Townsend, old-age pension leader, and the remnartits of the share-the-wealth movement launched by the late Senator Huey Long. The latter two groups have been represented as having a “close work- ing agreement” with Coughlin. They ‘will consider the Lemke candidacy at @ convention to be held in Cleveland in July, Coughlin. Gives Approval Father Coughlin gave the pair his approval in s radio address Friday night in which he characterized the ‘Union party as an “escape from the }dole standard of Roosevelt and the gold standard of Landon.” His description.of the new ticket was: “Lemke and Yale, agriculture Vest. “Protestant and Catholic, possess- ing one program of driving the money changers from the temple, of per- mitting the wealth of America to flow freely into every home.” He said he could support neither the “Old deal exploiters—their sun has set, never to rise again”—nor the New Deal. Will Seek Both Jobs The new candidacy stirred inter- ‘est everywhere, but in North Dakota the chief cause of speculation was whether Lemke would seek election to both the presidency and congress. Lemke answered that question in Washington by saying he would run for both positions. Governor Walter Welford said the development would complicate the "situation in this state and that what Pictured above are scenes as fire razed the Bismarck creamery plant of Armour and Company early Fri- day morning.

FRANCE FORMULATES OWN DERENSE PLANS Objects to British Proposal for Coalition in West But Not in East Paris, June 20.—(?)—France has formulated her own plan for reor- ganization of the League of Nations and will present it at Geneva June 26, sources close to the foreign office said Saturday. The French plan will follow the general lines of the British proposal recently rejected by Premier Leon Blum’s government, informed sources declared. (The British suggestion envisaged regional security pacts for western, objected to the suggestion because Germany was included in the west- ern alliance but was excluded from the east.) The French, it .was reported, would substitute a different lineup of na- tions than that in the British pro- on the the present collective security struc- ture. The French domestic situation vote’ Lemke gets here would depend on what farm plank is adopted. At Sioux Falls, 8. D., Howard Y. Williams, who has been trying start a third party, was bitter, de- scribing the movement as an effort to “split the progressive vote and let the Republicans in.” He said “The voice is the voice of Lemke but the hand is the hand of Hearst.” Raises ‘Slavery’ Issue Declaring the issue to be “slavery economic slavery,” Lemke outlined his platform. It set forth that con- gress alone shall coin and issue the currency and regulate money values. Congress also would refinance farm and home mortgages. The farm fi- nancing proposal was contained in the $3,000,000,000 inflationary Fraz- jer-Lemke bill recently defeated in the house. Planks to assure living wages, “a reasonable and decent security for the aged,” “adequate and perfect de- fense,” and smashing of “monopolies,” also were included. ‘What support would come to Lemke from Dr. F. E. Townsend's old age pension groups or the Rev. Gerald Smith, a leader of the “share the wealth” forces of the late Huey Long, remained to be det 5 Sweeney Sees Success Representative Martin L.

Moodie, state WPA ad- ministrator, Saturday headed a parade of North Dakota officialdom to Wash- ington where problems created by the current drouth in the northwest will be presented to the national govern- ment. He left by train Saturday at noon and will be followed Sunday night by Governor Walter Welford and others who wlil travel by airplane. Moodie will confer with WPA chiefs and pos- sibly with President Roosevelt while Welford already has an engagement to see the president Monday. ‘These developments occurred as members of the Medora Stockmen’s association, representing six western North Dakota counties, called on the government to buy 7,000 drouth- strickert animals at once because of the shortage of feed and water, and as farmers and business men in other counties prepared to meet to con- sider what to do to meefithe emer- urday as the fédefal crop reporting bureau said the condition is critical throughout the entire United States. Figures Show Condition ‘The situation was pointed by dis- closure that in May rainfall was 42 per cent of normal in the eastern part of North Dakota and 28 per cent. in the western part, while up to June 18 the figures were 31 and 32 per cent, respectively. Governor Welford said Saturday he has been given the “assurance” of President Roosevelt that North Da- kota “will be given every possible support and consideration” in drouth relief. The chief executive, in ® message to the public gatherings called by him to be held at 4 p. m. in every county seat, urged citizens to “forget local differences, view the situation broad- ly and express your views after frank discussion.” To Canvass Conditions Local conditions are to be canvassed at the meetings and recommenda- tions prepared and three represent tives picked from each county to the state conference called for June 25 at Bismarck by Welford. Welford said his views in the drouth relief crisis had been presented to fed- eral authorities at Washington who, he said, have promised full coopera- tion. The governor said his representa- tion at Washington will be “stronger if I am supported by presentation of Plans suggested by the people of the tate as a unit.” Gov. Welford urged citizens meet- ing for the present emergency te in- ventory county resources of available cash and possible credit to be used for purchase of equipment needed on work relief projects and for supplies. He asked that a check be made on toughage and grain reserves. Wants United Counsel The governor suggested counties call a council of farm organization leaders, county agents, commission- ers, Resettlement and welfare board workers to make arrangements to pre- serve valuable seed stock as well as transporting livestock from the drouth area of the western part to pasture in Minnesota, northeastern North Dakota and elsewhere where abun- dant moisture has fallen this year. He urged that estimates be made on probable human relief needs in (Continued on Page Two) Bismarck Buckaroo Court To Meet in City Auditorium ‘They won't have a chance to beg mercy of the court. “They” are those defendants charged with violating the spirit of the Bismarck Pioneer Days Festival. “They” will be arraigned before Chief Jedge George (Doochay) Shafer, E.
