HOUSE MAY NAME
MANN AS SPEAKER

A new plan for dealing with. the
speakership and leadership OF the
House under the forthcoming TeoFEan-
izatfon Of that body BY the Repub-
licans Is under serious discussion
among prominent Republican Con-
greSsmen-
II is not unlikely that this plan
will be carried through. since Il
represents a compromise program.
In any event, II is developing much
support. II contemplates making
Mann Of Illinois speaker to succeed
Champ Clark. and Gillett OF Massa-
chusetts hoOr leader.
Mann Il Favored.
Unless Mann.s health prevents he
will undoubtedly seek the speaker
ship and Cillett also is ambitious FOR
it, Mann Is not suitable TO many
House Republicans. but his ability is
recognized. and il is a fact that those
who do not like his record would Be
partly reconcilsd to his selection for
Speaker because the Speaker no
longer has great power in the House
He Is not nearly so powerful as the
majority leader. though his office II
more of an honor in the popular con-
ception.
IN the Democratic plan were fol-
lowed the chairman OF Ways and
Means would also be majority leader.
But Fordney OF Michigan will be en-
titled TO head Ways and Means, and
there will be much opposition 20
making him door leder because OF
his Nell-known ultra conservatism.
A number Of the Republicans who
do not like Mann's record would be
willing to give him the more or less
honorary post of speaksrshfp. with
the distinct understanding the
Speaker Is to have nothing to do
with the makeup OF the committees
GiIIett is personally popular in the
House, though his record has been
conservative. Many Of the more pro-
Eressiye Republicans prefer Gillett
as leader to Mann
LeadershIp for GITlett.
The preferable way out OF the mat
ter. some OF the leading Republicans
said today, would be to allow Mann
to have the speakership II he wants
il and is able to take Il. to make
Ginett leader. to make Fordney
Ways and Means chairman. and to
elect q committee on committees.
II made leader Gillett would have
plenty OF work on his hands without
being chairman Of Appropriations and
that post, under this proposed COM
promise would go to Good OF Iowa,
one OF the progressive Republicans
Of the Middle West, who has served
for years on the Appropriations Com
mittee and has been active on that
body.

WAGE SCALE
MAY Be FIXED
BY COUNCIL
Council of Defense Recon-
mends Relating 2 Cents
Per Mile to Harvesters.

Bismarck, N. D.. July 3.-.The
North Dakota council Of defense is
asked for another 4. w. W. procla-
nation" said Governor Frazier, with
one of his occasional CLEANS of
h!umor, as he finished reading to the
state council yesterday a letter from
Arthur Fleming, chief of section, sug-
costing that II North Dakota hopes to
obtain a sufficient supply Of harvest
labor it must adopt a moro charitable
and less suspicious attitude toward
transients. :
Governor Frazier issued a procla-
nation somewhat to this effect a year
ago. and he was bitterly criticised
therefore. especially because he
threatened to remove any peace Of
fcer who searched a transient who
might be under suspicion, without a
warrait.
The board directed the secretary to
Immediately wire Director General
McAdoo urging favorable action on a
letter from Datus C. Smith Of Blanch-
ard suggesting that provision be made
for rebating two cents per mile to
transient laborers who pay full fare
into the state, upon the presentation
of vouchers showing that they have
performed % days actual farm labor
The matter of fixing a maximum
wage for harvest labor was dis.
cussed. The council approached the
matter with h%esitancy, as one in
volving some grave dangers. 1t was
reported that Renville county already
had adopted a scale Of As cents pc,
hour. It was finally suggested that q
conference of farmers representing all
parts Of the state be called in the mean
future in order that there might be
agreed upon a uniform maximum
wage scale upon which all contracts
for farm labor may be based. T. j
Hielson of Hoople reported that
farmers in this community a year age
adopted 81 the day as the uniform
wage and stood by it, although I. w
w. organizers who invaded the coun-
ty just at harvest time melted work
ers to hold out for IS. He admitted
that a mysterious rumor which gain
ed circulation from some source to
the effect that the farmers had order
ed through a local hardware store l..
900 rifles and plenty of ammunition
with the avowed purpose Of cleaning
out the I. w. W. may have had some
effect.

