“ ge i { iv THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1936 €@) SOCIETY and CLUBS Community Council Is Asked |My) to at Dinner To Help Make City Friendly Coulee Beautification and Im- munization Clinic Plans Are Outlined That her mission is to make new residents of Bismarck happy as they have a right to be was the definition of her job of city hostess which Mrs. D. E. Shipley gave to the Women’s Community Council at the April ses- sion of the welfare group. Mrs. Shipley, who recently was named to the city hostess post by the Association of Commerce, requested the cooperation of council delegates and their groups. She stated that material assistance will be given if people call her at 140 or 1739 and give her the names of new arrivals coming to their attention. “Mrs: Ship- ley also distributed self-addressed cards to be used for this purpose. She will follow up these notifica- tions with personal calls on the new families, or employed girls. In this call, she ‘will give the housewife a bouquet and also will leave a booklet describing the advantages of Bismarck. At the same time she will get church and club or lodge affiliations of the newcomer in order to establish con- tact for them with members or heads of the congregations or groups. Mrs. Shipley stressed the need for express- ing friendliness by means of calls on}, new residents. Will Push Park Project Reports by several delegates on their organization’s reaction to a project beautifying the coulee north of the city led to a motion that the commit- tee on the project wait upon the city | and county commissions before their | next meeting to see what can be done about relinquishing back taxes on the Property.

William Langer for Governor and the Whole Regular Nonpartisan Ticket.” It Treads as follows: “Resolved, That in view of the fact that the Hon. William Langer faith- fully kept his platform pledges made in 1932, that the United States Court of Appeals and later the United States district court for North Dakota, with an impartial judge presiding, found the charges against his character framed up by political adversaries, to be baseless; that the regularly called state convention of the Nonpartisan League held in Patterson hall, Bis- marck, N. D., March 3-5, 1936, unani- mously endorsed him as a candidate for governor on the Republican bal- lot at the June primary election, we do hereby and herein, pledge ourselves, ‘as members of Club No. 1, of Bismarck, N. D., to do all that is possible within our power, to advance not only the candidacy of William Langer, but also every candidate on the Repular Non- Partisan League ticket.

Johnson of Williston and Miss Isabel Campbell of Bismarck, all zranch members, There also was a display of pottery and soap carving done by Miss Ruth Rudser, who re- cently became art instructor in the } local schools. \ Miss Beiler Speaks Miss Beiler arrived here late Friday afterncon and was the main speaker on the evening program, telling in- formally of her studies at the Art In- stitute of Chicago and explaining in detail characteristics of modern paint- ing which she studied during a course last summer. These, she summarized, are lavish use of paint and color and sharp definition of strokes. Qyestions asked by the audience brought out interesting stories about the models for the various pictures and the technique of instruction in 'art schools. Miss Beiler is art in- |structor at Dickinson Teachers col- lege. Her painting, terra cotta and charcoal work and illustrations have attracted much favorable attention and have been exhibited widely re- cently in North and South Dakota. Mrs, Elsie Smith Parker, Mandan, who presided, outlined the career of Miss Johnson, who has won the re- cognition of being made mural paint- er for state WPA projects. Review Literary Works Edna LaMoore Waldo, North Da- kota national vice president of the Pen Women, told briefly of the poetry volume, “Lights and Shadows,” which soon will be published by Anne Murry Movius, Lidgerwood. She read selec- tions to be included. The second edition of Mrs. Waldo’s “Dakota” which will come from the presses of the Caxton company, Cald- well, Idaho, in September was de- scribed by Miss Josephine Hosch, branch president. “Dakota,” first published privately in October, 1932, has been sold extensively in the Unit- ed States and abroad and was char- acterized by Miss Hosch as an in- | formal, readable account of territorial } days. Musical features of the program were two vocal solos, the Swedish folk song, “When I Was Seventeen,” ar- ranged by A. Walter Kramer, and “Phyllis Takes Her Vocal Lesson,” sung by Miss Ethel Sandin with Miss Belle Mehus at the piano, and & piano number, Schumann's “Novel- ette, No. 1, Opus 21,” by Robert Kling. Mrs’ Waldo presided at the tea table which was centered with yellow roses combined with snapdragons and light- ed with yellow tapers, Miss Camp- bell and Mrs. J. Henry Kling made general arrangements for the exhibit. Mrs. Parker piesned the program. * * Mrs. M, E.

