Returns INCOMPLETE:
BIG BURD|CK VOTE
RESULTS OF YESTERDAYS PRI-
MARIES NOT YET CONCLU-
SIVELY KNOWN
Burdick Made Wonderful Run But
May Be Beaten By Townley's
Man

At five p. m. yesterday the most in
teresting primary election ever held
in North Dakota closed. The results
are not known, at the hour of going
to press, on the more closely contest
ed offices such as governor and U. 5.
senator but bulletins from Fargo at
noon indicate that matters are badly
mixed. The league organized by e..
A. Townley and his solicitors have
nominated some of it's men while in
other cases the regular republican
candidates have won.
1t is probable that Frazier, the
league leaders choice, has been NOM
mated over Usher l.. Burdick of this
city. Frazier was backed by un-
limited funds and the most efficient
political machine North Dakota has
ever seen. Burdick, with campaign
fund that kept strictly within the linn
its, and handicapped by two lessor
candidates who split up the regular
republican strength, made magnlti-
cant race. If he is beaten it is be-
cause Of the registering as republl-.
cans Of thousands of socialists and
democrats as republican.
On the face of returns received at
Fargo up to three p. m. today Frazier
seemed likely to win by 5000 but re-
turns from the western part of the
state were swelling the Burdick COL
umn. The Frain vote showed even
lighter than expected but is sufficient
to be responsible for the socialistic
success if success it proves to be.
U. S. Senatox
L. B. Hanna is the winner in Will
liams county but is probably beaten
by McCumber in the state, with Mes
tos third.
Below are some precinct figures and
totals for 26 precincts in Williams
county. What the remaining 40 pre-
cincts will show is uncertain. The
vote in general was not as heavy as
expected on account of heavy storms
that prevailed in many parts.
Stony Creek, Burdick's farm home
precinct, cast a solid republican vote
for him. .

Company E Expects To
Go To California

A dispatch from Captain Evans
states that the North Dakota regi-
ment will probably leave Fort Lin
coin early next week for southern
California by way of Portland. He
says 20 recruits for E Company are
wanted.
Another message from Sargent
Thiessen says that call for voIun-
teers for the aviation corps VS. re
sponded to by 21 members of the
company. He also states that the diff
ferent companies are provided with
commisary funds ranging from $500.
to $1,000. The purpose Of such
fund is to make it possible for the
boys to secure such comforts and
necessities as are not provided for IN
the government rations-fruit, veg
etables, tobacco and reading matter,
etc. The fund for. the Williston com.
pany has not yet been completed but
IS being raised this week. There is
nothing too good for the boys who
have gone to the front.

Roosevelt Comes Out
Squarely For Hughes

Chicago, ILL.,, June 26.-Theodore
Roosevelt, in letter read to the Pro
gressive national committee in session
here today finally declined to accept
the presidential nomination of the
party and strongly urged the Bull
Moose organization to support
Hughes.
Roosevelt's letter was read by Os-
car King Davis, secretary Of the COM
mittee. 1t was in part as follows:
To the Progressive National Com
mittee:
Gentlemen-In accordance with the
message I sent to the Progressive ma
tional convention as soon as | had
received the notification that it had
nominated me for president, | now
communicate to you nv reasons for
declining the honor which | so deeply
appreciate. Since the adjournment of
the convention | have received be-
tween two and three thousand letters
and kilograms from men who had
supported me for the nomination, the
majority expressing the desire that |
would refuse to run, while a minority
urged that l should accept the NOM
ination. AS it is physically impos-
sble to answer these letters and tele-
grams individually, l beg of the cour-
tesy of the senders that they will ac-
cept this public statement in lieu of
such answers.
Mr.. Hughes has shown in his career
the instinct of efficiency which will
guarantee that, under him, the gov
ernment will once more work with
vigor and force. He possesses that
habit of aightforward thinking
which means that his words will be
correlated with his deeds and trans
lated into fact. His past career is the
warrant for our belief that he will be
the unfaltering opponent of that sys-
tenn of invisible government which
finds expression in the domination of
the party boss and the party ma
chine. His past career is guarantee
that whatever he says before election
will be made good by his acts after
election. Morally, his public record
shows him to be man Of unbending
integrity; intellectually, it shows him
to be man Of original and trained
ability. We have the alternative of
continuing in office an administration
which has proved a lamentable fail
ure, or Of putting into office an ad
ministration which we have every
reason to believe will function with
efficiency for the interest and honor
of all our people. I earnestly bespeak
from my fellow Progressives their
ungrudging support of Mr.. Hughes.
Yours truly,
Theodore Roosevelt.
Sycamore Hill, June %, 1916.

