H0MNESS READY
TO WITHDRAW IS
LATEST RUM0R
p. d. Norton Expected to Make
Race for Congressman for
Third District
COL. WHITE ALSO QUITS?
Obert Olson is Said to be Ready
to Run on Independent Ticket
for Treasurer
COL. WHITE ALSO QUITS?

George P. Homness of Crosby anti
Townley candidate for congressman
from the third district has withdrawn
from the race, according to informa-
ton from reliable sources and P. D.
Norton of 'Mandan, who has been con-
ducting little boom for himself for
the nomination for United States sen
ator, is expected to run in the June
primaries for the lesser office vacated
by Homness.
These are the two outstanding de-
velopments during the past few days
in the political arena. The public an
nouncement of Homness withdrawal
and Norton's candidacy for the nomi.
nation for congress from the third
district, are expected this week.
,Gronna VS. Ladd
With Norton reported out of the
way in the senatorial race and with
Col Frank White|also said to be retir-
ing from the battle for that office,
only two active candidates are left IN
the field, Senator A. s. Gronna, pre-
sent incumbent, and DR.. G. E. Ladd,
league candidate. Gronna, it is eX.
pected, will win a huge slice of the
Nonpartisan league vote as he has a
strong following among the farmers
Of the state. Gronna has denounced
the leaders of the league.
Rumors current in the capitol to
the effect that Obert Olson, state trea
surer, will be a candidate for the re-
publican nomination. for that Office
appear to be more or less reliable
Olson failed to receive the endorse
ment of the !Nonpartisan league con
vention because of i'll feeling between
A. G. Townley and the state treasur.
er. He is one of the most popular
members the present state admins
tration and has a large following III
the country districts.
! Senator Gronna is expected, to ar
rive in the state in few days and
start an active campaign for the re-
publican endorsement at the June pri-
maries.
