ing some unforeseen development it
Will be the same six weeks hence
when the convention delegates as

McAdoo Stock High
In the view of the political leaders
OF both parties who follow preconven-
tlon activities closely, McAdoo's
chances have improved steadily since
the race started. He is known to be
the choice Of great majority Of
southern delegates and he has a much
larger following in the northern
states, particularly in the east and
middle west, than any other candi-
date
There is little doubt that had he
desired it many delegations would
have been instructed for him and he
would today be far in the lead in the
number of instructed delegates.
Just why 'McAdoo refused to per-
NIT his friends to enter his name III
the primaries is not known. But he
took that position at the beginning
of the campaign and has adhered TO
it consistently.
So that at San Francisco the par
adox will be presented OF the man,
conceded to be the leading candidate,

convention of the league meeting here
today. Frazier, who has served as
gove. nor if the state for two years.
was unanimously selected to run for
the gubernatorial nomination in June.
John N. Hagan. commissioner of
agriculture and labor, was nominated
to run on the league ticket for that
office. There had been some talk
of iunning Hagan for the governor
ship, but this did not materialize.
Howard Wood was elected to the
nomination Of lieutenant governor,
the position which he now holds.

Hall and kositzky
Hall and Kositzky were named as
i-anger's running mates, so that the
effective combination would not be
broken. On the rest of the ticket,
service men, professional and busi-
ness interests and last but not least,
the farmers are represented.
! The ticket was pronounced we'll
balanced and everyone left for home
last evening, feeling that good job
had been perfected and long step
taken toward the defeat of the anti
T0Wnley forces in the state of North
Dakota. ....,........
@ Senator Not Selected
It was deemed the better part of
wisdom to pass any endorsement for
United States senator and that Office
for the time being was passed. Ii it
is thought advisable later this place
will be filled by the anti-Townley re-
publican state central committee, up
on which are representatives from
each OF the central counties.
A lively contest developed in the
second district for congress between
Senator Davis of Goodrich and Con-
gressman George NJ. Young. The final
vote stood SO for Young and 4S for
Davis.
In the other districts there was un-
animity of feeling, Judge Crawford's
name was suggested in third district,
but was felt that man in the north
ern part of the district would be more
acceptable.
Gallagher Endorsed
The ticket was named after the gov
ernorship was out of the way in COM
pete harmony. Only on the nomina-
ton for Attorney General was there
anything resembling a contest Op-
posed to Mr. Gallagher was Attorney
F. E. McCurdy of Bismarck and
George Shafer of Watford City. The
vote stood, r. H. Gallagher 242, f. E.
McCurdy, 73, and George Shafer 3S.
H. H. Steele, who was nominated
for Lieutenant Governor, withdrew in
favor of Streeter. Mr. Steele of Bis
marck was placed in nomination by
the Renville delegation and seconded
by Fl. P. GODDARD of the Burleigh
county delegation. Mr. Steele gra-
ciously retired in favor of service
man. --''
Plans are being made to wage a
vigorous campaign in behalf of the
ticket.

One Wife Expensive
Enough, Persians Say

Teheran, April 19.-Polygamy is dy-
ing out in Persia - another result
of greatly advanced living costs, to-
gether with jealousy, which is becom-
ing more marked a characteristic Of
Persian wives with the permeation Of
western ideas and standards in the
east.
With this change has come another
the custom Of having family names.
A year ago the Persian government
made it compulsory for people to
adopt surname. Before that only
peasants had any common name in
the family, the upper classes possess
ing only one. A man, for instance,
might be called Ghaffar simply, and
his son Hassan with nothing to show
their relationship.

foreshadowed by the fact that w. A.
Body, British consul from Vera Cruz,
is in the camp Of President CarranZa.
Advices give no details as to the rea.
son for his presence there, but it
seems probable he accompanied the
president in his flight from Mexico

ties in Vera Cruz have arranged for a
Mexican naval lieutenant to 60 by spe.

an attempt to rescue the Englishman.

made their appearance in the harbor
of Vera Cruz and four American fight.

Negotiations for the surrender of
Matamoras, across the frontier from

HARD TO FIND MAN
TO SUCCEED POLK

Washington, May 13.-Withdrawal
of Frank l.. Polk as under secretary
of state is causing considerable diff
ficulty in reorganizing the state de-
partment. Mr.. Folks resignation is
admittedly a severe blow to the de-
partment and he is being urged to
continue at his post as long as pos
sible. The under secretary's health
is not good and he believes he could
not stand another trying Washing
ton summer.
The post has been offered to Hugh
Gibson. minister at Warsaw. but he
is unwilling to accept it, owing to a
greater inclination to continue the
work which he has commenced in
Poland, where he believes there is
far-reaching opportunity for service.
