~aere * pan, 2. SPANISH-AMERICAN | _ WAR SPEECH GIVEN P. G. Harrington Says Conflict Ranks With Other Great © Wars in Importance A declaration that the Spanish-Am- erican war in many ways was as im- portant as the Revolutionary, Civil and World wars was made before the Bismarck Kiwanis club Tuesday noon by P. G. Harrington of Bismarck, rep- resenting the speakers’ bureau of the | 1 Veterans of Foreign Wars. Of major importance was the fact that this war brought out the neces- sity for the Panama canal, as dem- onstrated by the lengthy voyage of the Oregon around the Horn. The Spanish-American war also demonstrated the value of maintain- ing troops’ identity, In this war, each troop developed considerable pride and ultimate effectiveness because of the fact volunteers were assigned to troops representing the state in which they lived. This experience prompted General Pershing to insist upon main- | “ tenance of American troops’ idenuty in the World war rather than mixing them with allied troops.

The American army for the Span- ish-American war was the first vol- unteer army in history, Harrington de- clared. Thousands more than the 125,- 000 called for volunteered their serv- ices for this conflict. This was Amer- and two months, losses were greater and the average length -of service greater than in any previous w Sixty-one per cent of the troops served on foreign soil as compared to 48 per cent in like service during the World ‘war. Forty-three per cent of the Span- ish-American veterans voluntecred for service in the World war. Harrington scored the Economy act of 1933 for cutting off from the pension list Spanish-American war veterans, many of whom were too old at the} siy time to make a living for themselves. ‘These men were deserving of the pen- sion, he said. Many of them suffered permanent _ physical impairment, dargely through tropical fevers, but |‘ ‘few of them could prove they suffered | ; their physical setbacks in the Spanish- | 5 American war for the reason that in- |} adequate records of their enlistment were kept. The speaker said that he himself spent many months in a/ 0! “fever” camp in Alabama after his | #ervice, but that he would be unable records. Harrington was introduced by Earl R. Monson, program chairma: The traditional Kiwanis charge was given by H. F. O'Hare for the benefit i Ober A. Kobs, new member of the service organization. Supreme Coyrt Justice James Morris admonished members that it was the duty as well @s privilege of each member of the Kiwanis club to cast his vote in the National, state and local elections be- ing conducted today. Group singing was led by Ralph W. Soule, with Clarion E. Larson at the | Piano. Nebraska Elects First One-House Legislature Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 3.—(/?)—Nebras- kans elected members of the state's first unicameral legislature Tuesday. Forty-three persons were chosen from a list of 86 nominees in geo- graphical districts. Each district elected one. Two were nominated in each district on a nonpartisan ballot in last April's primary. Two women, both members of the | Present house of representatives, sought election. Sixty of the 86 nom- inecs are legislators or former legis- lators, Nebraska formerly had a two house legislative system. The house con- tained 100 members and the senate , 33. In 1934, Nebraska voters approved Senator George W. Norris’ proposal to abolish the two-house system and Substitute the unicameral. The new one-house body will meet the first time next January with the lieutenant governor presiding. Companion of Fargo Robber Is Captured St. Paul, Nov. 3—(#)—Frank Pi- 28-year-old St. Paul youth alleged to have been the companion of Fred Porth, Jr., in an attempted burglary at Fargo, N. D., Sunday night, was captured in a Minneapolis nerd now by ae puree of e inal apprehension agents Tues- day afternoon. While Pipan was being grilled by Melvin C. Passolt, superintendent of the crime bureau, at the state office building, Porth, 25 years old, lay cri- tically wounded in 2 Fargo hospital. He was shot by a night patrolman who surprised two men working on a safe in @ transfer company office. Pipan had several minor cuts and bruises when arrested. Passolt said he denied being an accomplice of Porth in . A blood-stained automobile was found overturned in a ditch Monday night near Wadena, and, according to Passolt, Porth ad- mitted stealing it in St. Paul.

