THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE SATURDAY, OCTOBER ~ HOOVER, ROOSEVELT | ASKED ABOUT LIQUOR POLICIES BY CANNON i - Both Reported to Be Opposed to Return of Saloon; Letters Made Public Wasington, Oct. 8.—(#)—President Hoover and Governor Roosevelt have; been requested by Bishop James, Cannon, Jr., and four associates to! state their specific plans for prevent-' ing the return of the saloon and for protecting dry states if existing pro-| hibition laws are revised. \ Letters to the presidential candi-; dates were made public Friday night. ; Both candidates were quoted as be-j| ing opposed to return of the saloon, and then they were asked: “When the federal brand of crim- inal is removed from the beverage} liquor traffic and that traffic is again legalized, what definite specific plan to you intend to propose to prevent the return of the infamous intolerable saloon system which admittedly was smashed by the adoption of the 18th amendment? ... “What definite specific method do you intend to propose ‘to protect the dry states’? Each nominee also was asked whether he will “stand for the reten- tion of the 18th amendment .. . if after very careful consideration you find yourself unable to propose any definite plan which will effectively prevent the return of the saloon or its equivalent and will effectively protect the dry states?” Another question directed at eacn candidate was whether pending any change in the present prohibition regime, he, as president, would “catl upon congress to supply adequate funds for enforcement of the 18ta amendment as of other federal laws” President Hoover was asked if he would recommend any modification in the Volstead act, and whether h> would sign or veto any such modifi- cation passed by congress on its own initiative. Governor Roosevelt was asked ‘f the codification in the Volstead aci demanded by the Democratic plat- form would not “inevitably greatly increase the difficulties of effective prohibition enforcement of which the president of the United States must swear to uphold . . . and moreover utterly fail to satisfy those clamoring tor modification of the law...” CONTINUED from page one Declares Langer Wants to Support President Hoover in this state. In an article which he wrote for his newspaper under a Fargo date line of October 7, he says in part: “Senators Frazier and Nye had said they could not support Hoover for re- @lection. Wednesday Senator Frazier | said he would not support Roosevelt, | in a statement giving faint praise for the president's Des Moines speech. He added: ‘There has been a change of sentiment toward the president in the middle west, due in part to disap- pointment in Governor Roosevelt and also due to the conclusion that Presi- dent Hoover is not to blame for every- thing.’ The day before Frazier said, ‘Some Democrats are not pleased with | Roosevelt's speeches. They think he has made a lot of general promises, and are now asking themselves what \s the use of making a change.’ Langer Favors Hoover i “Observers predict that the Fra-) tier statements will encourage many) leaguers to declare for President’ Hoover in the near future. Langer, league-indorsed Republican} candidate for governor, is said to favor @ straight party fight all the way down the line. He is reported as wanting other leaguers to join him! in coming out for Hoover. Some move of that nature can now be expected. “If certain league leaders swing into the Hoover camp, even though they are tardy and they qualify their sup- port in one way or another, it is prob-| able that North Dakota will repeat the Republican success of 1928. “Encouraged by developments of the | past 24 hours, the Hoover campaign committee has dropped the defensive; and is taking on the offensive. The| members held # hurried conferenc Thursday and asked national head quarters to send such speakers as; Governor Dan Turner of Iowa, Sen- ators Peter Norbeck and Arthur Cap- per and Assitant Attorney General Seth W. Richardson to North Dakota. Fargo Awaits Curtis “They believe men of this type can take advantage of the present situa- tion to help line up farm votes for President Hoover. Vice President Cur- tis’ speech in Fargo Friday night is! expected to arouse greater activity onj the part of regular Republicans who have been inclined to hold back to date until the Nonpertisan league beneficiaries of federal patronage dur- Ing the past four years become openly active for President Hoover. “We were due for a break and here it is, said William Stern of Fargo, Republican national committeman. ‘I believe the president reelected himself at Des Moines. All we have to do from now on is to follow up our pres- ent advantage. From here on the only question in North Dakota will be the size of President Hoover's ma- jority’.” ** * Recently Usher L. Burdick sent to the newspapers a long article why he was going to support William Lemke for congress. He believes that Lemke has but a single objective in this cam- paign, the relief of the debt-ridden farmers. Burdick ran for congressional nomination as a wet Republican but was defeated. He is now active in his work to promote the Farmers’ Holiday movement. His alignments in this fight are expected to aid Lemke who, unlike his fellow Republicans, has*come out boldly for Roosevelt. Lemke is being referred to as the “Norris of North Dakota.” ee & Mrs. Ruth Owen, Bryan’s daughter, has been getting great crowds at her, meetings.

