New York, September 25.-Frank A. Munsey will announce in the Sun and the New York Herald tomorrow. the change in name October 1, of the Sun and the New York Herald. to the New York Herald and the Evening Sun 10 the Sun. Mir Munsey is the owner of both newspapers. His statement in part follows:
 "When bought James Gordon Ben nett's several newspapers in January Of this year there was wide concern lest, through consolidation, the New York Herald might disappear from the list of American newspapers I responded 10 this concern with the announcement that the name of Bennetts cheif news papers would never perish by any act of mine.
 The Evening Sun has of necessity been restrained in the free expression of it's views because of its peculiarly close relation to the Sun. Obviously the two Suns could not take antagonistic posi-. tions editorially. With the two Suns in the family. it has been impossible to avoid complications and misunderstood ings in the conduct of these news papers"

ARE. IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE NORTHWEST
South Dakota Very Close Ma tionaIIy Minnesota and
 North Dakota are Favor able to Harding
By CLINTON W. GILBERT

St. Paul, September 25.-(Special)-- The Nom Partisan League state ticket here apparently is going to be beaten, The republican managers are private iy confident of electing their candi- date for governor, J. A. o. Preus, though publicly they avoid expres- sions of confidence for fear that some of their voters may neglect to come to the polls. IT they think the defeat of the Non Partisan League candidate for governor, Hendrix Skipstead, is assured, the leaguers do not appear to be especially hopeful.
 The defeats in the primaries were a severe blow to them. They entered their candidate, Skipstead, in the re- publican primaries and the situation greatly favored them. The opposition to the league was badly divided. There were five republican candidates for the nomination for governor, besides
 the leagues, Skipstead running in re- publican primaries. The republicans succeeded in concentrating their vote chiefly upon Preus, who beat Skip stead for the nomina tion by about 8, 00C votes. About 55,000 votes were divided among the other four candidates, som of which. especially those cast for tn, progressive republican candidate Frankson. probably belong in tnt league column.
 GET 17,0O0 MAJORITY
 On the straightout issue of the lieu tenant governorship, where there were only two candidates in the primaries the republican and the Non-Partisan League. the republican won by 17o01 votes. That was a fair test of strength between the parties. or factions of the republican party. Thus there is a fair margin of safety for the republicans
 But in the November election every advantage will be with the republicans The Non-Partisan Leaguers, having been defeated in the republican pri- maries. are forced to run their state ticket independently. No electoral ticket heads 1t, and as most of the members of the league wish to vote for MT. Harding. they will be voting in the republican column. anyway There will be the easiest way. Party regularity will hold some voters back from supporting the league ticket who were willing to vote for it so long as it was presented to the republican primaries, and the big swing for Harding which js unmistakable will aid the republics n state ticket. If this were not a presi l.

we have a majority of the Demo-
Gratis In favor of the Republican

The President by his notes and

He II was who called back enough
of the faithful to unite with the

His action In so doing has now been
approved by the Democratic con-

Mr.. Wilson out of power and the
Democratic nominee beaten on the
issues of the campaign, including
the question of whether the Presi-

IL he could not have Article X as

such as they offered to vote for and
would have supported but for Mr..
