COL. MAUS, WELL
K N0WN PIONEER
is VISITING HERE
Retired Army Officer Was Sta
toned at Old Fort Lincoln
in Early Days
HAS MANY FRIENDS HERE
Has Been Studying Mexican La
Dor Problem in Great South
west Recently
HAS MANY FRIENDS HER

Col. l.. M. Maus,. U. S. A., retired, is
in the city visiting old friends whom
he has not seen in many years. Col.
Maus served at the Standing Rock
Indian reservation and at old Fort
Lincoln on the west bank Of the Mis-
souri, river in the early 70's and SOS.
Many of the original pioneers of this
part Of the state were close friends OF
Col. Maus and he has been spending
the past few days reviving old memor-
les With the few pioneers still living.
He has been entertained at a number
of homes since he arrived here. On
Sunday night he will speak at the
Presbyterian church.
Although Col. Maus was on the re-
tired list when war with Germany
was declared he at once offered his
services and served nearly two years
during the war During the past four
months he has been making an edu-
cational and economical study Of the
American-Mexican population of the
four southwest border states, New
Mexico, Arizona, Texas and California.
.'"There are over 100000 of these
people, native born and foreign said
Col. Maus today. "They are generally
misunderstood by the American peo.
pie, but in spite of misrepresentation
they are absolutely essential to the
prosperity of the great southwest.
"These Mexicans do practically all
of the agricultural work in the border
states, especially cotton raising and
truck gardening, which form a large
part Of the industry of Texas, Arizona,
and southern California. Contrary to
the popular idea the Mexican people
are anxious to secure labor and are
immigrating to the United States by
the tens of thousands every year.
''They are performing all of the
track work of the southern lines and
besides are being shipped by hundreds
to Michigan, Wyoming, the middle
west and northwestern states as far
as Idaho, Oregon, and Washington for
labor. --...
"Few of the hundreds of thousands
of native born Mevicans living In
the four border states can speak Eng
lish or read or write. They have been
entirely neglected by the American
government and the people of the
states in which they live, receiving
less consideration than the Indians up
on whom millions of dollars are spent
annually"
Col iMaus has been requested to
address the congregation of the Pres
byterian church Sunday night on this
important subject. which he says Is
so poorly understood by the Ameri-
can people. The services will start
at s p. m.

MUCH INTEREST
IN SENATORIAL
RACE IN june
Gronna Expected to Lead Large
Field in Securing Republi-
can Nomination

Although the gubernatorial contest
at the approaching June primaries
has dominated the political thought
of the state for the past few, months,
a lively race is expected to be made
for the republican nomination for
United States senator at the pri-
maries.
When the anti-Townley republican
state convention failed to endorse a
candidate for the senatorship and the
league repudiated Senator Asa Gron-
ma, number of men with the con.
gressional upper hoose bee in their
bonnet Immediately burst into the
political limelight. More are expected
to follow as the primary day ap.
proaches.
P. D. Norton of Mandan has an.
nounced that he is a candidate for
the republican nomination for the
senate and Col. Frank White with a
war record unsurpassed is also con.
tender for the republican nomination.
Col. White Is expected to make a
stronger race than Norton and will
probably obtain the majority of the
soldier vote in the state as the for
mer service men do not take very
kindly to Senator Gronna's S war rec
ord.
A number of other names have
been mentioned in connection with
the contest for the republican nomina,
tion for the Tilted States senate, but
authorized announcements of these
hupposed candidates have not appear
ed as yet
