FRAZIER NOMINATED
LADD BEATS CR0NNA

Fargo, N. D., July 5.-(Special)
indications are that when all re.
turns from last Wednesdays primary
election have been received, Lynn
J. Frazier, N~onpartisan, will have a
majority of more than 5000 for the
Republican gubernatorial nomination
I'VE William LANCER, Independent
candidate.
The nomination of DR.. E. F. Laid,
president of the Agricultural college
for United States senator to succeed
A. j.. Gronna, who was a candidate
to succeed himself, also is apparent
on the figures at hand and his major
ity may exceed that of Frazier's.
Two serious upsets for the league,
however, have been brought to light.
In the First North Dakota
sional district, John M. Baer, leag-
uer, has been defeated by o. B. Burt
ness, while in the Second North Da-
kota district, George Young had been
nominated to succeed himself in op-
position to Thomas Pendray, Lacquer.
Young has a majority of approx
mately 1890, while Burtness has a
majority of approximately 1900.
Two sets of tabulated returns on
the gu%bernatorial counts show the
trend. One maintained by newspap-
ers Independent of the Nonpartisan
league, gives Frazier a lead of 1,4O4
1924 out of 1904 precincts in
state, while a tabulation main
tanned by the Nonpartisan league
headquarters, with the same number
precincts reported, gives Frazier
4 lead of 1929. The difference lies
n the fact that in the independent
.,abulation, most of the territory to
heard from lies in strong league
Counties, and the independent news
'apers estimated Frazier's final ma
ority at around 5000, while the
eague tabulation indicates a final
majority of around 5000.
The league ticket drew especially
leavy support from the far western
ounties, its biggest majorities being
'olled in Williams, Divide, Mercer.
DUNN, Mountrail, Mckenzie, Sheri-
an, Wells and several others in that
egion.

Sketch of James M. Cox
the Democratic Nominee

James Middleton Cox was three
times governor of Ohio-an honor
enjoyed by only one other Ohioan
Rutherford B. Hayes.
Born on a farm, educated in the
public schools, a printers devil. q
school teacher, a newspaper reporter
a private secretary to a congressman
owner, manager and proprietor of
two newspapers, member of Congress
for three years and three times row
ernor of his state is his record to
date.
Business success p~aralleled his DO
litical achievements and through
his own efforts Cox has amassed a
fortune. Mr.. Cox became the leader
of the Democratic party in Ohio in
1912 when he was nominated for
governor. AS one who has brought
radical changes in the state consti-
tuition, he took the field in its behalf.
His first term as governor was de-
voted chiefly to forwarding the en-
actment laws to put the new state
constitution into effect.
But Ohio evidently was not prepar
ed to assimilate all the new laws for
Cox was defeated for reelection.
But his party renominated and elect
ed him in 1916 and he was re-elect-
ed for a third term in 1918, being
the only Democrat to win in Ohio.
Legislation for which Governor
Cox is best known includes a model
workmen's compensation law and a
child labor law which have been ex-
tensively copied by other states.
Educators of the country say the
Ohio school code, enacted under Gov
ernor Cox's direction, will live as a
monument to his achievements.
Mr.. Cox was born in Butler coun-
ty, Ohio, in 1870. He attended dis
5rict school and held his first posi-
ton as a teacher of the school in
which he took his first lessons. He
spent his evenings and holidays in a
office. In a few years he
received his first assignment on the
'eportorial staff of the Cincinnati
enquirer.
After 10 years with the Enquirer,
went to Washington as a private
.ecretary to Congressman Paul Sore
f Ohio. At the close of this service,
e purchased the Dayton Daily News,
,orrowing most of the money to pay
or it. Later he purchased the
springfield Daily News. He was first
to Congress in 1908. ]

NO FINAL PROOF DELAY
ON ACCOUNT OF OIL

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in Mon
tana will not be delayed in making
final proof on account of the discov-
cry O. oil in Montana, but make
immediate final proof must waive
their rights to oil, gas and minerals,
according to advices received from
the interior department by the Mon
tana Development association.
That the discovery of oil in the
state did not come as an unmixed
blessing was evidenced when home
steaders learned that they could not
make final proof on their land until
after the government has completed
a field examination to ascertain
whether there was any likelihood of
there being oil or gas beneath it.
Homesteaders who were anxious to
better finance themselves through
making final proof and borrowing
money on their land protested thai
the delay which field examination
would entail would be almost ruin
Gus to their prospects, and the De-
yelopment association took the mat
ter up Immediately with Senator T.
j. Walsh and the department of the
interior in the hope of getting some
relief for the homesteaders.
The effort was not entirely unsuc-
cessful as the association is advised
that registrars at the various land Of
flee in Montana would be instructed
that the final certificate should be is
sued Immediately in spite of protest
by reason of the oil character of the
land, provided the entryman signed
a waiver of oil and mineral rights.
"The government is really giving
the homesteader more than he origi-
nally bargained for" said E. j. Nc
Lean, registrar of the U. S. Land
Office in this city, "as the homestead
er is given the preferential right to
lease his own land. This, substan-
TALLY, is as good a right as that held
by anyone owning land. This right
remains vested in the homesteader
regardless of his waiver of oil rights
to the land and enables him to profit
from the discovery of oil on his land
in the same degree as would any
other land owner.
"The homesteader originally only
bargained with the government for
farming land. He did not want it
for mineral or oil. Under the new
~land-leasing bill, the government in I:
sists upon being paid a royalty on
the oil taken from the land and such
a stipulation, in my opinion, is not T:
unjust. The homesteader does not +:
need to be delayed in making his !:
final proof, and if there is oil on his +:
land, he has first chance at it through +:
his preferential lease right"
The preference right, which the /:
homesteader acquires under the land ::
leasing law, gives him 80 days dur (:
ing which to file after any individual +:
or corporation has applied for a (:
lease on the land, or he may lease /:
the land on his own initiative. :

