THE Significance of War Influences

But far transcending in Importance any
debate about the primaries themselves Is
speculation upon the part played by war
in this particular primary, according to
most Of the commentators, which further
more looms up as the principal factor in
the actual campaign which will be decided
at the polls in November. The Fusion
Committee In charge Of Mr.. Mitchel's In
terests adopted platform which joins the
issue squarely in its opening clauses:
"The municipal election of 1917 occurs dur
ing national crisis to which all other con-
Germs, public and private, are necessarily sub
ordinate.
Our country is at war with Germany.
Every conception Of justice and liberty for
which our forefathers fought and which
brought our foregn-borp citizens to our
shores is at issue in the struggle.

Mr.. Vandcrlip's Appointment
lNl Pleases the Press

The appointment Of Frank A. Wander
lip. of New York City, as chairman OF
the War Savings Certificate Committee
is viewed favorably by the press. The
DAYTON Journal" for example, while dis
appointed at the Presidents unwillngness
to consent to coalition cabinet for the
period of the war, nevertheless considers
Mr.. Vanderlp's accession "a step IN that
direction that will go far toward strength
ening public confidence in the govern
nent's stupendous financial undertakings,
particularly the fotation of enormous war
bond issues. :" And this paper adds:
"Mr Vanderlp, In fact, will have active
control Of the fotation Of future Liberty
Loan bond issues. That Is the work that ne
has been summoned 20 Washington to per-
form. and to serve his government he is
relinduishing absolutely all of his personal

us THE PRIMARY election law fail
ure? and, Is the war the chief issue
in the New York municipal cleo
tions?-these are two questions which in
cvitably arise from an examination Of the
editorial comment on the recent Republican
primary elections in the Empire City.
Mayor Mitchel's announcement that he
will run, in spite of his defeat in the pri-
maries by w. NJ. Bennett, and that he twill

instance, the belief giving rise to this in

"That law Is based upon the assumption
that the members Of party can be induced
to take enough interest In a primary election

The Facts in the Casa
i Matter of Votes

The facts are, stated in the press, that
only $4,000 voters appeared at the Repub-
lean primaries, whereas 81 900 voted for
Mr.. Hughes in the last Presidential pri-
mares, and it is fair assumption that the
voting strength Of the party has increased
appreciably since 1916. Mr.. Bennett re-
ceived a majority of GIL votes on the re-
count
That the ballot reformers, in their
zeal against partisanship, have NOTABLY
succeeded in boosting partisanship" is the
moral drawn by THE New York Times"
which thinks that even Sir Isaac Newton
would have had difficulty in filling out his
ballot according 'to the rigor of the game"
THE Boston Transcript" regards the
result as "a highly unfavorable comment
on the primary system" for it is scarcely
to be believed that a Republican party
convention would deliberately range itself
on the side Of crime and corruption by
nominating a candidate for the purpose OF
defeating the present reform administra-
ton"
And "The New York Globe" points out
that Bennett has received only 10000
votes, or about 10 per cent of the Repub-
lican total, whereas a poll Of that party's
entire voting strength would give Mr..
Mitchell majority of four or FIVE to one.

THE GARRICK

The Garrick has secured George NJ.
Cohan's first photo play, to be releas-
ed by AIRCRAFT pictures. Broadway
Jones.
Ever since the early days of the
motion picture, George NJ. Conan has
been approached by various big mo-
ton picture interests with fiattering
offers but it was not until 81 few
months ago that he finally decided to
branch out into this field. At the head
of his own company he commenced
activities in the motion picture art
with the same enthusiasm and energy
that has marked his great success in
theatricals. Selecting Broadway Jones,
conceded to be bis biggest stage hit
and which was written and produced
by himself, he makes his bow as a
screen star and that the film version
of this play will score even a greater
success than the original play is free
ly predicted.
Few American writers for the stage
have caught the real spirit of what the
people want better than Mr.. Conan and
Broadway Jones is particularly a
happy choice as his initial screen
vehicle. The subject gives him an OPP
portunity to shine in the very kind of
thing he can do better, perhaps, than
anyone else of today namely to
present a swiftly moving, interesting
and dramatic story about topic uni
versalIy known. Knowing his own
talents better than any other, he has
given himself vehicle in Broadway
Jones, which allows his characteristic
touches, so well known throughout the
country, ample play. The famous
Yankee Doodle Boys initial proto-
play will be shown at the Garrick
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday OF
next week.

