S,tn Francisco. July Ex-senator
Hiram Johnson today issued state
mcnt declaring himself supporter
OF tho Republican party and its nom
iuces. The statement said:
For more than y year the con.
test over the Presidents League Of
Nations has been waged i'll Con
gross. 1t has boon the, all engros-
sing and paramount issue. or ncccs-
si;y this issue came to the conycn-
tions OF the great political parties.
Beth Republicans and Democrats in
their platforms have INDUCED in
thu usual political verbosity. but
nevertheless these platforms, in di-
rect opposition TO each other, sharp
" define and clearly present tho
question for decision in the Novcm
Der election.
The Republican party DECLARED
that the Presidents covenant failed
SlgnIlly to accomplish ITS purpose
and contained atipulations not only
lH'olcrablc for an independent poo
Pic. but certain to produce the in
justice, hostility and controversy
among nations which it. proposed to
prevent, and repudiatcd to a degree
wholly Unnecessary aud unjustifi.
able the time honored policies in fay
or peace declared by WASHINGTON.
Jefferson and Monroe.
The Democratic party on The 9th
'er hand, rejected every effort to modi
fy or qualify the Presidents propos.
cd League OF Nations, indorscd tho
Presidents attitude and took its po-
sit'on in favor OF the league as pro
Sentcd. II is true that the Dcmocra.
rats in an effort to placate. say
something about reservations which
might mako clearer or more spcci.
IL tho obligations OF the United
Stacs, hut the language is meaning
less and does not at all alter tho
essential position of the Democratic
party for the league, as presented.
The two parties acted in similar
fashion in one respect but from DIFF
erent motives and for different reas
ons. Both rejected the pleas for the
adoption of the league with reseryn
lions Tho Democrats because thew
were for the league as presented.
and the Republicans because no res.
orFatlons devised by tho human mind
Could anticipate tho contingencies
WI Gil might arise in the future from
on instrument Of such potential pos
sibiiiies for harm.
UP TO THE PEOPLE TO DECIDE
Thus the issue finally comes from
the forum Of Congress- to tho final
o:bietrament Of the American peo.
pie Of the oyershadowing question in
the campaign therefore, is whether
we enter the maestrom of Durop can
and Asintic politics and diplomacy

Injunction against tic consolida-
ton Of the Westmorcland and Com
monwcalth Clubs were denied yestor
day in the Law and Equity Court by
Judge Ernest ii. Wells sitting for
lodge beverly ~ Crhmp. The injunc
ton was sought by Attorney Edwin
p. Cox for Mcriwether Jones and
was directed against both clubs.
Judge Wells refused tho injunc'
zion on the grounds that the subject
matter in tho injunction proceeding
did not como under tho jurisdiction
OF the court and was properly undor
the jurisdiction OF the Virginia State
Corporation Commissions. Attorney
Cox declared after the hearing that
tho matter will be taken to tho Su.
preme Court of Virginia at once for
action.
Colonel Henry W. Anderson repre-.
scented the Westmorcland Club at tho
hearing yesterday afternoon, and
George Taylor, appeared for the com
mGnwealth club.
DECLARES ILLEGALITIES USED
Mr. Cox argued that the measure
f merger, which was voted on by
tho members of the Wcstmoreland
Club Thursday night, was illegally
passed and not in accordance with
the constitution OF the organization,
and would thereby be grounds for in
junction proceedings
1t was further argued that tho Of.
Ulcers fthe organization were spend
ms the money OF the club in attcmpi
ing to merge the two Institutions
Colonel Anderson answered M:.
CoX's ARGUMENTS at some length, first
declaring that the total amount OF
money spent by the club In crlccting
the merger totaled about $426 or an
EroAlmately l cent per member
Coionol Anderson brought to tho
attention OF the court certain laws
when he quoted to show that tho
matter was out OF the Jurisdiction OF
the court and for this reason that
10 injonction would be granted
| When he continued his explanation
Judge Wells interrupted him and said
! mat If his point was we'll taken
| there was no more reason for hsi
/ 'hi thSi aiSuifclitS OH INC matter II
, be heard. Mr.. Cox then answered tho
| argument Of Colonel Anderson.
GOES TO SUPREME COURT
After the hearing Mr.. Cox declared
| that the matter will be taken to tho
! Supreme Court Of Virginia in an Of
fort to prohibit the merger.
In his argument Mr. Cox declared
: that the membership of the Common
! wealth club will meet tonight to
: consider the proposed merger and
! that in case the merger is favorably
. acted upon by that body 1t will form
: 4 contract which will bind both:
!: George Bryan president Of the West
morelsnd Club was pasent at tho
meeting.
Members Of the board OF directors
of the Commonwealth Club will meet
This afternoon to consider the agree
ment of merger before it goes to the
membership tonight.

