KELLY WILL NOT
RUN FOR GOVERNOR

Grand Forks, N. D., April 2S.-North
Dakota democrats must look elsewhere
for a g"ubernatorial candidate than to
J. Nelson Kelly of Grand Forks. Mr..
Kelly, in an interview given out here,
says he is not a candidate for the DEM
ocratic nomination.

he would be a candidate for the lead
ership of the ticket, and his announce
ment comes as a distinct surprise: also
It reopens the question which 1T has

There are numerous democrats to
whom the honor of being the party's
standard-bearer has attractions. These

Big STALLION
INJURIES KEEPER

G%lenburn, N. D., April 2S.-Jimmy
Fuller, keeper of l.. A. Murrills big
grey stallion, had a narrow escape from
death by that horse. He had taken the
animal out under control Of only a
halter, and was parading it on Main
street. Evidently with a. view to shoW
his ability to handle the horse he I'M
dertook to place a bit in his mouth and
this angered the big fellow and he
snapped at his keeper a time or two
and then grabbed him by the arm and
lifted him from the ground and started
to run. At the corner of, the, Glenburn
State bank the horse slipped on its
knees but he hung unto his keeper,
shaking, him as would a dog its prey.
Don Gillespie and Murrills, who had
been watching the horse. ran to Full
strap with the result that the horse
got up and came toward them rapidly,
80 fast that they, deemed it expedient
to duck into the bank door for safety,
and this proved a doubly wise move
for when the horse came to the door
they grabbed Fuller and pulled him
free. Fortunately he was wearing a
heavy sweater inc this kept the horse
from a deep hold on his arm. AS it
was he received but skin wounds on
his arm but he lost half of the index
finger on his right han
Mr.. Murrills placed a. bit in the
horses mouth and then with the as
sistance of A. c.. Dayton and Elias
Preskey, led him to his stall.

Stephens the. girls have improved
wonderfully, and the short concert
this morning brought forth a roar of
applause, as we'll as the college yell

arranged by Professor Stephens,
The organization is undoubtedly the
best club of it's kind ever maintained
by the local school, and there will
certainly be a large crowd at the
Baptist church to hear their first con-
cert tonight.
The special numbers OF the pro-
gram will add greatly to the enjoy
ment Of the program.
Manzanita Stephens will sing sew
eral vocal solos. A string trio COM
posed of violin, cello, and piano will
render several selections. Mary Dris-
coll. violin; Professor Stephens, cello,
and florence Gormley will compose the

tives Of the Minneapolis and Duluth
chambers of commerce are attending
hearings on bills for federal inspection
and grading Of grain, which began be-
fore the house committee on agricul-
ture today. c. A. Magnusson, di-
rector OF the Minneapolis exchange;
w. J. McCabe, president, n c. e.
Macdonald, secretary, Of the Duluth
exchange, expect to be heard by the
committee.
Witnesses representing grain ex-
changes throughout the west and
northwest are also here for the hear
Ing. They will not oppose the bill. but
tAey ave agreed to urge an amend
ment which provides that in case an
appeal from grading Is made 1t shall
be taken as the terminal point of ship
ment. This amendment will be oppos
ed by farmers organizations, who have
a few representatives among the wit
nesses. '
Grain buyers will feel they can
purchase on smaller margins" Mr.,
MagnuBson said, in reference to the
amendment, 'if they know that In case
Of an appeal from grades II can be
taken at the point of shipment. We
favor Standardization of grain and
federal supervision"
Representative Manahan, who is at
tending the hearing, remarked that
most Of the witnesses are grain ex-
change men, and he deplored the fact,
He fears that the farmers organiza =
tons will no. be adequately represent
ed, owing, he believes, to their lack OF
funds.

LIVE WIRES AT
NINOT TO MEET

Minot, N, D, April 2S.--A tremen-
dous upheaval both politically and in
civic matters is probable, following
the big mass meeting of all the mem
bers of the association of
this evening at the club rooms. The
meeting will start with a banquet,
followed by one speech made by the
secretary, Mr.. Hollenga, who, as a
mouthpiece of the association, will re-
port in detail the work SO far &C
camplished by the newly organized
association, n will also outline the
work OF the near future, and promises
to cause a sensation by the plans
which the directors and himself have
laid. The aggressive and successful
work of the secretary is becoming rec
ognized throughout the state and as a
"liye wire" success, his reputa-
ton has been growing steadily.
There was considerable scepticism
concerning the possible achievements
of the new association about the city
for some little time, which evidently
has passed away completely as the
whole city seems to be heartily in ac-
cord with the work of the association
and is lending It's support at every
turn. The future benefits accruing
from such work will undoubtedly be
tremendous. and q great deal OF this
success will be due solely to the new

Boosters Offer
5000 Special Premiums
for Dakota Dairy Cows
Fargo Commercial Club Offers 5000 in Special Premiums
for North Dakota Dairy Cattle at Fair
Offer Is Made to All North Dakota Exhibitors of Dairy
w"> Cattle, at North Dakota State Fair
Club Makes This Generous Offer Through Management of
North Dakota State Fair Association