NORTON TO RUN
FOR GOVERNOR,
SAYS A RUMOR
Would be Independent Can.
didate Against Frazier at
Fall Election.

Bismarck. N. D., July 3.-The new
est story of anti-league opposition at
the polls is that Patrick D. Norton,
now completing his third term as
representative in congress from the
Third district defeated by a narrow
margin for renomiatnion by j. H. Sin
clair, Nonpartisan, will be the indie
pendent candidate for governor
against Lynn j. Frazier at the polls.
1t Is stated that the independents be-
lieve they can hold the opposition re-
publican in line, and that the demo-
Gratis can be induced to get back Of
Norton in sufficient numbers to in
sure his election.
The story appears to be nothing
ton can be had from any authorita-
tive source. There is a similar story
n which U. S. Treasurer John Burke,
three times governor of North Da-
kota figures, but as the democratic
nominee, to substitute for Doyle, who
will withdraw to hold his job as
United States marshal, SO goes the
tale. The same rumor has it that the
opposition to the league has been as
concentrate its attack on the new
constitution. which consists Of ten
amendments embodying the vi tai
features Of famous House Bill "A, and
which will be submitted to the voters
at the fall election, if the supreme
court reverses a decision of two years
ago holding that the initiative amend
ment to the North Dakota constitu-
ton was not self-executing. There
is a considerable conservative element
In the league which would make
progress more slowly than is planned
by III radicals, and the opposition
seems to believe that some strength
may be taken from the league
through fear Of the success Of some
of the revolutionary economic meas
ures which could be proposed, were
the constitution amended as planned.
July B the county ~canvassing boards
will meet to certify the results of last
weeks primaries. Not later than
July Is, the county auditors must file
official abstracts with the secretary OF
state. July II the county control
committee, composed by p~recinctmen
nominated in the recent primaries,
will meet and select members of the
state central committeeman, who will
meet at Bismarck on September 4 to
outline a platform for the candidates
The county auditor must at least

without application from an elector,
send an absent voters ballot to each

duty of the auditor to maintain a reg.

they are supplied with a ballot and a

STATE HANDLE
GRAIN BUSINESS
M'COVERN PLAN
Council Of Defense Consider.
ing Leasing Elevators and
Run Grain Business.

Bismarck, N. D., July 81. A. Nc
Govern. deputy state inspector Of
grains and grading, under instructions
from the state council Of defense, is
e~ndeavoring to draft a working plan
whereby his proposal that the coun-
Gil take over and operate the grain
business of North Dakota may be
placed in operation. Numerous diff
fcultiea presented themselves in con-
nection with the proposal which Nc
Govern yesterday placed before the
council, that the board, as a war
measure, take over the elevators and
warehouses, much as the federal gov
eminent has taken ver the railways,
the express business and the tele-
graph and telephone systems, paying
the elevator companies a reasonable
rental and operating the business on
a cooperative plan.
Howard r. Wood, speaker OF the
last house. and league candidate for
favor of McGovern's scheme, told Of
incidents Of which he had personal
knowledge where the expense Of
handling wheat under the present
competitive system ran as high as IA
cents per bushel. In no instance, he
stated, did the expense go under two
cents h bushel. He told Of one ele-
vator In the southeastern part of the
state which handled $4,000 bushels
Of wheat at 2.5 the bushel, while
a snail competitor. which handled
but $4,000 bushels, showed a cost of
So cents. Mr.. Wood favored paying
the elevator companies a reasonable
renal for their plants, operating
them on a community cooperative
basis, buying grain at a safe margin
and then, If any surplus remained at
ths end of the season, whacking up
pro rata with everyone who had sold
grain.. He believed the farmers
wheat would be handled at a greater
profit to himself, and that many men
whose services as elevator managers
are not required during the greater
part of the year would be released to
