HORT GETTING
STRONG SUPPORT
Republican Candidate for Sec
retary of State on Way to
s E. Counties.

J. l.. Hjort, republican candidate
for secretary of state, arrived in Bis
marck last evening, enrOute to south
eastern points. He has begun a viG.
orous campaign and reports received
from all portions of the state indi
cate that Mr.. Hjort is gaining ground
fast and stands an excellent show
of landing the nomination.
The fact that he is making his cam
paign as a republican has gained him
thousands of friends throughout the
state. When in the legislature, Mr..
Hjort was one of the most popular
members. He has been receiving in
vitations from all parts of the state
for addresses. Bad roads prevented
him from making the great celebra-
ton at lEnderlin yesterday, where he
was billed to appear at the 18th CT
May festivities.
On May 80, he will be guest Of
honor at Washburn, at the Memorial
Day celebration.
Members of the state press are do
ing much to assist Mr.. Hort in his
campaign. From other sources he
has received promises of valuable
support. There seems to be a general
feeling over the state that there
should be change in the admins
tration of the secretary of states of
fee. @

today was larger than at any previ-
GUS meeting in years, despite the late
arrival of some trains.

YOUNG, HOMAN,
BLEXRUD FOR
LEGISLATURE
Petitions Are Being Circulated
by Their Friends in This
County.
COL. G. B. LITTLE TO
RUN FOR THE SENATE
That Burleigh Have a
Strong Delegation at Next
Session.

Petitions were circulated yesterday
for G. l.. Young, John Homan OF Bis
marck, and A. M. Blexrud, Regan, who
are being urged to run for the Re-
publican nomination for the legisla-
ture. Col G. B. Little's petitions for
state senator have been filled and will
be filed soon.
These men can be depended upon
to work for the best interests OF Bis
marck. There are many important
questions affecting this county to
come before the next session and it
is important that the city and county
be well represented.
1t was only after the earnest solici-
tation of their friends that these men
consented to run. c. l.. Young is one
of the citys leading attorneys. He
served for several years as assistant
attorney general. Mr.. Young probably
has as wide an acquaintance among
the legislators as anyone in the city.
His service in the attorney generals
Office gave him considerable expert
ence in law making which will be of
value to Burleigh county.
Mr.. Blexrud is a we'll known farm
er and will represent their interests.
He is identified with the various farm
ers' movements and has made a study
of marketing problems and other leg
islation of interest to the farmers.
The farmers of this county will find
their interests we'll protected by Mr..
Blexrud. t..
John Homan has represented Bur.
leigh county at two former sessions
Of the legislature. He is popular with
the legislators and will be a valuable
member of the. delegation, Mr.. Flo
iats1i in all his votes worked for the
best interests Of the county. He is
alive to the needs Of this section OF
the state.
Col. Little's service in the legisla-
ture is too we'll known to need addi-
tiOnal comment. With the exception
of two terms, he has served in the
senate since statehood. 1t was only
upon the insistence of his friends that
COL Little consented to make the run.

WILSON IS PLEASED
Ar PROGRESS MADE

Washington, D. c., May 17.-Presi-
dent Wilson, talking with congress
sional callers today indicated his graf
ification at the progress being made
on legislation supported by the ad-
ministration, and expressed hope that
Congress would be able to adjourn
early in the summer. 1t is the hope
of the President to see most OF the
administrations programs completed
before the political conventions in
June.
Representative Earle Of Texas, told
the President, he thought Congress
would adjourn by the middle of July,
and some of the Presidents advisers
believe it will be possible to complete
the legislative program before that
time. Senator Kern, majority leader
of the Senate, however, has said ad-
journment may not come before Au-
gust 18th, anu Speaker Clarke, thinks
it hardly will be practical to get away
then.

