OAKES WINS
FIRST GAME,
Local Ball Tossers Humble Crete
Aggregation in Opening Con-
test Last Sunday
OUR BOYS MAKE GOOD SHOWING
Heavy Batting, Principally Responsible
for Easy Victory

The Oakes base ball team have
played their first game of the season
and been returned winners. Last
Sunday the boys motored over to
Crete, always hard nut for the locals
to crack, and romped home with the
long end of 12 to 5 score.
In spite of the many runs scored,
the game was an interesting one, be-
ing marred only by the huge clouds of
sand blown over the diamond inter
mittently and the vociferous kicking
of the Crete pitcher. His outbursts
were not taken very seriously by the
umpires, however, and nobody was
buried as a result of the noise.
"Christy" has about so much to say
every game and cannot settle down
to business until he gets it off his
chest. When thoroughly relieved, he
pitches nice game of ball. Hereaf-
ter when Oakes and Crete indulge in
a contest we humbly suggest that he
and Carl Bowerman have the power
of their vocal organs reduced some
what through the medium of muzzles
applied just under their nasal protub-
erances. If that was done, however,
we presume the two boys would be
unable to stand the strain, and their
"boilers" might burst.
One of the most pleasing features
of the first game was the hitting abil-
ity exhibited by the newly organized
Oakes team. Every man in the line
up connected safely at least once, and
if they will keep up that pace we can
see trouble for lot of ball clubs this
year. With Fisher working we'll the
opposition is going to be lucky to get
two scores, and it won't take many
hits to overcome this. Kahl pitched
three innings and displayed lot of
stuff. Properly handled, this young
ster should prove valuable mate to
Fisher, whose class is unquestioned.
Local business men and fans will
back the boys to the limit if they will
get out every day and practice, and
this city will be assured good ar
title of base ball.
Next Sunday Oakes will meet ver-
ona on the home grounds. Following
is the box score:

WILL SELECT HEAD OF TICKET
Much Interest in Outcome of Minot
Convention

Republicans hopeful of being able to
bring about harmony of action in the
framing of state and congressional
ticket for the June primaries met at
Minot yesterday. Party leaders had
been arriving in the city since Mon
day morning, with the bulk Of the
delegates not being due until late yes
terday afternoon and last night.
The convention opened Wednesday
morning at 10 o'clock in the Minot
high school auditorium. A meeting
was also held by the republican state
organization for the formulation Of
campaign plans, while the executive
committee Of the Independent Voters
association will also convene. Repub-
lican delegates to the national con-
vention at Chicago held session on
Tuesday evening.
One of the most remarkable fea-
tures Of the convention is the lack of
candidates for Office other than those
seeking the gubernatorial nomina-
tion. According to the present out
look, the ticket will in the main be
made up of drafted candidates.
Considerable interest centered in
30 50 & ;s.si.sinsf over the Golden
Valley county delegation. The first
party on hand is headed by w. r.
Gushing of Beach, while another del
egation of five members put in their
appearance Tuesday afternoon. The
issue involved is that of the regular
ity of the two conventions. The Cush-
ing delegation was selected at meet
ing held May 1 at the call of Mr..
Gushing as chairman Of the l. V. A.
unit. The second convention was call
ed by j. H. Reeve, republican county
chairman. The Reeve delegation will
urge that conventions should be called
by the chairman, while the Gushing
adherents will oppose this plea on the
ground that Mr.. Reeve personally par
ticipated in the first convention.
Treadwell Twichell, chairman of the
republican state central committee,
called the convention to order.
No plan Of procedure for forming a
temporary organization has been
worked out. Preliminary discussion
largely centers around the LANCER
candidacy, and so far as is apparent
on the surface there has been no shift
in the relative position of the several
candidates for governor. Delegates
are bent upon bringing out the strong
est possible ticket.

WILL SOUND KEY NOTE
Famous Senator to Inject Peace
Treaty into Campaign

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Mas
sachusetts, republican senate leader
and author of the Lodge reservations
to the league of nations covenant, will
sound the key note of the coming
presidential campaign at the republi-
can national convention in Chicago
June 8.
The committee on arrangements
selected Senator Ledge for temporary
chairman and voted to recommend to
the convention that someone else be
chosen permanent chairman to relieve
Mr.. Lodge of the strain of directing
the entire convention. Four years ago
Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio
filled both positions.
The committees recommendation,
according to several committeeman,
probably will pave the way for the
selection of former Senator Albert J..
Beveridge of Indiana as permanent
chairman.
The name Of Senator Borah, can
didate for the supporters of Senator
Hiram w. johnson for permanent
chairman, was not mentioned during
the discussion, according to Fred
Upham, national treasurer.
Chairman Will H. Hayes, of the
national committee, reported on con-
ferences held last week with senate
leaders at Washington, where Sen
ator Lodges selection was urged by
Senators Knox, Brandegee and 9TH
ers.
Party leaders said the league of
nations fight undoubtedly would be
touched on by Senator Lodge, and
that plank endorsing the peace
treaty and the league covenant with
the reservations voted by the repub-
lican majorities in congress would be
inserted in the platform.

