600: NeW Automobile Con-
cern Purchases Frontage.

Two important sales of Ell Centre
business property were made yester-
day by Greer -Bachman Co. The first
involves the transfer of Block II, Ad-
dition No. 3. fronting on Main street
opposite Wilson grammar school and
bounded on the other fronts by State,
Twelfth and Thirteenth streets. The
property was sold for M. Schlatter
OF He'll street to the Pacific Coast dis
tributors Of one of the leading auto
mobile concerns of the world. For
business reasons the name of the
purchaser is withheld for the present.
But it is assured that they will build
very soon and establish a big distrib-
uting branch to serve Imperial valley.
The consideration in the sale of Mr..
Schlatter's block was $4,000, which
is an indication of the rapid advance
of frontage on the western end of
Main street. The property is located
4 half block east of the site recently
sold to the Whiting Mead Commercial
Co. of San Diego. At the tinle of
their purchase il. was announced that
the big coast building material con-
Germ planned to build soon for a
branch house in Imperial valley.
A few weeks ago W. T. Bill owned
several hundred fees OF frontage on
West Main street. Today Mr.. Bill
does not own foot 1t has all been
transferred within the last few weeks,
each time the consideration in the deal
showing d rapid increase in the value
Of the property.
The second sale yesterday involves
the transfer of the east half of Block
a31A, Ell Centre city, The block is
bounded by Olive, Brighton, Third
and New streets, and has a railway
siding running through it north to
south. 1t is considered very valuable
commercial property because OF the
trackage facilities. The conIadera-
tion for this property was $4,000, and
the new owner considers that bar
gain price.
The sale was made for w. I. Bill,
and the new owner is Wayne. Hood
vi the p NJ. Dairy association whose
headquarters are in San Diego. MIR.
Hood already owned the southwest
parter of the same block but decided
i, was not enough space for his pur-
nose and purchased the. east half in
order to carry out his plans for i'm
provements. He contemplates the be-
ginning of building operations in the
near future.
The deal with Mr.. Hood was closed
in record time. Mr.. Bill telegraphed
the local firm last night to sell the
property. Thirty minutes after re-
ceiving the telegram the purchaser
had been found and the telegram sent

A N IT o T WAYS.

Socialist leaders have created in
this state a political organization
known as the Nonpartisan league.
Because they did not wish to be sub
jected to legal regulations Of n
kind they RETAINED from listing their
society in accordance with law as a
political party. The laws Of North
Dakota on the subject of political
parties are liberal enough in all
conscience. but they are based on the
theory that a political party Is a
democratic organization whose au-
thortty is vested in the mass Of its
membership. to be delegated in GER
tain measure and for certain pur-
poses to representatives chosen by
h actual party members and none
others. How far the law falls short
of fulfilling that intent is another
story.
But Mr.. Townley is not addicte,
to democracy Or to representative
government. In any organization In
which he figures he must be the
source Of all authority, and any au-
thority that he delegates invariably

