The announcement was made to many who had attended the Paris|;, township school which Mason taught when first he came to North Dakota in 1906, He was the first teacher in the school. Mason's candidacy is expected to go before the anti-Langer convention of Nonpartisans, scheduled for James- town Thursday, and he is expected to present there a proposed measure to take the appointive pow- er out of the governor’s hands in major matters and place it with a cabinet to be comprised of all elec- | tive state officials. Mason came to North Dakota from Towa 29 years ago, first teaching school | in western Barnes county and later | homesteading in Stutsman county.

For the next five years he was secre-) tary of the Senate Committee on In- dian Affairs, of which Frazier is chair- man. Mason also was clerk and exec- utive officer of 2 special subcommittee, appointed by the senate to investigate the condition of Indians in the United States. ‘Two years ago he had a break with Frezier over policies and personnel of employes in the Indian affairs com- mittee and resigned his job, returning to Bismarck and again taking up the Practice of law. In 1924 Mason was one of three delegates representaing the National Nonpartisan League in the Conference for Progressive Political Action at Cleveland that nominated Senators Robert M. LaFollette and Burton K. Wheeler for the Presidency and Vice Presidency respectively. He has been active in promoting farm legislation, particularly along the lines of grain grading and in opposition to milling in bond. He also assisted William Lemke in assembling material for the Lemke- Frazier farm bill. Helped Indian Veterans Mason prepared the legislation long denied on technica? grounds, that brought pensions to the survivors and widows of the band of Indian police who participated in the Sitting Bull fieht on the Grand River in 1890. On March 4, 1929, he organized and led the mounted cowboy scction of the in. augural parade, made up of a bi-parti- san group of former cowmen and women, both white and Indian in Washington. Mason has two daughters; Nellie, employed in Washington, and Verabel, a senior in Asbury College, Wilmore, Kentucky. He is a graduate of High- Jand Park College and a member of | the bars of North Dakota, District of Columbia and Supreme Court of the United States. He says, if elected, in- stead of catching on he will get on the | job at once and fairly and impartially represent North Dakota, working for legisiation befitting a great agricul- tural state.

The anti-Langer faction is un- j derstood to have sought a definite expression from Frazier as to whether {he would accept indorsement from the forces, but received an unsatisfactory answer, That anti-Langerites regarded Fraz- jer as a candidate on the Langer ticket dicated in talk among the antis ring around possible candidates to oppose Frazier.

On the Langer ticket candidates consid- jered included State Senator Oscar Erickson, Kidder County and Elmer (Cart, Burke County, for lieutenant |governor; James Gronna, Lakota, for |Secretary of state; Harold Hopton, Bismarck, and O.

Olson, New Rockford; T. H. Thoresen, Grand Forks; P. J. Garberg, Fargo, }and Secretary of State Robert Byrne were the leading contenders. Olson and Thoresen seemed to be outstand- ing in this group, with Byrne looked upon as @ possible compromise candi- date. Should Thoresen fail to receive the gubernatorial nomination, senti- ment appeared to favor him for attor- ney general. State Auditor Baker is expected to be placed before the Jamestown con- vention for endorsement by that group. Indications were she stood a chance for indorsement from both fac- tions. The status of Congressmen William Lemke and James H. Sinclair was somewhat uncertain, with some anti-Langer leaders expressing the opinion that the congressmen “prob- ably” will be their candidates. Indications given by the Langer faction were that the congressmen would be given consideration as can- didates on the Langer slate. Rumors were circulated here that the Langer faction would sponsor a recall of U. S. Senator Gerald P. Nye because of his speech in the senate following the removal of Gov. Langer as head of relief activities in North Dakota. Fed- eral authorities have charged Langer |solicited political contributions from jtelief workers. | This the Langer group denied, all- though it was indicated the matter had been a subject of discussion among some of them. |_ State Senator John L. Miklethun, | Barnes county, opened the anti-Lang- {er conference Monday afternoon, de- claring the object of the session was to sit as an advisory council. Explaining he had left a sick bed to attend the meeting, he asked that another chair- man be named and former State Sen- ator Eric Bowman was chosen. Bismarcker Is Secretary State Senator E. E. Green, James- town, elected at the morning con- ference as secretary, asked to be excused, giving no reason; Nelson Mason asked to be relieved because he was a candidate for office in his county. Ivar Enget, Bismarck, was named to act as secretary. Discussion became spirited on a pro- posal advanced by Don Larin, Willis- |ton, editor of the Williams County | Farmers Press, who has taken a strong editorial stand against Langer. He suggested that the anti-Langer group go into the indorsement convention and offer to clean the slate, with pone | may THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 1934 ft the incumbent state officers, in. luding Langer, to be considered for indorsement. Representative Harvey Solberg, Wil-! lams county, supported Larin’s pro- | posal, declaring “we have come to! | where we are pushing men instead of} principles. There is enough antagon- | 2 ism in the league today to defeat any group.” C. N. Lee, Bismarck, secretary of the state executive committee, interjected that if the Langer faction accepted the | % Proposal it will place selection of the ticket in the hands of the Langerites since that faction controls the con. vention. State Treasurer Alfred Dale told the! conference that several state officials who repudiated Langer could have affillated with the Langer group “if they had kept their mouths closed.” ——* Strange But True News Items of Day | | (By The Associated Press) aa sl | WARDEN NOT INTERESTED Denver — Prisoners at the county jail presented a petition to Warden James Norton Tuesday.
