soldiers was an institution for
which it would be worth their

Not far from $4,000 has been
expended by the Y. M. c. A. in
Camp Meade just simply to help
the boys in ways which they
would enjoy. The association
asks nothing in return, but if
the work has been one that the

Nonpartsan League Present Frank Hyland Pre-
Sides SpaIding, Divet and Bangs Speak.
(By n. d. Paulson.>

Grand Forks, N. D., April 11.-An
organization to oppose the "socialistic
program" as they term it, of the Nom
partisan league, will be perfected in
Grand Forks this afternoon, as the re-
suit of q conference being attended by
about $50 residents of the state.
The adoption of declaration of
ganization are expected to be COM
pleted before adjournment Of this aft
ernoon's session.
The whole purpose Of the organiza-
tion will be to combat, as explained by
the speakers at both the morning and
afternoon sessions. the program pro-
posed by the Nonpartisan league lead
ers, which several who addressed the
conference maintained was "socialistic
to it's core"
Today's conference, presided over by
Senator Frank Hyland of Devils Lake,
was called by an executive committee
representative of the non-league men,
bers Of the last state legislature. Hy-
land explained briefly the steps that
had been taken at Bismarck, when the
non-league members organized to con-
tinue opposition to the leagues pro-
gram, but proposing that responsibility
for the continuance Of such opposi-
tion must be taken up by citizens gen.
orally.
Judge Burleigh F. Spalding of Fargo,
"A. G.. Divet Of Fargo, and Tracy Bangs
Of Grand Forks spoke at the morning
session. Divet devoting much of his
address to clearing the atmosphere as
relates to the doctrine of the Nonpar-
stisan league leaders as set forth in
their proposed new state constitution,

assumed by Albert Bowen. chief clerk

the purpose OF obtaining first hand

being brought into being here today to

ference, explained briefly the steps

HUEY
GOES AS
A FLYER
Fargo Boy Accepted as Avi.
ator for Uncle Sans
Service.

Lynn Huey. a student at the North
Dakota Agricultural college has been
accepted as a member of the United
States aviation corps. Mr.. Huey was
called to st. Paul to take an examina-
tion. After he arrived there he was
informed that the necessary number of
applicants had been secured and that
for the time being no more would be
accepted for the aviation service.
However. another officer arrived in
st. Paul and after getting a glimpse
of Mr.. Huey's splendid physical pre-
paredness and learning of his qualifi-
cations. he ordered the Fargo boy ac-
cepted. SAYING such men were needed
in the aviation service no matter how
hany had been previously accepted.
Mr.. Huey will leave the twin cities
at once for Pensacola. Fla. where he
win attend the national aviation
school.

to the Nonpartisan program had, at
times, trembled with fear for the well
fare of the state as they were called
upon to deal with issues that were
raised. ~
That the. time for fighting has not
passed but that there was need for
maintaining the opposition to the pro-
gram that was proposed, was Mr.. Hy-
lands opinion.
SpaIding UphoIds Constitution.
Judge Spalding, a member Of the
constitutional convention. dealt with
various phases Of that convention. He
explained briefly the attitude Of the
opposition factions in convention, and
how the present safeguard. was thrown
around the school funds, how pro-
visions were made against the fornla-
ton Of trusts, how provisions were
made against the watering Of stocks
OF corporations, etc., measures, he said,
which were far ahead of the times.
Attempts at removing these safe
guards at this time. he said, were d.
rect attempts to take from the people
their rights, guaranteed to them by the
fundamental law Of the common
wealth. That the constitution stood as
a guarantee to both the majority and
minority against an infringement on
the peoples rights by irresponsible
legislatures and by corporations, was
Spalding'S declaration OF the real pur-
poses of a constitution and that at
tempts at destroying them were aimed
at the very framework on which the
government is built,
To do away with the safeguards
against the frittering away aat school
funds, OF abolishfng san suards
against trusts, OF abolishfng safe
guards against the establishment OF
fictitious corporations. all of which, he
said, had become evident recently,
would be to turn back the hands OF
time a hundred years.
Mr.. Divet gave a brief review OF
certain features Of the recent legis-
lative assembly to bear out the con-
tention that certain of the Nonpartisan
leaders are Socialists and the whole
ambition of these leaders is to fasten
upon North Dakota a Socialist scheme
of government. That the people. when
they fully understand the real objects
Of the league leaders, will turn from
the program. was certain. said Mr..
Divet. the whole problem being to give
