The Ward County independent., 1921-11-03
THREE STATE OFFICIALS RETIRED IN
NATIONS FIRST STATEWIDE RECALL

1t is figured thnt the toal vote will
run 5000 to 10000 less than that policd
last fall at the general state election,
when a record vote was piled up.
Returns start Early.
Fargo newspapers and political head
quarters had established an elaborate
system for receiving returns, and ii
was only short time after tho polls
In the first district closed at nine
O'Clock that returns started coming In.
BY five O'Clock the morning following
election II was announced in Fargo
Forum extra that the independent
ticket had won. The Courier-News
In its regular edition the same morn
ing. generally confirmed this an
nouncement, although making no def.
mite statement.
During the day Of October 20 1t was
conceded all over the stdte that the
independent forces were victorious,
although wide variance was noted In
the majo,1ties conceded Nestos, John
son, and Kitchen. The more conserva-
tive leaders on both sides accorded the
winners just about the same margin as
that by which the three recalled OIL
cials won last fall. and final figures
are bearing out this estimate very
closely.
Take Office About December I.
It will take from 20 to 80 days for
the various county auditors to certify
to the secretary Of state the returns
from the several precipcts. Immedi-
ately after this certification and the
official canvass, the three elected cam
didates, II. A. Nestos for governor,
Sveinbjorn Johnson for attorney gen.
eral, and J. A. Kitchen for commits

assume their respective offices, sue.

PREMIER WINS IRISH BOUT
House Of Commons vetss 70 Continue
Peace parlCy.

London.--The government obtained
Its expected mandate from the house
of commons to proceed with the Irish
negotiations. The uni0nist motion,
censuring the government for iRitiat.
ing the Irish negotiations, was voted
down 430 to 4S.
The premier also achieved another
Of his oratorical Victories before an
expectant audience. So far a. the
movement Of protest was designed to
draw information as to the proceedings
OF the conference. 1t failed. The pre-
mier gave no information as to what
has been decided, or 10 being discussed
regarding Eamonn de Valera's claim
to independence aud the rumored at
tempts to arrange concessions from
Ulster for a united Ireland. These
remain in the realm In speculation.
One piece Of information the premier
did give. It was that unless something
happens within few days, presum-
ably in the conference to solve the
unsettled status Of lreland's two gov.
ernments, steps would be taken to
give the Ulster parliament the power
necessary to make It real govern.
ment.
Mr.. Lloyd George declared that the
time to question the negotiations was
when he first proposed them to the
Sim Fein by public correspondence,
last July. Most Of his speech was
devoted to holding before the commons
the prospect Of a renewal Of guerilla
warfare II the conference broke down.
Former Premier Asquith supported
the government, but deprecated the
suggestion that renewal Of the war
was the only alternative II the con
ference failed. This point Of view
finds adherence among q section Of the
Irish experts, who believe. that q
breakdown Of the conference might be
followed by continuance Of the
truce, pending further efforts Of dip
lomacy.
The comment Of one veteran parlia.
mentarian was that Mr.. Lloyd Georges
talk Of further war was not intended
as q warning to the Sim Tein but "a
parliament not to harass those @,
gagged in the nesotiatinns.
The Ward County independent., 1921-11-03

The great gains registered BY the
Independents In the first district were
largely responsible for the defeat Of
the present oficeholders, although
there were some unexpected turnovers
In other quarters. notably In Ward
county, which gave more than 200
majority to Nestos. In the southwest
err part Of the state the Nonpartisans
seem to have gained in strength, whlle
In the northwestern their power waned
to some extent. The second district
went about as formerly.
Contest Not Likely.
1t was thought in some quarters that
the election might be contested. no
matter which side won out, II the vote
was sufficiently close. The length and
heat Of the fight caused some to be-
lieve that the first verdict Of the polls
might not be accepted. The leaders Of
the league, however. indicate that they
have no intention Of institutlng con-
test, but will let the result stand.
Governor-elect Nestos has issued sew
eral statements, in all Of them express
Ing a keen appreciation OF the prob
lens confronting himself and his run
ming mates, and asking the whole
hearted cooperation of the entire
populace Of the state III seeking to
bring about better conditions gener.
ally.
The trend Of the vote, as far as avail
able ut the writing Of this summary, Is
clearly shown by the tabulation below.
The relative strength OF Frazier and
Nestos in October, 1921, and Of Frazier
and OConnor in November, 1920, Is
Indicated by counties, in the former
case the returns to date being set
forth, and In the latter case the com.
plete 1920 election results being shown.
Partial Returns on Measures.
Tuesday, November l, the outcome Of
the vote on the Independent initiated
measures and constitutional amend.
ments was still in doubt. The Courier.
News Of that date claimed their defeat
in every instance, while many Of the
Independent forces were inclined to be
hopeful that two or three Of the
measures would come through winners.
The greatest strength was ascribed
by both sides to the Bank Of North
Dakota and the rural credits measures,
while the weakest Of the propositions
was unanimously conceded to be that
which would establish non.party cleo
tiOns.
Returns on the most important Of
the measures from IA counties gave
the following results:

There vas much discussion at the

day when he again allowed Willie Carey
to slip by UNPUBLISHED for an alleged IL
quor violation by dismisslng the Charge
against Carey.
Carey admitted on the witness stand
that he had purchased a quart Of white

as for his wife and was taking it home"

so frightened" by tho presence of the
bluecoat dropped the bottle containing
The mule" causing it to break
According to Deputy Prosecutor Sidney
Miller, Judge Afford took the position
that as Carey had been fined for intoxi-
cation before 1t was evidence to the court
that Carey had the white mule for his
own use.
Deputy Prosecutor Miller argued in
vain that the evidence Of the police Off
GERS was that Carey threw the bottle con-
tanning the liquor In order to break it
and thus destroy the evidence.
"That fact is evidence of guilty inten-
tions," declared Mr.. Miller.

LEEWAY GIVEN
BY STATE BOARD
Contractors May Draw Pay
for Delivered Materials
Up to 20 Per Cent.

Contractors may be paid for material
for public buildings and roads when II
is delivered on the site OF the buildings
or roads and before it becomes an actual
part Of the structures, the State board
of accounts ruled today. The payments
may be up to 20 per cent Of the value
Of the material
This ruling is a direct departure from
the usual practice which does not per
NIT the payment for construction work
until the material actually has been used.
1t was explained that the action was
taken. because Of economic conditions and
would be In effect until further notice
but shall not continue later than Dec.
81. 1921. The ruling Of the board sets
out conditions under which material shall
be handled and gives the following list
of building materials, which shall come
under the ruling: Brick, terra Gotta,
structural iron, Iath, radiators, furnaces,
stone, crushed stone, framing lumber
and plumbing fixtures. The following
road materials come under the ruling
Stone, steel. creosoted block. gravel,
brick and crushed stone.
This ruling may have a far reaching
effect in the letting Of contracts for
State roads and other work. Many con
tractors have hesitated to take large
projects because with the high price of
material they would have large amounts
of money tied up for long periods Of
time.

SOME SAY MAIL
ROBBERS WORK
ON INSIDE TIPS
Detectives Are Looking Up
Records of Many Chicago
Employees.

CHICAGO, April S.-The startling
theory that persons within the postoffice
department, having knowledge of methods
and times of money shipments by mail
have been the directing heads Of recent
gigantic mail robberies in Chicago and
elsewhere, was advanced today by in
spectors and detectives who are en-
deavoring to solve the robbery late
Wednesday at the Dearborn street sta
ton here.
Squads Of postal inspectors are here
stigating the records OF many en-
ployes of the registry division of the
Chicago postoffice. Forty suspects in
the Dearborn station robbery, some OF
them mail clerks, are under arrest.
Although postal authorities have made
public no statement regarding the amount
Of loot obtained, it has been learned
from seemingly authentic sources that
$4,000 was stolen. This consisted, it is
said, Of $40 coo in cash and the remainder
in Liberty bonds and securities.
Police and postal authorities have q
theory that the principal mail robberes
Of recent months may have been the work
OF one gang operating in conjunction
with persons having an inside" knowl-
edge Of postoflice affairs.
Besides the Dearborn Station robbery
here, postal authorities are at work on
the robbery Of the mails at Sullivan, Ind.
Three men there stole unguarded mail
sacks from the Chicago & Western In
diana depot. The amount OF the loot
obtained IS not known.

A fitting tribute to the management OF

the rising vote of thanks by Offering the

NOT GUILTY, JUST
CRAZY SAYS WIFE
OF ROY HARRIS
Crin,inOIOgiSts Inclined to Be-
LieUe Confession of EL-
ICeH Murder.

BUFFALO, n. Y, April S.-"He's inno-
cent; he whispered to me in the district
attorneys office: Don't believe that El-
well story; I'm innocent.
Mrs Roy Harris, wife of the man who
has confessed he was one of two paid
assassins in the murder Of Joseph b.
ElweIl, wealthy New York turfman, made
this statement today.
Young, smiling, pretty, evidently not
at all nervous, she coolly dismissed her
husbands confession as the fabrication
of a disordered mind.
Shrewd criminologists of the New York
and Buffalo police departments, however,
are Inclined to put more trust in Harris
confession than they did at first Ner-
vously pacing his cell, smoking one cigar
ette after another he has clung desper-
ately and stubbornly to his story, de-
spite all the clever attempts to make him
admit it was a lie and that he is innocent
of completely in the murder.
This strange third degree was kept up
for hours by the detectives. Reversing
their usual tactics, by which they try to
make prisoners admit guilt, they pound
ed away with questions trying to make
Harris admit his confession is false. But
he sticks to it, The questioning con-
tinues.
Detained in another cell as a witness,
Mrs. Harris insists just as wehemently as
her husband asserts he is guilty, that he
is absolutely innocent-the victim Of an
hallucination.
y, Hes not guilty-just crazy" she said
succinctly.
why, I was walking with him in
Riverside drive the night that Elwell was
killed. he was broke--he had no money
to take me to show. That's the kind Of
a hired ASSASSIN he is"
