mess was done this year by the motor

IN AMENDMENTS CASE--BYERLY IN LEAD

may vacate, annul and set aside such
unlawful proceeding, or grant such
other relief therefrom as justice and
law may require"
Four members of the supreme court
We're elected by the Nonpartisan
league. They are Associate Justices
Luther N. Birdzell, R. H. Grace, J. E.
Robinson and H. A. Bronson, the last
named having been elected for the
term beginning January l, 1919, and
now filling out the unexpired term of
former Chief Justice A. A. Bruce by
appointment from Governor Frazier.
Associate Justice Robinson, altho a
Lacquer, has already publicly express
ed his opinion as to the action of the
state canvassing board, agreeing with
the stand taken by Secretary of State
Hall.
The five amendments which are in
issue relate to the public ownership Of
industries, to remove the limit from
public Indebtedness, to the manner o1
adopting constitutional amendments
to taxation, authorizing the Legislature
to exempt from taxation all persona
property, including improvements OF
lands, and to the manner in which EN-
ergency measures may be given i'm
mediate effect. These five amend
ments embody changes which the leag
ue considers most vital to the success
of it's economic program, and all o
them received less than majority o
all the votes cast at the last genera
election.
The sixteenth legislative assembly
which the league expects to act unde
the amendments which it has declare,
carried, convenes January 5, and it i
anticipated that if the court grants tn
writ requested it will be made immed
lately returnable, and no time will b
lost in reviewing the action of tn
board Of canvassers and in handing
down the decision of the court.

-:
LEAGUERS, WITH A.MAJORITY,
:. OUTfaaSE BILLS FOR PASSAGE.

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 30.-North
Dakota Legislators will begin to gath
er at Bismarck tomorrow or Friday Of
this week, a member Of the admin
istration leaders being expected at this
time to begin the process of organiz-
ing the house Of representatives.
The Nonpartisan league leaders who
will be on the ground early, it is un-
derstood, will include William Lemke,
vice president of the Nonpartisan
league, and A. E. Bowen, chief clerk
Of the house in the last session.
So far as known, there is no avowed
Nonpartisan league candidate for the
speakership of the house, although it
is generally believed that a candidate
has been picked by the league leaders
at st. Paul, and at the proper time
they will bring their candidate to the
front and bring about his election.
Y Use Secret Caucus.
i Nonpartisans will control the house
of representatives by majority Of
about 26 votes and will maintain q
caucus agreement by which they will
seek to bind all league members to
caucus decisions, just as worked out
two years ago. ~
The state senate committees, it is
understood, are well mapped out, and
some important committee chairman
ships:will 60 to the newly elected Nom
partisans. Senator Mcbride of Dick
inson. an Independent, probably will
not succeed himself as chairman of
the judiciary coramittee, as the league
leaders will not consent to any such
arrangement. Likewise, "A. S. Glib.
bens of Townerc county, may be denied
the honor of succeeding himself a:
chairman Of the appropriations. com
mittee, because he has declined t.
work with the league.
Contests Add Interest
The annual crop of legislative con-
tests will create little added interest
in the early phazes Of the organize
ton. Two league men defeated in
Stark county have contested seats;
one league man in Sergeant county
has instituted contest for seat in

h Five of the seven amendments ini-

election as Controller,
Heads the List

Dewitt A. Fry. candidate for
nomination and reelection as City
Controller on the Republican ticket,
filed his nomination petition to-day
at the County Comm isioners' office.
He was the first city candidate to
file papers and the fourth one in the
entire city and county. Many Pc
titions are in circulation for the i'm
portant county offices. but will not
be filed for q few weeks yet.
Lieutenant Colonel Edward Fl.
Schell emphatically denied to-day
the report that he would seek the
Democratic nomination for Mayor.

and will not be-" Colonel Schell de-
clared.
Democrats Lagging
With the exception of the growing
list of Democratic candidates for
County Commissioner, as there is a
certainty of one minority member
of the board being elected according
to law, there have been no other
candidates to announce themselves
in that party. That 1t will be diff
cult even to secure candidates to
run on the Democratic ticket was
predicted by a number of members
OF the party to-day.

to the world, and the only way to
get Europe back on its feet is tn
get the men back to their Jobs. He
urged the adoption by the United
States of the Peace Treaty and the
League of Nations plan, expressing
his belief that the two constitute one
of the greatest accom- pIishments in
history.
Mr.. Mccormick, who was intro
duced by President L. F. Neefe. of
the Kiwanis Club, was given a
hearty greeting. He expressed him.
self as being happy to be back home
and thanked the club for giving him
opportunity to address the organi-
sation and its guests.
A Hard Treaty
You have heard that this is a.
hard Treaty and an unworka BILE
Treaty. he said. "It is a hard
Treaty and 1t ought to be a hard
Treaty, but 1t is workable" he con-
unued. He said he was among
those who thought the President
would make a mistake by going
abroad and told him SO, but, being
overruled, he came home convinced
that the Treaty could not have been
written had not the President been
at hand to exert his harmonizing in
fluence. He said that otherwise
there would have been no unanim-
ity among the twenty-seven nations
assembled. each of which had a vote
on the peace terms, all of the planks
of necessity being adopted by unan-
imous consent. He said he thought
the Treaty to be the greatest
achievement of history.
Mr. Mccormick recalled his first
visit to France, when the Allied gen
erals in 1917 forecasted the great
German drive OF 1918 and asked for
$4,000 American troops, and how
America responded with 100000 by
July and stopped the drive for
Paris at Chateau Thierry.

political convention. with ali tha
