Nye and Governor Wal- ter Welford had appeared before the strikers at a mass meeting Tuesday morning in the city auditorium which was attended by approximately 200 strikers. Welford, after reviewing the finan- cial status and attitude of the state and federal governments, suggested that the men go back to work while &@ committee sought means of adjust- ing the difficulty. Miller, Anstrom, Argast J. H. Miller and Otto Anstrom of Bismarck, and Fred Argast of Mof- fit, none of them WPA workers, led not only the fight against Welford’s proposal, but the entire discussion. All have been affiliated with a radi- cal political group here. Politics were barred from the dis- cussion by Joe Glaser, chairman, at the opening of the meeting but it ‘was obvious that the three non-WPA. everyone’ and that an effort ‘should be made to reach an amicable adjustment. Be- cause the state is poor he wants to Rickenbacker Forced to Return to Base After First At- tempt at Rescue Musgrave Harbor, Newfoundland, Sept, 15—(Canadian Press)—Mus- grave fishermen, helping the trans- atlantic round-trip filers, Harry Richman and Dick Merrill, Tuesday dug their monoplane out of ‘the bog into which it nosed at the end of a hazardous journey from Southport, Eng., Monday. The fliers told them they had dumped fuel to lighten the load of the “Lady Peace” as they approached the Newfoundland shore and, reach- ing land, exhausted their supply. Marooned in this out-of-the way fishing district on the northern coast of Newfoundland, Richman and Merrill impatiently awaited the ar- rival of a propeller and other equip- ment being flown to them in Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker’s rescue plane, from New York. Placed en Even Keel The plane, its propellor smashed, had been placed on an even keel Tuesday afternoon. Rickenbacker returned to Harbor Grace after a fruitless search in the vicinity of Musgrave harbor, where Richman and Merrill were forced down after recrossing the ocean. Rickenbacker said he would seek to contact the grounded filers by wire less, and would make plans for re- sumption of his “rescue” flight later Tuesday afternoon. He said he followed the railroad line over Newfoundland, but could not locate the Richman plane. Musgrave harbor is 150 miles from Harbor Grace.

The Lady Peace took off from kepp as much federal money coming into North Dakota as possible, he said, and pointed out that President Roosevelt, on his recent visit here, indicated that the relief approprie- tion made by the last congress would hardly be enough to meet the situa- tion in view of the drouth. The president, he said, made it plain that he would expect the state to bear a heavier share of the relief burden, Really Up to State Expressing doubt that the govern- ment could be induced to lift WPA wages, he said the only remaining agency which can be of use is the state welfare board. He suggested that a committee be appointed, two from the strikers and two from the public authorities, these four to select two others to act as a fact-finding ermne BIg’ specific question for them 5 a lor to consider, he said, is how to get more money for the welfare board that it may do a better job of sup- plementing WPA wages. ‘This he conceived to be the only solution of the problem.

It was ruled that the death resulted from an un- avoidable accident. State's Attorney D. J.

This report, the Madrid govern- ment announced, came from a Fascist deserter who said the insurgent chieftains, with headquarters at Tal- avera, had told Franco: “The militia is braver than we are.” Main Fascist forces were 2t Tal- avera, but vanguards stretched out toward Avila and San Martin de Valdeiglesias, the latter city but 36 miles west of Madrid. Nevertheless, the Socialist government contended it was successfully checking advances both on Madrid and on Toledo and coined a new watchword: “They shall retreat!” Fascists Drive on Orio In the north, the Fascists drove toward Orio, 10 miles west of the fallen city of San Sebastian, in a gen- eral push on the seaport of Bilbao. The United States consulate was abandoned at Bilbao and foreigners were hastily evacuating the city.

We must have that which is most indispensible to all, raw materials—the ore of the fron heart.” Hitler accepted the name the Rus- sian press gave to him after his caus- tic criticism of Jewry and Bolshevism, saying: “They call me a wild man. All right. As a wild man I am a better European.” He scorned democracy with the comment: “It’s all the same to us whether democracies hate Nazi Ger- many or not. One can love or one can hate Germany—but one could never destroy it.” His final challenge to Bolshevism came in a climactic warning: ‘Throw Them Out’ “If the Bolshevist military forces ever march against us, we'll throw them out as we did “Bolshevism itself. If our neighbors respect Germany's freedom, honor and equality, they'll find in Germany their best friend. “But if the Bolshevists try to open the gates to other countries, they'll find a new German army standing at Germany's door.” A showdown is coming—in one way or another and sooner or later—be- tween two schools of political and economic theory, Hitler asserted. He named “Bolshevism” as one school and instructed his listeners to realize The Fuehrer was the central figure at the concluding ceremony of the party session. ‘ Hurricane-Damaged Ship Shuns Rescue Jacksonville, Fla.

