FRAZIER AND OTHER
N0N-PART|SAN CAN
D|DATfS NOMINATED
McCumber Wins for Senator-Non.
partisan Candidates for Supreme
Court in the Lead.

Lynn J. Frazier, the nonpartisan
candidate tor governor on the republi-
can ticket, was nominated in Tuesdays
election. The returns are coming in
so slowly fyom the country precincts
that it Is impossible to give Frazier's
plurality but It may run up to $4,000.
Early returns indicated that Burdick
was in the lead, with Frame bad
third and Smith hardly in the fight at
all, but the country vote was so solid
Tor Frazier that it was known that he
would soon have a safe lead.
The other nonpartisan candidates
for state office have with little quee-
ton won out. Hall for secretary Of
state has surely defeated Hort and
kraabel for lieutenant governor de-
feated Sorlie. LANCER and Linde for
attorney general and Jorgenson and
Kositzky for auditor are running close
and the vote on the slope will deter
mine the winners.
The Fargo Forum says that Linde
has won over LANCER and states that
Taylor has defeated Olsness for insur-
ance commissioner. It states that An
derson, Stutsman and Mann were re-
nominated railroad commissioners.
The Forum states that Justice Fisk
seems certain Of denomination but be-
lieves that two Of the nonpartisan
candidates for the supreme bench have
won out. Robinson, Birdzell and
Grace, the three nonpartisan league
candidates are polling the entire
strength Of the league. Mcdonald is
leading Hoover for superintendent of
public instruction, but under the nom
partisan law, both candidates are NOM
mated. Indications are that 80 per
cent Of the nonpartisan candidates
for the legislature have won out.
Regardless of the Forums state
ment, it is safe to say that practically
every nonpartisan candidate for state
Office won.
In the democratic primaries. John
Burke for senator has easily beaten
Hellstrom. Macarthur seems to have
defeated Halvorson and Platou for
governor.

EXPRESSES HIS THANKS
TO REAR ADMIRAL PEARY
Explorer Stefansson Grateful for Re-
fusal to Credit Rumors Regard
ing His Expedition.

Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the Arctic ex-
plorer. who has been in the far north
for three years in charge of the Cana
dian Arctic expedition, has written
letter to Rear Admiral Robert, f.
Peary, L. S. N. discoverer of the north
pole, which Admiral Peary has made
public here. The letter warmly thanks
Admiral Peary for refusing to credit
rumors reaching the United States two
years ago that the Stefansson party was
lost, and, in making public the letter
Admiral Peary said he thinks Stefansson
has probably carried out his plans for
the last spring and summer and prob
ably has returned to or started for his
winter base. The letter has been on the
way from Hay Point. Victoria Island,
since December II, 1915.
Text of the Letter.
1t is as follows:
Near Hay Point Victoria Island,
October {, 1915.
Dear Admiral Peary: l have you to
thank for the highest compliment You
could have paid me. You have consist
entity expressed to the public the opin-
ion that we We're alive and safe. 1 take
that to mean you believed l would not

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-03-06


Tomorrow morning the Cubs will
be in their training camp at Tampa,
and, according to his reported
plans, Joe Tinker will have the men
out exercising on a real diamond in
the afternoon. This plan is liable to
a change, however, and actual work
will not be taken up before Wednes-
day.
Tomorrow will be devoted to get
ting settled and to short walks for
stretching the legs Of the athletes.
Of course, we will get a flock of re
ports about the prowess of the re
cruits and about how they are max
ing the veterans take to the cellars,
but this will be only the preseason
dope.
DispIacing any of the Cub regu-
lars will be a manful task and one not
likely to be accomplished by any Of
the youngsters who are candidates.
MuIligan may land a utility berth to
start the season, but he will not be
an infieId regular at the first bell.
p The same goes for Alex mccarthy
and Charley PechOus, the Tribune
amateur.
But either MUIIigan or Mccarthy
has a chance of landing something
regular before the end of the season
if they do not fail on the training
trip. Tinker's keystone performers.
EIike DOoIan and Steve Yerkes, are
both aging, and either may have to
take a short vacation at any time
during the campaign.
The outfieIders are all veterans but
Pete Allison, who goes with the Cubs
each spring, and Pete will not break
through this year. He has harder
competition than ever before. Behind
the bat Archer and Fisher are sure,
and the pitching staff is made up of
veterans.

are reducing their weight with no
danger to their arms and are boiling
out under a hot sun.
This season neither Cubs or SoX
have a hold-out, which is a good
omen.
Special trains will leave Northwest
ern and st. Paul depots at $50 this
evening for Milwaukee, where Ad
Wolgast and Freddie Welsh are due
for a ten-rOund bout.
Welsh should win by a good mar
gin, of course, but the champion is a
deceptive person and may pull one of
his punk dancing exhibitions, in
which event the rugged Wolgast
would get a victory. What such a
verdict would be worth to the CadiI-
lac man is something else again.
Ad is through as a championship
possibility and is about ready to re-
cOgnize that fact. He isstiII willing
fighter, however, and has a large fol-
lowing. That is because he fought
when he was a champion and was
not afraid to risk his crown in %
rounds.
Welsh can only win back the fight
fans by taking on some strong con-
tender in 20 rounds ad waIloping him.
