Third Party to Make Effort
at Capturing Support
Of League.

The annual meeting of the Scandi-

IN Grand Forks December 3, the call
for the gathering being announced to-
day by Secretary o. T. Rishoff Of this
city. A. G. Hanson of Fargo, presi-
dent Of the league. will. preside over
the coming gathering.
The most important feature OF the
session will be the anticipated at
tempt OF the bull moosers to gain con-
troll OF the organization. They at
tempted to do SO last year, but the re-
publican members outvoted them.
Now. however. the new party men
contend they have sufficient strength
to capture the league, and a sharp
conflict Is certain to result from their
attempt at doing SO. .
There will be other features for
consideration as well. these including
the election of officers and the trans
action of routine business. :,
The question. Of policy will hinge
very largely OF the. action. of the
league with reference to control.
Should It become. afflliated with the
bull moosers, its departure from the
former expressions Of policy will be
quite material.
The Scandinavian republican lea
que has been organized for a num-
Der Of years, and 1t has been a promi-
nent factor in several campaigns in
this state.
