Ballot Boxes to Open At
Noon and Close At
\ 9P. M.

The contest for the first vice presi-
dency OF the Chamber of Commerce be-
| tween ]. Louis Wil1ige and d. J. Gala
han is keener today than ever as a re-
suit of the clash which occurred yester-
day afternoon at the monthly meeting
OF the board of directors of the Cham
ber. First blood was drawn by the
followers of Mr.. Callahan.
The contest in the board meeting was
precipitated over the report of the ex-
ecutive committee, which recommended
that the polls for the annual election of
officers and directors be opened at noon
next Tuesday and continued until 8
o'clock at night, with an interval of
two hours for dinner.
President GUIDE precipitated the dis
cussjon by ruling the action of the ex-
ecutive committee in fixing the hours
for polling was unconstitutional and
sustaining the point of order that a
quorum Of the committee was not pres
ent when the action was taken On
Doth rulings he was reversed.
Struggle Anticipated.
Before the board met it was antici-
pated there would be a strueeIe over
the question of the election. Mr., Gude's
ruling was based on the fact. that but
four members of the executive com
mittee were present at the meeting
last Friday, when 1t was decided tn
change the custom as to holding cleo
tions.
Those four members were Mr.. GUIDE
d. ]. Callahan, Scott c. Bone. and
Chapin Brown. The executive COM
mittee numbers eleven, and Mr.. Guides
contention was that four was not a
quorum. He further held the action
to be unconstitutional because II con-
ficted with the following provision of
the constitution:
The board of directors shall
elect from its number eight mem
bers, who. together with the pres
ident and the two vice presidents,
shall constitute an executive COM
mittee; TO WHICH. IN ITS
JUDGMENT, THE BOARD MAY
DEPUTE IN THE INTERIM OF
ITS SESSIONS THE MANAGE
MENT OF THE BUSINESS AT
FAIRS OF THE CHAMBER.
Mr.. GUIDE held, and was sustained by
Robert N. Harper. A. Leftwitch Sim
clair, Charles w. Darf, Joseph l. Wei
Ter, E. H. Daniel. James F. Oyster. and
elections was not question which the
executive committee could act on.
Mr.. GUIDES ruling was reversed by
the votes of the other members of the
board present, including r. Golden DON
aldson, Arthur c. Moses. John L.
Weaver. Harry King. D. ]. Kaufman,
Isaac Cans, Charles ]. Bell. Scott C.
Bone, f. G. Graham, Ralph w. Lee. D. |
S. Porter, Joseph Strasburger, and
Chaplin Brown.
Question of Evening.
The discussion then centered about !
the Interpretation of the meaning of !
evening" 1t was contended that the |
OF the Chamber necessi- !
tated the holding of the annual election !
Of officers in the evening, and that
evening in this case meant after 6
o'clock This view was urged by A. |
Leftwich Sinclair and Charles w. Darr.
r. Golden Donaldson contended that
evening might be construed to mean
any hour after noon.
In support of their contention for /
voting in the afternoon, the majority on
the board quoted the Bible, citing the !

Urges Law in Iowa
For Presidential Choice

Senator Cummins of Iowa, before
leaving Des Moines for Washington,
urged progressive Republicans to press
on the attention of the Iowa Legislature
this winter a measure providing for a
Presidential preference law. He would
have the sentiment of the State with
respect to Presidential nominations in
1912 determined by a primary.
The proposal is looked on in some
quarters as indicating that Senator
Cummins himself intends to be a can
didate in 1872.
Senator Cummins also came out for
the Oregon plan of electing Senators.

OFFICIALS BEHIND
TEACHERS IN FIGHT
Members of Board and
Others Are Giving
: Moral Support.
rIIVNU/o
SECRETARY THINKS
SICK LEAVE is DUE
Relations Between Board and Com
miSSioners Further Strained
By Developments.

