D., Oct. 17.—(P)—"A su- | preme court non-political campaign | committee” has been set up in Cass county to work for the election of; James Morris to the supreme court, and the re-election of Justice W. L.| Nuessle and A. G. Burr. C. B. Simons of Fargo is secretary. | The committee, which includes 21 farmers, business and_ professional men and women from all sections of the county and of varying political affiliations, has adopted the slogan: “Help Keep Our Courts Out of Poli- tics; Vote for Nuessle, Burr and Mor- ris.” A statement from the committee says in part: “Because Judge W. L. Nuessle and Judge A. G. Burr have dared to de- cide important matters in accordance with the law of the land they are be- ing attacked in the present cam- paign. This shows to what extent... selfish interests will go to attain their ends. “We are not actively engaged in politics. We kave different political views and different vocations in life. ‘We are farmers, business men and professional men, but as citizens of the same state we lay these differ- ences aside to unite in this appeal to the people of Cass county to elect Judge Nuessle, Judge Burr and James Morris as members of the supreme court, and thus emphatically rebuke all those who would seek to make the court subservient to political or per- sonal influence.” BUSINESS CAINS IN NORTHWEST STATES: Federal Reserve Bank Report Shows Considerable Larger Volume for Sept. ‘Minneapolis, Oct. 17.—(?)—Septem- ber business in the ninth federal re- gerve district held gains made in August and showed considerably lar- ger volume than in September, 1933, the federal reserve bank of Minne- ‘polis reported Wednestay. Retail trade spurted to a higher level than a year ago, city | partment stores gaining 12 per cent) im sales and 313 county stores aver- aging an increase of 27 per cent over a year ago. Every section of the district, which includes Minnesota, Wisconsin, upper | Thi Michigan, i@4'7.~a7d South Dakota end Montana, showed increased sales, but the greatest increases were shown in the Red River valley and south- western Minnesota, eastern South Dakota and the plains section of} Montana. | The index of bank debits for the district declined from 64 in August to 61 in September, although the! debits still were 12 per cent higher than a year ago and country check clearings 31 per cent higher. | Farm income from seven major items in the district was estimated at two per cent lower than a year NULL JURY WAITS ASLAWYERS ARGUE Testimony to Be Offered by| ‘Key’ Witness Is Subject of Dispute the mail fraud trial of Samuel Insull and his 16 co-defendants waited out- side the courtroom Wednesday as de- fense counsel waged a lengthy verbal battle to prevent the introduction of summarizing testimony by govern- b mental accountants. Carl A. Herring, first of the eight “key” witnesses through whom the government hopes to show what is contained in the 2,500 documents al- ready on the court's 22-foot book shelf, waited to make a reappearance | Medicine on the stand. i Counsel on both sides sought to| Miles, City, establish what testimony Herring could properly give and to what ex- tent he would have to go in citing the basis for his statements. Leslie E. Salter, special govern-|O* ment prosecutor, contended that the witness should not be limited to a/ summary of what the books contain-| ed, but should also be allowed to give |St. Louis, Mo. analyses, conclusions and tabula- / 8's. After a half-hour of argument, Judge Wilkerson declared that the only logical procedure was to put the witness on the stand and to see if each question met the test of the law.

STOLL NEW ALIGNMENTS IN POLITICS FORECAST Observers See Nov. 6 Poll at Crossroads for American Party Setup Washington, Oct. 17.—()—On Nov. 6 American politics may reach a cross- voad, perhaps a historic turning point. That is the forecast of many ob- Servers watching the congress! and gubernatorial campaigns. A rec-| ord-breaking number of parties and tickets has entered the field to joust with the old-time organizations. New alignments are considered a possible result of the November balloting. Some say the outcome of the elec- tions will decide whether the progres- sive movement in the west has enough Strength to put up a national ticket 4 | in 1936 and whether the Republicans will revamp their organization for future contests. . That the Democrats will sweep a lot of congressional and state elections is conceded although Republican | leaders continue to say they will make 93 | 82ins in the house and in guberna- torial contests. The G.O.P. declines to concede senate losses despite Dem- ccratic predictions of gains. One of the advocates of a progres- 00 | sive third party ticket for 1936 said that if Senator Robert M. LaFollette, F4 Jr., is elected on the progressive slate in Wisconsin, that movement will gain nation-wide support. He pre- dicted it would receive backing of a major portion of all liberals, unless the “New Deal” leans farther to the left. The suggestion has been made in some G.O.P. circies that a new party label might be adopted to appeal to the conservatives in the Democratic party in the south, where the name Republican always has been anathe- ma. Should this materialize and the Progressives gain the ground they ex- pect, three major parties Te- sSult—one extremely liberal, one con- servative and the Democratic “New Deal” party composed of the mass of voters between these two. Two More Counties Favor Corn-Hog Plan. Fargo, N. D., Oct. 17.—(@)—Two more North Dakota counties, Towner and Billings, voted heavily in favor of continuing the corn-hog adjust- ment program for 1935, it is reported by the extension department of the North Dakota Agricultural college. The vote on the two proposals, one ; to continue the present corn-hog Program through 1935, the second to combine all benefit programs in a follows: 1935 Corn-Hog 1036 One-Farm Yes No Billings 230 Towner 4 8 There were a total of 283 corn-hog contracts in Billings, 28 in Towner.