Most of the election talk one heard was about that. Predictions were many but there was no agreement and each forecaster was perfectly willing to admit that he wasn’t sure, that only a count of the ballots would prove him right or wrong, One sure thing was that the of- ficlals in voting booths will have dif- ficulty in counting the ballots quickly because of a large volume of “split” ticket voting. There will be plenty of “straight” ticket voting, of course, but the pros- pect was that a majority of the citi- zens would find the names of favor- ites in more than one of the seven columns on the ballot. The result may be to make the returns slower than usually has been the case in the fall election. Newspapers Count Returns State returns will be compiled by the daily newspapers of the state in cooperation with the Associated Press, of which every daily newspaper is @ member. Precinct officials have been asked to rush their returns to the county auditors, who ere the key men in the election reporting system. They com- pile county returns and furnish them to the daily newspaper nearest them. ‘The newspapers send them to a cen- tral tabulating bureau where totals for the entire state are compiled. This is the system, inaugurated 10 ago, which usually has enabied North D ;| Dakotans to learn the result of a state election within a day or two inste:e) of having to wait for almost a week. and sometimes more, as formerly was the case. Initial reports from Bismarck voting precincts indicated a light turnout early in the day. With the forecast of rising temperature, however, it was expected that early afternoon would gee a rush to the polls. | = Flooding Creek Keeps oters at Home Waterloo, fl., Nov. 3.—(#)—A Slood> 1 {at 6 p,m.

Traffic Toll rity 101 95 Hammock was driving north on the highway when the accident happerted, {The two women passengers are re- ported to have been in the rear scat of the car. The maintainer was moving south- ; ward on the east side of the highway. It was driven by E. A. Krinke, em- ploye of the Minot division of the state highway department. The car crashed into the front of the maintainer, and the maintainer’s front wheel was torn off. The car was badly damaged. Hammock was dead when he and the other three occupants of his car were brought to the hospital. Ar- rangements for his funeral have not been made. Dr. E. C. Stone of Minot, Ward county coroner, came here to investi- gate the death. He announced he in- tends to hold a formal inquest, but that he may not be able to conclude it for several wecks inasmuch as he desires to have the testimony of all the injured persons. Year Ago FIVE PERSONS HURT WHEN CARS MEET HEAD-ON Minot, N. D., Nov. 3.—(?)—Five per- sons Tuesday are receiving hospital treatment for serious injuries received Sunday near Butte, southeast of Velva, when cars in which they were rid- ing crashed head-on at the summit of a hill. | Receiving hospital-are: Albert Zarek, 17, senior in the Minot high school and son of Mr. and Mrs Emil Zarek, farmers near Butte. He received a broken leg and severe cuts about the face. Irene Sitch, 18, daughter of Mr. ang Mrs, Jack Sitch, residents of Butte She received a crushed jawbone and severe face and mouth injuries. Her condition is regarded as critical. At the Drake hospital are: Mr. and Mrs. Harry Huseby and Gladys Norberg, all of the Drake com- munity. Mrs. Huseby’s injuries are held critical. Paul Zavalny, also of Butte, also involved in the accident, received only minor injuries. The accident took place Sunday as the four young people, Zarek, Miss Sitch, Zavalny and Miss Norberg, were out for a ride. Their car and the machine in which Mr, and Mrs. Huseby were riding met squarely at the crest of a hill: © as NTINUE from page one’ | POLITICS | | By PERTINAX a o— ° ing they would avert the election of @ candidate they want Icss.” * * * treatment at a Minot NO TRADES, JUST POLITICS Among the last-minute rumors was one that a trade had been effected be- tween the Republicans and Democrats whereby Welford would get Demo- cratic support for governor and Holt would get Republican support for con- gress. | It apparently spread rapidly when it became known that the Republican guide card in at least one county urged Republicans to vote tor Holt for congress in place of Republican Usher L. Burdick, who has gone over to the independents. But it appears doubtful that any trading was done. The thrust at Burdick probably was dictated by a natural desire to punish him for his party defection and a realization that it would be better to have an out-and- out political enemy in congress than | one in Position to wreak havuc within the party. The same general situation is true with regard to some other places on the Republican ticket where the can- didates failed to get together and let by-gones be by-gones, as usually is the case. Who was responsible for that situ- ation also is likely to be a lively suby ject for post-election discussion. * * * EAST, WEST, SOUTH Newspapermen always expect cam- paign managers to predict victory on | sional campaign manager, oredicted the G. O. P. would pick up 100 seats in the middle and far west. Robert L. Bacon, eastern manager, predicted & “clean sweep of the vast majority of Gistricts east of the Mississippi river” and that the G. O, P. would oreak into the “solid south” with « number of Republican congressmen coming from below the Mason Dixon line. If these forecasts literally come true the next congress would be as | predominantly Republican as the, present one has been Democratic. *.