EATON RESIGNATIO AS CHAIRMAN FOR DEMOCRATS ASKED 20 of 49 Committeemen Vote for Ouster After Squabble Over Patronage Resignation of John C. Eaton of Minot as state chairman was asked Tuesday night by a 20 to 10 vote of North Dakota’s Democratic state cen- tral committeemen, Nineteen com- mittee members were absent. committee at some later date. Behind the move, sccording to Democratic insiders, were H. H. Perry, erstwhile national committeeman and still an important factor in the Demo- cratic set-up, and P. W. Lanier, U. 8. district attorney and all but an avow- ed candidate for the senatorial nom- ination in 1938, Perry is said to object to Eaton's rising power in the organisation and Lanier to his alleged activity in spon- soring the possible senatorial candi- Gacy of L, E, Birdgell, former supreme court judge. Birdzell is said to have the political blessing of President C. G. Byerly, mayor of Mandan and Morton county chairman, who said there was a lack of faith in the par- ty’s leadership. He also protested “steam-roller tactics.” Citing the comments of Farley and John Moses, last year’s candidate for governor, as proof of the fact that there is need for party reorganiza- the debate which followed, many chairmen indicating they felt they been ignored ISTARTS GANPAIGN ' TOSWIPTLY ENAGT FIVEDESREDLAWS Crop Control, Wage-Hour Bill, Regional Planning Mea- sures Are Listed ASKS FOR REORGANIZATION Stronger Anti-Trust Laws Sought to Further Low Prices for Consumers Washington, Oct. 13.—(?)—Pres: dent Roosevelt, ordering a special session of congress Nov. 15, instituted @ campaign Wednesday to enact by Christmas, if possible, the bulk of his legislative program sidetracked in the last session. Administration officials expressed hope for swift congressional approval of five measures outlined by the chief executive Tuesday night in his tenth “fireside chat”: 1. Crop production control to Jobs./ duction and secure wage-hour stan- dards. and Lanier, the darts hurled at Eaton in the discussion were from the pa- tronage quiver over which W. E. Clotzbach of Anamoose, national com- mitteeman, ostensibly has control. The committeemen took no action toward giving official standing to the organization of county chairmen, which recently was formed. They, too, seek a place in the patronage LOGEE MODERATOR OF PRESBYTERIANS North Dakota Synod Hears Prominent Clergymen at Devils Lake Sessions Devils Lake, N. D., Oct. 13.—(®)— Rev. F. E. Logee of Bismarck Wed- nesday was the new moderator of the North Dakota Synod of the Presby- terian church, He was elected Tupsday night at the opening of the annual convention here. Retiring moderator is Rev. W. R. Tennis of Minneapolis, formerly of Lisbon. Rev. T. B. Lindsay of Lari- more was named temporary clerk. Rev. 8. M. Kelly, pastor of the Pres- byterian church of Devils Lake, of- ficially opened the synod, after which Rev, H. R.

Sweatt, 71, former president of the Minneapolis- Honeywell Regulator company, who died Tuesday, will be conducted Fri- day. Bankhead Favors It Although some members of congress Speaker Bankhead (Dem.-Ala.) said the president had exercised “good judgment.” Chairman O'Connor (Dem.-N. ¥.) of the house rules committee, which blocked the wage-hour bill in the last session, forecast it would be brought to the house floor swiftly. The crop control bill, however, will have the right of way under a resolution adopt. ed in August. There were indications that two other issues might create time-con- suming debate during the session— the former Ku Klux Klan connections of Supreme Court Justice Hugo L. Black and the president’s foreign Mr, Roosevelt apparently sought in his speech to allay criticism of his newly aggressive policy toward Jap- anese invasion of China. He empha- sised that American participation in the nine-power treaty conference would be to seek by agreement @ s0- lution of the conflict. Would Avoid Long Session Discussing his call for the special session, the president said it would enable congress to avoid a lengthy session next year during the pre- election campaign. “I know,” he added, “that many enemies of democracy will say that it is bad for business, bad for the tran- try,” he said, “want the financial bud- (Continued on Page Two)
