Tho name of former Judge J. M.
Hanley, of Mandan, may be urged up
On the national convention pf the
American Legion for national COM
mander. ."..
Judge Hanley is not a candidate for
he Office, but has been urged to per-
nit his name to be used.
Recently Judge Hanley returned
from France, having taken tour
with 200 other Legionaires. Dissatis-
faction was voiced with the conduct OF
National Commander Emery and
Judge Hanley, in the interests OF
harmony, permitted himself to be
named chairman of meeting called
to take action on shipboard on the
return.
Since then many eastern delegates
particularly those from Ohio, have
proffered Judge (Hanley their support
for national commander, should he
make the race. Dissatisfaction was
voiced with Emery's leadership on
the trip to France because, it was
said, he and few other men excluded
the rest Of the 200 tLegionaires from
participation in many activities.
Major Han'ey, at Dickinson last
night, said that he had heard that
some representatives Of other states
had mentioned his name but that the
office is .of such Importance that
feel that suggestions as to who should
be candidates should come from tne
Legionaires themselves rather than
from possible candidates and | nave
therefore made no move towards
seeking the Office

NOT SEEKING THE OFFICE
Judge Hanley Declares He Has
Made No Move Toward At
tempting to Capture Place

Former Judge J. M. Hanley, of
Mandan, today denied that he
personally was putting himself
forward as a candidate for the Of
flee of national commander of
the American Legion.
He is at Manning, Dunn county,
80 miles from railroad and had
not seen the story which ap-
peared in the Fargo Courier
News and other morning papers
to the effect that he was to be a
candidate. The article was read
to him over the phone and after
some consideration he dictated the
following statement.
II am honored by the sug-
gestion that l may be put for
ward as a candidate for the posi-
tion of national Commander Of
the American Legion. But one
greater honor could come to
man. However, the announcement
in certain morning newspapers
that l was to be candidate comes
without authorization from me
and l had nor have no idea that
my name will come before the
state convention at jamestown.
"There certainly was no such
thought when I was elected
chairman at the meeting
on shipboard. Following the
circumstances on shipboard
on the return from the re-
cent tour by the Legion party
in France several members Of the
party, prominent in Legion circles,
did advance the idea that be-
come candidate. However, l
had not at that time nor since for
a moment considered that matter
seriosuly. The news that | might
be put forward as a candidate
comes as distinct surprise.
"A man must indeed be am
bilious to aspire to such a high
position. I have not seen the
News Dispatch from Fargo and
certainly am not in position to
comment further. l can only
reiterate the previous statement
that l believe the office is of such
Importance that suggestion as to
who should be candidate should
come fro mthe Legionaires
themselves rather than from pos
sible candidates and personally
1 have made no more nor will
make no move toward seeking
the office"

URGES AID FOR ROADS
Harding Asks Congress to 0. K.
Plan for Early Adjustment.
Would Also Broaden Power of War
Finance Corporation to Extend
Relief to Farmers.

Washington-President Harding, in
a special message to Congress asked
it to extend the authority of the War
finance corporation to purchase secur-
tiles probably up to $500, 0O0, 900 now
in the hands of the Railroad admin
~istration so that the proceeds may be
used for settlements with the rail.

gress, would open the way to "early
adjustment and relief" of the railroad
problem.
Mr.. Harding gave only the bare out.
line of the plan he wants Congress to
approve. Details are to be given out
later by the railroad administration.
Wants Relief for Farmers.
The President, however, made clear
these salient points of his plan:
That the War Finance corporation
be empowered to buy railway secur-
tiles now held by the director generals
so that officials may have funds to
settle with the railroads without dip
ping into the treasury.
That the powers of the corporation
be broadened so that it can extend
further relief to the livestock raisers
and farmers.
Mr.. Harding also revealed that to
hasten a settlement with the govern
ment the railroads have consented to
waive their claims based on the asser.
ton that labor deprecated in value
during government control and that
the government should pay for this.
The waiver, however, will not preju-
dice their rights if they should take
their claim to the courts.
Sees Way for Early Adjustment.
Mr.. Harding then explained that the
government owed the railroads and
the roads owed the government. and
that settlements have already been
made for claims totaling $225,56S ,764.
1.-THE way would seem clear to very
early adjustment and relief except for
the fact that the railway administra-
ton, though possessing assets. doc
not command the funds necessary to
meet what will be it's admitted obliga-
tons" the message said.
The proposal that the war finance
corporation be empowered to nego-
tiate these assets was then made.
While the government is thus max
ing payments to the roads, the roads
debt to the government will be funded
that is, payment spread over a
period of years.
