LLOYD GEORGE will
ASK FOR MANDATE ON
IRISH NEGOTIATIONS
(By Associated Press)


LONDON, Oct 2S.-Prime Minister
LLOYD George will confront the house
of commons next Monday and ask for
a mandate relative to the continuance
of the negotiations between delegates
of the government and the dali eire-
ann.
Announcement to this effect by the
prime minister yesterday brought to
a head the seemingly serious situation
which has developed during the past
fortnight by the alleged detection of
unionist leaders and constituencies
from the support of the coalition gov
ernment.
Belief was expressed by newspapers
here today that the government would
receive a big majority in support of
the policies il has followed relative
to Ireland and that the ministry 5
hands would be strengthened in deal
ing with the Sim Fein representa-
tiyes.
Mr. Lloyd George received congrat'
u!ations from the liberal press for
"grasping the nettle of the hard-shell
unionist opposition. II was said the
prime minister had. 'by calling theiI
bluff, knocked the wind out of the
= rnioaists who were sponsors of the
vote of censure 10 the government
which was read III the house on Wed
nesday.
The passage CT another day without
further advance toward an Irish set
tlement seemed to have deepened the
pessimistic views held by many polit
ical writer's of London newspapers.

NORTH DAKOTA FIRST
STATE TO ATTEMPT
RECALL OF OFFICIALS
tBy Associated Press)

FARGO, N. D.. Oct 2S.-The first
recall election against state officials
ever attempted iii the United States
is being held today in North Dakota,
with the Independent Voters associa-
ton faction seeking to have its candi-
dates oust three officials who were
elected last fall with endorsement of
the Non-Partisan league.
Governor Lynn ]. Frazier, William
Lemke, attorney general, and ]. NJ.
Hagan, commissioner of agriculture
and labor. are the officials the inde-
pendents are attempting to replace
with B. A Nestos of Minot, for gov
ernor; SweinbjoIn Johnson, of Grand
Forks, for attorney general, and Jo-
seph A. Kitchen, for commissioner.
I'VE will swing the election to the
league by majority in excess of that
last November when Governor Fra
zier was reelected" said Frank Ost-
man, state publicity director for the
league. Governor Frazier's plurality
would exceed that in his reelection
last year when he won by more than
1000 votes.
Submit Proposed Laws
A group of proposed laws also are
being submitted to the voters today
as initiated measures, one of which
would in the future do away with par
ty designations in the election of all
state officials
Another would change the member
ship of the industrial commission
which supervises state-owned indus
tries. so that the control of the com
mission would pass out of the hands
of the non-partisans The governor
attorney general and commissioner OF
agriculture and labor now constitute
the commissioner.

BUSINESS CONDITIONS
TAKE TREND TOWARD
N0RMALCY AT STARR

Betteynent of business conditions
generally in the country is reflected
in a rush of orders for pianos, phono-
graphs and records received by the
Starr Piano company. which is en-
ploying nearly as many men as last
year. .
In some departments, night work
is being done to catch up with orders
which have been received at the plant.
"The piano business shows an in
crease over last years. said Harry
Gennett. vice-president of the COM
pany. Increasingly larger orders for
monographs and records have also
been received. and a big Christmas
business is expected"
THE orders from some cities are
the largest in our entire history and
the distribution of the products seem
to be general, excepting where we
have to meet competition from cities

Eastern Shippers Favored.
"The differential in the freight rate
on single piano shipped by water
from New York to the west coast is
s25 in favor of the eastern shipper.
This is creating q serious condition
!! for all inland shippers"
| Orders are ahead of production in
| the plant just now, said MI Gennett,
/ who is taking an optimistic view OF
| the business situation.
| A revision in the railroad freight
rates, he believes, will be the biggest
boon business can receive at the pres
ent time to restore normalcy and bring
back prosprity.

PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU


WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-Political
skirmishing which has been going on
in the senate of late is irritating to
those who are impatient for tax revi-
sion and other important legislation,
but it is not surprising when it is
realized that elections will be held
next year to fill the offices of 80 SEN
ators whose terms expire March 8,
1928.
Incidentally an entire new house OF
representatives, comprising 435 mem
bers and governors of eight states will
be elected in November, 1922.
Debates in the house of late have
been literally sprinkled with politics,
for some of the nominating elections
are only a few months off, but it is in
the senate where real political warfare
is being waged at this time.
Seventeen senators who will be up
for reelection next year are Republi-
cans and fifteen are Democrats. The
Republican senators are William M

MORAL OBLIGATION
HOLDS REPUBLICANS
TO BESCHER-RELLER

Everyone claiming to be a Repub-
lican has a moral obligation to vote
for BaltZ Bescher for mayor at the
coming city election declared Will
W. Keller, before a large meeting held
at Republican headquarters Thursday
night
He has honestly and fairly won
over large field of candidates in the
primary, securing almost as many
votes as the next two candidates COM
bined. No one can say that any clique
or influence was behind his candi-
dacy with Interior motives
All defeated candidates at the
primary owe it to themselves and to
their party to work vigorously for the
election of BaltZ Bescher, not for him
as an individual merely, but because
he now stands as the nominee of the
party and has right to expect his
party's support.
There is also a further reason for
supporting Bescher.' Mr.. Keller said
THAT is because he is undoubtedly
qualified for the position. We have
been seeking business administra
ton. By his experience and tempera
ment Baltz Bescher is peculiarly fit
ted to give us that kind of city gov
ernment. His eight years as city
clerk and four years as city controller
with his knowledge of the city's needs
will be of great value to him.

