NORTH DAKOTA 2 NTI-LEAGUE Republi- # | cans, who recently select- ed a ticket of delegates to the Republican nation- al convention, are at- tempting to set aside provisions of the presidential primary law, threatening presidential candi- dates who had counted upon filing in “North! Dakota. The object is to have the North Dakota delegates elected uninstructed, so that they can be used for trading purposes. Senator Hiram Johnson has refused to withdraw, however, so the plan has fallen through. * The first trial of North Dakota’s guarantee of bank deposits law has occurred in the case of the First State bank of Jud, closed by the state bank- ing department on account of insolv- ency. Depositors would have lost $42,000, but the guarantee fund made this amount good. Senator W. J. Church, who has been o holding meetings in Ramsey county, Lt “reports “stronger than 'ever before. - February 21. . and progressive newspapers will be in- there Many merchants and business men in the small towns are now indorsing the League program, said Senator Church. Fourteen new state banks were chartered in North Dakota during the past year, and total resources of all state banks increased $138,575,147, ac- cording to the annual report of the state banking department. The North Dakota Society of Equity has indorsed Congressman Sinclair’s League sentiment . bill for drouth relief and has decided to put on a campaign for increased membership. -MINNESOTA The League state convention to in- dorse candidates for state office will be held in St. Paul March 24 and 25. The state convention of the Working Peo- ple’s Nonpartisan Political league will be held at the same time and the two conventions will ratify each others’ ac- tiens. A massmeeting of stockholders of the Minnesota Dzily Star will be held on the afternoon of March 26 in the St. Paul Auditorium. That eve- ning a mass convention of the farm- ers and organized labor will be held to approve the action taken by the two ¢onventions. Editors of farmer-owned newspapers affiliated with the Northwestern Serv- ice bureau formed the People’s Press association at a meeting in St. Paul Editors of all liberal vited to join the association. The new association was formed on account of the reactionary character of the Min- nesota Editorial association. A plan of reorganizing the North- western Service bureau on a co-opera- tive basis, which will make the bureau self-supporting, has been approved by editors of farmer-owned papers and will be submitted to the directors of . all their papers within the next -90- days. The Equity Co-Operative exchange has indorsed the Gronna bill to abolish the United States Grain corporation. ‘ IDAHO Ex-Governor Frank R. Gooding, de- feated by the League in 1918 when he was- a candidate for United States senator, has announced his candidacy again. Meanwhile there is talk of in- vestigating Gooding’s campaign ex- - penditures of 1918, now that S‘gna.tor ; Newberry of Michigan is under indict- - - ment for buying his way into office. At a recent meeting of stockholders "eliminated in the primaries, of the Idaho Free Press; the farmer- owned daily of Nampa, W. V. Weig- and, formerly of Pocatello and Butte, Mont., was chosen as general man- ager to succeed W. G. Scholtz, who is now engaged in the lumber business. President R. H. Park of the Idaho State Federation of Labor and Ray McKaig, representing the Nonpartisan league, are addressing farmer-labor meetings on the necessity of co-oper- ation in politics. WASHINGTON STATE David C. Coates, an early worker with the Nonpartisan league, has been elected chairman of the Triple Alli- _ance, consisting of members of feder- -ated trade unions, railroad workers and farmers, which will put a ticket in the field for the fall elections. Mr. Coates was a former lieutenant gover- nor of Colorado and a city commis- sioner of Spokane, Wash. Harmony and enthusiasm marked the state con- vention of the Alliance. James A. Duncan, labor candidate for mayor of Seattle, has survived the primaries and won a place on the final election ballot. C. B. Fitzgerald, back- ed by former Mayor Ole Hanson and | three daily papers of Seattle, was Hugh Caldwell, independent candidate, and Duncan- being, respectively, first and second. o WISCONSIN J. N. Tittemore of the American So- ciety of Equity is under fire for an alleged deal. with the Independent Harvester company, controlled by Francis Bloodgood and A. J. Earling of the Milwaukee railroad, to unload securities of this company and of the American Co-Operative association upon Wisconsin farmers. intimate for years. Being forced now to defend themselves, Tittemore, Earl- ing and the Bloodgoods do’ not have quite so much time to attack the Non- partisan league. WASHINGTON, D. C. The Cummins-Esch railroad bill, slightly amended in conference, has been passed by both houses of con- gress. It returns the railroads with a guarantee of 5% per cent dividends. If the railroads fail to make sufficient revenues the public either will be tax- ed to make up the difference or rates raised. :Congressmen Baer and Sin- clair of North Dakota, elected by the. Nonpartisan league, voted against the bill, as did Keller and Carss, labor representatives from Minnesota. MIXED RATION BEST In a steer-feeding experiment con- ducted last year on the government farm at Beltsville, Md., four lots of two-year=old steers were fed. The pur- pose was to compare cottonseed meal and soaked velvet beans when used with and without the addition of shell- ed corn. g The addition of corn to a ration composed of corn silage, cottonseed meal and wheat straw did not pay. The addition of corn to the ration of velvet beans and corn silage was prof- itable. The lot receiving corn silage and soaked velvet beans, with a quantity of cottonseed meal as an ap- petizer, praduced the most economical gains and showed the greatest profit, even though the daily gains and the selling price of the cattle were lower than those of any of the other lots.