for Fort Lincoln (Bismarck) at five
a. m. Sunday morning. Relatives and
friends in large numbers were at the
station to say farewell, good luck and
a safe return to the boys in brown
who have answered their country's
call. The city takes just pride in her
soldier boys who have answered so
promptly the call of duty. The boys
will be sadly missed-are already
missed, from Offices and stores and
shops and farms.
I Dinner and Dance
Friday evening was one long to be
remembered by the Company and
many citizens who sought to express
the measure of pride and affection
the city feels for her soldier boys. A
sumptuous dinner was prepared and
served at Odd Fellows hall by the
ladies of the city. Two large tables
We're spread bountifully laden and
beautifully decorated with. cut flow
ers. Flags of various sizes were
draped on the walls, and small flag
pins served to fasten buttoniers Of
pansies. Over sixty Of the Company
were seated at the tables.
The women of Williston, including 9
all organizations, churches and many
individuals as we'll as business firms
contributed to the occasion. The
Commercial club sent several boxes
of cigars. Besides the dinner the Of
ferings of the ladies included $2S.55
in cash which was turned over to the
Company officers for the commisary
fund.
After dinner J. w. jackson, w. G.
Owens and Rev. Ellsworth made ap-
propriate addresses. The people alb
sent with the Burdick Special felt
keen regret at missing the memorable
affairs.
Company Play
The same evening the company pre-
sented the home talent play AT
Tampa Bay" at the Armory to large
and appreciative audience. After the
play a most enjoyable dance was held
and was joined in by soldiers and
citizens.
The militia boys appreciated the
occasion to the fullest and were en-
phatic in their appreciation of the ap-
probation and consideration shown
them.
FLAG PRESENTED
The Williston Elks presented Com
pany "E" with a beautiful flag to
serve as the Company's colors. The
presentation was made Saturday even
ing when large number of the B. P.
o. E. marched in a body to the Arm
ory. The presentation was made by
VIM. G. Owens in fitting address,.
The acceptance was made by Lieut..
E. w. Jeffrey who expressed the pleas
ure and gratitude of the Company.
Unfortunately the flag itself did not
arrive until after the Company left
for Fort Lincoln. Tuesday it was on
exhibition in Hedderich & Co. win
dow. 1t is 10 feet in size, made
of the best flag bunting, is trimmed
with fringe cord and tassel Of gold
color, and is attached to wooden
staff. The Flag will be forwarded to
the Company.

Game With Bainville
Friday Evening, $3.50

Bainville is coming for game with
the Opportunes tomorrow evening.
Williston won the game played at
Bainville Monday, 8 to 2, but the Mon

ton.
Spalding, who pitched last Sundays
game for Glasgow against Williston,
and who is ranked as one of the very
best semi-pro twirlers in the North

ming streak. It will be a game worth
seeing.

