fore subject to legislative control.
Presidential electors and some other
officials come under the provisions Of
the bill, which is similar in its terms
to the law which has been in opera
ton for some time in Illinois.
Steps are being taken under the
referendum law to have this act re-
ferred- to the people for their decision
at the 1918 election. The effect Of
this would be, at least. to suspend
Its operation until after that election.
The charge has been made that mis-
representation is being used by per-
sons circulating the petition. and that
many persons have been induced to
sign because Of their belief that they
We're signing a suffrage petition"
Those in charge Of the general petit
ton work, officers of the North Dakota
Association Opposed to Woman Suf-
frage, deny that there has been any
misrepresentation, and the suffrage
association comes back with a caustic
statement in which the charges are
reiterated. with what seem to be some
very unnecessary additions.
1t Is quite possible that there has
been misunderstanding on the part
OF some persons to whom petitions
were presented for signature. If the
petitions are being circulated by many
persons 1t IL possible that some of

IS THE ELECTION LEGAL?

The supreme court, in addition to deciding whether
q nomination for the special congressional election in
this district may be made by a party convention, may be
asked also to decide whether the call issued for the cleo
ton is legally made.
Assume that the court decides the convention plan
of nomination lawful, and it follows that certain forms
must be complied with. The old convention laws, which,
so far as they relate to special elections. are held by one
considerable group of authorities not to have been re-
pealed, were rather precise in their specifications. Such
conventions must be held at least so many days before
election. So many days notice of the convention and
of the preliminary caucuses must be given.
The time between Governor Fraziers proclamation
and the date Of the election which he has ordered APP
pears to be too short for full compliance with the law
relating to notice Of caucuses, convention and election.
No political party beginning it's proceedings now could
make the schedule. 1t would appear. therefore. that if
the convention plan is legal. the election cannot lawfully
be held on the date set by the governor. asa in his be-
lated anxiety for haste, he has neglected to allow sufn-
Gent time for compliance with the legal requirements
This subject is full of little twists, and the more
one studies 1t the more fascinating it becomes.

CALLING A CONVENTION

Inasmuch as the attorney general holds tina, nom
nations for the special congressional election in the First
district may be made only by petition, and the governor
proceeds upon that theory, the Republican convention
which has been called is naturally ignored as something
irregular and unauthorized by law. The divergent views
on this subject will be brought to the attention. of the
courts, and a decision which is conclusive will be reached,
In the meantime, there has been some little discus
sion Of TIA regularity of the call for the proposed con-
ventton. granting that convention nominations may legal
~ be made. The call for this convention was issued, not
by the state chairman of the party, Mr.. Lenke, but by
the national committeeman, Gunder Olson. The opinion
can be called only by the state chairman, and that the
committee. and has no authority with reference to any of
its proceedings.
We do not recall that a similar situation has arisen
must. so far as we know, be sought lsewhere. But two
things in this connection merit attention.
In the first place, this election is for the purpose of
filling a national, and not a state office. Mr.. Olson is
the states representative in the national organization Of
the Republican party. He was elected to that position
by the votes of his fellow Republicans. His duties re-
late to the conduct of national affairs, and in the election
Of a member of the national house Of representatives
from one of the districts of this state the national COM
mitteeman must certainly be considered a party in in
terest.
In the second place, while the call for the convention
was issued by the national committeeman, this action
was taken at the unanimous request Of members Of the
state committee from this district, at a meeting attend
ed by 10 per cent, or more, of such members. A party
committee is not subject to the arbitrary rule of it's chair
man. The chairman can call meetings, but if he refuses
or neglects to call a meeting when one is desired by the
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1917-05-28

majority Of the members Of the committee, those men,
bers have an undoubted right to issue a call on their own
account. II any doubt ever existed as to this right, that
doubt was removed by the state supreme court last year
in its decision in the case in which the regularity Of the
Democratic state organization was challenged. In that
decision the court declined to interfere. holding that a
majority Of the committee has a right to order meetings
and elect or remove officials, and perform other acts ap-
propriate to party committees.
Under that ruling it appears clear that II a nominal
ing convention is legal at all, 1t can be called at the pleas
ue of the members of the committee without waiting
on the action of an unwilling chairman.