Depa:tment Washington, Sept. 15.— () — Presi- dent Roosevelt went into a conference with nine insurance company execu- tives Tuesday at the White House. At the same time one of his secretaries said that the president had no inten- tion of starting a federal department of insurance. Explaining the purpose of the con- ference, Stephen T. Early, the secre- tary, told newspapermen it was to find out the present financial status of-ing surance companies as compared with 1930, when President Roosevelt, as governor of New York, started a series cf business conferences which he has carried on since coming to Washing- ton. Early added the conference was to see what the federal government could do in the way of helping insurance companies further to improve their situation, Disclaims Connection. He said the president first began talking about Tuesday's conference last July; that on August 24 he sent out the first letters on the subject; that formal invitations went out upon his return from his drouth trip, and that it was only accidental and inci- dental that they followed the Sept. 5 jSpeech by Colonel Frank Knox, Re- publican vice presidential nominee at Allentown, Pa., in which he declared ifsurance policies were not secure un- der the New Deal fiscal policies. Those who filed into the president's Office for the meeting were James Beha, superintendent of insurance of New York state under Roosevelt as governor; William Safford, presi- dent of Western and Southern In- demnity; Thomas A.

PRICE FIVE CENTS n in Maine GOVERNOR, SENATOR, 3 REPRESENTATIVES SELECTED IN VOTING Nation Prepares to Argue De- batable Results in ‘Wealth- er Vane’ State WHITE WINS CLOSE RACE Barrows Has More Than 40,000 Lead Over Democratic Nominee for Governor (By the Associated Press) Studying the Republican victory in Maine, the nation prepared Tuesday for the usual “post mortem” — the furious argument that breaks out every four years as to how far the Pine Tree state result can be consid- ered a “weather vane” of nationwide presidential sentiment. The voters of Maine chose a Re- publican governor to succeed a Dem- ocratic incumbent, re-elected a Ree publican senator after a close, thrill- ing race, and gave all three of the state's seats in the house of repre sentatives to Republicans. This is a gain of two congress seats for the party. It was almost dawn Tuesday before the senatorial contest between the Republican Senator Wallace H. White, Jr., and the Democratic Gov ernor Louis J. Brann was decided. Finally, an almost complete count showed White in the van by slightly less than 5,000. With 626 of the state’s 633 precincts tabulated the vote was 157,861 for White, 152,876 for Branu. Barrows Has 40,000 Majority Lewis O. Barrows (Rep.), defeated ¥. Harold Dubord (Dem.), for the governorship by a much larger mar- gin—more than 42,000 votes. The Re- publicans won the congressional seats by commanding leads. While attention turned to five other states which are holding primaries Tuesday, the two major party presi- dential nominees also were active. President Roosevelt called a group of insurance company executives into ®& White House confereftce and,-Gov. Alf M. Landon, meanwhile, was en route back to Kansas after his swing into Maine. In a speech at Spring- field, Mass., he asserted that in the fields of soil and water conservation “lies a work in which the federal gov- ernment should take a more aggres- sive part.” Some leading features of Tuesday's primary voting follow: Massachusetts — Gov. James M. Curley contested for the Democratic senatorial nomination against Mayor Robert E. Greenwood of Fitchburg. Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., was endorsed for the Republican nomination by the Republican state convention, but had two rivals at the polls, Couzens Opposed Michigan — Senator Couzens, pro- Roosevelt Republican, sought renomi nation against former Gov. Brucker. Battling for Democratic gubernatorial nomination were Frank Murphy, Philippine commissioner, and George W. Welsh. New Hampshire — Attention cen- tered on the race for the Republican senatorial nomination, between Gov. H. Styles Bridges and George H. Moses, former senator. Wisconsin — Unopposed for the Progressive nomination, Gov. Philip LaFollette was target of campaign at- tacks by those seeking Democratic and Republican nominations. A number of congressional aspirants had Townsend or Coughlin endorse- ment.
