Bismarck. N. D., Nov. 1.-Two can

the front since the election Of Tusday,
frank E. Ployhar of Valley City and
A. N. Thompson, both of whom were
member of the house two years ago,
are the candidates who have come to
the front.
Both Of these members Of tho house
were prominent in the activities of the

the chairman of the appropriations com

important factor in the handling Of Thu

Tuesday. According to scattering re-.
turns from several parts Of the state the
proposed amendment to the constitution
which would have given them a ten
year term was defeated by a good ma.
joiity against It.
There appeared to be a we'll defined
feeling among the voters at large that
six years was long enough for one term
and while no organized campaign agains
it was made. the vote was decidedly un-
favorable to the amendment according
to returns which are available. These
same returns indicate that the other two
amendments carried by a safe vote.
Had the amendment increasing the
term of judges carried it would have
affected not only the term of Judge
Bruce who was elected Tuesday, but
also the terms of Judges Fisk and Burk
who were elected two years ago. Judge
Bruce would have been elected for ten
years n Judge Fisk who was high
mar two years ago would lave secured
a ten year term. Judge Burke who was
second nigh man two years ago would
have had his term increased to eight
Years.
Or the other two amendments the one
which attracted the most interest was
mat giving to the legislature the right
to build terminal elevators at Superior
or Minneapolis to handle the grain for
the Independent local elevators. This pro
position was backed by the state branch
OF the American Society Of Equity.
The other amendment is important in
That it changes the law IN regard to the
sale of school land so that it will no
longer be necessary to wait 20 years to
get a deed.