SToREKEEPER AND COOK
RESCUED FROM BANDITS

San Francisco, May 17.-An early
withdrawal Of the punitive expedition,
directly by Col. Sibley, south of Bo-
quilles, was indicated at department
headquarters today. The rescue Of
Jesse Demeer, the storekeeper, and
Monroe Payne, the negro cook, who
were carried across the border by
bandits when they raided Glenn
Sprigs and Boquilles, IL days ago,
was reported today by Col. Sibley,

Major Langhorne. He reported that
he was endeavoring to overtake the
bandits who had eluded him at lei
Pine, from where he sent the report
and where he found Demeer and
Payne. ..., .~.-
Officers here regarded it as prob.
able that successful encounter with
the bandits would bring the expedl-
ton to an end and not at all improb-
able that failure to overtake them
would also be followed by a recall.

Demeer and Payne had been left at
Ell Pine by the retreating bandits,
with instructions to the residents
that they be killed if an attempt to
rescue was made. The residents Of
the village refused to obey the in
structions, protesting their friendli-
ness to the Americans when they en-
tered the town yesterday morning.

Premier Still Consulting Author

Investigations.
KNOW NOTHING DEFINITE
UNTIL HIS RETURN
Take No Steps Toward Filling
the Vacancies in the Irish
Administration.

London, May i7.--Until Premier
Asquith's return Sto,.ILondon at tho
end of the week, nothing definite is
likely to be done as the result of his
visit in Ireland. He is still consult
ing with various authorities and is
expected to visit Cork tomorrow,
where he will become acquainted
with the nationalists' view. In the
meantime no steps toward filling the
vacancies in the Irish administration
are being taken and it is supposed
that the main reason for the premi-
er's being sworn in, as a member OF
the Irish priyy council is that he may
become the minister in parliament
for Irish affairs temporarily.
The nationalist members attach
the greatest Significance to this step,
because it will give the premier an
actual voice in shaping the admin
istration of Ireland.
The London papers TEEN with sug.
gestions Of a possible settlement OF
the Irish problem They favor for
the most part the idea Of supplant-
ing the executive government in
south and west Ireland. They point
out that should experience show sue
cessful results in the western and
southern part Of ireland under the

inclined to come in under that parlia.

Premier Asquith was. sworn in as
q mem Bar of the asssh 4Priyy CoIncil
|tthis afternoon. THIS is the first. Time
that an English Premier has been a
Minister of this body. 1t means that
Mr. Asquith is likely to take great

of Ireland than any Of his predeces'
sors have done, and that he will take
direct part in shaping the policy
to be pursued in the immediate fu
ture.
. Reaches Conclusion.
Premier Asquith has reached the
conclusion from impression gathered
from his visit that the old form OF
government in Ireland has had its
day. The Associated Press learns
from sources in closest touch with
the Premier that Asquith's converse
tions and conferences have convinced
him that the future government must
be conducted in an entirely different
system.

TAT 7 APPEARS ?.
. BEFORE LEAGUE
Former President Missionary Be-
fore International Arbitra-
ton Conference.

Lake Mohonk, NY, May 17.--Wil.
liam Howard Taft: appeared before
the Lake Mohonk conference on In
ternational Arbitration tonight as a
missionary Of the League to Enforce
Peace. In taking his place as pre-
siding officer here, Mr.. Taft answered
the pacifists who objected to the new
League because it presupposes the
use of force. He5replied also to crit
les of the League who believe it would
draw the United States into "entang-
ling alliances"
II do not think we have reached a
!ime," said Mr.. Taft, when force as
an aid to a moral impulse can be dis
pensed with. We need police force
at home, and the same need exists
in the relations between nations.
"As regards the fear of entangling
alliances, our situation now is very
different from what it was when
washington gave his warning"
Draws Contrasts.
He enumerated the developments
which have brought the United States
into inevitable contrast with foreign
powers. Speaking of the Philippines,
he declared: Il cannot tell you what
l think of our present Philippine pol
icy in the presence of ladies'" Mex
leo, he characterized as an "interna-
tional nuisance likely to entail great
er burdens upon u.s."
The opportunity to carry out the
Of the League to Enforce
Peace Mr.. Taft said is growing more
and more probable.

indianapolis, Ind, May 1.-THE
43rd annual session Of the National
Convention on Charities and Correc-
ties closed tonight, after seven days
of sectional meetings and sessions.
Frederick Almy of Buffalo, N. Y,
the newly elected president. in a
speech said that he believed than
good will come through a frightful
cost in the European war.
"The waste Of this war will make
human life too valuable to be neg
lected like it has been,' he declared.
"It has been my belief that our pres
ent unnecessary poverty is nothing
less than reproach to religion, and
thanks in part to the religious toler-
ance which this conference illustrates
and the social knowledge which tAie
conference inspires and advocates,
the level of life will rise

Make Raids.

