a rail- way station, with its sharp and col- orful contrast between everyday at- mosphere. and extraordinary events. To begin with, there's a casual young man called Chic, who wanders into the waiting room with a hobo companion. The two have no money to travel in the regular way, and their intention is to leave via a fast freight. But the money question seems solved by a miracle when they find a claim check for a parcel, and the parcel Proves to be a violin case stuffed to the brim with greenbacks. Chic, buying a square meal, then makes another find—a stranded ac- tress who appeals to his ready sym- Pathies. Before he knows it he is sharing his new wealth with her and the station shopkeepers are rejoicing at sudden custom, If you're good at recognizing cele- to attend the program here, “Union kept vigil for the gang for 30 hours while the two suspects, Joseph H. |Pursifull, Peoria lawyer. and J. W. {Betson, carpenter contractor, were jquestioned. Parker told authorities he had been treated well by the kidnapers and {that he was released near Peoria -by three men who pushed him blindfold- ed from an automoible. Sergeant Oliver Kempster of the highway police said no ransom was paid. Alexander Jamie, chief investi- gator of the “secret six,” and Peoria Police officials did not comment on the ransom matter. The two suspects, both of whom have been candidates for elective of- fices on “reform” tickets in the past, were taken intocustody Thursday and held incommunicado until Dr. Parker was released. Sergeant Kempster said the kid- napers were members of the “Egan’s Rats” gang of St. Louis. Dr. Parker disappeared on the night of March 14, shortly after he had telephoned his wife, also a phy- sician, that he was leaving his club for home. INDICT N. D.
