$50, 900 worth of ball players are after
more and have made propositions to
the Chicago Cubs for a batch Of sur
plus talent. Since it is evident the

these come from North Dakota, Min
nesota and South Dakota, every state
in the west and middle west was rep
resented by the terrific influx that
started today. Some registrations
from the Pacific coast states were
made today.
One of the leading events of the
convention is the dedication of $5,-
100000 grain elevator on the upper
levee of the Mississippi river tomor-
row. This elevator marks the Gull
mination of North Dakotas bitter
fight which merged into political
battle at which farmers won. Ugly
charges against the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce was hurled
during the fight. This elevator is
designed to compete with the Mime
apolis concern and speculative mar
keting.
Two resolutions were placed before
the convention Immediately upon it's

agriculture, will conduct the dedi-
cation services.

SUFFRAGE ARMY READY
FOR ITS BIG DRIVE
ON CONGRESS TODAY
(By United PresS)

Washington, Dec. 5.-The front
line of the army of woman suffrage
formed here today for the "big
push" on congress to force through
the Susan B. Anthony amendment at
this short session.
The initial move of the campaign
depends largely upon whether the at
titude of President Wilson which
leaves toward state instead of fed
eral action has at all changed. Some
suffrage workers believe it has, that
it may be passed on promptly to the
states for ratification.
