enthusiastically endorsed Herbert Hoover the presi.
dency declaring his judgment infabe his patriot
ism 100 per cent. certainly placed trying posi-

dates. Mr.. Hoover does matters or 20 half
way. He declares himself hat-footedly and without
reserve aud those who have been inclined to follow his
dictates inspired would well now to accept his
word But they will not. The New York World for
example which is the bitterly democratic paper in
the country espoused his reason that it
believed 1t to be impossible to elect presi-

'ner his belief that Article Ten of the
League of Nations covenant would
mean the United States would pledge
herself to send armed forces or battle
squadrons to the foreign shores to
settle boundary disputes of insignif-
cant nations and that the United
States would lose it's integrity as
great nation by the ratification of the
treaty, Hiram w. johnson, California,
candidate for the United States pres,
idency, on Friday evening explained
what he conceived to be the desire of
the people of the nation, and his
own views.
He declared that the reservation
proposed by himself al other sena>
tors to be virtually nothing more nor
less than the drawing of the teeth of
the document, and placing at the dis
cretion of Congress the declaration of
war or entrance into war.
In referring to the voting agree
ment in the league, he cited that while
certain protagonists Of Wilson and the
League of Nations doctrine have been
expounding the theory that one vote
for the United States was eminently
fair while England had six, Lord Grey
of England had declared the United
States should and shall have six votes
the same as the British Empire. john
son declared precedent for this was
established in 1912 at a Radio Treaty
conference. England took six votes,
one for each of it's major possessions.
The United States delegates lmmedi-
ately claimed six too, voting for Por-
to Rico, Hawaii, Alaska, the Panama
Canal and District of Columbia.
johnson prayed for return of the
day when his government is operated
on truly American principles. He de-
cided the fact that war conditions
made it necessary to clothe the pres
ident with Undue and unprecedented
powers land that the League of Ma
tions treaty was an attempt of one
man to put over his own man ideas
on hundred million people.
One significant statement was made
by the Californian at the opening of
his address: II am not socialist,
do not believe in Socialism, nor will
believe in any kindred organization
which fosters socialism and socialistic
ideas

HAzELToN TO LOSE PAPER
One League and One Anti.L.aguc
Newspaper Will Remain When
Consolidation Is Completed.
Money Not All Paid.

Last week the Record made bare
mention of the fact that the deal was
closed for the purchase of the Hazel
ton Republican by the league inter-
ests. The deal was only closed prior
to the time the Record was printed.
After spirited discussion among
several of the league hackers, it was
finally decided to buy. $500 was paid
down to bind the bargain, and the leag
uers have two weeks in which to
raise the rest of the coin. The Haz-
elaon plant will then be moved to Lin
ton and consolidated with the Free
Press. It is then the plan of the
Townleyites to try to raise the money
among the German-speaking popula-
tion on the promise of a German edit
ion of the league paper. Herman
Hardt, of Napoleon, will be brought
here to solicit the funds.
R. c. Colburn, for years the pub
fisher of the Republican, will retire
from the newspaper game and will
try farming in Washington state. Mr..
C. is one of the finest men in the busi-
ness in North Dakota and all who
have had dealings with him will be
sorry to see him leave. The people
of Hazelton, especially, will miss him
and their home paper. There was no
other sensible course, however, for the
Hazelton newspaper man. The news
paper laws put across by the league
make the game almost hopeless in a
small town, and it was common sense
to get out with whole skin. The
Reublican's prospects were even worse
than in the case Of the Record, owing
to its location in the county.
If the league machine keeps going
long enough, there will be one league
paper in every county-and that will
be all. Townley's "pickins" will be
fine then.
There is no question about the sale
Of the Republican unless the leaguers
should find it impossible to raise the
rest of the funds. Loans will be their
only recourse, for the amount Of stock
sold wouldn't be drop in the bucket
lin this deal alone.
The Record will make q double eff
fort to give good service to the people
Of the county in every neighborhood,
/ and those who want an independent

LEAGUE OFFICIALS TO DIG

Jos Coghlan, league supreme court
reporter, writing on supreme court
stationery, has addressed a letter tc
league appointees that they are ex.
pected to contribute to the league
fund, and that SIS would be about the
right amount.
AS matter of politics, Mr. Cogh'
Ian advises the appointees that II
would be better to keep the communi.
cation confidential. If the victim hap.
pens to short of money, the customary
post-dated check will suffice.
| All checks are to be made payable
to "cash."