REPORT GOVERNMENT
WAS READY TO STOP
THREATENED STRIKE
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Oct. 2S-Complete plans
to avert the most serious handicaps of
the threatened railroad strike, which
was called off last night, have been
made by the government while the
strike still appeared certainty, dis
trict Attorney Clyne made known to-
day.
Application for injunctions restrain
ing the brotherhood chiefs from carry
ing out the strike with orders neces.
sary to conduct these proceedings
were in the hands of district attorneys
throughout the country ready to be
presented in federal courts.
The applications were drafted by At
torney General Daugherty at confer
ence with five district attorneys
earlier in the week, and followed
closely those drawn by Attorney Cen
eral Richard Olney in 1894 for the in
junction issued in July of that year
restraining Eugene V. Debs and other
officers of the American Railway
union from interfering with trans
portation of the United States mail,
Mr.. Clyne said.
Included Three Actions
The government program included
| two actions to prevent a tie-up in
transportation and a third looking to
! the punishment of strike. leaders
through indictments for conspiracy
against the public.
These were to be presented to the
court "a hours before the time the
strike was scheduled to begin.
| WASHINGTON. Oct. 2S-Word that
/ leaders of the five railroads service
unions had withdrawn authorization
i for the railroad strike scheduled for
/ Oct. 80, was received in official cir
cles here with undisguised satisfac-
ton, officials directly interested. how
ever. decided to withhold comment un-
! Ill later today.
While a general undercurrent of
optimism over the outcome of the
strike negotiations had been evidenced
mere since the first recognition of the
crisis, administration circles had not
| hesitated to view the situation as
more than a threat solely against the
distribution of necessities at the be
ginning of the winter season.
| Represented Test.
The strike it was said represented
a test primarily of the efficacy of the
railroad labor board, since it would
show whether that tribunal was able
to prevent such situations by adjust
ing the isues on which they arose, and
then enforcing its decision upon botL
parties.
That the government was prepared
in the event the Chicago conference
failed to side-track the walk-out, Sun
day to utilize other of its powers, was
indicated in instructions sent by At
torney General Daugherty 70 Fedora
i officials in Texas, and which he said
would be a model fcr similar orders
to district attorneys throughout tht
country if the strike materialized. A:

About 1900 mems and women's bal
lots have been distributed over the
city to ascertain the general sentiment
of voters towards the mayoralty nom
inees at the forthcoming city election.
The first returns are shown in the
preceding table.
Extreme care has been exercised to
obtain an accurate reflection of public
opinion as it stands today. The bal
lots were distributed on a percentage
basis to the various wards, according
10 the number of votes cast at the last
city election, four years ago, in each
of the wards.
Typical blocks in each ward were
selected, and every effort made to OBJ
tain as representative a vote as is
possible under these conditions.
Each Vote Secret
Each vote was secret, and those
who received ballots were asked not
to sign their names. so that the ident
ity of each would be completely sub
merged in the total returns.
Blue ballots were provided for mer
voters and pink for women, and vot
ers were asked TO return them in q
stamped and addressed envelope
which accompanied every ballot.
Ballots will be counted as fast as
they are received and the returns viii
be published daily, so that an accur
ate and up to the minute tabulatior
will be furnished.
BY apportioning the ballots on q
percentage basis to each of the wards
some of the uncertainty which ac
companies a straw vote will be OBJ
waited and, it is believed, an accurate
presentation of political sentiment to
ward the two candidates will be pre-
sented daily.

BELGIAN SKIPPER
TELLS STORY OF
LONG HARDSHIP

New York, Jan. 2S.-The mystery
of the Belgian cargo steamship
Cannonier, which was reported in
distress on Wednesday and later
reported safe, was cleared up to-
Gay when the skipper steered her
into port here and related a tale of
two months hardships, sickness
and alleged mutiny.
The ship sailed from Bordeaux
on November ~ and was battered
by gales and heavy seas every hour
of the voyage. A week ago, run
ming short of coal, Captain Nicolas
said, they put in at Bermuda to re-
stoke. Three firemen were taken
i'll and had to be left there.
After sailing again five sailors
were alleged to have refused to
bulge from their hunks and an
responsibility for running the ship,
therefore, devolved upon the skip
per, his mate and three officers.
On Wednesday during the heavi-
est storm of the voyage the en-
gines went dead The wireless APP
paratus long since had been out of
commission.
Late in the afternoon, however,
the storm abated, the engines were
repaired and they began to make
progl ess for the first time in
tewntv-four hours.
Upon his arrival. Captain Nicolas
reported the alleged mutiny of the
five sailors, who are Frenchmen,
to the Belgian consulate.