Bridge was the Bismarck ‘Homemakers Hear of Play Contest Mrs, Roy Cartledge, president, gave an informal account of the district play contest held at Dickinson April 11 when the Bismarck Homemakers’ club had a meeting Friday afternoon. The club had entered “David's Quiet Evening,” which won first place in the Burleigh county competition. Plans for the 1936 Achievement day, scheduled for June, were dis- cussed.

PERTINAX With charity for all and malice toward none Apology to Dugald Stewart Everyone is familiar with the claims of rival political managers as to at- If 200 attend, a really optimistic observer never makes an estimate of less than 600. It is a sort of political multipli- cation table and is taken for granted. But it is rare indeed that anyone reports ‘a political meeting which never happened—and that is the rea- son for this apology to Mr. Dugald Stewart, a sturdy citizen of Bowman who has lived in that city for many years, In addition to Mr. Stewart, apolo- gies also are extended to H. N. Fisher of Bowman and L. K. Morland of Scranton, together with all others whose names were mentioned in a story which appeared in one of The Tribune's editions for April 8. It Looked Innocent It all began with receipt by this newspaper of & letter written by one John M——_———, who gave an ac- count of whft purported to have been @ progressive Democratic meeting held at New England, N. D. The meeting was said to have been attended by some 60 Democrats of the progressive persuasion and to have endorsed a slate of candidates, including a legis- lative ticket, after setting up an or- ganization. Such items are frequently received and it was accepted as a matter of course. The fact that nothing but the first letter of the last name could be deciphered was a little annoying. But neither was that unusual. A good many signatures to letters are care- lessly written and illegible. So the item was printed in good faith and circulated through The Tribune to its readers in the south- western part of the state. The Storm Breaks The storm broke on April 11. Mr. Stewart, prominently mentioned as aforesaid, in a letter to this news- paper, said: “I have attended nosuch meeting nor have I given consent to the use of my name.” He further asserted that he had no connection with the movement described and asked that correction be made. The Tribune is glad to make such correc- tion. It was as much a dupe in the incident as was Mr. Stewart or his fellows. On April 13, Attorney Mark H. Amundson wrote in behalf of Mr. Fisher, saying the latter had not at- tended the meeting, knew nothing about it and wanted correction made. He, too, was a victim of a report from whole cloth. Also on April 13 came a letter from F. K. Morland, calling attention to the fact that the report was erro- neous and—we might as well tell the whole story—calling attention to the fact that New England is not in the 39th legislative district, as the story intimated that it was. He, along with the others, expressed curiosity as to how such an item got into a reputable newspaper. They Are Right Investigation by The Tribune shows that the three gentlemen are correct. No such meeting was held at New England, hence none of them were present and they were not endorsed for any of the offices mentioned in connection with their names. In short, The Tribune was hoaxed and they were joined with it as victims of the hoax. Pull details of the matter are given in justice to the men whose names thus were politically taken in vain and that others who read the item may know the facts. ‘This newspaper tries to be accurate in its presentation of news and where a mistake is made it always is willing to make full and complete correc- tion. Incidentally, there ought to be a campaign for the legible signing of names. One North Dakota business man with an illegible signature said, in discussing this incident, that he always typewrites his name under his signature so that persons getting let- ters from him may know who he is. Meanwhile, if John M————— sends in any more political reports they will be tossed into the waste- basket. Democratic Rumblings Rumblings continue along the Dem- ocratic front and the best guess now is that the Democrats of North Da- kota are divided into. three factions, just as the Republicans are. The first faction, of course, is the so-called organization group still led by H. H. Perry, former national com- mitteeman in name as well as in fact and contended by some Democrats to be committeeman in fact if not in name at this writing. He was one of the committeemen who resigned their political positions because President Roosevelt demanded that party offi- cials resign either their federal jobs or their political titles. Perry did the —_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_——_— GUSSNER’S We take orders for gar- den and lawn fertilizer. GUSSNER’S Phone 1060 - _ Candidates, Attention! !