* * AFTERMATHS If the Democrats win, look for pros- ecution of some corporation chiefs who are accused by the Social Secur- old-age and unemployment provisions of the Social Security act. Some notices given to employes were so drawn as to make it appear that they were sent out by the Social Security board, eccording to a bul- letin from that organization, which adds that it has referred the mat- ter to the Department of Justice “for investigation as to the and responsibility for circulation.” If the Republicans win, of course, nothing further will be heard of it. x Ok ® BIG DAY FOR CRITICS Plenty of critics exist within all po- litical parties. They usually are men who would have liked to take more active parts in the campaigns but who, for one reaosn or another, were unable to achieve their ambition. Wednesday, when the returns are in, will be a big day for them. They will be able to say, without contradic- tion, that if such and such a policy had been followed or if thus and so had been done the result would have been different. As it is, the citizen with any milk of human kindness in his heart will feel sorry for the campaign managers. Theirs has been a hard life during the last two months. Win or lose, they have earned some peace and each has probably done his best with the light and ability he brought to the job. 128,000 N. D. CATTLE TESTED IN PROGRAM 30 Veterinarians Find Bang’s Disease Infections in 1,832 State Herds Thirty North Dakota veterinarians, working on the Bang's disease control program, a project conducted by the bureau of animal industry in.cooper- ation with the state livestock sanitary board, have examined more than 128,- 000 head of cattle, H. H. Cohehour, Bismarck inspector in charge, said Tuesday. Of the 7.737 herds examined in the ate, veterinarians found infection in ,832 herds since the voluntary pro- gram was opened in July 1934, the in- spector said. In addition to the Bang’s disease control program, examiners are also re-checking state herds for tubereus losis. Since this eradication f was begun in 1917 approx! Bes 498,192 head of callie have ‘da ed of which 0.8 per cent were reactors, the report showed. “North Dakota shows one hundred per cent in the accredited county listings of cooperative tuberculosis eradication work,” Cohenour said. and pointed out re-checking is being done to keep the top rating. Since the tuberculin test was begun by the government in 1917, more than 178,000,000 head of cattle have been examined in the United States and 1.9 per cent were reactors, he said. Fourth Cousin of F. R. Unable to Cast Vote Orting, Wash., Nov. 3.—(#)—Held to his bed by rheumatic pains, Daniel H. Delano, 94, sent his 88-year-old wife to the polls Tuesday to vote for his fourth cousin, Franklin D, Roosevelt. The Orting Delanos, he asserted, would “continue to vote for cousin Frank as long as he behaves him: self.” Delano was a lifelong Republican until “Cousin Frank” ran for presi- dent in 1932, “But I guess he'll get along without my vote this year,” Delano said. ity board with misrepresenting the) y authorship | Mi that the constitution be upheld Pye ing creek divided Prairie du Long pres Protected, but that this be done by|cinct No. 2 Tussdsy and cut 200 of the Peaceable and legalized procedure,|900 registered voters off from the was made by Harry W.

SMITH SPENDS ‘TWO HOURS IN JAIL Arrested on Charge of Disturb- ing Peace After Denounc- ing Administration |. New Orleans, Nov, 3.—()—Gerald lu. smith, ‘former organizer ot {Share the Wealth clubs for the late Huey Long, early Tuesday stalked angrily from a jail cell in which he placed after denouncing the state administration in a radio ad- dress. Smith, taken into custody with three others at his hotel room night, was booked on chagges of dis- turbing the peace, reviling. the police and using obscene language. He denied all accusations. Smith refused a release offered by yor Robert 8. Maestri but left the jail qt the expiration of a two-hour period in accordance with an ordi- nance concerning persons arrested for city law violations. Arrested with Smith were Preston Delcazal, his secretary, and Henry nd Herman Grundmeyer. The Grundmeyers were described as friends of Smith not officially .con- nected with his activities. Smith, Delcazal and the Grund- meyers were ordered to appear Wed- nesday night at midnight at police court to answer to the three charges which were brought by Detective Cap- tain Alfred Malone. Maximum pen- alty for conviction on cach of the three charges is $25 fine. Smith, in his address at an open air rally Monday night, charged he had evidence of a “hot oil deal” whereby 25,000.000 barrels of oil would be taken tax-free out of Louisiana. “When this deal is finally uncover- ed, it will make the Teapot Dome scandal look like a copper kettle,” he from page one- said, ico D ‘Owners of 71 Per Cent of Property Signed to Petition! burden thereon will be confiscatory.
