D.), who re- cently announced he would not support President Hoover) for re- election, said Wednesday‘ that he would not support Governor Roosevelt either. “I think President Hoover's Des Moines speech was mighty good from his point of view,” he told newspapermen. “I don’t agree with some state- ments, but the speech was a well- prepared defense of his own posi- tion.” Frazier, who recently returned from the West, said “there has been a change of sentiment toward the president in the Middle West due in part to disappointment in Governor Roosevelt and also due to the conclusion that President Hoover is not to blame for every- thing.” the president was outlining what he called the Democratic “program” “roposed in the house during the last gssion of congress, as a result of thich he said he vetoed several wasures, a member of the audience led: “Give ’em hell.” President halted his address, smiling broadly for fully half a min- ute.

Senator Nye FARMER GUILTY OF MURDERING BANKER Henry Frazon, 47, Convicted by Bowbells Jury; Will Serve Life Term Bowbells, N. D., Oct. 5—(#)—In one minute's time here Wednesday afternoon, Henry Frazon, convicted of the first-degree murder of George Keup, mayor of Columbus and for- mer banker there, Sept. 16, was sen- teneed by Judge John C. Lowe to serve a life sentence in the state penitentiary. Frazon was asked by the court whether he had any legal reason to state why sentence should not be and Judge Lowe then sentenced him to a life term. i The jury deliberated five hours and 45 minutes and took five ballots be- fore agreeing that FPrazon, a farmer living south of Columbus, was guilty. Frazon wept silently after the ver- dict had been read in court before Judge Lowe. No other sentence except life im- Prisonment was possible under the verdict returned by the jury. Keup was shot and fatally wounded in his office in Columbus late on the afternoon of Sept. 16. There were no eye-witnesses, but Frazon was seen to leave the building immediately after’ the shooting and was apprehended a short time later near Kincaid.

Oct. 5—(P)— Opening his campaign for re-election to the United States senate here Tues- day night, Senator Gerald P. Nye as- sailed what he termed the “brazen leadership of unscrupulous corpora- tion heads who seek to dictate the Policies, not alone of the business world, but of our government itself,” and declared that a better day for the farmer and the country would come with the elimination of that leadership and a return to “decency in business and a consideration of fundamentals in government.” Senator Nye declared that the para- mount issues confronting the govern- ment, both state and national, in- clude the practice of great economy, the enactment of legislation to save agriculture and give the farmer a buying power, and a restoration of the regulation of the issuance of money “to the congress of the people in keeping with the provisions of our constitution.” He said that as long as control over the money and credit system remained in the hands of the “selfish few we will of necessity be confronted from time to time with repetitions of the deplorable conditions existing in the land today.” The senator declared that the “Fra- zier bill to refinance agriculture is legislation of utmost importance. Its enactment into law would give our farm people a new lease upon life and a chance to save their homes. Coupled with the legislation to insure fair prices for farm products by con- trolling the price to be paid for that part of our products consumed domes- tically, the Frazier bill will afford an era of most substantial prosperity, not alone for the farmer, but for the rail- roads, the mills, the factories, and every line of business in America.” Behind Entire Ticket ABOLITION OF STATE LICENSING OFFICE IS URGED BY OFFICIAL Attorney General James Morris, Says Authority Should Be Made Local A recommendation that the state licensing department, operated as a Part of the attorney general's office, be abolished is made by Attorney General James Morris in his biennial report. The department licenses and in- spects pool and billiard halls, places where tobaccos and soft drinks are sold, taxi-cab stands, theatres, moving Picture shows, dance halls and pub- lic halls. The department also assists in the enforcement of the cigarette stamp tax law, and the attorney gen- eral, through the department, issues permits for the sale of cigarettes and snuff. In recommending the abolition of the department, Morris said “it is one of those departments which tends to centralize authority in the state gov- ernment which should be vested in the local political subdivisions.” Incorporated cities and villages should be permitted by ordinance to license and regulate the places now licensed by the state, Morris said. He recommends that enforcement of the cigarette stamp tax law should be placed with some other depart- ment, probably that of the tax com- missioner. “The attorney general should not be made either a police officer or a tax collector,” Morris said.

They were the hands of Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt and Alfred E. Smith, who called each other “Al” and “Frank” as they grinned over a common victory. Both had fought for the nomina- tion of Lieutenant Governor Herbert H. Lehman as governor. As opposi- tion finally melted and success ar- rived, they met on the platform of the Democratic state convention Tuesday night. Ten thousand pairs of eyes watch- ed them. It was the first time they had met since before the Chicago national convention, where Roosevelt won and Smith lost the nomination for the presidency. Smith, arriving to place Lehman in nomination, went on the platform. Shaking hands with persons there, he approached the spot where Roose- velt was standing. It was “Hello, Al” and “Hello, Frank” and then the handshake. Tumult drowned their further re- marks, but as reported by Guernsey T. Cross, the governor's secretary, the dialogue over the handclasp was: Comes From Heart Roosevelt: “Al, this comes from the heart.’ Smith: “That goes for me, too.” During his speech, Smith referred to Roosevelt by name once. Review- ing his own efforts as governor for social legislation, he said: “And when I left here on Jan. 1, 1929, I left with a feeling of satisfac- tion because we handed that pro- gram to Roosevelt and Lehman.” A few minutes later he expressed confidence the Democratic national ticket would be successful. “The Democratic party,” he said, “enters the field not shackled by any false pride, with no apologies for past mistakes, but with a platform and a program of progressive reform that will permit this nation to go forward, that will bring it to a better day, that will solve its economic problems, its problems abroad, and lift from busi- ness the paralysis that is causing un- j employment, and that can be accom- i plished by a Democratic victory, by the election of the Democratic can- didates in the coming election.” Roosevelt, addressing the conven- tion, praised Lehman and said under Smith’s governorship “this state was put on the map among all states as the criterion of successful state gov- ernment.” Looks Forward to Jan. 1 “T look forward,” he continued, “to Jan. 1, 1933, when I turn over the reins of the state government to that splendid right hand of mine, Herbert . Lehman. “Yes, we can say ‘happy days are here again.’ And with equal sincer- ity I look forward to the fourth of March when I go down to Washing- ton and find there the stalwart form of Bob Wagner.” He referred to U. 8S. Senator Robert F. Wagner of New York, who was re- noma ted. fohn F. Curry, Tammany chief, battled against the Lehman selection. He and up-staters, headed by Ed- ward F. O'Connell, Albany leader, were for Mayor John Boyd Thacher of Albany. Finally one of Curry’s own district leaders was reported to have declared he would not go along in the opposition to the New York banker. Curry yielded and a slate headed by Lehman was nominated without @ roll call. Sathre Appointed to Succeed U. L. Burdick Fargo, N. D., Oct. 5.—(#)—Appoint- ment of P. O.
