N0NP ARTISANS MAKE
URGENT DEMAND FOR
new ORGANIZATION

Petitions circulated in Bismarck
this week by Nonpartisan league
members of the legislature, addressed
to the league officers, demanding a
new basis of organization.
The petitions ask that a delegate
convention be called for the purpose
of adopting constitution and by
laws, the election of officers and the
placing Of the league on a thorough
going business organization. The pc
titions recite the fact that fully forty
|thousand farmers are interested in the
league, which, the petitions allege, < is
now without representative govern
|ment."
Members of the league who have
signed the petitions maintain that
"league members who have paid for
their memberships and who are maxi
ing the league possible, are entitled to
a voice in It's affairs"
In laying down the method for the
proposed reorganization, legislators
who have joined to bring about q new
era within the Nonpartisan league,
are adopting a principle they long
have discussed. Ever since the legis-
lature met there has been more or
less dissatisfaction with the present
method of the leagues organization,
under which members have been given
no voice in the affairs of administra-
tion.f *
"A system Of conventions within
each county, where delegates would be
elected to a general state convention,
is the method suggested for, reorgan-
iZing the Nonpartisan league.
The petitioners maintain they are
entitled to know to what uses such
membership fees are being put as
well as having a greater voice in the
future. policies of the organization.
In the Nonpartisan caucus Monday
President A. G. Townley gave a long
address, appealing to the members
to "stand together" for the future
welfare Of the Nonpartisan league.
Townley detailed the features Of his
recent extended tour over the state
telling the Legislators the Nonpartisan
enthusiasm was as strong as ever.

BIG AMOUNT j TO BE
EXPENDED FOR new
CITY IMPROVEMENTS

Mayor ALI. White announced this
week that several thousands Of dollars
will be spent the coming summer for
the extension Of water mains and sew
:ers. The city is growing with such
,rapidity that it is almost impossible
for the city authorities to keep up
with the rapid elopment by provid-
ing necessary water and sewage fa-
cilities. Both the north and south
sides of the city are in need Of water
extensions and this want will be sup
piled as rapidly as the work can be
gotten under way. @53 q. 4-f B; 81.
White Way electric light clusters
will undoubtedly be installed in the
residence portions Of the city on Sims
street and on First and Second Ave

parking curbs and cutters will be
built at the same time, greatly e1l-
HANGING the already splendid appear
'ance Of these. streets.

Mass Meeting of Interested Farmers
10 Be Called For Thorough Dis
cussiOn of Proposition.

The Farmers Cooperative Union
Elevator Co. is backing a move for
the building Of a mammoth potato
warehouse on the railway right-of-
way, just east. of the elevator, the
coming summer. w. j. Motley, Sec
retary and manager of the company,
announces that a meeting of all inter
ested will be called early next month
to arrange for the planting Of a suf-
ficient acreage Of potatoes to make
the move profitable. He states that
at least 500 to 1000 acres should be
planted this summer to guarantee the
success of the project.
Potato growing has become one of
the Leading industries in many COM
munities in the eastern part Of the
state, and prosperity has gone hand
in hand with the enterprise. The soil
and climate Of the Missouri Slope are
splendidly adapted to the growing of
spuds and all that is needed for the
engaging in this profitable side-line
to farming, is the providing of suit
able warehouse.
Notice of the proposed meeting will
be given in the Press as soon as the
date is definitely settled upon.

FORMER TAYLOR man
KILLS SELF LAST
WEEK in MONTANA

2s$ s,s P. F. Kelly, former harness maker
at Taylor, and well known in Dickin-
son and the Missouri Slope as a
Modern Woodman organizer, ended
his life by suicide at Forsyth, Mont,
on Friday of last week. No reason
for his desperate, deed is known, but
it is believed that family troubles had
something to do with it. 5s
Kelly and his wife left Taylor in
June, 1914, shortly after his harness
shop at that place was destroyed by
fire. At that time both were active
in, Woodman lodge circles, he being
organizer for the Woodmen and his
wife for the Royal Neighbors, the
women's auxiliary, It is alleged that
Mrs. Kelly later left her husband and
is now residing in Massachusetts,. AS
there are no children, she will un-
doubtedly claim the insurance carried
by the deceased.

Another County
Seat Fight Sure
For Dunn COu1,tY

Another county seat fight will be
scheduled for Dunn county again at
the next election, as result Of the
passing Of Senate Bill No. 81 by both
branches of the state legislature.
This bill, which will become a law
with the governors signature, pro-
vides for elections for the removal of
county seats from inland towns to
towns on railroads, and was intro
duced with the purpose in view of re-
moving the seat Of the Dunn county
government from Manning to one, Of
the north branch towns.
Upon the provisions Of this bill, a
primary election must be held in
which all but two candidate towns
will be eliminated from the race. The
two towns polling the highest num-
ber of votes in the primaries will be
candidates against each other at the
fall election when final decision will
be made, and the county seat placed
at the point receiving the largest
number Of votes.
Under the old law two-thirds ma
jority was required, and with three or
more contending towns in the race,
it was almost an impossibility for any
one to get two-thirds majority.
The result of the removal election
last fall was as follows: Dunn
Center, 801; Manning 538; Killdeer,
331. AS a result Manning retained
the coveted position, and under the
old law would be likely to do so for
a number of years to come. The new
law, however, will make decided diff
ference, and the next county seat re-
moyal fracas promises to be a red hot
one. ,,.

New Prohibition Laws Will
MakeNorth Dakota Bone Dry

into any prohibition state. This bill
originated in the u. IS. Senate and
was ratified by the House Of Repre-
sentatives by the one-sided vote of
321 to 72. This is counted as the
most far reaching prohibition meas
ure ever passed as it will make abso-
lutely dry, states which now permit
in limited quantities for
personal use.
Ss As result Of the above laws it will
soon be an impo possibility for anyone to
ship intoxicating liquors into North
Dakota. The state will be "bone dry"