TO OUR BRADDOCK READERS

We have secured the services of a
correspondent in Braddock, and will
attempt to give the readers of that
vicinity all their local news each week

This will be the best service possi-
bic so long as the present laws remain
which makes it impossible for paper
in town that size to live.
Mrs. M. McCune will be the Brad
dock correspondent. Persons desiring
notices of any kind published may see
her. Paid locals may be given to her,
also, and she will send them down for
publication.

LEAGUERs GET LEFT

Bismarck Tribune: Senator j. I.
Cahill, of Leith, Miss Aldyth Ward
and three other members of the "of-
ficiap reception committee, named on
riday afternoon by the republican
state central committee in convention
here, had a long, cold automobile ride
to Arnold for naught Friday evening.
Learning that the train was late,
the league receivers conceived the idea
Of driving to Arnold, riding in with
Senator johnson, and beating the To-
cal reception committee to it. SEN
ator Cahill, first to board the train,
was introduced to Senator johnson by
the latter's stage manager, R. S. Will
cox, and the Lacquer informed the
Californian that republican state
convention was in session in Bismarck
that he and four associates had been
appointed as an official reception COM
mittee, and that they extended to the
senator the hospitality Of the capital
city and urged that he be their guest
during his stay here.
Senator johnson politely replied
that his manager had made all plans
for his reception, and that those plans
ould no. be interfered with. He
thanked Cshill for his solicitude, but
stated that he was SO fatigued from
his long ride rom Minot that he did
not feel equal to any social diversions.
The remaining members Of the COM
mittee filed in and were introduced,
and johnson chatted with them in
friendly fashion, but when his train
reached Bismarck, he adjourned to the
Grand Pacific Hotel, where reserva-
tions had been made for him, and the
leaguers proceeded empty-handed to
the Nonpartisan hotel, where they had
hoped toldeliver their prize.

AFFIDAVIT FROM ARNOLD.

Last week the Record printed re-
port of the conversion of Rep. Arnold,
of Bowman county, at oneof Bill Lam
gers meetings. The Record under
stands that Rep. Fay Harding "does-
MT believe it," For his benefit, as we'll
as for the benefit of the public, we ar
printing herewith copy Of an afida-
Wit signed by Mr.. Arnold. It speaks
for itself.
Rep. Braatsberg was also mentioned
in the Arnold article. Since that
time Braatsberg has "crawfshed" to
some extent. He now denies that he
"apologized to LANCER" No one had
accused him of that particular act,
and he ignores the actual facts of the
matter, and does not quote what he
actually did say.
The Arnold affidavit reads as fol-
lows:
Scranton, No. Dak., Feb. 81, go.
State of North Dakota,
County of Bowman.
II, B. D. Arnold, upon my oath
deposes and says as follows in order
that my position may entirely be
clear and having been asked by num-
ber Of my friends to make a statement
as to my speech after the address de-
hvered by Attorney General William
LANCER at Scranton on February 49,
1920.
"Will state that I said at that time
substantially as follows: If Mr.. Lam
gers statements are true, and l have
no reason to question them, and after
examining the documents and photo
graphic copies of letters, etc., in con-
nection with the Scandinavian Amer
ian bank, deal, I confess I have been
misled and have done Mr.. LANCER a
great injustice and condmen the meth
DDS used and those responsible for
such raw deals as this bank deal. 1t
is rotten
Referring to the resolution passed
on the last day Of the special session
condemning Mr.. LANCER, 4 confess I
have wronged him and Is years of
apologizing will not right the wrong /
have done him. I am not repudiating
the original program of the Nonpar-
tisan league and expect to get some
relief yet through it, but insist on OBJ
tanning this relief by being square
with my fellow men,

notes BY co. SUPT.

In the past twelve months this office
has mailed out more than six thousand
pieces Of mail matter in addition to
the large amount of supplies handed
out to teachers, pupils and school of
ficers. Th eighth grade completion
examination for oneroom rural schools
will be held Thursday and Friday,
March 25th and 2Gth. We already
have the questions and have them
made up to send out. Thirty-five
schools have made applications for
them and we still have supply on
hand for any others who wish them.
We are busy this week marking
eigth grade examination papers from
graded schools.
We wish to urge teachers to be more
careful in marking papers. We have
reduced materially the grades on some
Of the papers sent in. Teachers must
realize that marking papers too high
Is reflection on them. Then, too,
they should realize the keen disap-
pointment a pupil must suffer when
he sees high grade lowered at this
office. Many answers to questions
were marked as absolutely correct
when they should have been marked
zero. The great trouble has always
been that too many have been passed
into the high school when they should
never have been allowed to getthrough
the eighth grade Let US give the pu-
pills better foundation.

Month Perfect Attendance Certificates
this week: Josephine Dykstra, Helen