Candidates for congressional and state offices have just closed a busy week of campaigning. They are urg- ing North Dakota voters to mark a straight Democratic ballot. Their ar- gument is Franklin D. Roosevelt will win and that this state will be in much better position politically if Democrats are elected. Especially, | they point out, will this be true of the congressional offices. If there is to be a national Democratic adminis- tration, North Dakota will be much better off to send a Democratic sen- ator and two congressmen. They are bearing down on this point and ap- peal for straight votes from the farm- ers who have bolted Hoover. * * O* The visit of Vice Pre: it Curtis for a political speech at Fargo last’ night and a non-political discourse at!

Since the Des Moines} Speech there has been a return of; political backbone on the part of some | of the leaders who before were in-! clined to let matters drift.

Following Townley’s spectacular vic- | tories, the Socialist party, as a state| organization, went by the boards, It used to roll up nearly 7,000 votes in the state and nearly always had a ticket. in the field. This year the! Socialists decided to concentrate oni their presidential candidate, Norman | Thomas, while the Communists wil!| support William Z. Foster. Republicans are not afraid that the} Communist state ticket will poll any considerable vote that might go to the Nonpartisans, It is known, however, that this force is more active in the Mouse river loop than in past years and the agitation over picketing and marketing has given the leaders a/ forum denied them in the past. ee % is their William Langer’s recent encomium upon R.

Mr. ‘Lemke is silent on Langer, as Langer is on Lemke. Well as for Senator Prazier, he is like “Ole Man River,” he sits in Washington just rolling along on routine business. Langer’s eulogy of Nestos has started Frazier’s friends thinking about what might happen if Langer is elected when the next senatorial campaign rolls a- round. It is known that Nestos feels that Langer's election is a cinch and there has been some understanding. When Langer was nominated by the I. V. A, organization in Minot to op- pose Lynn J. Frazier, it was Nestos whom he defeated. Nestos’ friends took that jolt rather hard. They figured that Langer, who had been an ardent leaguer until about a year before the Minot I. V. A. convention, should serve a little while on proba- tion. George Shafer and Theodore Nel- son, then the leading spirits in the I. V. A. organization, insisted on Langer as the only man who could ‘bust the works” and defeat Frazier. the Fargo Twichell crowd were for tion, but went down to defeat. U. N. D. Homecoming Program Completed Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 8—With the University of North Dakota's 1932 homecoming just a week away, committees in charge of the two-day festivities, Oct. 14 and 15, are com- pleting final details to insure a flaw- less celebration.

Ralph Magee, St. Paul, Speaks Before Dickinson Conference Dickinson, N. D., Oct. 8.—(?)—Rev. J. Ralph Magee, St. Paul, in an ad- dress Friday night at the annual state conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, told pastors “closed minds” and unwillingness to see op- portunities and absorb knowledge j were responsible for failures in life. The newly-appointed bishop of the St. Paul area, including Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota and South Dakota, told the pastors they were not free from guilt in “murdering op- portunity.” He illustrated his talk with true stories of men who had! succeeded in the work of the church despite heavy handicaps. In his travels for the church he said he had observed large numbers of men out of work. “But the men out of work,” he declared. “are not doing anything about it. They are not using their forced idleness to study their trades and build their characters for better jobs. They just loaf around and wonder if anything is going. to turn up.” The times, he said, offer a gold mine of opportunities for personal develpment open to every one smart enough to see them. At the business session six grad- uates of the course of ministerial training were announced. They are Rey. Don J. Klingersmith of Grenora, Rev. Axel Lindstrom of Hunter, Rev. Everett Shotwell of Dickey, Rev. ‘Theodore Torgerson of Ashley, Rev. W. H. Farthing of Cleveland and Rev. Basil T. Osborn of Hannah. They will be ordained as elders at the Sunday session when the new appointments of parishes will be an- nounced. A trip through the Bad Lands was cancelled because of inclement weather. “Religious education,” was to oc- cupy the attention of the pastors to- day. An Epworth League banquet is scheduled for the evening. Pastors were called upon by Bishop Magee to che the decrease in church memberships and baptisms. | Reports of their respective parish-| es were given by the pastors Friday morning at the business session.

Speed was not considered so im- Portant in '83 when William Mc- Donald, with his favorite oxen, one blue and one white, hauled the old cornerstone from a spur track on what is now Ninth St., to the site of the old capitol. McDonald, who now resides on his farm south of Bismarck, expects to be among those who will see for the second time the corner- stone of North Dakota’s capitol swing into place Saturday. The new cornerstone, of Bedford limestone, is considerably larger than the original one. Its outside measurements are 5 by 3 feet and it is 2 feet thick. ’ Death by Burning Remains Mystery The cause of the accident which claimed the life of Mrs. George Hard- ing by burning at her farm home north of Sterling probably will never be known, Eli Harding, her son, said during a visit to Bismarck Saturday.
