md general factotum for Arthur C.
rOwnley and the league, has been Sc
ected to make the race for United
States senator in preference to Sem
ltor A. J. Gronna, who has played the
eague game up to date.
What influence led to the ditching
of the leagues servant at Washington
is not disclosed, and the fact caused
considerable comment, as it was be-
lieved that Gronna through La Toilette
had sufficient pull to get his shadow
endorsed.
Whether the anti-Townley forces
will endorse anyone for United States
senator is not known. The matter
will be canvassed soon.
Letters received in the state are
speculative upon Gronnas future ac-
tion. 1t is believed that he will file
independently of all factions.
1t is not disclosed how the league
candidates will be filed. In reporting
the nomination. the Courier-News re-
Trained from mentioning the Republi-
can party, but stated that Lynn J. Fra
zier and others had been endorsed by
the Nonpartisan league state conven-
tion and the state convention of the
North Dakota Working Peoples Non
partisan Political alliance.
Judge Nuessle of Bismarck will have
opposition in George X. Foster of this
city former assistant attorney general
and NJ. G. Freerks of Jamestown. He
and Judge Coffey of Jamestown have
announced their candidates..

ment In place of tho Missouri Pacific 4 per

Answer-Your idea of recoupine vour
loss in Missouri Pacific bonds is not u
bad one. You frankly admit that it is
a speculation and that you are not de-
pendent upon the income. We think
the Japanese bonds offer good specu-
lative investment opportunity. We do
not, however, think that the Hudson &,
Manhattan bonds offer any better spec
ulative possibilities than the Missouri
Pacific 4 per cent. The St. Louis &
San Francisco junior liens appear to be
selling at very low levels, as do the
bonds Of the St. Louis Southern. It
may be that as the Hudson & Manhat-
tan is a carrier of passengers onlv.
an increase in rates will not affect
them as much as other roads.
