Tugwell said big processors fought the legislation, although previously some of them had urged the AAA to clamp down on small businesses with accused of “sweating” farmers, wage- earners and consumers. “The opposition to the proposed amendments,” Tugwell said, “is a pre- liminary to an attempt to overthrow the agricultural adjustment program at its foundation. “The next step will be a concerted Gress.

Trade Figures LANGER ATTORNEYS FILE MOTIONS FOR NEW FEDERAL TRIAL Move Based on Alleged Errors of Court, Misconduct by Jury and Judge Fargo, N. D., June 27.—()—While Preparations moved quietly ahead in federal court circles to frustrate any Possible attempt at a mob demonstra- tion in Fargo Friday when Gov. Wil- lam Langer and his four associates appear for sentence, attorneys for the five, found guilty in federal court at Bismarck a week ago Sunday, Tues- day filed motions for a new trial, the motions alleging numerous errors by the court, misconduct by the jury and misconduct by the judge. Attached to and made a part of the motion is an affidavit by E. R. Sink- ler of Minot, a defense attorney, to the effect that jurors in the trial had ‘access to prejudicial newspaper ac- counts of the 8. Generally, federal authorities in Fargo are inclined to discount the persistent rumors of mob demonstra- tion. The persistency of the rumors, however, has led them to take precau- to be on duty in and about the federal building here as they were when the trial was in progress. BOAT CAPTAINS ARE BLAMED FOR WRECK 25 Persons Feared Drowned as Result of Jealousy Be- tween French Pilots LOrient, France, pigs 21.—()—The Business Census Shows Gain in Employment During Late Months of 1933 WHOLESALERS EMPLOY 166 September and October Are Peak Months; Improvement Over 15 Per Cent Burleigh county, with $4,368,000 net sales for 1933, ranked fourth among sale ie_aeeurciog t ioe ripen : trade Te. leased Wednesday by federal census of American business. North Dakota showed the same improvement trend in wholesale trade employment as other states in the union, according to the tabulation. Forty-two wholesale trade estab. lishments in Burleigh employed 166 full time men and paid those labor- ers $251,000 for the year 1933 accord- ing to the releases. Besides these there were 14 part time men employed in the county collecting wages total- ,000. ing $5,000. Based on. the average number of full-time employees engaged in the wholesale trade in the stat:, Decem- ber 1933 showed an improvement over the beginnnig of the year by 11 per cent, and September and October registered an improvement over Jan- uary and February by 15 per cent. The peak in part-time employment was reached in September, which was 89 Per cent higher than in May of that year, When both full-time and part time employment are considered, it be- BURST OF SPEECHES AT MEETINGS HERE Nye, Cain and Langer Are Chief Speakers in Bismarck Tuesday Night ADMINISTRATION FLAYED Senator Calls for Cleanup; Cheering Section Howls for Incumbent North Dakota’s relatively brief pri- mary election campaign biased to its finish Tuesday night with Bismarck the center of interest. Gathered here were two of the candidates for the gubernatorial nom- ination and Senator Gerald P. Nye, chief campaigner for T. H. H. Thore- sen in the closing days of the pre- election drive. Nye spoke at the City Auditorium to an interested crowd which applaud- ed little except for a rousing ovation at the finish. William Langer spoke next door, a‘ the World War Memorial to a crowd which included a cheering section. It interrupted him frequent- ly with violent applause, although a large section of his audience, consist- ing of the curious, was patently un- moved. J. P. Cain talked over the radio, as did Nye and Langer. On the platform with Nye were most of the candidates on the Thoresen- Olson ticket, endorsed by the James- town Nonpartisan convention. Lang- er was flanked by a number of his cohorts. Olson Introduces Nye State Senator W. E. Matthaei was chairman of the Thoresen-Olson Congressman J. H. Sin- ciair and O. H. Olson, lieutenant gov- ernor and claimant of the governor- ship since Langer’s conviction on a felcny charge in federal court. Olson introduced Nye. Warning that government must be clean and decent in purpose and in- ception, Nye said he was sick in heart, nund and spirit at the division in the Nol in League but that it had to come lest it, along with the state a3 @ whole, become prey to a ruthless and corrupt political machine such as few persons can envision. Tracing the history of the Langer administration, he said he supported Langer two years ago with misgivings but relied on the assurance of good men that he had abandoned his old ways. No sooner had he come to power, however, than he conceived the idea of @ political machine and the need for “oil” to keep it running smoothly. That oil, Nye asserted, was money and Langer started out to get it even though he and the men elected with him had come into office without comes clear that the improvement during the year 1933 was substantial and than seasonal, William L. Austin, tor of the census bureau, According to the 1929 census of dis. tribution, the seasonal variation in such employment for North Dakota is about 19 per cent for both full-time and part-time employment combined, Ce peak being reached about October. = = g g Eaves treed mi il : i i i : Beka sla i i oi E i i : él i li = s irl i le i E Z s E 8 iH E BaEE i age gogs Be s 22 ge d E i ie it fis 30 ; i a fe ef i Ei ef zis Eve i : i i F | : i i ij : i i which will enable the state clean, efficient government. unhappy that Langer should have been convic E fl Ha z 3 e 8. i = § E z | H i | ; Gy : F 3 £ 5 | | i 3 i q g li il il Hie A ag i | | | i if 1 fi Fi 3 i 8 F i ef H Hd | F E [ 4 g E be ili ek } . i A i | i | ? ij i i 5 His : < sii (GOVERNMENT PUSHES o o BALLOTING HEAVY IN MOST SECTIONS OF NORTH DAKOTA Rural Districts Also Indicate Keen Interest in Outcome of Election DEMOCRATIC COUNT IS LOW Most Citizens Flock to Republi- C.