Members of the Board of Education
and those holding the highest official
positions under that body are giving
their moral support to the teachers
who propose to take legal steps to COL
lect their full December pay.
At the offices of the Board of Educa-
ton this morning, nothing but words
of encouragement for the irate teachers
were heard. The action of the school
officials in submitting under protest to
Treasury's opinion is tending to aggra-
vate the already strained relations be-
tween the Board and the District Com
missioners.
Hines Views.
Secretary H. o. Hine, of the Board
Of Education, this morning said: The
way for the teachers to get results is
for all of them-the full LOO are af-
fected by the elimination of the sick
leave priviIege-to get together and test
this thing out. l believe they are en-
titled to sick leave with part pay.
"It is true that under the new ar
rangement whereby all pay is cut off
as soon as the teacher leaves her post,
there will be fewer teachers absent.
They will be there in person to instruct,
but they will not be able to do so in
reality. Their physical condition will
make it impossible for them to render
their best services.
TT is my opinion that it would be
better for the school to allow the sick
teacher to go to her home on half pay,
and give her substitute the other half,
as has been the policy for years"
Superintendent A. T. Stuart at tomor-
rows meeting of the board will present
q report on his investigation of sick
leave privileges given teachers In other
cities.
Stuart's Report.
In discussing what his report will
show, Mr.. Stuart said this morning:
Generally speaking, teachers who are
sick are given half pay for certain
lengths of timei The number of days
ey may be off on half pay varies in
the different cities
New York allows a maximum of nine
ty-five days; Baltimore, sixty, but many
cities allow only ten. The average,
however, is much above the ten-day
period.
of which allows no pay for time off on
account OF sickness. Until the comp
troller's opinion was received the Board
of Education here had allowed thirty
days on half pay"
Objections to having authority Gus
tomarilly vested in Board of Education
curbed by tie District Commissioners is
being made by all members of the board.

board. recently stated: II do not be

Board Could Name Hour.

Those favoring a change In the meth
ods of election argued that this pro-
vision required the holding of the cleo
ton on the second Tuesday, but that
the board of directors could name any
hour for the meeting it chose.
Those favoring the old method argued
that the phrase unless for good cause
another evening be designated implied
that all monthly and annual meetings
be held after c D m.
Robert n. Harper declared the cleo
ton should be held at night to get a
maximum of enthusiasm, while Chaplin
Brown said the executive committee
had estimated that as a large number
of ballots would be cast, more time
should be allowed for voting and advo-
Gated opening the poHs at noon and
closing them at o'clock.
The fight led to a preliminary tangle
in the midst of which President GUIDE
left the chair on appeal from a decis-
ion and Capt. James F. Oyster. first
vice president, held the gavel until the
emf of the meeting.
After both sides had offered all sorts
of motions and had made numerous
points of order. Mr.. Moses moved that
the board ignore the action of the ex-
ecutive committee and vote independent
OF 1t on the election question. This
motion provided that the ballot boxes be
opened at noon in the Chamber of
Commerce rooms, closed at 5 o'clock,
opened again at at the Arlington
Hotel, and finally closed at o'clock.
Vote on Motion.
The vote for Mr.. Moses motion was
backed by r. Golden Donaldson, Mr..
Moses, John L. Weaver. Harry King.

In support of the customary method
of holding the election of officers in

The DRAMA AS A
SOCIAL FORCE
RICHARD BURTON GAVE FARGO
AUDIENCE A RARE TREAT LAST
EVENINc-sPoKE AT coNGRE.
eATIoNAL CHURCH UNDER AU.
SPICES OF FARGO COLLEGE.

What proved to be a literary treat
indeed, was DIR. Richard Burton's lee
ture last evening on The Drama AS A
Social Force, delivered at the First
Congregational church before a large
audience. After few Introductory
remarks by DR.. Creegan, who intro
duced him as poet, author literary
critic, and one of the foremost dis
tinguished men of America, DIR. Bur-
ton at once took up the subject and
presented 1t in a clear logical, inter-
esting and highly instructive manner.
He began by asking what can be
more impressive upon an audience
than a play Of high standard. ON the
stage before him the spectator sees
life enacted, and can judge it better
as an auditor than he can when a. part
OF 1t. Things SEEM said DR.. Bur
ton, "are mightier than things heard
We might put this up over every
theatre door"
DR. Burton then went on to show
that all civilized counties look to the
drama as one of the most important
means of literary and dramatic ex-
preston. For this reason, people
should not turn away from the drama,
which at the present time is taking
on much of its former greatness. The
leading men Of every nation are en-
gagged in producing dramas. and master
pieces are being put forth. He men
toned several Of the biggest men In
this line in several countries as .Ibsen
Bjorson. Rostrand, Jones, Wild, Ber-
nard Shaw, VIM. Vain Miller and
many others. ~
If the American people can be edu-
Gated along this line and demand bet
ter plays they can have them, is DR.
Burton's opinion. He urged people to
cultivate the habit of reading the book
of the play. Every play within a
month after it's first appearance can
be read by the public. The best way
to appreciate a good play or drama il
to read it before hand
DR.. Burton spoke highly of the fine
work being done along dramatic lines
by the colleges and schools of this
country. Most II the colleges have
dramatic clubs, which are raising the
standards of the theatre going public
He spoke in particular of the club al
the Minnesota university with which
he is himself connected. Dr. Burton
states that through the plays given by
