The Secret of Success.

There are many people who would
pay large sums of money for a
formula which would accurately out
line the secret of success, but what
might mean success for you might not
point the way to success for some one
else. We are many people Of many
minds. I once knew a young man
who was really very brilliant. There
seemed to be nothing that he could
not do and do we'll. While still quite
boy he informed me that he had
decided to be a merchant because he
saw. great opportunities for worthy
service in large business of that
kind. A month later he had entire
ly forgotten his decision and was
convinced that law was the open door
which he must enter

ference between people who merely

Democrats to Ignore Con-
gressional Situation
at Present

On the eve OF the meeting OF the
state central committee of the Demo-
cratic party for the purpose Of nam-
ing new chairman to succeed Fred
Mclean, resigned, a new candidate
for the Craftsmanship has been brought
forward in the person Of w. e.. Byerly
of Ve1va.
Mclean, formerly in the real estate
business here, resigned his post some
time ago because he was made regis
trar OF the st. Paul federal land bank.
Porterfield Withdraws.
W. p. Porterfield of Fargo. former
state senator and considered a candi-
date for the honor by prominent
Democrats of Fargo, has written the
committee that he will not accept
under any circumstances" This
leaves the field open to e. II. Stenvick,
former postmaster at Minot; Edward
Cole, member Of the Fifteenth legis-
latiYe assembly, and w. e. Byerly Of
Velva. The name Of Representative
Cole in connection with the seat was
mentioned the latter part of last week.
The meeting in all probability will be
held in the Gardner hotel and will be
called at 10 o'clock.
Ignore Congressional Problem.
Today, prominent Democrats already
in Fargo for the meeting let 1t be
known that they favored ignoring the
congressional issue in the First dis
trict at the present time.
Democrats are hopeful of electing a
man in this district to succeed the late
III. T. Helgesen, and their hopes lie
upon the possibility of an open split
between the Republicans and the Re-
publican -Nonpartisan forces.
Despite everything that has been
said to the contrary from authoritative
sources within the Nonpartisan league,
to the effect that the Nonpartisans
would not mix up in the congressional
situation, 1t is becoming more evident
daily that they are giving very deep
consideration to the issue, and are not
going to let 1t go by default.
May Delay Election Call.
Up to the present time, Governor
Lynn Frazier has refused to issue a
call for the special election, declaring
there is no haste In political circles
in the Red river valley his attitude Is
interpreted as being in the nature of
a delay until such time as the Nom
partisan forces will fully determine on
their programs
So far as the Democrats are con-
cerned. no action on the congressional
Issue IS alelg - tte Eszs.yo meeting
tomorrow. They win awair the Repub-
lican convention outcome at Grand
Forks June 20, and will frame their
action in accordance with the condi-
tions that may then develop.
Numerous Democratic leaders in
this section firmly believe in the con-
vention system Of nomination, adopted
by the Republicans, and which has, UP
to the present time, been challenged
by the governor and his advisers.

While the dispute which has twice

a national railroad strike was settled
officially in March when the railroads
granted the eight-hour day on the eve
of the supreme court decision uphold
ing the Adamson law, there remained
many points of difference over the adj
ministration of the law. The railroads
contended that some concessions
granted under the old ten-hout day
should be surrendered on an eight-hour
schedule which gave the men $50, 900, :
900 more wages a year. This was OPP
posed by the union as a general propo-
sition.

Target Practice
fBy Assooiated Press.l )

New York, May 21.-Edith Ayers
and Helen Burnett Woods Of Chicago,
nurses in an ambulance unit on its
way for service in France, were killed
yesterday on board an American
steamer, when pieces of shell fired by
naval gunners in practice. ricocheted
from the waters surface and scattered
among a group of doctors and nurses.
A third nurse was seriously injured.
The steamer sailed Saturday evening
for Europe. With her flag at half
mast she came into an American port
today bringing the bodies of the dead
nurses. She will depart at an unan-
nounced time.
An explanation made by one Of the
ships officers was that, when shell
struck the water about IT'S feet from
the vessel, the centrifugal force caused
bits of the steel to fly back on ship
board. One of the ships officers who
was standing beside the nurses was
uninjured.
