AID DEMOCRATS ARE PLEAsED
Appointee is Recognized MS Man of
Ability, but He Had no Political
Following.

w
Following. I
Washington, ID. c., June 22.-Rob;.
Lansing, who. as counsellor of the
State Department, has advised Pres
ident Wilson in law and precedent
in the policy pursued by the United
states toward belligerent Govern
nients since the outbreak of the
European war, was named today
Secretary of State to succeed VIII
lam Jennings Bryan
Few appointments in recent years
haye given such widespread salts
faction in the national capitol. Mr..
Lansing is a lifelong Democrat, but
has devoted his time to inter-
rational law and diplomacy and is as
popular with former Republican
Officials as with his colleagues. Mem
hers of the Cabinet were unanim-
ous in their recommendation that
he should be appointed.
Col. K. NJ. House and others close
personal friends of the President
advised the selection and Mr.. Bryan
himself, although not consulted, Is
Understood to have horod for the
promotion of Mr.. Lansing. sE
Official annouAce the sell
rction of Mr.. Lansing, who has been
serving as Secretary ad interim
lince the resignation of Mr. Bryan
bn June s, was made in the follow
ing statement issued from the White
Eeuse tonight:
t Before leaving the capital for a
brief rest in New Hampshire the
president announced that be had
efered The post of Secretary Of State
to MIR. Robert Lansing, the present
counsellor of the Department or
State, and that Mr.. Lansing has ac-
cepted the appointment"
"A commission was prepared which
President Wilson signed tonight, Civ
Ing Mr.. Lansing a recess appoint
lilent. When Congress convenes the
nomination will go to the Senate.
No opposition is anticipated.
One of the peculiar circumstances
IN connection with Mr., Lansing's ap-
ppintment is that he personally has
no political backing or influence.
Succeeding William Jennings Bryan,
foremost among the leaders of the
Democratic party a comparative
ly unknown quantity in the political
world has been ushered into the
premiership Of the Cabinet
This very reason ind ed commend
ed itself to the Presidentsadmirer
as reason for the appointment o. :;
man of Mr.. Lansings experience and
ability, the argument being advanc-
ed that at so critical a time in the
Nations history the people of the
Unted States wished all political
considerations subOrdinated. Mr.,
lansing takes Office thoroughly Ia
miliar with the personnel and or
ganization of the Department OF
S,ale, conversant with cOntidrntal
details Of all the important negOtia-
tions conducted by the United States
since the Wilson adminitration be-
gan. Moreover, he has a wide KNOW
edge Of politics under previous al
ministrations and an especially in
innate acquaintance with Mexican
affairs and Far Eastern problems.

HER TRIUMPH

The Moving Picture World has to
say of "Her Triumph" which is to
be shown at the Lyric Theatre Mon
day, October rs.
Gaby Deslys in "Her Triumph" the
four-part Famous Player Production,
shows that she can portray emotion,
as well as motion. The story is an
original one Of the theatre, and was
written especially for the charming
dancer. The atmosphere Of the play
house is finely maintained through
out. % r
"Her Triumph" exploits the wonder
full dancing of Deslys. There are
other elements of interest, however,
among them that Of melodrama. The
story is of a humble understudy: in
love with the leading comedian. Jeal-
ousy on the part of the leading
woman impels her to demand the dis
missal Of the girl she c%onceives to be
her rival. The manager refuses and
the ~understudy goes IN. Later the
former leading woman conspires with
her lover to abduct her successor.
Gaby is rescued by the leading man.
The dancing of the star and her
partner, Harry Pilcer, makes rare
entertainment. Deslys, whether dane
ing or %portraying dramatic role, is
charming.

ATTORNEY TOTEM IS OUT

Edward P. Totten of Bowman
county, violated the corrupt practices
act of North Dakota, when, in a pre-
election statement relative to his
candidacy for county Judge, he
pledged the return to the county of
that part of his salary exceeding
$1,000 a year.
Because of this pledge, the SUI
preme court today affirmed the lower
courts decision by which Totten is
denied the office, despite the fact he
obtained a majority of the votes. .

cuted the suit and now holds the
county judgship.
The supreme court finds as follows:
Frisby E. Diehl, contestant and re-
spondent, VS.. Edward P. Totten, con-
testee and appellant.
Syllabus: Defendant, while a AN
didate for office published the CON-
munication set forth in the opinion.
Upon contest it is claimed that such
publication disqualifies him from

Practice Act.
:. ~ Conceding that members of
the United States senate and con-
gress from this state and state offic-
ers subject to impeachment, may not
be removed from office under the

valid piece of legislation remains.
The office Of county judge comes
within the provisions of said act.
Moreover in the case at bar consti-
tutional questions were not sufficient

which contains the following lang
uage: "I pledge the people Of Bow

is held to be a violation of the Cor
rupt Practice Act and disqualities de-