The third group is composed of the more or less innocent bystanders, those not actively aligned with either! of the others. This setup, it will be noted, paral- lels the Republican position in which! two Nonpartisan factions are at war| and the IVA group is on the sidelines. Holt on Second Ballot | Right now the Democrats are look- ing forward to their state convention next month at which candidates for state office will be endorsed-and, as usual, chief intérest centers in the gubernatorial endorsement. The best guess, right now, is that Henry Holt of Grand Forks will win the convention's favor on the second ballot. He has the Perry endorse- ment, and Perry still controls the fed- eral patronage. If the situation in other parts of the state is similar to that in several western North Dakota counties, a lot of favorite-son aspirants will get sup-: Port on the first ballot. On the sec- ond ballot enough of these will go to Holt to put him over. That, at least, is the picture now. Not By Any Means This, of course, does not mean that Holt will be the nominee. Not by a/ jugful. The convention nominee will) have a real fight on his hands in the primary election race with Former Gov, Ole H. Olson, a professed Demo- crat for the last two years. There will be some agitation for Olson at the Devils Lake convention but his endorsement there is a remote possibility. In fact, his name may not even go on the floor. Opposition to him in some Demo- cratic ranks is frankly based on the idea that he would not listen to the organization on patronage matters. They envision him, if elected, appoint- ing the people whom he wanted with- out too much regard for the operators of the Democratic political machinery. In that they are right beyond ques- tion, hence the breach between, Olson and the “machine” is irreparable. On the other hand, there are many who have not been given federal posts who yearn for Democratic victory in a state campaign. They know that'] the only way the Democrats are going to get more jobs than they have now is to get control of the various state departments. These Democrats are looking for a candidate who might win in the fall but whether or not they are represented in numbers at Devils Lake remains to be seen. The Old Blowtorch A curious development in this situa- tion is the manner in which the Perry supporters are applying the heat to) Thomas H. Moodie, WPA alministra- tor, and Howard Wood, head of the resettlement administration. So far as can be learned, neither of these men is taking an active part in the campaign. So far as the public knows they are Perry supporters. The| fact that they are not is disclosed, not by them but by the manner in; which the Perry machine operators} are applying the blowtorch to the| seats of their respective political! pants. Now it so happens that these two, agencies have reached and are reach-, ing more North Dakotans than any: other units of either the state or fed-| eral government. Perhaps more than | all others combined. If Moodie and ‘Wood were to abandon their present attitude and fight back they might/» be able to muster surprising support in the Democratic primary. If they do fight back it probably will be in support of Olson, long a personal friend of each man, though neither had a hand in the develop- ments whereby Olson was brought to the front as a candidate. Gathering the Sinews _ Both Nonpartisan camps are en- gaged right now in gathering thej| sinews of war for the coming cam-; jj paign. Those, dear folks, in case an; SS other support of a “substantial” na- ture. How they are getting along is, of course, a very close secret but that each group is using identical meth- ods is apparent. Even the forces opposed to the re- election of Gov. Walter Welford are attempting to “contact” epeople on the state payroll. In so doing they have introduced a new wrinkle which, in some quarters, won more anger than applause. The effort was a form letter, sent out by Elwood Eck as secretary-treas- urer of the anti-Welford group. At the top was a number written in ink. Below was an appeal for money, ad- dressed to “Dear Fellow Leaguers and Progressives.” An illuminating part of the letter is this sentence, “The Nonpartisan League has made it pos- sible for you to be employed and if not employed, as a lve we expect you to contribute to this fund.” The unusual punctuation is that con- tained in the form letter. The letter then goes on to say that the recipient of the letter has been assigned the number at the top of! the letter and that remittance may be made using the number only. Re- ceipts will be made out to the number but, if the donor later wishes to pre- sent his numbered receipts his name will be formally listed. Sharpening the Axe Behind this plan, of course, is the recognition that some holders of po- litical jobs may wish to play both ends against the middle by donating to both Welford and his opponents. The number idea might have been intended to lend that touch of mys- really completing the job of “growing up.” ip.’ Incidentally, there is a threat, not very well veiled, that the Welford opponents are checking on persons in state offices. The intimation is clear that state employes will be thrown out, in the event they win, unless those employes can show that they contributed to the campaign fund. Welford adherents also are putting the pressure on the payroll and they, Like the Grip of a Friendly Hand Windstorm Insurance assures YOU Reimbursement after Dis- aster.

Two per cent has been about the standard for years and is less than half of the five per cent about which so much was heard several years ago when Welford’s present opponents were in power. By Common Consent Not all of the people on the state payroll in departments controlled by Welford and his adherents are for the governor in this campaign and that fact is well known at the capitol, Nevertheless, many of them will con- tinue to hold their jobs. The reason is that the governor takes no delight in removing a man from a job which means bread and butter. By a sort of tacit agreement these people, while they are not help- ing in the campaign, are doing noth- ing against the administration. ATTENTION A.0.U.W.
