LOVER THE HILL"
A WONDER PLAY

A WONDER PLAY
The local screen never has pre-
scented anything more tender and
more beautiful than the William Fox
picture, "Over the HILL which
opened at the Coliseum Theater last
night.
The story is based upon theme
that is no stranger in literary and
dramatic works; but seldom, II ever,
has the subject of divine mother love
received $50 r2verept and dignfied
an exposition as is revealed in the
beautiful screened story adarted from
two poems that have been reclted
more in school room and on the lee
ture platform than those of any
other American poet.
Will Carleton whose Farm Bal
lads" captured the popular heart
many years ago, provided the motif
of the story, which Paul Fl. Sloans,
a well known young screen writer,
has worked into one Of the strongest
picture plays ever devised.
The simplicity and humanness OF
the tale won a capacity audience at
the Coliseum Theater last night from
the start. In fact it is doubtful il
any other theatrical attraction in re-
cent years seen in this city has
gained such distinct and enthusiastic
favor as has cover the HILL"
The remarkable hold of the play on
Its spectators caused scenes among
them that will live as long as will
memory of the picture itself. The
audience was alternately swept by
laughter and deep emotion through
out the performance.
The remarkable exposition of the
little mothers life story found its
way deep into the hearts of men
and women alike. cover the Hill"
has scored triumph here, as 1t did
during its run of one solid year on
Broadway. New York.
Two special features of "Over the
Hill" must be mentioned. Dorothy
Chaffee presented most pretentious
selections CT musical numbers during
the entire IL reels. every one fitting
the picture exactly. The music of
the concert and the feature was COM
mented upon by all last night.
The other special feature WIS the
singing of a newcomer to juneau,
Miss Jane Pagan. She possesses a
splendid voice and gave the prologue
touchingly and then gave Mother
o. Mine during scene, singing
from behind the curtain. The pro-
logue was so nicely given that the
audience demanded an encore.

NORTH DAKOTA HAS
 PRIMARY JUNE 2S
Nonpartisan League Seeks Control
 Of the State Government

Bismark. N. D., June 23.-With party lines broken and disregarded North Dakota is approaching its state wide primary June 2Sth with the interest centered in the struggle be- tween the present administration and the Non- partisan league for the con- trol of the state government. Gov ernor R. A. Nestos, the first govcr- nor in the history of the United States to be elected in recall campaign, is heading the combination of republi- cans and democrats aligned against the league. The latter is marshailing it's forces under the name of repub- lican, the democratic members of the league signing up as republicans for the purposes of the primary.
 The primary is strictly a North Dakota affair. While candidate for United States senator is to be elected, the league and anti-league battle en- ters into this and the selection of the senator is one of the queerest angles ever presented to the people of state. Lynn J. Frasier, recalled governor is the candidate for the Nonpartisan league. Porter j. McCumber is a candidate to succeed himself, and Ormsby McHarg, of Jamestown, for mer private secretary of Senator Mo- Cumber is also a candidate.
 No National Feeling.
 According to political observers the primary will not give line upon the trend of national feeling. Conditions politically, they contend are too chao- tie. the party label too easily changed, for any stamp of pro or anti to be declared from the result. Something of the tangled conditions can be guessed from the fact that the names of the same men appear on petitions of candidates named for democratic and republican office. No alignment has yet been made in this potpourri of politics stamping one side or the other as carrying the banner of progress, immobility or reaction.
 Back of all these conditions trail the years in which North Dakota has been the experimental ground for economic theories, theories which needed a political party label for and still further back, are the years in which North Dakota was attempting to align itself under the progressive banner, upheld a. that

time by its near native son, Theodore Roosevelt.
 Six Elements.
 Under these coniitions six different elements entered into the campaign. The elements, each one paramount to lsec.ion follow:
 i-Interested in the state ticket and th.' return of Cover Tor R. 4. Nestos to .he position he has filled since No- venlher 23rd last. This element has TO candidate for the senatorship. 2-The Nonpartisan league. with its members signing up as republicans, its ticket headed by former Governor Fraser as candidate for United States senator. and with a complete state ticket, headed by E. F. Baker ot |Gicnburn. a farmer, for governor.
 3-Democrats, supporting J. F. T. OConnor for United States senator and a complete state ticket.
 4-Porter J. McCumber senator, amently supported by former stall wa'tes with followers in both the re- publican and Nonpartisan camps.
 5-Protest against the purpose of the democrats to align with the in- dependent republicans following prim- sry upon certain candidates from each ticket.
 6-Protest in republican ranks against the industrial experiments the state has been trying.
 The preliminary campaign. up to the time of final filing for office, was contest between the independent re- publican and the McCumber forces. The independents attempted to force the senator and his immediate fol- lowers to ally themselves with the in- dependents against the Nonpartisan league. This was met by the equally insistent demand of the supporters of McCumber that the independents ally themselves with the senator regardless of the league question.
 Both sides failed in this effort. all though some independent candidates have announced that they personally will vote for McCumber.
 Three For Senate.
 The third man in the race for senator, Ormsby McHarg of James town, is regarded as an unknown quantity. Since his return to the state, less than a year ago. which accounts for his inability to vote in the prim- ary, he has aligned himself with the Independents. He is a former private secretary to Senator McCumber and has been absent from North Dakota for some years.
 Governor Nestos is leading a state ticket on which George Shafer of Wat ford City is the candidate for Attorney General and Joseph A. Kitchen is ask ing renomination as commissioner of agriculture and labor. These three positions form the industrial commits sion which has control of the large business interests of the state.
 The league candidates are B. F.
