by joint resolution of congress, was
the principal business on the calendar
today. Senator Knox, republican.
Pennsylvania, former secretary of
state. announced he would call and
speak at length on his resolution to
terminate the status of war with both
Germany and Austria. The measure
was reported recently by the senate
foreign relations committee by
straight party vote in lieu of the re-
solution adopted by the house April ..
The house resolution proposed to re-
peal the declaration of war with Ger
many only.
Senator Knox's address was the
only prepared speech to be made to-
day.

LEAGUE REPUDIATED

The assured election OF Mayor l.. c.
Hodgson is direct defeat of the Non
partisan league and the radical ele-
ment in organized labor, as we'll as
the socialist party. Mahoney was en-
dorsed by the league, the socialists
and the radical union men.
The campaign leading up to yester.
days election was very bitterly con
tested, the Nonpartisan league, aided
by the leaders of the socialist party in
St. Paul, exerting every effort to elect
their candidate for mayor, who was
showed under by 5000 votes. The
league made it's strongest showing in
the wards which normally return big
votes in favor of candidates on the
socialist ticket.