1860 CONVENTION IN CHICAGO WAS
HISTORIC ONE, NOMINATING LINCOLN
Concerning Present One Recalls Famous Before Civil
War; Lincoln Selected Third Ballot First Convention at
Which Telegraph Used; Convention Charged
cifp

coins prospects appeared small enough
before the convention opened. The
favorite was William H. Seward, SEN
ator from New York. He had a great
asset in the ability of Thurlow Weed,
who prosecuted his campaign among
the delegates. He suffered handicap
in the determined opposition of Horace
Greeley, the famous New York editor,
who had no candidate of his own but
refused to have Seward. Both Greeley
and Weed were early on the ground
and according to Mr.. Woods review.
the centers of interest. He notes, how
ever, that other, and n-political at
fractions were numerous, among them
being Zouaves, circus band, minstrels,
and such well known theatrical pieces
of the day as ."Lucretia Borgia' and
"The Hidden Hand"
The slavery issue came up quickly
on the first day of the convention when
David Wilmot Of Pennsylvania on tax
ing the chair as temporary chairman
made ten-minute anti-slavery speech.
"No extension of slavery" became an
essential part of the platform next
day.
In view of the many days now spent
in hearing delegate contests, this con-
vention of so years ago offered some
thing novel There were no contested
delegates. There were, however, some
"contesting" states. Whether to adj
nit Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky and
Texas was question that occupied
most of the first day and was still I'M
decided when adjournment came for
the day.
The next day the convention decided
to admit the "border states" The
platform committee then brought in
its report. 1t was amended to include
reassertion of the "self evident
truths" of the Constitution. At adj
iournment little remained beyond

CHICAGO. May 1S.-The converting
of the republicans in Chicago, June
6, to. nominate a candidate for presi-
dent recalls afresh at this time the
republican convention opening here
so years ago which nominated Abra-
ham Lincoln. This was the second ma
tional republican convention and the
first of the many which have since
been held in Chicago.
The convention assembled on May
16, 1860, and Lincoln was nominated
on May 10. the third and last day.
After his election feeling aroused by
the slavery issue ran quickly into civil
war.
Relics of the campaign of 1860 in
Guiding the oil painting of the rail
splitter" are. preserved by the Chi
cago Historical society. E. E. Wood,
field secretary Of the society, has just
prepared what he regards as the most
compile account of the events of the
convention of 60 years ago. In this
ne calls attention to Addison G. Proc
tor, of Ann Arbor, Mich. who, Mr..
Woods believes, is the only surviving
delegate of the convention.
Chicago in 1860 was promising
city of 10000 not quite rs years old.
1t had won the convention by the offer
to build the largest assembly hall in
the country and fill it at every session.
Accordingly the "Wigwam" arose at
the southwest corner of Lake and
Market streets, occupying a space 10C
by $50 feet. 1t was a temporary
wooden structure costing a little oven
the estimated $4,000. The balance was
made up by charging 25 cents admis.
sion on it's formal opening the Satur-
day before the convention.
Few republican conventions, if any
have been so charged with excitement
or had so spectacular an ending. Lin

1000 CARS READY
FOR HARVEST
Continued from Page One)

fore shipments are so much in excess
of the incoming cars that this surplus
will be eaten into.
Distributors today believe that the
railroads will be able to furnish them
between 5000 and 1000 cars. Coupled
with the decrease in the size of the
estimated crop and the measure taken
at the annual cantaloupe shippers
meeting to relieve the shortage, it is
believed the two vital points. cars
needed and cars available, will be
brought closer together.
The annual influx of labor is under
way. Every train into the valley
brings its scores of japanese workers
and also many Americans.
The first crate, "flat,' containing
about eight or ten melons. left the
valley May II. Last Friday the first
standard crate left by express for the
east. Since then express shipments
have been increasing daily until the
first car is but matter of hours.

BASIC CHARGES
LAID TO PENROSE

WASHINGTON, May 18.-Sec.
Daniels today testified further before
the senate committee Investigating
the navy conduct during the war. He
said that Senator Penrose, republican,
and Adviral Sims originated the basic
charges against the department. He
pointed out that Penrose made charges
on the floor of the senate in language
almost identical with Sims letter of a
year later.