PURCHASES OF LAND IN CENTRAL STATES Thousands of Sub-Marginal Acres to Be Returned to Wild Life Under Plan ‘Washington, June ~37.—(}—The purchase of hundreds of thousands of ‘acres of marginal farm lands in the midwest and north central states was in full swing Wednesday with govern- ment agents pushing purchases of land homesteaded by settlers a half- century ago. Urged on by devastating effects of drouth with its consequent blight on crops and vanished water supplies the government has begun retiring farmers from what it considers “sub- marginal” acres and returning those acres to the use of birds and other wild ie. Secretary Wallace announced Tues- day that $8,500,000 has been set aside from drouth relief and forest purchase funds to begin the retirement pro- gram which has been in prospect for two years. J. N. Darling, chief of the bureau of biological survey, said simultan- eously that 179,000 acres were in the Process of being purchased and others. would be added to the list as rapidly as possible. Approximately 33 1-3 per cent of the acreage 80 acquired will be used for wild game refuges and sanctuaries, Darling estimated.

Reports from local polling places at 2 p. m. showed that 2,018 Republicans and 300 Democrats had voted, or about 50 per cent of the 5,187 given as the approximate registration. In the rural districts, also, the vote was heavy, representative precincts indicating keen interest on the part of the electorate. The 2 p. m. count in the city pre- cincts follows: (Approx- Rep.

Arena said the count was a little behind when compared with previous years but election officials expected showing by the time the polls Absent voters ballots here totaled number of absent voters ballots was down everywhere in the state as com- bared with previous years. At Fargo the balloting was about normal, but the number of absent voters ballots was reduced from over 900 to 712. The early vote was larger than us- val at Jamestown and Valley City. The same was true at Mandan, where 300 absent voters ballots were cast. Grand Forks reported a normal turnout with the ballot heavier than usual in the residential districts, per cent of the total and in Bismarck it increased from about 12 to 25 per cent. This ratio was not borne out, how- ever, in the ballots cast by hand. Three sets of candidates appear on the Republican ballot, where the ma- Jor interest centers. One was endorsed by the Nonparti- san convention at Jamestown; anoth- In addition there were several in- dividual candidates, most of whom have been affiliated with the Inde- Pendents in the past but whom In- dependents say were injected into the campaign by the Langerites this year.