expected that the president and his
advisers would take up the Mexican
situation.
A dispatch sent by agents of the
Mexican revolutionists in Washington
to agents of the movement at Ell Paso
Texas, said activities of the Carranza
forces in the region about Tampico
We're causing the American govern
nent considerable concern.
The revolutionary government in
Mexico will ask for immediate recog-
milton by the American government.
A movement to this end already has
been inaugurated by the revolutionary
regime.
While the advices coming through
from Mexico on the revolutionary sit
uation there are fragmentary and con-
f1icting they cast considerable doubt
on the reports that President Carran-
"a has been made prisoner.
A Vera Cruz dispatch from the
newspaper rDietamen, member of
the Associated Press, bearing Mon
days date, declared the fugitive pres
ident of the republic, who was maxi
ing an effort to reach Vera Cruz, had
broken through the revolutionary
lines and was standing at bay with
1000 men at San Marcos, 27 miles
north of Puebla.
On the other hand, the revolution
ary leaders along the border still are
claiming that Carranza has been made
a captive, naming the place of his
capture as point near Apizaco, in
the state of Hidalgo. These reports,
however, gave few details of the cap
ture except to declare that the entire
convoy had been taken with the pres
ident, that three generals who were
with him had been executed and an
other general wounded.
1t was added that President Carran-
"a had been ordered returned to Mex
leo City with all consideration and
that none of his party were to be kill
ed or mistreated.
1t would appear, however, even pre-
supposing the accuracy of the reports
that Carranza is still at liberty, that
the situation he finds himself in is
preearious. Government troops in
Vera Cruz have deserted their COM
mander, General Candido Augilar, the
governor of the state, and gone over
to the revolutionists, making that
state no longer a safe refuge for the
fugitive president.
In addition, revolutionary forces
under Generals Hill and Trevino were
reported closing in on Carranza near
San Marcos. Other reports declared
General Aguilar, Carranza's son-in-
law, had lost his life in the fighting
between loyal forces and revolution
lists in Vera Cruz state.
Mexico City dispatches report the
situation there as quiet with the
troops Of General Obregon in full pos
session. All Mexico, in fact, with the

HAMMOND RECOVERING NIGEL Y
Expects to Be Out of Hospital in a
Short Time Now

One of the Oakes boys is in receipt
of the following letter from Frank
Hammond this week. The letter con-
ta!ns the pleasing information that
Mr.. Hammond expects to be out of
the hospital in a few weeks:
Walter Reed Hospital,
Washington, d. G.
May 3, 1920.
Dear Friepd:
have few moments to spare so
think | will drop you a line.
We had couple OF three weeks of
bad weather here but it is fine the last
week now. l have been out automo-
bile riding couple of times now. Had
fine time, too. Am up walking on
cru5ches again and am all healed up
and all through with operations, un-
less something breaks down again.
Am going to Atlantic City Thursday
with four other fellows from the hos
pital here.
] was figuring on taking 3O-day
furlough as soon as | got all healed
but Mrs. Claff from Washington
comes through the hospital every few
days and brings out cats and gives
t. Joy rides, and she is getting up q
little party to take down to Atlantic
City for two weeks vacation, so as
long as she wants to do that,
thought I'd go with her if l find time
while down there.
l expect to get leg fitted when l
get back SO it probably won't be long
now before | get out.
Well, hear chow call, and as | am
going to the mess hall for chow now
/ will have to beat it or I'll be out of
luck.
Hope I'll be able to see you in a
feW months now. AS ever,
Frank.
A communication received from the
nurse at the hospital states that
OalSes people can perform real SER
vice in writing letters to Mr.. Ham
mond. 1t is hoped in this way to
keep his spirits up and thus hasten
his recovery and discharge from the
hospital. Frank fought our battles
across the water, was wounded unto
death in our Service, and it seems that
the least we can do is send him Words
of cheer and comfort.

FARMERS WILL SAVE COUNTRY
World Agricultural Body Discussed at
Chicago Convention

Representatives Of farm organiza-
tions in the United States and Canada
met in Chicago Tuesday to discuss the
establishment of an international
board of agriculture, representing the
farmers in this country and the Do
minion.
Farmers of the United States were
represented by delegates from the ma
tional board of farm organizations
and farmers unions affiliated with
this organization.
N. P. Lambert, Winnipeg, secretary
of the Canadian Council of Agricul-
ture, said that agriculture is complete
ly organized in Canada, and exercises
immense influence on Dominion pol
itics.
Milo D. Campbell of Coldwater,
Mich, candidate for the republican
nomination for governor, said the
farmers Of the country are the ele-
ment which will save it in this time
of change and unrest.
"Why don't the farmers strike as
labor has been striking?" he asked.
Because the farmer has his piece
of ground and has an interest in the
general welfare of the country. It
is not that he iss at heart more pa
triotic than the industrial worker.
And the thing which will solve the
question Of labor unrest will be to
give the laborer an interest in his
work, just as the farmer has"
The question of armament will be
taken up by the meeting, and dele
gates say that they expect to pass
resolution asking legislation reduc-
ing greatly the cost Of the military
and naval aims, of the government.
