SINCLAIR RISES T0 POSITION OF POWER IN CAPITAL CIRCLES Kenmare Man Holds Important Posts by Reason of Eight Consecutive Terms candidates in the North Dakota June 27 primary election. (By The Associated Press) For 16 years a representative of North Dakota in the lower house of congress, J. H. Sinclair of Kenmare is &@ candidate for re-election to a ninth term. He has the endorsement of the anti-Langer faction of the Nonparti- san League. Sinclair is one of four candidates Congressma! with endorsement of both league fac- tions; U. L. Burdick, Fargo, endorsee of the Langer faction of the league; and Tom Hall, Bismarck, Independent Republican candidate. Democratic candidates for the two seats to which North Dakota is entitled in the Jower house are G. F. Lamb, Michigan, and W. D.

He taught school, was superintendent of schools at Cooperstown from 1896 to 1898, and was register of deeds of Griggs county for six years. In 1908, he moved to Kenmare where he en- gaged in farming and the real estate business, A member of the state legislature from 1915 to 1919, he was instrumental in bringing a favorable report out of committee on the terminal elevator bill in the 1915 session. He was elect- ed to congress in 1918 as a represent- ative of the former third district and re-elected from that district until two years ago when he was re-elected as a representative at large. In the present session of congress he was advanced to membership on the appropriations committee, and is the ranking Republican member of | ¢; the subcommittee on agricultural ap- Propriations, During the present session he was successful in restoring to the agricul- tural appropriation bill funds for dry land agriculture, previously eliminated by the budget bureau. He also was active in bringing about the $2,000,000 appropriation for eradication of grass- included in the same bill.

Rumors that the Langer administra! employes for a defense fund to pay his attorneys in the criminal action brought against him and eight others by the federal government recurred 80 frequently this week as to recall the old adage about the smoke and the ak no one who has actually paid the money has been heard to squawk. ‘The fact of the case seems to be that this solicitation was made only ‘among those in the higher pay, brackets, the little fish getting off with an- other five per cent rap for The Leader. In tr2 Bank of North Dakota, according to an apparently reliable report, certain executives have been forced to pay $25 each. Others, including those with expense accounts, have been cracked for $50. The same situation is said to hold in the highway and state beer commission departments and elsewhere. In the Bank of North Dakota, it is said, employes were told to cash their checks at one window, pay their “dues” at the next. SOME ARE WIGGLING OFF THE HOOK : fry are wiggling off The Leader hook is the : commonest processes was to give post-dated checks for the amounts contributed and, before they became payable, close up the bank account on which they were drawn. When such a check is presented, of course, it bounces. Further efforts to collect are met with the flat statement that the con- tributor hasn't got the money, needs he makes to support his family. And in the majority of cases this is true. The bitter irony of it from the standpoint of departments operating on federal grants, specifically the highway department, is that the chiefs dare not swing the axe as a matter of discipline. If they get too tough the gov- ernment might shut off the flow of funds. This would be a tragedy for THE DOUGH COMES IN MORE SLOWL’ ‘The Leader year is up on July 6 and work of garnering the financial sheaves is going forward, but more slowly than last year. A good many of those solicited are pointing to Governor Langer’s public statement that all contributions were made voluntarily and announcing that they wish to make no more voluntary donations. ‘The result has been veiled threats by the solicitors that they can get by with that sort of an alibi now but that things will be different a little later t—. ‘The “if”, apparently, has to do with the outcome of the government's prosecution. IT MAY TAKE TIME TO GET PAST THE PRELIMINARIES ‘That it will take time to get into the meat of the Langer case when the federal court meets here Tuesday is indicated by the present situation. It is improbable that the indictment which Judge Andrew Miller sus- tained after argument before him at Fargo will be attacked again at any length, but a bitter legal battle looms with regard to the indictment which was quashed by the judge and then reinstated at a subsequent session of the big fellow 19 minutes, while Al Sten- | stand jury. hoff was thrown in 22 minutes. “Curley” Scoble, 170 pounds, was vic- tim of a hammer lock in four min- utes.

D., May 15, 1934. Editor, Tribune: T am interested in the Gummer case for several reasons. If an inno- cent man was convicted on circum- stantial evidence its high time some thing was done about it. My second cousin happened to be on the police force at the time in the capacity of detective, at Fargo. Another reason, I knew a James Farrel whose address was Willmar, Minn, in 1910. He boarded at the Delmonico Cafe where I was, at that time, head waiter. I punched his meal ticket and noted his given name was James Farrel, although he was otherwise known as “Buck” Farrel. Buck Farrel seemed to have a pal the boys called “Blackie.” He was shorter than Farrel, dark complexion- ed and dark haired, so it was easily seen why he was nick named “Blackie”. Blackie, as far as I knew, did not board at the Delmonico but I was led to believe that he bunked or roomed with Farrel over ® business block. Could this “Blackie” be the “Blackie Carter” that is wanted? Did he use his old pals name on the register? Where was *Farrel that night?