CARRANzA PROTESTS
ALLEGED 0UTRAGES
NO REPLY TO AMERICAN DE-
MANDS-CRUCIAL TIME CON-
SIDERED TO BE AT HAND

Washington, June 2S.-A note, pro-
testing against outrages against Mex
lean citizens, alleged to have been
committed by the American forces
10000 strong, in marching from San
Geronimo toward Vale, was sent to
the state department today by Mexi-
can Ambassador Designate Arredondo,
on instructions from the Carranza
foreign office. 1t contained a vigorous
complaint against the alleged arrest
and mistreatment of 800 civilians at
La Cruz. 1t requested that the guilty
officers be punished and that steps be
taken to prevent a recurrence.
An overnight dispatch from Special
Agent Rodgers at Mexico City brought
the information that special car left
yesterday for Vera Cruz carrying 70
Americans, including 21 from Guasa
juato. The message was the first word
the department has received from
Rodgers since he reported the deliv-
ery of the note, and said the Mexican
authorities were investigating the
Carrizal affair, but gave no indica-
ton of a probable reply to the Amer
lean demands.
The note charges the Apache scouts
with the Americans with brutal treat
ment of people in their path.
The column referred to is presum-
ed to be part of Pershing's main force
moving northward from the advanced
base at Namiquipa, according to the
note, with orders to draw in the lines
in preparation for possible general
assault.
So far as learned, the war depart
ment has not been advised of the ar
rest of any civilians.

Fort Lincoln, Bismarck, June a.
Further indications of an early move
Of North Dakota troops from Fort
Lincoln came today with an order for
all recruiting officers to report here
Immediately.
Each company had detailed at the
home station a lieutenant, non-com-
missioned officer and a private to en-
list men for the purpose of bringing
the regiment up to war strength, and
these men are expected in camp to-
morrow.
This means that recruiting will
cease and the previous orders to equip
the men on hand so that the troops
can leave Immediately will be carried
into effect.
A good portion of the men recruited
late have been fitted out and more
equipment is being received hourly:
AS to where the troops will go IS still
a matter Of conjecture, but from un-
official sources comes information that
it will be St. Louis, Mo. The general
opinion is that the North Dakota regl-
ment will be sent first to a big con-
centration camp, where troops can
be trained IN masses and also Tor tne
purpose Of shooting on the large
ranges at St. Louis.
The forenoon was spent in drill,
battalion movements being execut-
ed for the first time. Williston is cred
tied with sending the best drilled COM
pany into camp, with Company M, OF
Grand Forks, close competitor. Will
liston, like Grand Forks, has an or
ganization of home boys. Company
C.. of Grafton has one made up of
men who have served in the militia
of that place before and they expect
ed to swing into shape in short time.

Crucial Day In Crisis

Washington, June 2S.-This is re-
garded by Washington officials as the
cruical day in the negotiations with
Mexico.
1t is probably the last day allowed
Carranza in which to comply with the
United States demand for the re-
lease of % troopers held as prison.
ers at Chihuahua City.
If a reply, either by act, or in a
communication does not arrive by to-
night, or if it is necessary, President
Wilson is determined to go before
congress, probably tomorrow, and ask
authority to rescue the prisoners by
force.
Unofficial reports today said Car
ranza's reply was enroute to Wash
ington. Officials had no intimation of
it's nature.
All questions including possible
mediation, are regarded as subsi-
diary to that of freeing the troopers
held as prisoners.

is every indication today that the
North Dakota regiment which now is

son received orders today to notify
the railroads of the route to be taken,
but he has not received the route. 1t

New Cause For Apprehension

Ell Paso, June 2S.-Fresh cause for
apprehensio nwas found along the
border today in the news Of the gath
ering of strong forces of former Villa
soldiers under notorious chieftains in
the vicinity of Juarez and close sur
veillance by civil and military au-
thorities of former Villa adherents
who are now refugees in Ell Paso.
General Jose Alorez, commanding
500 infantrymen is reported to be in
Juarez after making peace with the
de facto government. General Man
uel Banda, once a Villa subordinate
is known to be across the Rio Grande
and Manuel Medinavietta and Jose
Ysabel Roblez have taken advantage
of amnesty granted by Carranza.
Maxine Castillo, another former Villa
leader, is in Juarez.
