JONES MAY RUN
FOR SENATOR

Fargo, June 22.-Attorney George P.
Jones, famililiarly known over the
northwest as Zones of Rock" was q
business visitor in the city yesterday.
Mr. Jones is now located at Valley
City, having opened law offices there
several weeks ago. In an interview
last evening he evinced considerable
interest in the political gossip going
the rounds, especially that relative to
the United States senatorship.
Attorney Jones was the democratic
candidate for that Office in 1914 and
he would not deny that he intended to
make the race again in 1916. From
the trend of the conversation last eve
ming the impression was had that ha
undoubtedly will become candidate
in the democratic primaries next sum-
mer.
Mr.. Jones was much pleased with
the Wilson day idea and regretted that
he was unable to stay over and attend.
He returns home this morning and
this afternoon will address the annual
Old Settlers picnic at Valley City.