ALLIED, SAYS FLOOD AAA Committeeman Outlines National Reconstruction Program at Rotary Comparing the rise and fall of agri- cultural prices to the trends of fa tory payrolls, Francis Flood, agricul- tural adjustment committeeman from ‘Washington, asserted Wednesday that “you cannot divorce the fields of agriculture and business because they are so closely inter-dependent that one cannot exist without the other.” Flood, speaking before the local Rotary club in his third address since coming here from Washirigton with ‘Walter Maddock and A. R. Shumway of Milton, Ore., recounted the vast expenditures of the federal govern- ment made to rehabilitate agriculture under the AAA program. No chosen few but all farmers may participate and receive benefits from the adjustment program, Flood point- ed out. “No one can justify a criti- bre which has this nature of re- lief.” Driving home the point that the adjustment program has not cost one cent in taxes, Flood said that the pro- cessing tax moneys, collected to date, amount to approximately $506,000,000 while the total expended is $406,000,- 000, This leaves a $100,000,000 reserve out of which future payments will be made. Of special interest to people of North Dakota is the fact that benefit payments in the state will offset the tax collections this year, which ap- proximate $14,000,000, Flood said. Farmers realized more money from the 1934 crop than they did in 1932 when the production was five times as great as this year, he said, Looking into the future, Flood said balance on wheat payments and other benefit programs. ‘Walter Maddock introduced Flood A large number of Mandan Ro- Rotary quartet, J.

CONTINUED from page one Former Inmate of Insane Asylum Is Sought for Crime In compliance with the ransom note left by the kidnaper the money was sent by express to Thomas H. Robinson, Sr., father of the accused kidnaper. The father was named as intermediary in the first ransom note. The money was delivered to Robin- son’s Nashvsie home by a federal company employe. The father took the pack- age to his daughter-in-law Monday afternoon, following instructions re- ceived in another note in which Mrs. Robinson, Jr., was named as a second intermediary.' Mrs. Robinson, Jr., took a train for Terre Haute, Ind. During these transactions both Mrs. Robinson and her father-in-law were under observa- tion by government men. Even the number of her train reservation was known, Trail Picked Up Again Apparently the trail was lost there, but it reappeared Tuesday in Indian- apolis, At 3:30 Tuesday afternoon two women appeared at the residence of the Rev. Arnold Clegg (no relation to Federal Agent H. H. Clegg who car- Tied out the Nashville investigation). “I am Alice Stoll,” said one of the women to Mrs. Clegg—a cousin of ‘Berry Stoll—“and this is my friend.” Mrs. Stoll asked permission to call Louisville.

The total expenditures were $1,- 828,396,679. Of these the outgo emergency purposes was $1,015,443,- 339, in spite of repayments of $125,- 000,000 by the Reconstruction corpor- ation and $10,000,000 by the federal Deposit Insurance corporation. President Roosevelt in his budget imessage to congress lust January, estimated that the total emergency cost for the current fiscal year end- ing next June 30 would be $723,286,- 500, after FRC repayments of $480,- 436,600. However, the president had esti- mated emergency expenditures for the fiscal’ year ending last June 30 at approximately 2% billion more than the amount actually used. The federal emergency relief ad- ministration contributed $444,000,000: to this year’s emergency costs, with highways coming second at $152,000,- 000. Emergency conservation work accounted for $116,000,000. The farm administration has spent $80,000,000, which, however, was bal- anced by $166,000,000 of processing’ tax revenues. All of the excess is earmarked for payments to farmers cooperating in crop control plans. FIRMS MESSENGER ROBBED OF $4,202 Hancock-Nelson Grocery Co.
