GR0NNA CAUSES
AMAZEMENT BY
HIS ATTITU UDE
Is He Running for Governor Or
Senator on League Platform
Is Question Asked

Whittier is AISLE j. Gronna heading,
was a question on the lips of many
people last night after Gronnas S amaz-
ing announcement of his candidacy
for United States Senator was read
by many people. In his announce
ment the former senator made no
mention OF national issues, except a
brief reference that he favored the
government dipping into experiments
in business.
He devoted his announcement to
an endorsement of the Nonpartisan
league program, discussed freight
Determinations, mills and elevators
and the Bank of North Dakota.
The query arose as to whether
Gronna is candidate for United
States Senator or for Governor with
Nonpartisan league endorsement. His
gnoring of national issues might be
explained in that his announcement,
printed first in the Courier-NeWs, was
Intended to catch league support.
Gronna has been doomed for sena-
tor for many weeks as the 81. V. A.
candidate" and his action in making
his announcement by the Courier
News is regarded as merely bid fol
votes.
His announcement created amaze
nent among many anti-leaguers who
heard him speak in Bismarck on the
Eve of the LANCER primary in 1920,
n which he numerically flayed the
Nonpartisan league leaders, called the
league efforts socialism and devoted a
large part of his address to how other
countries had tried experiments in
government similar to what he said
Townley and his associates were seek
ing to put in effect in North Dakota,
and failed
During the LANCER campaign Gron-
ma was fully as bitter toward the
whole league idea as any other anti
league speaker. His complete re-
versal in the announcement Of his
candidacy for senator cannot be un-
derstood by many people or explained
even in the light of political exped-
iency.
The Courier-News, commenting ed,
ttorially today on the Gronna announce
ment, outlining Gronnas campaign
platform says: ''What is it, after all
but the original league program that
the farmers went out on and have
been fighting for the past eight years.
| Early Greeks used large stones ant
sacks of sand as anchors.

Lost Her Lifes in North

REV. HILTNER SPEAKS
D. r. Poole of Winnipeg Tells
Rotarians What a Community
Can Do For The Boys

Members of the Bismarck Rotary
stood in silence today for few mo-
ments as tribute to Hazel Minor,
the young girl who was the heroine
OF the blizzard two years ago when
she saved the lives of two smaller
children near Center by giving them
her outer wraps and thinly clad pro-
tected them against the raging storm.
Today was the second anniversary
OF Hazel Minors death. C. L. Young
read letter setting forth the tragic
events surrounding that case which
won national attention. The North
Dakota Home Association has estab-
lished a Hazel Minor chapter and the
Women's Federation has established
scholarship. 1t was Hazel Minors am
bition to study to be nurse.
Pictures of Hazel and her young
comrades were shown to Rotarians
and the letter which told SO touching
ly of the young girls supreme sacri-
flee made profound impression upon
the Rotarians gathered for their noon
luncheon at Rotary headquarters in
the Mckenzie hotel.
l.. S. Craswell, chairman of the
boys committee, who directed the
energies of the Rotarians in putting
over the Father and Son banquet
thanked all those who had contributed
to the success of the affair.
Father Hiltner of St. Mary's church
gave fine historical outline OF St.
Patrick's contribution to Ireland and
the world He dealt upon st. Pat
rick's work in building up the center
of culture in Ireland which sent to all
parts of the then known world the
message of Christianity. He told o.
the few meagre facts that the chron-
icles have preserved of the life and
sacrifices Of this interesting figure
ID. R. Poole Of Winnipeg, gave. Ro-
tary another talk straight from the
shoulder of the need OF maintaining
boy welfare work in Bismarck. He
declared that character building is
being emphasized chiefly now in ed
ucational work and that educators are
stressing the need for a high type of
character in the teachers employed If
the boys are to be guided safely
through the various periods Of their
development. He illustrated by a
chalk talk just how boy progresses
through the various stages toward
| manhood.
Mr. Poole, was given an emphatic
endorsement of his message here and
praise rendered J. j. Macleod, boy
welfare worker, by Mr.. Poole were
heartily seconded by the Rotarians.
Phil Meyers, a proud father, said it
with cigars.
