FAVOR The RAISE.
No Insurgents Among M~eerhead
Woodmen in Regard 70 New
Rates--Safs Proposition.

About a two-thirds representation
Of the membership of Hazel camp,
Modern Woodmen OF America, attend
ed the meeting last night to greet w.
N. Barber, n OF the grand officers
Of the state of Minnesota. The visit
Of the grand officer was for the pur-
pose Of fully explaining the new rates
which are to go into effect the first
of next year.
Mr.. Barber has made a close study
OF fraternal insurance rates and plans
and is convincing in his arguments
and b an enthusiastic advocate for q
safe insurance for the members of
this fraternity. In the ranks OF the
MoorheaH camp, Mr.. Barber found
little or no opposition to the new
rates and plans so that his remarks
were more in the line Of being x
'planatory rather than being argu-
incentive against opposition and at the
close the members were more welded
to the new order OF things than they
were after their own study OF the
proposition. Following the address
members were invited to ask questions
on any points which were not as clear
to some as to others and there were
a number propounded which Mr.. Bar
Der readily answered and which he
said were points well taken. One visi-
tor from Baker, who disclosed himself
as one who liked things cheap, but
he found himself SO lonely in the camp
he did not push his argument against
the new rates.
At the conclusion of the business
OF the meeting refreshments were serv-
ed and all present Joined in. a social
smoke during which short talks were
heard of the good OF the order" Mr..
Barber expressed himself well pleased
with his visit to Moorhead and he
was sure hat the business like views
entertained by Hazel camp would have
it's influence over members elsewhere
who were inclined to be a little bit
wavering on the new proposition.

a good break to put it in a more
healthy condition. At the same time
they were advising short sales of May,
regarding such as dangerous. The
bull side Of the market, however, has
become stale. A majority of traders
last night talked bearish- May corn
has advanced "a cents from the low
point of Monday and reacted 1 cent
from the top. In the opinion OF bears,
the bull side has grown stale. They
said that the pit element were long
at the start expecting that the storm
of Wednesday would create buying

appointed. Arguments of the bears
last night favored lower prices. 1t

MAY Soon \
HAVE TWO MAYORS
CONFLICTING CLAUSES OF STA
TuTEs MAY CAUSE coMPLIcA.
TON OF CONDITIONS IN CITY
EXECUTIVES oFFicE-LovELL
AND SWEET BOTH TO QUALIFY.

Fargo may o have the novel dis
tinction Of having two mayors, due to
certain conflicting clauses contained in
the North Dakota statute books which
may a complication of condi-
lions In this city 81 that Fargo may
nave W. city executives for a period OF
eight days.
Mayor Lowell was elected to serve
TWO ear and the statute provides that
n incoming mayors term OF Office
shall begin on the third Tuesday i'm
April which will fall on April 16 this
year. The new law which brought the
city election earlier this year to March
10 last and which does not repeal the
one which fixes the date of the begin
ming Of the administration, states ex-
plicitly that the elected mayo should
qualify within ten days after his cleo
ton, but gives him until the second
Tuesday in April to qualify or his cleo
ton shall be void.
This makes the situation quite COM
plicated. as the n law explicitlv
states that the mayor is elected for a
period of two years and shall hold his
offlce for that length of time, fixing
the date of the beginning and expira-
ton OF the term.
Mayor Lowell was elected to serve
the W years with the date of the
expiration of his term already fixed
by law before he entered office. The
conflicting statute contradicts this
provision ana will probably make
the situation very interesting for some
time. as it may be possible Fargo will
enjoy the distinction OF having two
mayors for several days.
The mayor himself was asked about
the matter today but had nothing to
say on the subject. The contending
gentlemen for the position were both
seen, also, but did not volunteer to
throw any light on the matter.
Il was declared elected by the city
council at its last meeting" said Mr..
Sweet to a Forum representative to-
day, "and / will be served the certi-
ficate of my election within five days.
The other matter is one I have not
yet looked into and feel it is a legal
point that would best be considered
by an attorney. Perhaps City Attor-
e Shure would be better able to
throw more light on this to clarity the
situation.
