into the Democratic Achievement
banquet at the Fargo auditorium last
evening when /. J. Dunn Of Nebraska,
the principal speaker of the evening,
opened up an attack on the prepared
ness propaganda. The remarks Of the
speaker called forth an interruption
from United States Marshal Doyle,
who took exception to some of Mr..
Dunn's statements and asked If the
speaker did not think he was overstep-

''Why this violent attack on Will

that we need preparedness for de-
fense?" was one question Mr.. Doyle
asked. we.. ..r
Mr.. Dunn replied that he was en-
tirely within his rights, as he had
notified the committee before coming
to Fargo as to what the nature of his
speech would be. He stated further
that he did not allow any man to do
his thinking for him and he was not
going to let any man do his speaking
for him.
The first part of Mr.. Dunn's speech
was in perfect harmony with the adj
dresses of the other speakers on the
program, Senator Purcell. j. 7. +. o.

Mr.. Dunn made a particularly able
defense of the presidents Mexican
policy. of the administrations foreign
policy and Of the tariff law, the bank
ing law, and other constructive
measures that have been put into force
under democratic rule. He had talked
for about an hour on these subjects
when he suddenly launched into the
preparedness part of his speech.
He stated that he believed in pre-

such as has been proposed. He took

Enough Votes to Pass
Literacy Test Over
the Presidents S Veto

Asiatic exclusion measure would be
without many of the features to which
the state department objects, but
would require both Chinese and
Japanese to register upon entering the
United States. The present gentle
mems agreement with Japan regard
ing the entrance Of laborers, would not
be disturbed.
Such legislation. Mr.. Burnett
declares, would eliminate among other
things the japanese picture bride"
practice which he says is growing
evil. .r .
The picture BRIDE is a woman who
pretends to marry by proxy in Japan
and then comes to the United States
or it's territories to meet her "hus-
band" whom frequently she never has
seen. These couples seldom marry,
according TO the chairman. but usual
ly part soon after the woman is safely
landed, never to meet again. Statis-
tics filed with the committee show that
1000 picture brides" entered Hawaii
last year and 1900 came to the United
States.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The perennial
immigration bill fight. with all its old
features and some new ones that may
complicate the international situation,
is imminent in the house.
Friends of the literacy test measure,
which probably will be brought on the
floor late this week. boasted yester-
day that they had enough votes to
pass it over another veto by the presi-
dent. which is confidently expected II
the bill reaches him. Supporters OF
the Asiatic exclusion bills are making
determined effort to have one of
them reported, despite the purpose of
the state department to prevent con-
sideration of any such legislation this
season. Chairman Burnett of the
immigration committee, said yesterday
he expected one of these measures
would be reported next week. He
hopes that either his bill or that of
Representative Raker Of California,
can be amended so as to cause the
state department to withdraw opposi-
ton. 81.

Senator Purcell Interrupts.

that seemed to reflect on Wilson's pre-

who was on the platform, interrupted
to ask If the president did not believe
for aggression.
The speaker paused to take drink

'T don't know" he replied.

Mr.. Dunn remarked, turning to the
audience.
