CAPITOL REMOVAL
WORKERS BUSY
Bets Made That Vote Will Be
Taken On the Question,

From reports around the state it Is
seen that the New Rockford rustlers
for signatures to the capital removal
petitions are still busy. The petit
tions will have to be filed by the 9TH
of May with the secretary of state.
The New Rockford agents are at
tending meetings at various places
and also working in different counties
to secure the required number Of
names, which will be for the state
about 10000. ....
In Stutsman county a number of
petitions are out and about 1000
names will have to be secured from
this county with the probability of
that being done. A good many names
of well-known residents have already
been secured on the petition putting
this matter up to a vote. II enough
the vote will be taken on the subject
in November next at the general elec-
tion, and if the amendment to the
constitution is adopted, according to
the regular course Of procedure, the
capital of the state will be moved to
New Rockford after 1922.
1t is said that travelling men who
have visited all parts of the state are
betting that the question will be sub
mitted to a vote of the people, and
Bismarck bets two to one to the con-
trary-taken as fast as offered.
The report that the capital removal
first originated in Fargo has gained
general credence. What significance
the proposition coming from WASH
burn to remove the agricultural col
lege from Fargo to Washburn has is
also a matter of some speculation.
Many think that the proposal to re-
move the agricultural college, to a
town near Bismarck is back-fire
movement to get even with the Fargo
proposition to remove the capital
from Bismarck to New Rockford.

on a charge of numbering his former

request of the defense is expected.

witnesses, for the most part the same
persons who testified at the coroner's
inquest.
It is charged that the tragedy was
the elimination of liaison, that 1t
was precipitated by Orpet's transfer
ring his affection to another woman,
and that he provided a violent poison
which the girl swallowed.

GOV. HANNA BACK
FROM PEACE EXPEDITION
North Dakota Chief Executive Re-
turns From Peace Crusade.

Governor L. B. Hanna of North
Dakota arrived from the East last
night, passing through jamestown
on No. / en- route to Bismarck. He
came directly from New York City
via Chicago and Minneapolis, where
he was met by his brother, R. c..
Hanna, and number of North Da-
kotans. In a statement at Fargo he
said:
Il am just getting home and want
a chance to size up the situation in
the state before l make any state
ments, but in few days 1 will have a
whole lot to say about political af-
fairs; in North Dakota"
Governor Hanna said that he had
practically recovered from the at
tack Of gastric fever at Copenhagen.
They were sixteen days crossing from
Denmark.
Peace in Year.
Asked about the war, Governor
Hanna replied that the people in the
warning countries felt that the war
would last year longer at least. 1t
seemed to be their opinion that about
a years more fighting will cripple the
nations involved financially and that
peace will naturally follow.
while away my time has been
spent in Norway, Denmark, Germany
and Holland" he continued. Their
viewpoint of the war and conditions
generally is different than ours.
Each of the so-called neutral coun-
tries is trying it's best to preserve
it's neutrality, and this is not an easy
thing to do when surrounded by
warlike neighbors like Germany,
France, England and Russia.
Germany is being blockaded on
the sea by England and of some
things, especially milk, there is a
scarcity.
What do you think of the Ford
expedition, and did it do any good?'
was next asked the governor.
Il went abroad with Mr.. Ford,
but owing to illness was with the
party only in Norway" replied Gov
ernor Hanna. 'The party selected
five delegates to represent them
Henry Ford, w. J. Bryan, DR.. Aked,
Miss Jane Adams and Mrs. Joseph
Fels-for the purpose of Joining with
delegates from other neutral coun-
tries in an effort to crystalize the
peace sentiment in Europe.
"All civilization cries aloud to
come to the relief of warning human
ity, and whether the war is ended
sooner or later every effort and influ-
ence helps to pave the way to even
tually bring about a permanent world
peace"