PLAN SCHOOL TO
HOUSE 1900 ON
CENTRAL SITE
Ittner Outlines Proposal
That Will Give Fargo
Splendid Facilities

A combination high school and
grade school that will answer Fargo's
demands Is to 20 years, SO construct
ed that it ultimately will be capable
OF housing approximately 1900 high
school students, is the proposal of w.
b. Ittner, st. Louis, architect engaged
by the Fargo board of education to
plan the city's new high school.
Under the preliminary plan of ac-
ton proposed by Mr.. Ittner, which
plan, however, is subject to change,
the construction Of a school on the
Central site that would care for the
high school and grade school require
ments of the city over many years. is
contemplated. ~
Ultimately, as the high school de-
mand grows, the grades would be re-
moved from the building, and the con-
struction of a new school would be
necessary. But, as indicated by Mr..
Ittner, that is problem that is at
least 10 to Is years Off, providing the
city's future growth continues on the
same basis as in the past.
Mr.. Ittner has indicated to the
board of education his proposal to
plan building that will make possible
the housing of the high school and
grade school in a most efficient man
ner. The building would be so ar
ranged that. as the high school de-
mand grows, the space given over to
grade schools could be given over to
the high school, said John Frame,
member of the school board, today.
The Central site is entirely ade-
quate for the structure that Mr. Ittner
proposes. He now contemplates a plan
that will give the city housing ca
pacity for 1900 high school students
and that will take care of Fargo's
needs for great many years,
"All Of Mr.. timers suggestions it
must be borne in mind, are purely pre-
final plan Of action will be determined
only when the survey of the city's
school needs is completed, and the
architect and the board are thoroughly
familiar with the city's present re-
quirements, and its anticipated re-
uIIirements ~

The Elks' attack will be led by
Fearless Left Henning, captain, who

weeks. That they are in hitting trim,

saying.
The travellers will go to their slaugh-
ter led by Captain Pete Tierney, who
hasn't been saying very much, being
acquainted in vague way as to what
his warriors are up against.
Big Crowd Expected.
That the largest crowd that ever
witnessed similar slaughter in the
state will see the game, is the predic-
ton of promoters of the game. Tick
cts have been sold in nearly every city
OF the state, assuring large out OF
town attendance, while members OF
both organizations will be out in force

Officers Greet Prisoner.
When the case of the state against
the deputy commander was called be-
fore Judge Miller at 10 o'clock this
morning and the prisoner entered the
courtroom in the custody of Deputy
John Ross of the sheriffs department,
two officers of the Maccabees rushed
forward and gave the prisoner a hand
clasp They were B, +. Batchelder,
record keeper, and Jesse Reese. finance
keeper.
Prior to the calling of the case,
Weiss had a talk with the officers and
to those in the court room 1t was OBJ
vious that had the case not been CALI
ed, Weiss would have had the officers
convinced he was entirely innocent. He
explained to them that in fulfilling the
obligations of the Office which he held
he was not paid salary by the
local order, but that the supreme tent
paid him for all new members pledg-
ed and also for renewals. He claims
to have some money coming from the
supreme tent which he thinks will

Assistant States Attorney w. G.

oner or the lodge heads and when
Judge Miller called the case, asked
that continuance be taken until q

of serious nature, that the bail should
be increased. Acting on this sugges-
ton, Judge Miller increased the amount
from $3.50 to $3.50. which Weiss was
unable to cover so was committed to
the custody of the sheriff.
Weiss admits that ne used bad judg-
ment in assuming all the expenses of
the order and wishes he had continued
at his trade as baker. He claims that
