The forecast was for cold weather tonight with no material rise in tem- perature due untik Tuesday after- noon, All parties and groups with candi- adtes seeking the favor of the people were making last-minute appeals to the electorate and such radics as are turned on will resound tonight with Speeches by various candidates. In «ddition there will be some per- sonal appearances at political rallies. Chief interest centered in the races for president and governor with three candidates holding attention in each contest. No Late Developments Republicans finished the campaign holding the Landon banner high aloft while Democrats were working fever- ishly in support of Franklin D. Roose- velt. There were no last-minute de- velopments in this race. In the governorship campaign, how- ever, it was a battle up to the clos- ing minute. Supporters of voth Re- publican Walter Welford and Demo- crus John Moses were asserting their man was sure of victory and sound- ing the clarion call for the voters ta | ett get on the bandwagon.

Wehe has not made an ac- tive campaign. For the first time in the state's his- tory Democrats are hopeful, if not ac- tually confident, of electing one and possibly two members of tongress. Their optimism is based on the split in Republican ranks which has seen many in the G.O.P. organization at- tacking the candidacy of Usher L. Burdick for what they term the de- sertion’ of that party’s candidate for governor. Guide Cards Differ In some counties guide cards were put put by the Republicans which falled to list Burdick as a candidate and urged Republicans to vote for Henry Holt, Grand Forks Democrat, In his place. Lemke, running for both president and congress, the former as a Union party candidate and the latter as a Republican, also was believed to be facing a closer battle than might nor- mally have been expected because of the alleged belief of many Republi- vans that he shouldn’t be running for doth offices at once, Welford’s gubernatorial campaign. has been bolstered by the active sup- port of Senators Lynn J. Frazier and Gerald P. Nye. Frazier has endorsed Lemke for president but Nye has been silent as to his preference on the presidential issue. County Races Quiet In campaigns for county offices candidates continued their campaigns of personal solicitation. These races have been overshadowed by the ma- Jor state and national issues but will serve to draw many persons to the polls. Chief interest centered in the race between Ernest Elness and Clair G. Derby for the county auditorship and in the shrievalty race between Fred Anstrom and Chris J. Martine- son, On the initiated ballot the voters will have to decide whether or not they want to legalize the sale of li- quor. A feature of this campaign, quiet for the most part, was a parade urday afternoon in which children carried banners asking the public to vote dry. This was the only public demon- stration on the issue staged in Bis-|m., marck throughout the campaign. WILLISTON BOY DIES Minot, N.

He said the Republican proposal was Louis, Duc de Vallambrosa Likes Title of Major Best Because He Earned It Memories of a gallant gentleman stirred and came to life Saturday eve- ning in the dining room at the Coun- try Club as a group of Bismarck men sat down to dine with Louis, Duc de Vallambrosa and Marquis De Mores, & major in the French army. The “gallant gentleman” as he was termed by Chief Justice John Burke of the state supreme court, was Mi quis De Mores, who attempted to es- tablish a packing plant at Medora more than 50 years ago, when he was only 25, and who was killed in Africa as the age of 37 by treacherous Taureg tribesmen, His son, here to give to the state historical society the Chateau De Mores built by his father at Medora, holds more titles than did his father but the one he prizes most is that of Major, earned during the World War. The title of Marquis he inherited from his father, that of Duke came from his grandfather, who still was live when his father died. Titles Mean Little Titles don’t mean much in Re- publican France’ these days and they mean less to the titled visitor, who was introduced as Major at his own request, “Titles were conferred be- cause of the achievements of men,” he explained. “It is nice to know that one’s ancestors were worthy of recog- nition but it is better to go by a title which one has earned. He appreciates it more.” No “zis and zat” Frenchman is this distinguished visitor to North Dakota, which, he said, seems a great deal like home because the first years of his life were spent here. He came with his parents to Medora when he was only two months old, after having been born in New York, and lived the first four years of his life in the Badlands ‘country. +h: frequents visitor-4o~Americ#: he: speaks perfect English with the modu- lation one hears frequently in New England.

Officials of the United States-labor department and maritime commission indicated prompt action. Employers were reported considering a request for navy “safety crews” on tied-up merchant ships. Admiral H. G. Hamlet, representing the maritime commission, summoned both sides to a hearing which twice previously was postponed. Assistant Secretary of Labor Ec- ward F, McGrady declared the “gov- ernment must challenge” what he said was the position taken by those ‘tight ‘by ‘the walkout"c ay} marc! midnight by leaders of 37,000 ship and dock workers. Vessels arriving since the strike started fell under the block- ade. The maritime exchange here re- ported more than 140 vessels idle at west coast ports and Honolulu. The seamen’s defense committee in New York, acting in defiance of no- strike orders from officials of the In- ternational Seamen’s union, claimed 57 vessels tied up at east and gulf ports in the sympathy “sit downs.” The committee claimed 2,300 men af- fected. Strategy mapped out by the com- mittee for New York and the other ports was to keep men aboard ves- sels but refuse any but watch duty. At Philadelphia, John J. Egan, sec- retary of the Maritime Exchange, re- ported “everything tied up.” 7 P.

From both major parties, as almosi always, came strong expressions of confidence, while all hands, from presidential candidates down to low- liest ward worker, concentrated on one eleventh-hour task: “Get out the vote,” was the injunc- tion heard on all sides. A record- smashing vote, possibly 45,000,000 was indicated despite ominous word from the weather bureau that a cold rain or snow might blanket much of the United States on election day. James A. Farley, national chairman headed the Democratic victory-prog- nosticators, with a declaration that it would be a “sweep” giving President Roosevelt a bigger electoral margin than 1932 when he captured 472 of the 531 votes in the electoral college.
