Anyone who penetrates the political
smoke screen that envelops the pres
idential campaign in the west cannot
but come to the conclusion that the
great mass of the people have not
been impressed with the notion that
Senator Hard;ng's disinclination to
an absolute refusal to carry forward
American idealism. There is a faith
that if the Ohio senator is elected
he will be persuaded by a public opin-
ion untroubled by personal issues and
domestic political circumstances to
bring America into a partnership Of
nations. The support given to Hard
ing by former President Taft and
Herbert Hoover and Charles Evans
Hughes has been pointed to effective
ly by Republican newspapers as con-
policy will be after the election and
there is no disposition to credit the
extremist tendencies Of Senators John
son and Borah as having any more
control over conservative Warren
Harding than the radicalism OF those
two gentlemen on domestic issues will
influence the Republican policy on
the tariff or taxation.
So much misconception Of the true
purpose OF the present League OF Ma
tions exists and SO much perversion
of what the covenant actually says

first time now in many western news

BOMB DESTROYS !.
PART OF THE
CORK CITY HALL
Rooms in the West End Of
Building Only Ones Dam
aged, Says Report.

Cork, ireland, Oct. s.-(By the Az
sociated Press. part of the city hall
here was destroyed by bombs at about
o'clock this morning. Six explo-
sions were heard, and were followed
by considerable rife fire. So far a.
known, there were no casualties.
The damage was chiefly confined to
the rooms in the west end of the
building. One of these. which was
used by the water department, was
plosions and the departments books
and records for fifty years were de-
stroyed. s
The blaze was prevented from.
spreading by the stone partition walls.
The adjoining rooms, occupied by
the department of public health, were
damaged by explosions, the theory
being that bombs were thrown into.
them through the windows.
Large pieces Of cast iron, like shell
castings and bits of metal similar to
shrapnel were found in the debris.
The Offices of the engineering de-
were not damaged, but many vim
dows in the front of the building
were pierced by bullets. A bullet was
fired through the window of a room
occupied by Daniel Ring, the night
watchnlan. who telephoned for the
fire brigade when the first explosion
occurred.
Firemen succeeded in quenching
the flames and saving the remainder
! Of the buildings. 1t has not been de-
cided whether the fire was caused by
an incendiary bomb or from the igni-
ton of gasoline.
Few people of Cork slept last night
Firing was heard in various sections
intermittently through the night. The
people are in a state of terror.

SEVERAL POINTS
NOT SETTLED BY
REDSAND POLES
Polish and Soviet Delegates
Again Attempt to Arrange
Arrnistice.

Riga. Oct. s.-(By the Associated
Press. s.)-Delegates of Poland and
soviet Russia who held long session
last night in an effort to reach an
agreement for an armistice resumed
their attempts today.
Several points remain to be settled
before it is possible Tor an armistice
agreement to be signed. The Poles
insist that there must be an interval
of six days after signature before the
armistice becomes effective. They de-
clare it will be impossible to reach
scattered cavalry organizations along
the Bolshevik front in less time. The
Boisheviki desire but four days of
grace. A decision on Polish claims
for repayment of gold deposits taken
by the Russians from, the state bank
in Warsaw when that city was threat
ened by the Germans during the
great war also must be reached and
the details of the line of demarcation
between Poland and White Russia
and Ukrainia, as well as the ecopomic
clauses Of the agreement. remain yet
to be worked out.
Last nights session lasted until
early today.
London, Oct. a.-Bolshevik reports
at Riga indicate new offensive
against the Poles by the BoIsheviki,
says the Daily Mails correspondent
in that city. The soviet military Of
fcials claim to have retaken Minsk
and to be advancing on the Galician
front.
George Tchitcherin. Bolshevik min
lister of foreign affairs, has telegraph
ed the Russian peace delegation that

MAN AT CAND0
CHARGED WITH
DOUBLE MURDER
Sylvester Snyder Following
Preliminary Hearing is
Bound Over.

Cando, N. D., Oct. s.-Sylvester
Snyder. who has been held in the
Towner county Jail since September
81 awaiting his preliminary hearing,
was on Friday charged with the mur-
ders Of Archie and Earl Fletcher, fol-
lowing an all day hearing at which
fourteen witnesses testified. Snyder
will face trial at the next term of
the district court. 1t is not known
who his attorneys will be. The bond
for his release from Jail was set at
$4,000 for each of the two murder
charges.
History of the Case.
Snyder was arrested at Minncwau-
kon on September 22 by the deputy
sheriff of Benson county, the presence
of a German Luger gun in the back
seat of his automobile arousing sus-
picion, the Benson county authorities
having been warned in advance and
told of the finding of the two bodies
in the stubble field near a school
house nine miles east of Rolla I'm
mediately after his arrest Snyder,
who had been passing under the
name of Bass. confessed to the killing
but claimed, and still claims, self-de-
fense. He declared that the Fletcher
brOtherS threatened him. While the
three were riding in the car OH the
return trip from point near the Ca
madam line where quantity of liquor
was thought to have been stored.

Evidence secured has revealed the
fact that the three men had been
working near Clyde for a threshing
outfit and had been paid their full
time on Saturday night. September

in the Ford car which presumably
belonged to the Fletcher brothers
! On Monday the dead bodies of the
two Fletchers were found in the field
by boy named Carlson, that they
had been dead less than twenty-f -four
hours being shown by the fact that j
watch in one mans pocket was still
running.
The identity of the two men who
came from Iowa for the threshine
season was revealed by Snyder's con.
fession and by other evidence gath
cred by county officials. No evidence

FIRES CONTINUE
in WISCONSIN
New Fires Reported to Have
Broken Out During the
Night.

Superior, Wis. Oct. s.-Throughout
last night Douglas seemed all ablaze
with forest fires. For a radius of
from ten to twenty miles south and
southwest Of Superior the heavens
we're aglow with wavering streams
OF flame. Volunteers and brigades
were on guard all night in Douglas
and adjoining counties combating the
spread of the fires. A series of small
fires, developing as a result of long
period of drouth turned the stricken
district into a raging furnace. Re-
ports thus far show sixteen farms
have been destroyed. Two hundred
volunteers rushed to Bennett late last
night in response to an appeal for
help. The village of 200 was reported
out of danger at 2 o'clock this morn

Reports from Washburn, Bayfield,
and Ashland counties indicate the
fires are menacing and the people

100000 feet of timber at Black River

Alyin and Norman Thompson,
brothers, who have a farm four miles
south of Bennett, had to seek shelter
in a we'll. After the fire passed over
they were rescued, badly burned and
brought to a local hospital. They
will recover. Their home was de-
stroyed.

the German officers and sailors of the

Wilhelm Hulsebusch, was allowed to
land only under guard. and was escort
ed to the Custom House to enter his
ship, which flew the old merchant flag
of his country.
Some ex-service men employed on the

Riclsmers tied up, growled over the dis
play of the flag and threatened TO take
