JACKSON SMOTHERED

MINOT OPPOSED TO LANCER
Attorney General William Langer
ON the first ballot. is the general pre-
dictiOn here as the convention cor
venes. His chief opposition is con.
fined to Mnot business men, who feel
that he mishandled the purity raid
made here several months ago. This
was shown when Langer and Packard
drove to the Leland hotel and were
refused quarters. Judge Palda who
heads the Ward county delegation,
was involved in the litigation that fol-
lowed the raid over the telephone ex-
change which LANCER seized. This
and other instances irritate' locally,
but make little or no impression upon
the body of delegates. majority OF
whom express themselves openly for
LANCER. .
-r. MAY BOLT CONVENTION s.
II was freely rumored this morning
that Minot delegates as we'll as some
OF Steen's friends may bolt the con-
ventiOh if LANCER is named. Steen
would not state this morning what his
attitude would be in the event of Lam
gers nomination, which at this writ
ing seems inevitable. He intimated
that he might even make the run in
hependently and this argument is be-
ing used to force Langer's retirement
for a compromise candidate. LANCER
will stand pat, however. as he has the
most delegates.
NEsTOS WILL ACCEPT LANCER
Nestos was willing early this morn
ing to abdicate in Langer's favor and
accept the nomination for United
States senator. Many of Langer's
friends, however, are insistent that no
endorsements be made for United
States senator or congress. feeling
That this will complicate matters and
make the campaign against TOWnley-
ism dOubly hard. LET congressional
and senatorial aspirants shift for
themselves" is the comment this
morning. but whether this sentiment
will prevail is doubtful.
HAVE $50 DELEGATES
Langers headquarters, as the con-
vcntion was about to convene. de-
clared that the attorney general would
have at least $50 votes on the first
ballot more than sufficient to nomi-
nate.

Rlue-Jay Ways.

Last spring a pair of blue Jays
nested in the crotch of maple just
below my study window. What time
they had of nest building! The female
insisted on building in crotch below
while the male thought crotch higher
up afforded a more advantageous loca-
cation. They talked and scolded
building first in one place then in the
other. In the end the female had her
way. and the makeshift bunch Of twiSs
and brush was collected. The birds
were silent for weeks. tending strictly
to family cares; the half Of which the
