north pole, who died yesterday In Wash
ingtOn.

embittered by the controversy aroused by
DR.. Frederick Cook, who In my mind was
undoubtedly an impostor. I had admired
Admiral Peary's indomitable spirit from
youth. I met him last in San Francisco

entry into the war. The announcement
OF his death causes me the greatest sor-

4 OF HIS POWER
Statement That He Prefers
Untrammeled Convention
Goes Unchallenged.
5ORD TALKS FOR HIM
Hy Staff CORRESPONDENT.

NEW YORK. Feb. 21.-William G.
HcAdoo continues to be regarded as
he most serious menace to the re-
publican chances of success in the
November election and his recent
statement that he preferred to see
sthe next democratic ns tiOnai con-
Eention composed of untrammeled
men and women bound to no particu-
lar candidate and allowed to express
their preferences freely through the
abolition of the unit rule has in
creased rather than decreased the
republican fear of him as the demo
cratic nominee.
It is the consensus Of opinion among
the republican leaders of the country
who have been here since the statement
wss Issued that AIcAdoo strengthened
his position materially by that state

M"Adoo well enough to call him Mac" :"

Instructions to delegates than McAdoe.
He certainly knows that he is the most
logical man for the nomination and he
Is shrewd enough to realize that it will
come to him without effort if the demo-
Gratis exercise any real judgment"
Among the democrats the statement
was taken at its full face value. To
them it meant just what is said: That
McAdoo would not seek the nomination

him nor would he refuse TO put all his

NIAAGUAG USED TO
CLARITY THOUGHT.
His more intimate friends in New York
recall that he has told them often that
he regarded the English language as
a means of expressing, not cOncealing
thought and they point out that there
was nothing in his statement that con-
cealed anything from those who read
It. They are today speculating on what
kind of a campaign McAdoo will wage
when he comes back from San Francisco
as the party nominee.
Some idea of the forthcoming fight can
be obtained from an interview which was
obtained with Mr.. McAdoo recently by E
western newspaper man. To him Mr.. Nc
Adoo said:
"The democratic party today is en-
titled to the offensive and I have little
sympathy with any one who attempts to
place it on the defense. 1t has been the
party of achievement throughout the pc
riod of the nations history when the
United States played its greatest part in
the affairs Of the world. Doubtless soms
mistakes were made in the conduct of
the war. The task was too big to be &C.
complished without some errors. But the
fact remains that the resources Of this
nation were mobilized in time to end the
war long before it was deemed possible
by the allies, and the democratic party
did it. That kind of a record needs no
defense.
"Since the armistice was signed and
the republican congress came into power
achievements have stopped The peace
treaty is at a standstill and I can not
believe that the republicans themselves

NON-PARTISAN
BANKING LAWS
Amendments Passed in North Dakota,
Blamed by League Members
For Closing Up Of
Banks,

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
FARGO, N. D., Nov. 23.-Increased
bitterness in the political situation in
North Dakota resulted today from
the closing of nine banks in the state.
Non-partisan leaders claimed the
closing Of the banks was caused by
passing an amendment at the last
election repeating the non-partisan
law requiring deposit Of all public
funds in state owned banks, which re-
deposited in small banks.
League opponents said the reason
was the failure Of the grain crops and
tight money market, attributing little
Importance to the withdrawal Of pub
lie moneys.
Banks in the western part Of the
safe, where tho failures were re-
ported, received about 100000 more
in re-deposits than similar institu-
tions in other parts of the state.
These funds have been withdrawn
and the farmers are unable to pay
