SPECIAL SESSION
TO Be DEFERRED
Frazier's Change of Election
Date Means Delay

Governor Frazier's action, on advice
from Secretary Of State Hall, III post
poning the special election to be held
in Towner county for the election Of
a senator to succeed the late A. s. Glib
bens, is taken to Indicate that no spe-
tial session is likely before the last Of
November. The governor originally
set the Towner county election for
October 81. He showed the date for
ward 25 days when notified by Secre-
tary Of State Hall of provision in
the election laws requiring that notice
of elections be given by publication
once each week for four successive
weeks. 1t is hardly believed that the
governor will convene the legislature
in extraordinary assembly until after
"a new member Of the upper house has
been named from Towner, where, un-
less there has been a decided slump,
the leagues chances Of gaining mem
ber would be about fifty fifty. Gibbons
defeated G. p. Peterson, a league house
leader, there last fall, but there are
few men who could make the race Glib
bens did.

The conference was not in session

presented. It was said that the let

INSPECTOR FINDS
BISMARCK SCHOOL
IN TIP TOP SHAPE
Local Indian Institution Shows
Best Form in It's Entire
Career

The Bismarck Indian school is high
ly complimented by w. 1. Endicott,
inspector of the department of the in
terror, who dropped in unexpectedly to
see how things were getting along.
When the present superintendent, G.
o. Padgett, took charge about year
ago the local school was in badly
run down condition It has not been
operated for a year or two, and it was
necessary for the new chief to start
in at the bottom and build another
school. In this he has succeeded, and
today the enrolment is the largest the
institution has ever known, and there
is a waiting list Of 200 or more. Bids
were opened at Washington on the fif-
teenth for two new buildings which the
growth of the school has rendered
necessary, but no report of the award
ing of contracts has yet been received.
Inspector Endicott, whose home is at
Cedar Falls, Ia, is an oldtime news
paper man, for thirty years a journey
man printer and for almost as long a
period associated in the editorial and
business management of newspapers
in his hometown.

the Mandan leaguers say the
delegation which is coming
on Governor Frazier's special
train from Bismarck are not
in complete harmony with
the league leaders plans for
today's rally.
The resolution, which is
signed by T. ]. Krause, secre-
tary, carries a postscript
urging that "the fullness Of
democracy be applied in the
Nonpartisan league so as to
remedy present inconsistent

falls"
Krause was appointed by

Sir William Hearst and His Gov.
ernment Swamped by
Radical Element
BIG PROHIBITION VICTORY

Toronto, Ont.,Oct 21-In complete
returns from yesterdays election in
which Sir William Hearst, Premier of
the Province and the Conservative
government were swamped indicate
that Ontario has gone "dry" by an ov-
erwhelming majority. Throughout the
province, especially in the rural dis
tricts the prohibition wave has rolled
high. The voting was three to one in
favor of it in some districts.
The defeat of the Hearst Conserva-
tives was according to the Mail and
Empire, Conservative organs, due
mainly to the large vote polled by the
united farmers and labor candidates
who took AZ and IL seats respectively.
The largest single party in the new
house will be the farmers BY alli-
ance with either of the old parties
and labor it should command a good
working majority.

N 0 ENTHUSIASM
IN FARMER CREW
ENTRAINED HERE
Sober Faced Agriculturists
Board Governors SpeciaP'
for Gate City %
FEW JOIN AT JAMESTOWN

The Governor Frazier Special"
which left Bismarck this morning at
7:30 o'clock, carried with it about four
or five men from Mandan to the Non
partisan rally at Fargo today ;:ld
about IS men, mostly farmers from
this city. At Jamestown, according to
reports reaching here shortly before
Eoon, only few people boarded the
train.
Governor Lynn J. Fazier led the
contingent from the state capitol and
1T was estimated that about % Of the
IS from Bismarck were on the states
payroll in some position or other In
the semi-gloom which shrouded the
railroad station at this early hour, it
was, impossible to distinguish u single
prominent man or woman from this
city, all of those other than Office
holders being farmers from the sur
rounding country who drove to the
capitol city in automobiles or came
here over the north and south 500.
NOT MUCH ENTHUSIASM
1t was plainly evident that when the
special train left Bismarck there was
not the whole-hearted enthusiasm
which the promoters Of the trip had
expected and hoped for. The farmers,
particularly, were silent and con-
versed with on another in subdued
tones. No decorations or banners were
placed on the cars of the special train
tC advertise the mission on which the
1nen were going.
1T looks more like these men are
going to ask questions first and act
afterward, rather than be led like
sheep by Townley, Mills and Lemke
and put up their money without a mur-
1nur or voice in the proceedings" said
one of the few that had gathered to
see the special train leave on it's trip
eastward.
The special train will reach Fargo
this afternoon and will make the re-
turn trip to Bismarck Immediately
after the evening session tonight. If
it had not been for the state officials
at the capitol providing this special
train, it is believed that there would
have been only, a mere handful of peo-
pie from this city who would have at
tended the Fargo meetings.

Whether the first terminal elevator

ly at Grand Forks-will cost 100000

will employ ten or twenty men or two

whether the elevator capacity will be
100 bushels ore 1O,0O0,0UO is matter
with which Secretary Anderson Of the
state Industrial commission is not con-
verSant.-
Il may have some personal ideas on
the subject" said Mr.. Anderson today,
hut they would not be authentic or
othcial, and they might prove to be
very far from the truth. l do not
know that the Industrial commission
has ever announced any decision on
this point. There is no formal pro-
sl!ectus or other printed matter to in
dicate what the commissions plans
may be. Mr.. McGQvern may have a
plan worked out, but il 50, 1 know
nothing of it."
NO LOCATION YET

tary Anderson, "the commission has
taken no definite, action on the selec-
ton of a site. Ii such action has been
taken it is without my knowledge, and
TIE files do not reveal it. The com
mission has no meeting scheduled for
this week, but it may meet at any
date on call
Grand Forks is quite confident that
i, is to have the first mill and elevator.
This matter may be decided at Fargo
today or tomorrow. Commissioner

dustrial commission has been in the

The Nonpartisan press in seeking to

which would build up city Of thou