That interest in the coming North
Dakota State fair is becoming more
and more pronounced each and every
day Is proven by the liberal offer
which the Fargo Commercial club has
recently authorized the North Dakota
State fair management to make, in it's
behalf, for the largest and best gener-
al display of. dairy cattle which is
shown at the 1914 North Dakota State
fair to be held in Fargo July 20 to rs,
inclusive.
The general idea Of the offering,
which in itself is an innovation in the
matter Of special premiums, originated
in the executive committee OF the club,
and the dairy cattle exhibitors of the
state will surely appreciate the gener-
u terms and conditions under which
they will be required to show.
The purpose Of the Fargo CONNER
cial club in formulating it's plan is to
give every encouragement possible to
the wonderful growth of interest in
the dairy cow, which has swept over
the state during the past two years,
and on that account a proviso has been
added which limits the exhibitors to
residents of North Dakota.
With a premium of this amount Of
fered, the local breeders will have an
equal chance with the professional
herds from u sister states In making
their exhibits entirely self supporting,

CARROLL OUT With
HIS ANNOUNCEMENT

Minot, N. D., April 2S.-To the vot-
ers Of North Dakota: In announcing
myself as a candidate for attorney gen.
eran in. the progressive party
primaries, I am asking for support
for the reason that I believe in GER
tain principles and in the enforcement
Of the law. The Office of attorney
general is one to which a man may
honorably aspire if his intent to oc-
cupy the same be for the upholding
Of the dignity and enforcement of the
laws of the state. In asking for the
suffrage of the people OF the state Of
North Dakota, / stand upon the plat
form Of the progressive party, which
declares for the enforcement Of all
law. I believe in the enforcement of
our laws. and l believe in the laws
which We have to enforce. l believe
in the active rather than the passive
enforcement of the law, and in such
official capacity as I have served the
people, have endeavored to show this
belief. In other words, should the
people Of the state see fit to entrust
me with the position of attorney gem
eral, 7 promise them to be continuous
ly and aggressively on the job.

RAILROAD NAN
LAYS BLAME ON
The FARMERS

New York, April 29.-Ignorance and
inefficiency of the country's farmers
rather than big business make up the
fundamental cause of the high cost of
living, Frank A. Vanderlip, president
OF the National City bank, declared at
a. dinner Of the American Cotton Man
u~tacturers' association here last night.
Land Is being utilized with but 40
per cent of efficiency, yet the farmer
Is not held culpable-he is not answes-
able to society, MIR. Vanderlip said, as
Is the railroad manager who produces
anything less than 100 per cent.
Mr.. Vanderlip deprecated what he
alluded to as the hampering regula-
tons under which business is being.
placed by law. AS a means Of obtain
ing relief for what he said is an ex-
listing business depression, he urged a
campaign Of education to have pub
lie opinion based on correct economic
principles
Discussing the cotton industry, he
said the department of agriculture
seems to be the one arm of our gov
eminent truly devoted to upbuilding
an intelligent development of our re-
sources.
I'VE are today a nation grown criti-
cal of business methods and resentful
ss IL
Vanderlip said. by far the greater
part of government energies, as re-
lated to business, are directed toward
destruction rather than constructive
and creative ends"
In so far as business Is responsible
for it's conduct, Mr.. Vanderlip declar-
ed, lit will not do to say that railroad
managers and corporation heads are
the representatives of publicly SUBJ
scribed capital and r therefore sub
.ject, in the interests of society, to a
surveillance that applies only to the
affairs Of public corporation, while
farmers represent such ignorance or
intelligence as they choose to bring
to bear the conduct OF their own af-
fairs
Farmers and Planters he c%ontinu-
ed, "also owe something to society in
the way of in%telligent1y conducting
their business. They hold the means
of production in their control. The
public interest and the common good
demand that they exercise the trust
with intelligence, efficiency and thrift,
quite as rightly as does public opinion
demand efficiency and honesty in bus
mess administration"

BUREAU OF LABOR
EXCHANGE FAVORED

Washington, April 2S.-proposals for
conditions; and thus prevent the an
nuaI recurrence of unemployment were
made public here by the federal in
dustrial relations commission.
Frank p. Walsh. chairman of the
commission, in transmitting copies of
the proposals to prospective witnesses
says that they are tentative and in
vites suggestions and criticisms.
National Bureaus Proposed.
The proposed legislation would
establish a national bureau OF labor
exchange in connection with the De-
partment of Labor, with a central
office in Washington, and branch Of
fees in other cities, and with a clear
ing house for each OF several districts
into which the country would be divid-
ed.
The bureau would have power to
establish and conduct free public en-
ployment Offices.
Would Urge Uniform Methods.
1t would also have jurisdiction over
all private employment offices doing
an interstate business or accepting
workmen for shipment to other states.
State, municipal and private employ
ment offices would be urged to CO.
operate and to adopt uniform methods
and regulations.
To Get Labor Market Data
The bureaus most important serv-
ice would be to gather and distribute
accurate information regarding the
labor market i'm various localities. This
information would be published in the
form of bulletins and would be made
available to persons seeking work and
every employer seeking workmen.
