Williston, N. D., April 16.-Forty
women, backed by few men, waited
on Postmaster Ole Hoff and his part
ner, Dan McCloud, at Hofflund and de-
manded that they cease selling malt
or they would tear down their place of
business.
Hoff wanted to defend his business,
but McCloud counseled surrender,
and liquor sales have ceased. They
operated a general store and pool
hall.
The postmaster at Nesson has been
advised that the Hofflund postofice
will be discontinued and that all mail
will go to Nesson. A postofice inspec-
tor was in the vicinity for ten days,
and it is believed that the complaint
resulted in the closing of the Office, as
no one else would handle the mails
at Hofflund.

On account of the fierce fire which
burned the wreckage, it is probable
that the exact number of killed will
never be known. Some of the bodies,
it is thought, were entirely con-
sumed.
In regard to the inquest, nothing
has been done as yet. DR.. Cowper,
coroner of Nelson county, stated this
afternoon that he would take the mat
ter up with the states attorney, and
that some decision would be arrived
at. On account of the fact that the
wreck occurred directly on the county
division line, it is believed that in
quests will be held in both Nelson and
Ramsey counties.

CONG. GR0NNA
SAYS TEDDY
WON'T SH|RK
If Country Insists Upon His
Accepting a Third Term,
He Will Not Refuse.

Congressman A. ]. Gronna, who was
in the city last night to attend the
Dinnie meeting of the local Elks, when
asked his views on the question of the
next election, was decidedly empha-
tic in his belief that President Roose-
welt would be the candidate of the
republican party for the presidency,
and that he would be elected by the
biggest vote ever given a president
since the first election of Washington.
In as much as Mr.. Gronna is one of
the close friends of the president, his
ideas as to the possibilities of his
acceptance of the nomination and his
serving if elected, are especially inn
portant. "The president is not the
man to shirk a duty nor refuse the

would carry more states in the elec-
toral college than was ever carried
before. Why, have you noticed that
at recent banquet of Bryan club
John Temple Graves, one of the great
est political leaders of the south and
a democrat of the old school, had a
speech prepared for delivery in which
he advocated the endorsement of
Roosevelt by the democratic party? l
would not be surprised to see that
very thing take place. If Roosevelt
should be nominated by the republican
party have some doubts as to wheth4
er or not the democrats would have
the courage, often as it has gone down
to defeat, to place an opposition can
didate in the field"

STRUGGLE FOR
sPOONER IOGA
BEGAN TODAY
Balloting for Successor to Wiscon-.
sins Senior Senator Who
Recently Resigned
WAS BEGUN AT
NOON IN CAPITAL.
Isaac Stephenson, Millionaire Lum-
herman Of Marinette, a Prob
able Successor

Associated Press to The Evening Tines.
Madison, Wis, April 16.-Balloting
for a United States senator to sue
ceed John c. Spooner, who recently
resigned. began at noon today in the
Wisconsin legislature. 1t is not like
ly that decision will be reached for
several days, although it is reasonably
certain that former Congressman
Isaac Stephenson. the millionaire
lumberman of Marinette. will be Sc
lected. Stephenson has the unquali-
fled support Of Senator LaFollette,
who has been working valiantly for
the aged capitalist. If elected. the
Marinette man has promised to retire
at the end of Senator Spooner's un-
expected term of two years, leaving
the field clear for his present COM
petitors.
The Wisconsin legislature is COM
posed of 1873 members, thus requiring
sixty-seven votes to elect. There are
1O3 republicans, of whom at least
seventy are staunch followers of La
Toilette, the rest being the so-called
"stalwart" republicans. The latter do
not find Stephenson acceptable and
hope to bring about a deadlock that
might eventually result in the naming
of one Of the conservative candi-
dates for the senatorship. Governor
Davidson is the dark horse" in the
race and may possibly be chosen as
compromise between the radicals
and the conservatives. 80
Sentiment among the republican
voters throughout the state is ap-
parently overwhelmingly in favor of
Stephenson. Animated by square
deal' motives, the republicans last
year gave Davidson the gubernatorial
nomination, in spite of the utmost
efforts of Senator LaFollette to name
another man. Now the same feeling
is being expressed in regard to
Stephenson. 1t is LaFollette's turn
now and it is felt that his candidate
is entitled to wear the toga for the
next two years.
There is now not the slightest doubt
that LaFollette is earnestly in favor
of the nomination of the Marinette
millionaire. despite the doubts ex-
pressed in some quarters. Under
ordinary conditions. this would make
Stephenson's selection an absolute
certainty, but there is band of un-
reconcilables who, while staunch La
Toilette men, will support the can
didacy of Lenroot as long as there is
a possibility of securing his election.

Toronto, April 16.-The second dis