Columbus, Ga, May 17.-The state
militia tonight took charge of the sit
uation in Gerard, Ala, just across the
line from here, where a great force
of special deputies today contiscated
many thousands of dollars worth of
liquor, held in violation of the Ala
bama prohibition laws. The Opelika
militia company, numbering 10 men,
arrived at Gerard at 4:0O p. M, and
at once began patroling the place.
They were assisted by 100 special
deputies, sent here on special train
on orders of the state attorney gen

to carry the confiscated liquor to
some unnamed destination tomorrow.
Raids on places where liquor was sup
posed to be held were began tonight.

1t was estimated tonight that nealt
ly half-million dollars worth of IL
quor had been found.
Great crowds filled the streets of
Gerard, a town of 5000 people, this
afternoon and tonight. The crowds
interfered somewhat with the work
of the raiders, though there was no
serious disorder.
Mayor Morgan appointed large
number of special police to aid the
militiamen, and instructed them to
protect the property Of Gerard's citi-
zens. The special deputies were in
structed to arrest anyone interfering
with them. Three hundred barrels
of whisky were found in Lower Ger

timated to be worth $50,000 was seiz-
ed,

To CUT WEIGHT
IS BIC OBJECT
Engineers Say Weight Does
Not Give Steadiness
To An Auto.
BY Fl. II. RICE.

Sales Manager hOrdyke n MarmOn Co.
/ One Of the most interesting features
OF 1916 cars is the results which have
been obtained by the various manu-
facturers in attempting to decrease
weight by new methods. Ism the past
there has been considerable work done
in trying to decrease weight, but il
has mainly been along the lines Of
cutting down the size of the car and
reducing the engine to smaller dimen-
sions This year, however. the fol-
lowers of the automobile business will
see the result of efforts TO cut down
weight by scientific methods, by using
aluminium in place of heavier metals
and by a distribution of parts that
cuts down the weight Of certain units
considerably but does not sacrifice
strength.
The net result Of the work done by
the Marmou engineers in eliminating
weight by scientific means is by the
elimination Of approximately 100
pounds weight as the new seven
passenger model weighs only $40
pounds when fully equipped ready for
the road with the gasoline, water and
oil compartments filled. It must be
considered that the new MarmOn car
is a high grade, high powered car
since the wheel base is 1876 inches and
the motor develops "a horsepower at
a speed Of 2450 revolutions per minute
in the block test.
1t is a safe statement that the car
owner can look to aluminium as an i'm
Dortant factor in the future in the saw
ing OF weight, which means. Of course,
ease Of handling. low fuel consumption.
rapid acceleration, longer life on tires,
springs and other parts.
Another feature in the development
OF light weight cars which is receiving
great thought today is the relation Of
inspiring weight or the weight
below the axles, to the weight
above the axles. It is now a gen
orally admitted fact among the en-
gineers who have had considerable op-
portunity to experiment that good road
handling and the ease of riding are not
so much a matter of weight as the re-
lation between the weight above the
springs and the weight below the
springs, as wei las longitudal balance
or the balance fore and aft OF the car.
IN other words the erroneous idea that
heavy weight car makes an easy
riding car is rapidly disappearing. In
its relation TO ease of riding, weight
does not occupy the place ballast does
to a ship. 1t has no mysterious steady
ing effects. The matter is much
broader and deeper than adding a few
pounds Of weight You can easily de-
termine this by noting that racing
cars which are made as light as pos
sible TO attain the highest speed and
quickest acceleration are usually good
handling and good riding cars but don't
forget they are perfectly balanced
and the factors involved have been
carefully gone into.
