Developments Looked For
at Meeting Of University
and School Land Board.
PRATER MAY NEED
A LIGHTING PLACE
Out Of Sympathy With All
But Governor-Confers
With Frazier Frequently
(special to The Herald.)

Bismarck, N. D., March '2e.-About
the state house some interesting de-
velopments are predicted when the
state board of university and school
lands meets the last Of the month.
This board is dominated by Nonparti-
sans. At the state house today. how
ever. there are two, brands Of Non
partisans-the Townley type and the
insurgents. OF the straight Townley
chairman, is at present the only rep
resentative on the board. The insur-
gents are represented by Thomas
Hall, secretary Of state; Carl r.
Kositzky, state auditor, and William
LANCER, attorney general. The fifth
member Of the board is Miss Minnie
J. Nelson, state superintendent of
public instruction, an Independent,
but one who cannot be relied upon to
be neutral should there come a clash
between Attorney General LANCER,
who has befriended her, and Governor
Frazier. who has done his utmost to
which the people elected her last fall,
and who fathered the board Of ad
ministration bill which, should it be-
come effective, would make her Office
an empty honor, subservient to ap-
pointees Of the governor, who would
include Neil c. Macdonald, the man
she retired by majority Of 5000 last
fall.
Prater is interested.
More interested in this situation
than any other man at the capitol is
William J. Prater. chairman Of the
Burleigh county Republican central
committee, and secretary Of the state
board Of university and school lands.
Prater Is thoroughly out of sympathy
with. five of the four members on the
board. The only member from whom
he can claim any sympathy or sup
port Is the governor and Mr.. Frazier
is outvoted four to one.
There has been for years a very
warm friendship between State Audi
tor Kositzky and Mr.. Prater. Recent
ly, however. Mr.. Kositzky has devel-
oped an independence Of thought and
action which has placed him on
President Townley's black list, Since
that time Mr.. Prater has foregathered
less with Mr. Kositzky, despite the
fact that during the closing, hours OF
the sixteenth assembly Mr.. Kositzky
saved Prater's scalp by warning him
OF the public printing commission.
But for Mr.. Kositzky's insight into the
situation which would have resulted
had Prater been made member of
the pruning commission, the name or
the secretary Of the board Of univer-
sity and school lands would have re-
mained in the printing bill. and the
majority members of the administra-
ton at the capitol, as soon as this bill
became effective-should it fail to be
defeated in the referendum-would
have removed Mr.. Prater from the Of
flee of secretary of the board of uni
versity and school lands and would
have placed in that position a man
in accord with their views and who
would, with Secretary of State Hall,

winners and while his delivery was
nicked for four ~safeties against two by
Bob Johnson. the support of Greven was
sensational. His teammates backed him
in perfect style. while the I~.ansdownc
infield afforded ragged support.
Allie McWilliams was the bright light
in the Dobson victory. the former high
school star being responsible for both
runs by his wonderful work. both at
bat and on the bases.
The second gamp of the series will be
played next Saturday afternoon on the
grounds of the Strawbirdge & Clothier
team.

ball for Stokes all season. was hit hard
and the coming champions had little
difficulty in solving his delivery for n
total of eleven hits. which included six
for extra bases. Nally led with four
bingles, which included n triple and q
homer.
