to our form of government"
$ Made Break Mt Leith.
The address in which Senator

Senator Cahill is chairman of the
North Dakota smelling committee"

And, whereas, the American
Legion is dedicated to God and our
country and is composed Of men who
fought for this nation and the princi-
pie upon which it is founded.
"And, whereas, the red flag OF

SAYS MINOT' MAN
Halvor Halvorson. Plrorni-
nent Party Man, Sees
Chance for Atty. General

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 8.----If Attor-
ney General "A. Mitchell Ralmer
oesn't7stu his toe he isalikely toGbe.
the democratic nominee for president
md possibly Woodrow Wilson's sue
cessor in the White House, in the
opinion of Halvor HalvorsonAof Minot,
who has long been n Of North Da-
kota's most prominent democrats.
Mr.. Halvorson, who had been in q
hospital here for q week receiving
treatment for a fractured elbow, dis
cussed the national situation while
waiting for a train to carry him to
Fargo yesterday,
Mitchell is man and a fighter"
said Halvorson. He's the sort Of man
the common people{like to meet. l first
his acquaintance at the national
convention in St. Louis. Palmer was
u big man and even then, the head
Of his W state delegation, but he
was always approachable, and I5had a
most enjoyable visit with him. He
has a jaw like Roosevelt had, and
much of the Rough Riders punch;
he's a comparatively young man and
a conner, and if he makes, good on
this cleanup of the reds 3tAere'll be
sue a popular demand for him from
within his party that he can't fail to
win nomination. Then, 1T some man
like johnson, should win the. re-
publican nomination, l believe the
conservative factions of both parties
would rally to Palmer n would
elect him."
Says McAdoo Can't Win. !.
Haivorson hasn't much hopes for
McAdoo. Hes Wilson'S son-in-law, to
begin with, which is nc crime, to be
sure, but Americans are averse to
keeping any Job, and especially the
presidency, in one family. Then his
attitude during thu coal strike, and
his recent declaration iH favor of the
retention OF the railways and for an
industrial democracy will, l believe,
kill him with the big majority OF
nluerlcans who are we'll fed up with
this. sort of thing. Ttsis my humble
personal opinion that we can't win
win McAdoo, and I doubt very much
if he can win the nomination If Pal
mer makes good on this big cleanup
of his and becomes O. candidate.
"falmer, | believe. would make a
wonderful campaigner. He likes to
meet people, knows how to meet
them, and%he leaves a mighty good
impression. To my mind, unless he
should fall down between now and the
date of the. national convention, he is
our one white hope. L don I KNOW ol
a republican now in the field who
could beat Palmer, If he finishes as
well as he started"
