AT present the cities of Fargo and
Grand Forks receive the state fair in
alternate years. Representative
'O'Connor, of Grand Forks, and Sena-
tor Stenmo, Of the same county, are
not bowling to the dictation of the
league, and the Grand Forks Herald
has never hesitated to speak it's views.
ION the other hand, Representative
Cole, of Fargo, owner of couple of
the big Fargo hotels, although not
elected by the league, has thrown in
with them. Now, the league has in
troduced measure t. cut out Grand
Forks and to give Fargo the perma-
ncnt fair. Thus do the Grand Forks
people get theirs, despite one of them,
Stenmo, was league man until he
found how things were being run in
Bismarck. And thus does Cole see
prospects Of crowded hotels during
state fair week every yea- instead of
every other year as 1T present. OF
course, in the old days, this would be
political wirc-pul'ing. Now, it is just
the league way OF dong things.
Representative Cole, in his address
supporting H. B. a., prefaced his re-
mari:s by stating that he was proud
to number among his personal friends,
Alex. Mckenzie, C. B. Little. Jud
LaMoure and others of the old-time
political warehouses;.
We wondered at the time if there
wasn't danger that the league might
amend their state fair bill by giving
Fargo the fair all right, but making it
illegal for members to stop at Coles
hotels. Certainly they don't want
anything to do with confessed friend
of Mckenzie. Little and Jud LaMourc.

Public Opinion, recently purchased
by the Non-Partisan League interests,
quotes from the Towrley speech in
Fargo:
we are either going to get per-
mission through a new constitution
TO build those necessary institutions
or else we are going to send some of
those opposing US down to do that
work in the penitentiary
If there has been any doubt about
who is running things in Bismarck,
that ought to help to explain. Town
ley isn't satisfied with debating to a
majority of the house. If he can't
control the senate, too, he proposes
by some manner Of means or other to
send those opposing him to the pen.
itentiary.
Sometimes there is no limit to high.
handedness. This seems to be one OF
those times.
Our guess is that Townley cannot
intimidate the senate nor can he put
them in the penitentiary, either.

PIONEER LAID TO REST
Daniel X. Williams Dies Of Heart
Disease At Home Of His
Brother

Daniel r. Williams one of the earli-
est Of Burleigh county's pioneers,
passed away very suddenly on Monday
afternoon at the home of his brother,
Gen. E. "A. Williams, on Seventh
street, death being due to heart failure.
While his health during the past year
had not been of the best, yet it was
not such as to give any indication that
the end was so near.
Daniel X. Williams was born in
Mystic, Conn, on May 10, 1886, and
came with his parents to Werner, Wis,
in 1861. where they resided for about
u year, later removing to Freeport, Ill.
In 1869, deciding to strike out for him
self, he left home, and came to Yank-
ton, then Dakota Territory.
Gold having been discovered in the
Black Hills, he joined party of Bis
marck people and left for South Dako-
tn, settling mt the point where Rapid
City is now located. Spending about
two years in that vicinity in an unsuc-
ccssful quest for gold, he returned to
his former home in Illinois, and three
years later he again came out to North
Dakota and settled at what was for
merly Williamsport, Emmons county.
Being one of the organizers of EN-
mons coutny, he was appointed regis
ter Of deeds when that county was or
ganized
In 1883 the territorial Legislature cs-
tablished the penitentiary at Bismarck,
and Mr.. Williams was chosen by the
board of directors as the first warden.
He had charge of the building of the
institution and served in the capacity
of warden for about eight years, when
he was succeeded by Clark Haggart.
1t was while serving in this position
that he met and married Mrs. Ruth
Gibbs at Williamsport, in 1886
At the conclusion Of his term as
warden of the pcnitentiary, Mr.. and
Mrs. Williams removed to Chicago
where he engaged in the real estate
business. He had lived on the frontier
too long, however, to be satisfied with
the settled life of Chicago, and four
years later he returned to North Dako-
tn and established a cattle ranch on
Brush Lake, in Mclean county.

Friday night we had occasion to
hear an interesting discussion be-
tween Judge Robinson, of the state
supreme court, and one lotion. an or
ganiZer for the Non-Partisan League
and brother of one Of Frazier's re-
cent board of regents appointees.
Robinson held that the league was at
tempting an unlawful procedure in the
way they were trying to dynamite the
state constitution. Totten held that
the vote for Frazier indicated that a
majority Of the people wanted H. E.
IA, although he didn't explain just
how the connection became apparent.
Robinson contended that the people
had u right to govern themselves, but
that each Individual didn't have a
right to govern himself in his own
way. For that reason, held the Judge,
certain prescribed methods are pre-
scribed by the people and their repre-

properly followed to allow a change,
no power on Garth has right to do
differently For that reason he held
That so long as any taxpayer in the
state objected to the illegal method OF
changing the constitution, the supreme
court would not allow it 10 be done
and that the action of the supreme
court was supreme and final; that
they had been placed there for just
that purpose. Totten finally tolt
Judge Robinson that he couldn't see
his point of view. Robinson uuickl;
responded, "Of course you don't; yor
haven't sufficient understanding
What you need is about three years ir
the university. And thus the dis
cussion ended. The debate had at
tracted perhaps more than hundred
persons.

Sidney Smit;, is the only one of our
delegation in the house who does not
owe his position to the league, and he
lis not the lease backward in showing
his hand. He says the people of EN-
mons and Kidder can kick him out
whenever they are not satisfied with
him, but that he is:ft taking his order
from any of the Great High Priests
of the League ring. He has been in
formed by Bowen, league organizer
and chief clerk of the house, that any
bill he desires to introduce should be
brought before the leagues evening
caucus at the Northwest, or else that
it will die the death of rag baby.
1t seems the league proposes to reject
all proportions not satisfactory and
to itself take charge of any PROPOSE
ii ms agreeable.

hind them u the league sosses, there

hind them Of the league bosses, there
was never any doubt abost the result.
Tho opponsnts Of the bill wanted,
however, to state their case and to
have It 20 into the journal Of the house
so that it could be referred to at any
future date, should it BE necessary.
This favor was more than the league
members would stand for. Every cf-
fort, and several efforts were made, to
get the speeches into the journal were
voted down by practically the entire
league strength. Finally, the oppon-
cnts of the bill hired two stenograph-
ers to take the speeches. Near the
close of the debate, one league men,
Der read a dissertation setting forth
the league claims. The league men,
ners then proposed Incorporating it in
the journal. The other side protest
cd that their side should be included,
too. Rather than give them the
privilege, the league finally decided to
withdraw the motion to put it's disser-
tation in the journal. They evidently
decided that any other move would be
even toe. raw for them to stand for.
Representative Divct. a former
member of the house, who was elected
last fall over league man, made the
strongest speech of the session in OPP
position to the bill. He referred to
the prediction statements of Lynn
j. Frazier, and then compared those
statements with the speech he made
before the house and senate support
ing House Bill ID. Diyct then called
upon Frazier to explain why his
change of position, and asked him
point-blank whether or not the
chang, was due to the clash of boss
across his back"
