CAMPAIGN START
ALONG NEW LINE
0'C0NN0R'S PLAN
Speech at Minot Marks Hop off
in His Campaign for
GOvernOrships
SOME LITTLE DIVERSIONS
Brinton Arrest Sidelight on
Campaign Which Gets Poor
Reception

The hop-off in the North Dakota
campaign was made quietly this week
by ]. T. F. O'Connor, fusion ticket
candidate for Governor In a speech
at Minot, O'Oonnor indicated clearly
the lines along which he will make
a bod for the Governorship. =.
The speech was made without the
blare of trumpets, but is regarded
b. politicians as especially important
in that it points the way in when
the campaign will be run. O'Connor
avoided haranglle and asked the peo~
ple of the state to calmly consider
where they are drifting, and to THINK
out for themselves the problems
which they are facing.
O'Connor took the position that tbs
present order of government, founded
on the constitution, is fundamentally
sound, and that progressive leglsla-
ton should be enacted with view
Of improving the present order OF
government, and not of tearing IL
down. He avoided personalities, but
went into the merit OF Legislation
which league forces have put into ell
feet and for which great claims nave
been made. His intent was to snow
that the legislation had absolutely
failed to correct the evils said to exist
but in fact had made conditions
worse.
-. Deeper Issues
There are many political observers
who believe O'Connor has taken the
right stand. They take the view tnat
the clash in North Dakota is be
tween a socialistic government, VITA
complete socialism as the ultimate
aim of the real powers OF the league
that the league endures through pro-
noting class hatred and class legls-
lation, and that the people OF the
state must take their choice between
turmoil forever continued hatred, one
sided legislation or get back on the
main road of constitutional govern
ment jand go ahead.
The Water-Brinton bOmbast, in the
opinion of many anti-Townley men,
has simply served to cloud the 1ssu"'
The dramatic action of arrestlng
Brinton for criminal libel is but a
bit of political by-play which gives
Townley chance to pose as mar
tyr, they hold. :.
The suit started by Jim Waters at
Fargo is regarded Of more import
ance. If he can show in competent
court that Townley was engaged IN
using league funds to promote the
Sisal trust, while claiming bank
ruptcy, Townley will be up against q
stiff proposition. The suit is not ex-
pected to be disposed OF for many
months, and will not be factor IN
the campaign, though it may have
an important bearing on Mr.. Town
ley's future.

Marion, Ohio, Aug. 2S.-Pronounc-

"The Democratic nominee has said
he is in favor of going in, on the
basis announced by the President l

but it is an important difference, be-
cause it is the difference between a

other hand.

the first attempt in the Polish stua
ton. and it. has now passed beyonl

British Support
He quoted the British press to sup
port the statement that such an al
lance would be welcomed abroad. He
asserted that a more detailed state
ment of the specifications was impos-
sible in view of the rapidly chang
ing world conditions.
Adoption of peace resolution, he
declared, would make quick and ef-
fective peace with seperate neg0tia-
ton with Germany.
Touching on the Mexican situation
the Republican nominee said, "A plain
notice should be given to every gov
ernment on the face Of the earth that
the United States will submit to no
wrong to it's position, either in per-
son or in property.

been as senator. "

New Accounts of Tragedy Pub
lished in British Papers Tell
of Details of Execution

London, Aug 2S. - All possible
doubts that former Emperor Nicho-
las of Russia and his family were as
sassinated in the basement of their
prison house at Ekaterinburg on the
night of July 16, 1918, seemed to be
lispelled by the account of two in
dependent investigations which are
published here. One is printed by the
london Times and was written by it's
'ormer Petrograd correspondent, Rob-
,rt Wilton. The other appears in
he magazine, 10th Century and is
rom the pen of Capt. Francis Nc
Jullagh of the British army, who be-
aOre the war was a widely known
newspaper correspondent. Both spent
several weeks at Ekaterinburg, and
alked with natives and soldiers who
witnessed shooting through windows

,'gree on the important details Of the
story
The victims of the massacre, they
say, numbered II, being the former
emperor, his wife, son and 4 daugh-
:ers, DR.. Cotkin. and three servants.
The assassination was arranged by
Yurovski, the jailer in charge of the
deposed royal family and was carried
)ut by twelve soldiers. The Times
account says these men were Let's,
but Capt. McCullagh says they were
Magyars, who have been placed on
duty instead of Russian guard be-
'ause the Bolshevik feared a Russian
could not be trusted for the work.
Capt. McCullagh's story says all the
doomed party except Nicholas were
on their knees making the sign of
the cross when Yurovski announced
the signal for the murder of Nicholas
Romanoff, the bloody and all of his
family"
Rewarded for Execution
The former emperor threw his
arms out toward his wife, quickly
saying something which could not be
heard and was then shot down. Then
the remainder of the party was shot
down with .revolvers and later the
soldiers bayoneted their bodies.
After the execution they hastened
to Moscow to report the details of
the affair to Lenin, commander of the
Bolshevik forces. According to Capt.
McCullagh he was promoted to be
commissioner of life insurance and
occupied the most handsome house
in the town. Even the Bolshevik
have declared to shun him.
In the square overlooking his house
was placed sign bearing the date
of the execution.

