Burleigh county has every reason to
expect good, constructive service from
its legislative delegation to the Fif.

at the election, when Carol D. King
of Menoken received 1870 votes fol
the state senate to 52S for his oppon

Farming and Business.
Each of the four Burleigh count!

farmer. Senator Carol D. Kings farm
near Menoken is one of the finest IL

has splendid place near the same vii
lage, and Representative Frank G
Prater is known as one OF the mos
progressive and successful agricultur

All of these men have also beef

CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION FOR
STATE ADVOCATED
League Caucus This Week Prob.
ably Will Endorse Calling of
Special Assembly
WOULD PAVE WAY FOR
PROGRESSIVE MEASURES
Idea is to 80 Revise Constitution
as to Garry out Organize
tons Program

The convening of a constitutional
convention March l, 1917, will be the
most important matter to be discussed
at the Non.Partisan league caucus to
be held here this week.
Announcement to this effect was
made today by prominent local
league leader. .
Except by an occasional amend
ment, North Dakota's constitution has
undergone little change since it's adop'
tion by the first constitutional conven-
tion, provided for in the enabling act
approved by congress February %,
1889. Delegates to this convention
were elected in May, 1889, to the num-
ber of Is, and they assembled in Bis
marck and organized July 4, 1889. The
constitution which they framed was
adopted October /, 1889, by vote OF
27,441 to 8,1O7. -.,,.
To Pave the Way.
The purpose for which the new con.
stitutional convention is proposed is
a general revision of the constitution
which will pave the way for the ultra
progressive program adopted by the
Non-Patisan league and approved by a
majority of members of both houses
of the Fifteenth general assembly.
If bill providing for the assembling
OF constitutional convention passes
both houses, the governor may then by
proclamation call a special election for
the selection of delegates to the con
vention. The results of the delibera'
tions Of these delegates will be EN-
bodied in a proposed draft of a new
constitution, which must be published
for three months and then submitted
to a vote of the people, and which, up
on approval of majority of the elect
ors voting will be referred to the legis
lative assembly TO- be chosen at the
next general election, with whose
agreement to each. of it's articles the
constitution will be adopted.

CLASH FEARED
At JUAREz CITY
(By United Press.)

FL Paso, Texas, Dec. 25.-An Amer.
ican here, known as close friend OF
Francisco Villa, claimed yesterday
that he had received information that
when Villas forces occupied Tore
on, the bandit chief gave orders to
commanders not to harm lives and
property of foreigners. Villa is not at
Torreon in person, but was said to DE
in the vicinity of Bermejillo.
A clash between forces of General
Jose Murguia and General Gonzales
is feared. Christmas celebration is
responsible for much intoxication at
,Juarez and feeling between the two
commands is bitter. The two generals
are hostile and before the celebra'
tions are over, trouble, it is feared,
will result.
