FRAZIER TO
STAND BY LEAGUE

Lynn J. Frazier, Republican
candidate for governor of North
Dakota will stand by the Nom
partisan league platform, irres-
pective of action taken by the
Republican state central commit
tee when that body meets in Bis.
marck Sept. 6.
In an interview published in
the current edition of The Nom
partisan leader, Mr.. Frazier de-
clares that he will stand by the
league program from start to
finish-and he also maintains
that it is up to the Republican
committee to formulate pro-
gram that is in accord with the
Nonpartisan platform.
Mr.. Frazier takes the position
that the Republican voters of the
state, when they nominated him
by majority over all
rival candidates accepted his per-
Isonal platform-which is the
platform cf the Nonpartisan
league. In view of that fact, he
maintains it is up to the Rcpub-
lican committee TO take cogni-
zance of the primary election
vote as relates to the candidates,
and as to the platform.
For some time it has been re-
ported that an attempt might be
made to secure the adoption of a
platform at the committee meet
ing that would be antagonistic 10

NORTH CAROLINA
EXPECTED HERE
DURING WINTER

The cruiser North Carolina is now
at Boston, and will visit the navy
yard at Portsmouth at an early date,
according to information received
here yesterday from men aboard the
ship.
The vessel went to Norfolk after
the war games off the Atlantic coast
several weeks ago, and from that
point went to Massachusetts. 1t is
expected that the boat will visit Mar
blehead, and other points before leav-
ing the New England coast.
It is understood that very little
work is being done with the Cham,
bers catapult, and practically no fly
ing is being done. The North Caro-
lima will possibly take aboard several
Burgess-Dunne planes before return
ing to southern waters. 1t is not
yet definitely known whether the
cruiser will be stationed at the aero
nautical station for maneuvers this
winter, but 1T is expected that both
the North Carolina and the sister ship
he Washington, will be here during
the winter.

THREE NEW CURT|ss
FLYING BOATS HERE

Three new Curtiss flying boats an
rived at the aeronautical station yes
terday morning and will be assembled
and tested Immediately. They are
similar in every detail to the ones al
ready in use there, with the exception
of the plane and rudder controls,
which are the Dubission type.
This particular control uevice was
tested first on the Sturtevant and
later tried out on other machines. It
differs from all others which have
been used at the station, in that it
places that rudder entirely under the
operation of the feet. 1t is expected
that all of the machines which will
be sent to the station in the future
will be equipped with the Dubission
control.
These three machines were includ-
ed in a previous order of the navy
department and not in the bids re-

the Curtiss flying boat which has
