three candidates show strength. They
are e. C. Pommerenig; j. B. Houston,
with Christian Slotten classed as the
compromise candidate.
Announcement was made today by
Mr.. Tittemore that he would not be a
candidate for reelection. He made
a strong plea for harmony.
Mr.. Houston declared that if any
of the Nonpartisan leaguers were sup
porting his candidacy it was mot be-
cause of his relations with that or
ganization."" 4.
Little sentiment appears to have
developed favorably to merger with
the farmer bureau
Two resolutions it was .tated, prob
ably will be introduced on the subject.
One will declare against union with
any organization under the circum-
stances that would injure the inter-
ests Of the Equity society.
This reason, it is said, would not be
permanent rejection Of the merger.
The second resolution would propose
a referendum of the membership to
determine the question.
Committee reports today included a
recommendation for aftiliation with
the National Board of Farm organiza-
ton, which during the war represent
ed agricultural interests, and which
has since been reorganized to repre-
sent agriculturalists in legislation.

Governor Cooper said.
If we continue the way we have

Evidence Reported Found

Warsaw, Nov. 12.-Evidence that
Germany has planned armed occupa-
tion of Upper Silesia II the proposed
plebiscite in that. territory should fa-
vor Poland, is said to have been given
the allied governments by Poland.
Newspapers here have just publish
ed copies of documents said to have
been intercepted by Poland. Accord
ing to these, the sixth German army
corps headquarters at Breslau was to
equip an expedition. One detachment
Of this was to proceed into Silesia in
the guise Of demobilized soldiers and
there they were to spread propaganda
to support the German cause prior to
the plebiscite.
Other detachments were to mobilize
IL days before the day of voting and
to wait at various points of vantage.
If the plebiscite favored Poland, these
forces were to wreck factories and
other industrial institutions.
Aid also was to be given the Ger
man cause in some way by a secret
| league of former German officers and
soldiers known as Spree" the name
of river. This organization was to
cooperate with the sixth army corps
headquarters.
