LEADERS AFTER
MACS SCALP
DEMOCRATS OF NORTH DAKOTA
OUT OF HARMONY IN MIDST
OF CAMPAIGN.

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 2S-Though it
is denied by leaders in the party,
there is open war in the democratic
ranks in North Dakota over the at
tempts being made to unseat State
Chairman D. H. Macarthur. Interested
in this enterprise is reported to be
Fred Mclean, district game warden
and George Wilkinson, publisher of
the North Dakota Democrat.
Macarthur was the leader of the
Wilson faction among the democrats
prior to the Baltimore convention His
plan of swinging the North Dakota
delegation to Wilson on the first bal.
lot was the signal for the war to be.
gin. 1t has been on ever since, though
Macarthur was successful in having
the Flickertail state men at Baltimore
drop Governor Burke for Governor
Wilson.
Mclean and Wilkinson are credited
in democratic circles with the attempt
to draw P. E. Byrne, secretary to Gov.
ernor Burke, into the race for state
chairman. Macarthur has issued a
statement that Byrne is not candi-
date, but SO far as can be learned
Byrne has made no public statement
Of his position. It is reported as Ger.
tain that determined fight will be
made to GUST Macarthur and substitute
some man who has taken no side in
the fight within the party.
Two Wilson Clubs IN Fargo.
Before the convention Mclean was
the leader Of the Champ Clark forces
in the state. Wilkinson was Harmon Is
campaign manager. It is said that eff.
forts were made to have Wilkinson 90
over to the Wilson side and 1t is re-
ported he was offered the Fargo post
Office in the event of Wilson'S election
if he would support Wilson before the
convention. This he refused to do
though he is now supporting the tick
ct. As q result Of this wrangle there
are two Wilson clubs in Fargo and
the same situation will likely develop
in other portions of the state. One
club was organized by the Wilkinson
faction. Another was then organized
by Dennis Lynch, Macarthur lieu
tenant. There is keen rivalry and some
bitterness between the two clubs.
! Win the Trouble Began.
In the fight for national commit
teeman Macarthur is said to have
promised to support Mclean who was
secretary Of the state committee In
the last campaign and worked vel
with Macarthur. There were sever
candidates and late in the campaign
Macarthur brought out John Bruegge,
OF Williston who with tie support Of
the Macarthur faction, was elected.
Now Mclean and six other candidates
are fighting Macarthur.
! Macarthur, despite all the tangle is
going ahead with his plans for a
strong campaign. He is laying plans
for big achievement banquet" al
Bismarck, Sept. 8. He is in commu
nication with Governor Marshall of
Indiana in an effort to bring him tc
North Dakota to speak at this banquet
at which time funds will be raised
for the campaign.

two days for posse headed by Depu
ty Barnett of Billings county to 10

a farmer living, near Sentinel Butte
When the sheriff arrived at the place
IN quest of the man, he was met by
the declaration that Gatewood was
not at home, and that he, the deputy,
mad better make himself scarce
around those parts, and that there
might be bloodshed if any attempt at
making an arrest was put forth. Bar.
mott then established a line Of siege
around the Gatewood house.
Not until a man working in a
field, inside the rang, had stopped his
binder at almost the Identical point
on each round, ostensibly for the pur-
pose Of repairing some damage to the
machinery did the deputy and his men
locate Gatewood. He had taken re.
fuge in the field and the man working
on the binder was giving him regular
reports as to the movements of the
oesaeging party. Gatewood when the
posse closed in, surrendered.
