agate MOSES IS GIANT OF DEMOCRATIC TICKET Candidate for Attorney General Came to U. S. From Nor- way at Age of 20 . Physically the giant of the North Dakota Democratic ticket, for he stands 6 feet 4 inches tall, and nom- inated for perhaps the most import-| ant post, is John Moses of Hazen in| Mercer county, the canslidate for at-| torney general. Moses was born in Strand. Norway, June 12, 1885, the scn of Henrik Bauer Moses and Isabella F. D. Moses. His father was a minister 4; the Norwegian State -hurch, which is of the Lutheran denomination. While Mr. Moses’ parents and his/ immediate forbears weirs Norwegians. | the family and its name originated; in Scotland. His great-great-great-| gzeat grandfather, John Moses, inj company with two other Scotchmen, | John Ramsey and John Ord, came to! Christiansund, Norway in 1742. They} Probably were skippers of vessels en- gaged in fishing and the buying and selling of fish. They established} themselves in business in Christian-| sund. | Moses’ great grandfather was a mer- chant in Christiansund. He repre- sented his city at the first Norwegian parliament which declared the inde-| pendence of Norway and adopted a constitution May 17, 1814. Came to U. S. at 20 i ‘The western North Dakota man re- ceived his early education, including Junior college, in Oslo, Norway. He! came to the United States as 8) youth of 20. His first work in his} adopted land was as a section laborer | for the Great Northern Railway at Benson, Minn., where he worked sev- eral months. He also worked on a) Swift county farm several months before going to St. Paul where hej obtained employment in the claim; department of the Great Northern. ‘There he worked as an investigator for five years. In 1911 he first came to North ‘Dakota to reside, as secretary of the Valley City State Teachers col- lege. Later he entered the University of North Dakota where he graduated from the college of Liberal Arts with @ B. A. degree in 1914. Not content with the extent of his echooling, for he now had firmly de- termined on making the law his fe work, he continued at the univer- sity in the college of law. Because of his high standing in his legal studies, he was graduated in 1915 with the degree of Turis Doctor. Moses had worked his way by keeping books in @ Grand Forks hotel. Active in student affairs while at the university, he was, manager of the track team, member of. the athletics board of control; business manager of the Dakota Student, university newspaper; member of Sigma Nu, social fraternity and Phi Alpha Delta, honorary legal fraternity. Admitted to the bar in June, 1915, he practiced for a short time at Hope end Hebron before establishing his residence at Hazen in 1917, where he has lived and practiced since. Attcrney for Mercer County During the World War, Moses twice tried to enlist but cach time was re- fused because of poor vision. Five times Moses was elected state's attorney of Mercer county, serving from 1919 to 1923 and being elected to office again in 1927 and serving to 1933. For a number of years he served as a member and president of the school board at Hazen, as presi- dent of the Mercer County Water Conservation association, is director | and president of the Union State Penk ef Hazen. He is a director of the North Dakota Historical Society | ard active in numerous other civic | and community affairs. Married, Mr, Moses is the father of four children. Mrs. Moses was Ethel Lillian Joslyn, the daughter of James Knox Jeslyn and Clara Rugg Joslyn, both of Massachusetts Rev- olutionary War stock. Mrs. Moses’ father was a pioneer of Steele county, homesteading there in 1885, and dying there in 1919. Their children are John 15; James Joslyn 12; Mary Jean 10; Robert Henrik 6. The Moses’ at- tend the English Lutheran church. Moses has been prominent in North Dakota Masonic activities. He is an Officer of the Grand Lodge, A. F. & A.

Cali- | Valley In a setting of rare natural beauty, workmen here advance to another important stage in construction of the $37,500,000 Norris dam in the Clinch river in Tennessce. It's all in the day's work to them, but spectacular to the spectator, as the riggers attach the cableway pulleys to the first section of penstock to be laid in the dam. Steel pipes inside the flume hold it in shape and will be removed later. The flume will deliver the water from Norris lake through the dam to the powerhouse turbines. Preventing Winter Injury of Lawns Lawn grasses are so hardy that no damage is done to them by low tem- peratures alone. But extensive win- ter damage may result from poor drainage, and from the heaving ac- tion of alternate freezing and thaw- ing. Water expands when frozen and) contracts when it thaws. Since soil is usually moist in the winter, expan- tion by proper attention this fall, though it would be much better if it were cared for throughout the sea- son, and fed to produce a heavy growth which will kill out weeds, and resist the heat of mid-summer.