The greatest work confronting
North Dakota at the present time is

North Dakota can muster and the
task is a big one. We must be able
to carry on this big TASK with dis

are men of recognized ability. We
have to come to an organization of

state can do its utmost. The sooner
we get to it the better. This state
has done exceptionally we'll so far as
patriotic causes are concerned. We
gave men and dollars and gave them
freely. But our u must be
conserved to stand the steady strain
we are about to meet. This val is
to be a long one. No one knows when
1t will be over but the military OK
perts believe it will last three or four
years more. Then conservation must
be our ~watchword. If the people can
be appealed to direct by this or that
cause, the people will soon be unable
to stand the strain. We must give
money according to the cause and
we must all give u fair share: The
only fair method of raising money
is by taxation for If the generosity of

fected. For instance the price of
flour dropped some four dollars per
barrel when the price of wheat was
fixed but in Minot today bread is SELL
ing for the same price it sold for
when flour was at the top price.
There is something radically wrong
somewhere when this is the case and

given this organization to enforce its
rules and regulations just as other

DIRECT

MANY CAUSES
Citizens Should be Equally
Taxed for Patriotic
Purposes.

Minot, N. d., Nov. 26.-To devise
some scheme whereby money can be
raised and distributed in North Dako-
Ia for the various patriotic causes, in
Il n which will give all an OPP
portunity to equally share the bur-
den, is the purpose of a conference to
be held tomorrow at Bismarck pc
tween Governor Lynn J. Frazier and
Attorney Dorr H. Carroll of Minot,
head of the state council of defense.
MIR. Carroll left this morning for the
capital and expects to meet the gov
srnor tomorrow afternoon.
Prior to his departure from this
city Mr.. Carroll outlined the neces-
sity of some organization, with care
fully worked out aims, to hanu.e all
the matters pertaining to the war.
h state council of defense was or
ganized primarily for this purpose but
so many other organizations have
sprung up that Overlapping and du-
plication has been very prevalent. At
the present time this state is confront
ed with many important questions. So

kota is to do her share in this
The problems can be solved by prop

it is to plan for this that Mr.. carroll

have control of this work. in Mr.. Car

to cover many of the patriotic ques-

lie carried by a portion of h c,si-

would equally divide the task and
each do his or her share. The secur.

would necessitate special legislation

SAVE MOISTURE
 INCREASE CORN YIELDS

It has been estimated that from , to inches of water will ordinarily mature a 40-bushel crop of corn. Ar kansas has 45 to 50 inches of rainfall each year but in spite of this abund- ance of water much of the corn sui fers from lack of moisture and com- plaints are always heard that in some places corn is light and chaffy be- cause of the drouth. The soil is our store house for moisture and in ordi- nary seasons there is no necessity for not supplying the corn crop with a sufficient amount of water if we cul- tivate the crop properly. If we are to save the moisture, cultivation must be done just as soon after each rain as it will do to work the soil. This culti- vaton should be repeated frequently until the crop is mature. Many farm CTS cultivate too deeply, cut the corn roots and reduce the yield. The best way is to cultivate shallow. For cul- tivating corn or cotton after the grass and weeds are under control, two trips for each row is too expensive. One trip to the row can be made just as effective for saving the moisture. 1 The one-horse seven-shovel cultivator with small sweeps instead of the out side shovels do splendid work on all types of soil. It would be better to use the IA spike tooth harrow culti- vaor on land in good tilth but MT. V. H. Kern, specialist in farm imple- ments with the University of Arkan- sas, says that such cultivators cannot be used on rough hill land. He also says that the spring tooth harrow, sometimes called the Gee-Whiz, is good. One trip to the row, cheap but effective, usually leaves the land in good condition. Level shallow culti- vation is the cheapest and safest.

MUST GUARD AGAINST
 INTRIGUES BY GERMANS

Washington, July 5.-The German intrigues against property and sta tions of the United States navy in this country must still be carefully guarded against is shown by case which is now before the Department of Justice, says a statement issues here today at Navy League headquar ters.
 In a southern city with a popula- tion of about 3o,000 people, says this statement, there is colony of Ger man subjects who recently petitiOned the government, through the Depart ment of Justice, to waive certain of the restrictions placed upon them as to their residence in fixed zones.
 These restrictions prevent alien ene- mics from living or going within a certain distance of any naval station or ship.
 The petition from the Germans of the southern city. mentioned above, was so phrased on it's face that ti ap- peared to be an entirely harmless re- quest. Federal officials in the South were inclined to grant it. The peti- tion was, however, referred to Wash ington. An investigation proved that there was on foot scheme to place certain German agents close to the navy yard where considerable mischief might then be done. It has now been decided that, not only will the areas from which these Germans are barred not be limited or reduced, but that in- creased surveillance over every move ment will be maintained.
 The belief is expressed here that had this request been granted, it was the intention of alien enemies in other cities to make similar request, and that in the end serious harm might have resulted.
