NYE IS CONFIDENT MOODIE, SINCLAIR WILL SWEEP STATE Lines Broken; Sees Strong Trend Developing Asserting that there is a definite trend away from Langerism, Senator Gerald P. Nye dropped into Bis- marck Thursday confident that Thomas H. .Moodie, Democratic gub- ernatorial candidate, and James H. Sinclair, candidate for congress in the independent column, will be elected November 6. He based his belief on conversa- tions held with hundreds of people in all parts of the state who were with Langer in June but who are against him now. ‘The reason, as he interprets the situation, is that people are seeking eonstructive action, are sick of bally- hoo. They have had time to think quietly of the state’s situation and have reached a decision in their own minds. Nye's belief also is bolstered by the size of the crowds and the cordiality which has greeted him in all parts of the state. At Valley City, LaMoure, Lisbon, Streeter, Edgeley and other places, he said the meetings have been un- usually well attended, the Lisbon meeting being one of the largest political gatherings in the history of janized| the town. At Napoleon Wednesday night, the local theater was filled to overflowing. High Interest Shown “The people are show:ng tremend- cus interest in the issues and every- where there is decided evidence of abandonment of the Langer cause,” Nye said. “Sinclair is going to win in spite of the handicap of being in the individual nomination column. Everywhere there is a rallying to his cause that insures a large force of, kelp in acquainting the voters with the presence of his name on the bal- lot. People feel that his defeat at the June primary was a thoughtless injustice and are out to correct it. “Moodie sentiment is growing into @ sweeping movement. Everywhere the Langerites are showing signs of broken confidence and distress. The issues of the campaign are being bet- ter understood each day and I be-! Heve what two weeks ago I could; not believe, namely that Moodie can) and will win and that Sinclair is go- ing to win by a decided majonity.” Nye will campaign through the western part of the state the rest of this week and will leave Sunday for Wisconsin where he will campaign a few days for Senator Robert M.

Signs that the White House and some spokesmen for business are find- ing more common ground in their ap- proach to certain recovery problems were underscored Thursday when it became clear that President Roose- velt’s intentions on rural housing bear marked resemblances to the views of Henry I. Harriman, presi- dent of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. The president let it be known Wed- nesday that he favors an expansion of rural building activities, as well as slum clearance. The home building in rural communities, which fits into Mr. Roosevelt's often-stressed ideas for decentralization of industry, was described as aimed to get people off relief rolls. About the same time, in a speech at Memphis, Tenn., Harriman was tack- ling the problems of “unemployment and economic insecurity” in similar vein. “I hope that future expenditures of | the federal government for relief | work will take the form of the con- struction of well-designed, inexpen- | sive homes within 10, 20 or 30 miles | of our great centers, each home hav- ing not less than two acres of land. If one or two million families could thus be moved, the whole social and economic problem would be changed and the burden of relief would be lifted,” he said. The tenor of the speech was re- garded as significant because less than a month ago the directors of the chamber, seeking what many busi- nessmen call “assurances,” were pub- questions to the president, who gave the queries a cool reception. Since that time the president has made a radio talk to the nation, and @ series of conferences with bankers and businessmen has started at the Harriman said: “I would cite President Roosevelt's radio address of Sept. 30 as contain- -|3, A.

Wilson Represents U. S. at Ceremonies | (Copyright, 1934, by the Associates Press) Belgrade. Oct. 18—The body of the {murdered King Alexander was placed | Thursday near those of his ances- tors in the royal memorial chapel in | Topolo. Fe While 50 men bore the sarcophagus up a hill through tree-lined lanes ito the chapel all activities through- out Yugoslavia remained at a stand still for two minutes as the commor people paid tribute to their fallen king. Then, as Alexander was laid in the {tomb which he had only recently completed, church bells were tolled throughout the country. They mingled strangely with heavy gun: on land and sea which roared out ¢ mighty dirge. Trumpeters sounded a farewel taps for the dead soldier-sovereign. “Mignon,” as Alexander called his wife, the Dowager Queen Marie, took leave of her royal consort and the doors of the tomb were closed. Troops Massed Along Street Massed thousands of mourner: were held back by troops standing shoulder to shoulder as the funeral train passed from Belgrade to Topolo. Only children were allowed on the right side of the route, enabling troops to supervise more efficiently the activities of adults on the left. Spectators were not allowed to carry canes or umbrellas, despite a drizzling rain. An atmosphere of terror prevailed, lest anarchists attempt to take the lives of the three kings in the funeral cortege—little Peter II, son of Alexander; Carol of Rumania, his uncle, and Boris of Bulgaria. Secret service agents made many arrests as they mingled among the crowd, seeking firearms and bombs. It was a great national, indeed an irternational, pageant of sorrow for the king who was assassinated while offering the hand of friendship to France. All Nations Pay Tribute There were present not alone Yugoslavia’s grief-stricken legions but distinguished representatives of all nations of the world. Among al; the visiting kings and princes aud hundreds of foreign delegates dressed in resplendent gold-braided uniforms laden with decorations, the figure of American minister Charles 8. Wilson in simple black civilian clothes was a picture of quiet dignity and democracy. Preceding the royal sarcophagus a distinguished Serbian general carried the murdered sovereign’s glittering crown which seemed to typify the tragic splendor of his death. The same crown will be worn by the child king Peter when he reaches the age of 18. But the sight that moved all hearts was the ll-year old king Peter II. dressed with the simplicity of an American schoolboy. The earnest youngster seemed to embody all the future hopes of the Yugoslav na- tion, The crowds wept minglec tears cf grief and joy as he passed. Walking between two queens, his ‘mother, Marie of Yugoslavia and his grandmother, Marie of Rumania, Peter was flanked on all sides by armed officers. There was little chance for a terrorist bomb or gun- shot to reach him. After the king’s body left the Cath- edral the funeral cortege was led by a Serbian ecclesiastical dignitary bearing a glittering bronze cross, while another priest carried a tray of corn emblematic of the reincarnation. | Minot Veterinarian | Loses Car to Bandit Minot, N.