Democracy Q—What 1s this story I hear about Thomas Moodie, the Democratic can- didate for governor, supporting Her- bert Hoover in his last campaign?— J. J. D., Dunn Center, N. D. A—It is a baseless story. It prob- ably originates from the fact that at various times when Moodie worked on Republican newspapers he was requir- ed to write editorials in the interests of the Republican cause. At heart and at the polls, Moodie always has been a Democrat. The only Repub- lican president he admits to ever voting for was the late Theodore Roo- Sevelt in 1904, Q—May the owner of any kind of property apply for a loan under the Federal Housing Act?—E. J. K., Bis- marck. A—Applications will be considered for credit to improve one-family, two- family, or other residences; apart- ment buildings, stores, office build- | ings, factories, warehouses and farm buildings. Q—Recently the Langer subsidized newspaper carried a story stating the Democrats were rapping the Frazier- Lemke bill. It declared the story came from the Democratic state headquar- ters, What is the stand of the Demo- crats on this measure?—R. J. C., Bis- marck, A—This is one of the most vicious, unprincipled and malicious editorial tricks played during this campaign. It befits any editor who sells his soul for 30 pieces of silver. The original story was received on mailing day from what was thought to be a reliable source. It proved otherwise. Instruc- tions were mailed to all editors to de- stroy the story. Evidently an uh- ethical editor who has forfeited all right to the respect of his fellows de- livered the story to Langer billboard. How do the Democrats stand on the refinancing of debts? We quote from Postmaster General James A. Farley's address in Fargo, Sept. 22—“During 1933, loans made through the St. Paul Federal Land Bank rose to a total of 34% million dollars. And in 1934, to the first of September, the loans made by the various agencies of the Farm Credit Administration reached the total for this district of $179,000,- 000. Here is the answer to the farm- er’s question. It should assure you that under the Roosevelt administra- tion, you have at last a government that has a heart and that will func- tion in the interests of the people at all times.” Q—Mrs. William Langer in her key- note address here stated that the r roads, banks and other capitalistic in- dustries were supporting the North Dakota Democratic party. I can not reconcile her statement with the fact’ that the railroads have been unfriend- ly to the Democratic-sponsored Rail- way Pension Act, the exchanges with Grass|the Federal Securities Act, the banks with the Federal Deposit Insurance corporation, the monopolistic indus- tries with NRA. Am I right or wrong?. —R, C. E., New Rockford, N. D. A—You'are right. It is a typical Langer political trick. Any persons with clear vision and acute hearing should have seen and heard during the past 12 months that the Roosevelt. administration has not had the sup- port of the parties you name. And don’t forget that the North Dakota Democratic party stands 100 per cent behind Roosevelt. —Has President Roosevelt redeem- ed his promise of aiding the farmer? —O. H. L., Hatton, A—The best answer to that question is a comparison of farm income for the year 1932-33 with 1933-34. In 1932-33 the American farmers took in an estimated $3,881,C00,000. In 1933- 34 they received $5,083,000,000. In other words farm relief measures of the Roosevelt administration increased farm income $1,202,000,000 in one year. Q-In the Defendér, newspaper published at Dunn Center, an editorial written by Usher L, Burdick asserts that the Republican candidates are! the real progressives and supporters of Roosevelt, that the Democratic can- didates for congress are not. Why didn’t these “Roosevelt progressives” obtain the endorsement and nomina- tion of North Dakota Democrats then?—A, J. B., Dunn Center. A—Mr. Burdick and others on the Republican ticket are political oppor- tunists. They are ever alert to clim! onto the political bandwagon that seems to be winning. They've been Pounding on the back doors of po- litical parties for years, Their vacil- lation, their refusal to stay on one side of the fence or the other, has marked them as political outcasts. Right now they happen to have been cast up on the Republican desert island where they are about as wel- come as @ Bolshevik in the Statue of tance and hope their cries will foot the Democratic ship-of-state and its sailors, Let them call themselves Progressives, Republicans, Democrats, CONTINUE from page one Suspect Offered Gold Note; Friend Substituted Coin whether he entertained visitors on that date. Wife’s Stories Differ Mrs. Hauptmann, the state police head added, has given authorities several different stories accounting for the whereabouts of her husband and herself on the kidnap night, and now tells questioners that “she does not remember, but believes her hus- band was at home with her.” He declined to reveal the progress Koehler is making in his attempt to link the kidnap ladder with tools found in Hauptmann’s garage, say- ing he was “following our policy of protecting evidence.” Questioned regarding a report that @ friend of Hauptmann, a Mrs. Auch- enbach, had said the German was “on a trip” at the time of the kid- naping, Schwarzkopf said Captain John J. Lamb had interviewed the woman in New York and that she had said nothing about a trip. District Attorney Samuel Foley of the Bronx arrived at the capitol at noon and went immediately to the office of Attorney General David T. few minutes with Wilentz and | predictions that should extradition state police. A luncheon conference, to be at- tended by Gov. A. Harry Moore, “also was planned.

Charles Lindbergh, through his emissary, “Jafsie,” passed $50,000 through a Bronx cemetery hedge for the return Of Charles, Jr. The baby already was dead. Mental Exam Later Hauptmann’s mental examination has been set tentatively for later ‘Tuesdi ay. Foley said that Hauptmann, un- employed for almost a year, got un- der the gold ban on March 13, 1933, by depositing about $1,350 in gold coins and certificates in a bank on Broadway and exchanging about $580 in gold certificates for other bills at the federal reserve bank. Little chance remained of deter- mining whether they were part of |farmers at the polls this week. ! The poll is a part of the national referendum which the AAA is con ducting to obtain direct farm senti- ment on whether another agricultural adjustment program is wanted. The AAA is asking farmers to vote “yes” or “no” to two questions: “Do you favor an adjustment pro- gram dealing. with corn and hogs in 1935?” and “do you favor a one-con- tract per farm adjustment program dealing with grain and livestock to become effective in 19362" : Towa’s answers to these questions, although they will not actually de- termine the future course of the farm administration, are expected to bear'|is the cause of contention dividing great weight with the AAA, since this|the house of Vanderbilt.
