Of
WHITE SURPRISE
TO THE REGENTS
Colonel of Second Regiment Had
Stated He Would Not Quit
While in America
WELL KNOWN MI.,%SzzSTER
" NAMED HIS SUCCESSOR
Rev. G.. E. Vermilya of Valley
City Has Held Various
Charges in State

The resignation of COL Frank White
of Valley City as a member of the
state board of regents, which Secre-
tary n. A. Mason announced today,
was filed late last evening with Gov
ernor Frazier, came as a surprise to
other members OF the board and to
friends of the former governor gen
orally.
Action Not Anticipated.
While it was, of course, understood
that Ex-Governor White, in accepting
the command of the Second regiment,
would be compelled to resign from the
regency, it was also understood, and
Colonel White is said to have fire.
quently SO stated that he would not
tender his resignation until his regi-
ment was called away from American
soil
CompIicates Things.
In quitting at this particular juno
ture, Colonel White rather cOmpli-
Gates the woes of the board of re-
gents, which are amply numerous.
The appointment of Rev. C. E. Yer
milya of Valley City. one of the five
men whom the governor nominated
last winter, but whom the senate re-
jected, will mean administration con-
troll of the board if success crowns
the governors plans to seat at the
next meeting of the board his own
appointees in place of ScOw and Pow
er, whose terms expired July /. but
who have held on for the lack OF
legally appointed successors.
White Chained Mind.
When and why White changed his
mind could not be learned today. The
former governor left on No. this
morning for Minneapolis on some
mission of his own. Rev. Vermllya's
commission had been made out and
was ready to go into action last night
when Whites resignation was re-
ceived.
DR.. Vermilya is one of the states
best known Methodist ministers. He
has held charges at Minot. Fargo and
other of the larger cities in North Da'
kota, and for several years has been
pastor of the First church of Valley
City. He has been prominent in edll'
cational affairs and in lyceum work.
and his friends regard him very well
fitted for the important duties which
he assumes today.
The unexpired term which COL
White resigned yesterday ends July l.
1919.

Chroniica'lAy
Il, the Red;
.hl
He Appeals
Claimant for Exemption Presents
Long Record Of Overdrafts
. to District Board

A chronically over-drawn bank ac'
count, with his handbook and an affi
davit from his bank to prove it, is pre-
sented by one North Dakota regis
trant as reason why the district ex'
emption board should consider his ap.
peal from his local board which de-
MED him exemptions when he claimed
he was the sole support of one wife.
Bad Bank Account.
That bank account is overdrawn
1894 this very minute-a notice from
the bank which is enclosed with the
claimants affidavit is proof positive.
Aside from this bank account, which
is more of liability than an asset,
all the claimant claims in this world
is a $4,000 life insurance policy
which will do no one any good until
he is in the next world.
A Marriage License.
Another claimant sends in a per-
fectly good marriage license used but
once to prove that the local exemption
board. erred in denying him a dis
charge.
Towns Only Banker.
There is another case truly
pitiful This gentleman states that
there is only one bank and only one
bank cashier in his town. He is that
cashier. If he is called to the colors,
he declares, the ebank cannot expect
to find anywhere man so capable as
he to fill his place-result, bank
closed; no place for the good people
to deposit their pennies; thrift
thrown to the winds; general destitu.
ton!
There's another man who isn't an
appealer on dependency claims de-
MED by the local board but an agri-
cultural claimant over whom the dis
trict board has original jurisdiction.
He informs the board that he is sole
nurse to 149 head of cattle and attend
ant governess for another most valu'
able piece OF live stock. 'Tis plain to
be seen that he regards himself an
important members Of his commun-
ity.
Nearly All In.
Only three counties this morning
had failed to make any report of any
kind to the district board. In prac'
tically every instance where county
boards have reported, sufficient eli.
gibles have been presented to enable
the district board to certify to the
adjutant general next Monday, when
the board reconvenes, enough men
to fill the 80 percent of the net quota
which will be called September 5.
The board is receiving a large mum
Der of appeals from individuals
whose claims for exemption on de
pendency grounds have been denied
by district boards. 1t also is being
overwhelmed by cases where exemp'
tions have been granted by the local
boards and which are automatically
appealed by the government for re-
view by the district board.

RULING OF GOPHER|TEs
Governor Burnquist Holds Reins
OF Affairs; He Retakes
State Oath
ASSOCIATED press Dispatch.l

ST. Paul, January 3.-Joseph A. A.
Burnquist, who, as lieutenant COVER
nor succeeded Winfield Scott Ham
mond, as governor of Minnesota up
on the latter's death, December 80,
1915, continued today as the states
chief executive, with the strongest
endorsement ever given guberna-
torial candidate in Minnesota. In the
November election, he received a
plurality of $4,000 or more than
twice that ever given any other can
didate for governor of this state.

been in politics. In 1906 he was an
unsuccessful candidate for state SEN
ator from, his. district, but two years
later was elected to the lower house.
In his first session he attracted at
tention for his watchfulness in OPP
position to several so-called salary
grabs and other legislation he held
questionable.
He was elected in 1915 and was
narrowly defeated for the state
speakership in 1912, he was elected
lieutenant governor, after being
nominated on the republican ticket at
the first primary for state officers
held in this state. He was reelected
in 1914, and became governor De-
cember, 80, 1915, when Governor
Hammond, democrat, died suddenly
in the south.
Mr.. Burnquist, who was born July
II, 1879, in Dayton, Iowa. graduated
from the Dayton high school and en-
tered Carleton college. He won the
state oratorical contest in 1901 for
that school, where he graduated in
1902. At Columbia university, New
York, he specified in constitutional
law, getting the degree of master OF
arts in 1904. Returning to Minnesota,
be graduated from the state univer-
sity college of law in 1905 and began
