White Speaks.

Chicago, June 1.-THE delegates to
the General Federation of .Nomen's S
Clubs listened in the swef,ring heat
of the great Auditorium theater to
dry reports in perfectly good humor,
to the swaying of innumerable fans.
The suffrage question smouldered,
while interest in it remained para
mount. There was no disposition to
take seriously the prediction of the
Philadelphia woman, that an endorse
ment of the ballot for women would
result in the Federation splitting.
suffragists Claim Majority.
The suffragists claim a majority of
the voting delegates. There was con.
siderable surprise when the report OF
the committee on rules and regula.
tions, consigning all resolutions to
the committee, was adopted. The
same rule was adopted at San Fran
cisco, two years ago, and much crit
icised as taking too much power from
the delegates themselves. 1t placed
the suffrage question at the mercy oi
six women. Suffragists feel assured
that some kind of endorsement will
take place IL the eoIlnitteos@ A lGs e

famous coronation chair in Edward

N. D. Senator'S Vote,

Those voting for repeal included
Crawford, Gronna, McCumber, Nelson
and Sterling. Against, is included
Senator Clapp. The passage of the
bill, after bitter struggle lasting
several months,is regarded as another
victory for President Wilson, although
13 republicans came to the aid Of the
democrats in voting for the bill. The
president initiated the movement in
his party. There has been no certain
promise from the White House that
president would sign the bill with its
qualifying amendment, but there has
been no declaration he would veto
it, and party leaders of the senate
practically are certain that it's ap-
proval, as amended by the house,
will lead to favorable action by the
president.

COUNTY SEAT
Citizens of Hannaford Are Inter-
ested in Griggs County
Capitol.

Hannaford, N. D., June 11.-Al.
though not centrally located, Hanna.
ford has county seat ambitions.
Cooperstown, the present county seat,
is located on the branch of the North.
ern Pacific. Hannaford has the same
branch. In addition Hannaford also
is located on the Great Northern main
line between Fargo and Minot. Just
now the citizens are seeking the Mid
land Continental. Should that road be
landed it will traverse the county in
another direction, making all of
Griggs county tributary to Hannaford.
At present Hannaford is the only
town in the county that is located on
two railroads and with the third line
through this point Hannaford will be
the logical location for the county
seat.
Both Want Midland.
Both Hannaf0rd and COOperstOWn
want the Midland. Cooperstown peo-
pie realize that if Hannaford captures
the Midland, it will be only a question
