The Investigators asserted that in

rate of pay for women for the same

In asking the acting governor to call

Kane is man with the backbone
to do what is right, and this does
not suit the Townley creed at all.
DR.. Kane has not entertained any
political ambitions, but the Devils
Lake Worlds suggestion is pertinent
in view of recent happenings at the
university and in view of the attitude
taken by a number Of Grand Forks
business men. If he should be oust-
ed from the presidency of the uniyer-
sity, there would be great demand
to have him take the stump against
Governor Frazier in the primary CAM
paign. and men familiar with the
situation in this state declare that he