THE PARTIES IN THE WAR,

During the entire period of Ameri-
can participation in the great war
the Democratic party had control OF
the presidency and of congress. Two
years ago., Just before the election oil
1918, President Wilson issued his
celebrated appeal to the country to
return a Democratic congress as an
endorsement of the war measures
for which he gave his party credit,
and in order hat he might be able
to proceed without embarrassment
in winding up the war activities and
laying the basis for peace. In n
present campaign Democratic speak
ers are claiming for the party credit
for winning the war, and support at
the party's presidential candidate is
urged as a patriotic duty.
The answer of the country to MI.
Wilson's partisan appeal was prompt
and decisive. Control of both
branches of congress was taken away
from the Democratic party and it a
do no harm now to refer to the facts
on which the verdict was based
In the war congress, though the
Democrats had a majority Of more
than ten votes in the house, the Re-
publicans cast more votes for eight
major war bills than the Democrats.
In 26 of these war not. a
single Republican vote was cast
against any measure, and in all of
these ballots the Republicans voted
almost their total strength.
The vote for the draft bill stood:
For: Republicans, POI; Democrats,
1s1. Against: Republicans. 8; Demo-
Gratis, 16. In these Is Democratic
votes against the man power bill are
included Randall, prohibitionist, and
London, Socialist, who at that time
were trailing with the Demotrats on
nearly all legislation.
On all bills to supply revenue for
prosecuting the war the Republicans
cast larger percentages of votes than
the Democrats.
On the draft bill of April, 1917,
Representative Dent of Alabama, the
chairman of the house military af-
fairs committee, actually brought
into the house a minority report
against the measure and Representa-
tive Kahn of California, member of
the committee, had to report the bill
to the house. taxi charge Of it, and
put it through the house in lace OF
the active opposition Of Chairman
Dent. Speaker Clark and Democratic
Leader Kitchin fought the draft bill
to the last ditch on the floor. These
three Democratic house leaders did
their best to defeat the measures be-
ing taken to raise an army to defend
their country from the enemy.
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1920-10-16

fore he would not consent that the
Nonpartisan league, which is a po-
litical party in fact, should be or
ganized as one in law.
Mr.. Townley's position in this was
legally without flaw. There can be
no question of the right Of any num-
Der of persons to associate them
for political or other purposes with
out the Formally of registering their
society as a political party. No one
questions that right. But Mr.. Town
ley and his associates want to have
it both ways. They propose to avoid
the duties, obligations and restric-
tons which are imposed on legal
political parties, and at the same
time to enjoy all the benefits which
regular political parties enjoy.
There have been numerous illus
trations of this, and we have anothc
just now in the demand tina a sep
arate column on the official ballot be
assigned to N~onpartisan league can
didates who have e. nominated by
individual petitions rather than by
the primary election method.
At the recent primary election the
league had in the field a complete
ticket of candidates for nominations
on the Republican list for all state
Offices. Some of these candidates
were successful: others were de-
feated. Where league candidates
were defeated for the party nominal
ton individual nominations have
beenmade Of candidates who are now
running in opposition tt the party
nominees for those particular offices.
and Townley's spokesman are de-
manding a separate column on the
ballot for these candidates.

that the subject will be thoroughly
ventilated when congress meets in
December.

The coal situation continues to be
observed with anxiety. Persons VINO
have keen ~recollections of fuel short
ages in other recent years are won
dering if we are to pass through sim
liar experiences this winter. Assur-
ances are given by persons who ought
to be we'll informed that the supply
of coal will be ample if reasonable
care is exercised in its use, and If
proper measures are taken for its
prompt and equitable distribution.
About the only concrete and indls-
putable fact which the average man
can understand readily is that more
coal, both hard and soft, III been
mined his year han last. On this
basis the plain citizen seems to be
assured of a moderate suppEy-if he
has the price.
Terms of peace between Poland
and Soviet Russia have been agreed
upon. The treaty just negotiated at
Riga is to go into effect on October
is, and it is pointed out that this
will leave the Bolsheviki without
menace from any armed force other
than thai Of General Wrangel in the
south. Wrangel has made consider
able Roadway, but it remains to be
seen how the relief of the Soviet au-
tocracy from other will affect
the situation in his district. The re-
lations between Poland and Lithuan-
ia appear to yield less readily to
treatment, and the capture OF Wilma
from the Lithuanians and the dec
lara,ion of a new state with Wilma as
it's capital adds to the complications
in the Baltic provinces.
England faces a great strike Of coal
day. AS one Of the preparatory
measures for coping with the diff
Guilty the government has ordered
an embargo on the expectation of
coal. This will afford a measure of
relief to domestic industry, but it will
impose hardship on foreigners who
have looked to The British mines for a
large share Of their fuel supply, and
who stand in very intimate trade re-
lations to the British nation. One
sinister aspect of the situation is the
apparent purpose of those al the head
Of the strike to use it as a means
for forcing a political revolution, a
course which the government is bound
to resist, and which it has declared
that it will resist at any cost.