ON SMOKING
Convocation Address Char
acterized as Splendid
Interpretation.

President Thomas F. Kane was the
speaker at university c~onvocation ex-
ercises this morning, taking for his
subject The Smoking Regulation"
A good crowd turned out for the ex-
ercisea.
President Kane outlined the uni
versity regulations on smoking on the
campus and in university buildings,
and the reasons and necessity for
such regulations, in his opening.
He explained why as q matter of
obeying the statutes of North Dako-
ia, the regulation must be. enforced.
1T is also a matter of tradition, Of
showing the fine spirit of the univer-
sity to observe this rule" he said.
There is a very definite law pro-
hibiting the sale Of cigarettes in the
state, another law, involving the uni
versity authorities, which prohibits
smoking in a place where minor stu
dents may congregate.
The speaker then went on to show
by actual statistics, why, cigarette
smoking was injurious. Although
four out Of FIVE Harvard students
smoke, statistics show that not once
ers led his class in scholarhip. State
ment by prominent baseball men
were presented to the audience. as
well as physicians statements on the
injurious effects of cigarette smok-
ing.
President Kane admitted that
while a number of the members of
the faculty smoked when off the
campus, he thought that If they per-
sist in smoking. I may be able to at
tend their funerals"

Houses and Practically
All Disposed OF.

The arrival of $50 bags of sugar
In Grand Forks the early part of the
week has temporarily relieved the
shortage in this trade territory but it
is doubtful If it will be sufficient to
keep merchants and consumers sup
piled until the next shipment arrives,
local jobbers said today.
Two local wholesale houses COM
bined several days ago in the pur-
chase Of a carload OF the so-called
high price" sugar. which is expected
to reach here February /. The sugar
was purchased on the Philadelphia
market and it lie expected to retail at
20 cents a pound.
The sugar which arrived here Mon
day has been disposed of. One hun
dred sacks went to the Grand Forks
Mercantile company, 100 to Nash
Bros, 100 to Stone, Ordean-Wells,
and SO to Park. Grant & Corrigan.
They played checkers all, one MORN
ing, one wholesaler said, to make a
careful distribution to local retailers
and retailers in their territory. Some
local retailers disposed Of their sup

small supply on hand. Grand Forks

clarnan Urges ACCESSIBILITY
Of Mobilizing Nurses on
Community Plan in Order
That All May Have Prop
er Care in Case of Illness.

Plans for precautions against q
possible epidemic Of influenza in
Grand Forks will be placed before
the various organizations Of Grand
Forks by Samuel Claman, city health
ofncer.
The matter will be laid before the
Commercial club and other civic
bodies for such action as they may
think fit to take.
Nj. Claman points out that exper-
fence has shown that the effective
measures to fight influenza have
been shown to be the isolation of the
patients. proper medical care, and
nursing. Masks, anti-toxins, ETC.,
have proved to be of doubtful value.
To meet this situation Mr.. Claman
urges hat all nurses who are willing
to aid in the event of an influenza
epidemic be placed under the direc-
ton of a central bureau, which would
assign them to cases, where they are
the most needed. In this manner
every patient would be assured Of the
necessary care, while the c~oncentra-
ton of nurses or cases where the
need is not SO great would be avoided.
Nurses would be classified. accord
ing to their training and ability, and
an equitable scale OF charges would
be arranged.
In this manner the Of the
community could be thoroughly mob
ilized to fight any serious epidemic
h might arise. Mr.. Claman points
out.
The local Red Cross has already an
nounced its readiness to provide one
nurse for this work.

Thompson and vicinity Is nov well in

Miss Fox stated that no new cases

who had been ill were recovering
rapidly. as practically all of the cases
were light except in a few instances
where complications set in. The
churches, schools and other public
places are still closed and the town is
under quarantine but it is expected
school may open again next week.
The epidemic gained its hold mostly
on children and the disease was rapid

county board Of health placed the
town under quarantine and nurses
