He told the committee that the navy
was without sufficient men when the
war began. "
If we had been up against Germany
at the outbreak Of the war" he said.
I'VE would have been paying in1emH-

: Devils Lake, n. D.. March 2G.,-
The supreme court Of the Unite.l
States has recently affirmed. on ap-
peal from the supreme court of North
Dakota, decision Of Judge G. W
Buttx Of Devils Lake in case aris
ing In Benson county wherein it was
held that when one files on govern

right Of the public to use the section

ed at millions Of dollars. The action
came from Lallie township. a thinly
populated portion Of the Indian reset.
walton.
The township board refused to al
low damages for land taken in open
ing a road on a section line that cut
through the center Of a farm. Ju1ga
Buttz held that when congress in
1865 granted a right of way over the
public domain for the construction OF
highways and in 1871 the Territory of
Dakota accepted that grant the, right
of the public became fixed and that
such roads might he opened without
the payment Of damages or cOmpensa-
tion to anyone; that one filing on
government subject to that right in
the public. The case went to the su-
preme court Of the state and thence
to the supreme court Of the United
States.
From West Bay township. in the
same county, comes another road case
OF equal Importance. In this case the
question arises whether it is neces-
sary to have any proceedings before
the township board to open a road on
the section line. This was also trie'l
before Judge Buttz and recently sub
mitted. The township contends all
section lines are public roads without
any such proceedings. The court has
the case under adyisement.

questing me to announce my

II wish to make one thing
clear and that is that l am
not seeking the office. If
the people Of this state be-
lieve that any other man
