that John M. Baer. sometime demo-

Differs From Wilson.


President Wilson has already
enunciated the aims of the United
States in the war and has declared in
favor Of such annexations, as will
guarantee future peace, of the world,
and such indemnities as will permit
the nations wantonly attacked by Ger
many to repair the losses caused by
the war.
A number Of socialist meetings, both
in Germany. and the United States.
have however declared in favor of
peace terms similar to those advocat-
ed by Mr.. Lemke's committee.
Mr.. Lemke declares that If any cam
didate is to be known as representing
the republican party. it must be Mr..
Baer. and declares that the fight will
be carried to the supreme court If
necessary to bring this about.
Baer Democrat.
The exquisite humor of this feature
Of the situation is apparent when it
ts considered that Mr.. Baer has al
ways been known as democrat. and
has frequently boasted Of his affilia-
tion with that party.
Before he entered the Nonpartisan
fold, Mr.. Baer was postmaster at
Beach, being appointed to the posi-
ton by President Wilson.
When asked this morning as to his
views on the subject, o. B. Burtness
the regularly nominated republican
candidate declared his conviction that
the action Of the Lemke committee
was without legal standing.

The numbers will be forwarded to

The question of exemption will

place and so on.
In this way all those available for

gree murder in connection with the
death of his wife, Alice McQuillan
Dunn said that Dunn told him he
wanted his wife put out Of the way.
and that at one time he. Dunn, had
attempted to accomplish her death by
flooding the house with gas, but that
his wife awoke before he succeeded
in liberating enough gas.
Ferdig related in the tale the early
plot for the killing of Mrs Dunn
which he said was outlined to him
by Dunn in Montana in 1915. He
said he allowed Dunn to believe that
he would carry out the plans for the
purpose Of obtaining money from him
but declared that he never had any
intention of killing the woman. The
plot for the murder Of Mrs. Dunn as
related by Ferdig was almost identi-
cal with the act Of the Redenbaugh

the woman.
Dunn, however. when dealing with
Ferdig and AL Brown did not use a
"go-between" but laid the plan before
the men himself when he visited them