Hidden HOME, M'KINLEY TWP.
HELD UP BY MASKED ROBBERS

there was no money in the place.
Next the robbers proposed to take the
victims to the outside and shoot them.
Another proposal was to set fire to the
house, leaving the two men to perish
in the flames. Hidden and the other
were cuffed about and roughly used
and considerably alarmed as to the
outcome Of the adventure but contin-
ued to assure the bandits that there
was no money in the house. One yegg
then demanded to see the bank book
and it was produced, proving Hilden's
story.
The robbers finally departed, open
ing the windows but locking the doors
and leaving the two men bound and
in evident danger of freezing. The
strangers had an automobile with a
strong spotlight and went away in the
direction of Minot, so Hidden says. All
three were young men.
Hidden believes that one Of the rob-
bers was the man who robbed his
house last fall and who. it is stated,
served a term in Jail afterward, the
stolen money and check, being recov-
cred.
A few days ago an automobile with
a spotlight was stolen in Minot and
it is believed the car used in the Hill
den affair was possibly the same.

No trace has been discovered of the
three masked men who held up the
]. Hidden bachelor home in Mckinley
t0wnhsip 10 or IL miles northeast of
Minot Sunday evening, tied the two
occupants, threatened them with tor
ture and escaped with $50 fur coat
leaving the helpless men to freeze.
However, Hidden and his companion
managed to work themselves free from
their bonds before they froze attic
they were badly chilled by the time
they extricated themselves. The same
in cash and $3.50 check.
Hidden and his companion were alone
in the house about 8 p. M. Sunday
when stranger came in and asked
concerning some person. The name
given, which is believed to be fictitious,
was not familiar to the occupants Of
the house so the stranger departed.
In about Is minutes he reappeared
with two companions, all masked with
handkerchiefs over their faces. They
were armed and while one. held a
weapon, the others tied Hidden and his
companion and then demanded their
money. The two gave up small sums
they had but declared there was no
more about the place, Hidden saying
his money was in the bank.
The bandits proceeded to threats Of
torture if more money was not forth
coming, one ordering comrade to
place the poker in the stove to heat
and the other to remove the mems
shoes. Despite this alarming move,
the bound men stoutly maintained that

WILL E. H0LBEIN RESIGNS AS
SEC'Y OF ASSN OF COMMERCE

Will E. Holben, secretary Of the
Association of Commerce for the past
five years, has rendered his resigna-
ton to the Board of Directors to take
effect Jan. 1, at which. time he will
begin upon his duties as secretary Of
the North Dakota Good Roads Asso-
citation
Mr.. Holbein attended a meeting of
the officers and directors Of the Good
Roads Association at Valley City last
week, at which time. the position of
permanent secretary was offered him.
Mr. Holbein will locate in Bismarck
which city, for the sake Of conven-
;ence, will be the headquarters of the
North Dakota Good Roads Association
He is now arranging for Offices in that
city.
The resignation of Mr.. Holbein
came as a complete surprise, even to
his most intimate friends. The di-
rectors Of the Association Of Com
merce, while very reluctant to part
with his services, realized that the new
position furnishes Mr.. Holbein with a
greater opportunity for advancement,
as we'll as it carries with it larger
salary.
Mr.. Holbein has taken great inter-
est in the good roads movement in
North Dakota. He has preached the
gospel Of better roads and has been
foremost in putting number Of good
roads projects thru 1t is generally
conceded that he can do more towards
working out program Tor better
roads in North Dakota than any other
man who might be selected.
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1920-12-09

As Secretary Of the Minot Associa-
ton Of Commerce "Bill" Holbein has
given the city splendid service. He
has been responsible for building up
the Association until it is now one Of
the largest and strongest in the state.
He organized the Minot Town Criers
Club which has become a powerful
factor in our city. Every good move
ment in Minot for the past five years
has had the support Of Mr.. Holbein
He is a man Of far more than the
ordinary executive ability. Not only
is he hard worker himself, but he
knows how to get the other fellow to
work.
"Bill" Holbein will be missed from
Minot, and it will be sometime before
a successor is secured who will be
able to handle his position in so cap
able manner as he has done. The
Board of Directors have made no sell
ection for his successor up to this
time.

Dainty Leona Earl, At Cay.
ETY., Sure Dodgers Will
Win; Is New Yorker.

We've been told the truth about
who is going to win the world Sc
ries.
When the interviewing reporter
asked Miss -Leona Earl. dainty in
genue dancer at the Gayety this
week, who she fancied had the best
chance to grab the worlds premier
baseball laurels, she looked up in
surprise and said:
why Brooklyn, of course"
When asked about how 1t was
that the Indians put the first game
away in their bat bags, she coun-
tered by saying: We'll, what han
pened today?" And we must admit
that a three-to-nothing victory for
the Dodgers cannot be overlook ed.
1t is very likely a mighty good
thing for the Powder Puff Revue
that it is not playing in New York
this week, or there would have been
few matinees when little Miss
Leona, instead of being on the stage
dancing her way into the hearts of
her audience. would have been

ers from the grand stand in Flat.
