both a duty and a pleasure to record
my deep appreciation. of the honor
done me and the confidence shown in
me. ."M :"
Il have, so to speak been drafted
in your service. There are easier aud
more pleasant paths to follow than
those you have called on me to walk
in. Yet I am ready to yield to your
wishes and bow to the united opinion
of the farmers and laborers Of the
state, If in their judgment 1 shall
serve them and aid them in attaining
the ends of justice and equity to
which they have set themselves.
''My efforts and my strength will
be freely and willingly given in this
campaign. But I wish to remind you
that no one man can win the fight
alone. We must have the faithful,
answering and loyal hands of the
farmers and laborers Of this state
behind the whole ticket. The nomi-
nees are but their representatives.
Agriculture and labor can secure the
recognition they should have in Wash
ington and at Bismarck-if they desire
it earnestly enough.
II am ready to DO my part. ! know
and believe that those who have called
me stand ready and anxious to do
theirs. II they do, there will be no
doubt as to the outcome, or question
as to the victory of the friends Of
progressive government"

ASSOCIATION WENT, SAY AUDITORS
Report of Bishop, Brissman and

TFaceable to Houses
REPORTS IRREGULARITIES
Deficit Of Association Now
Placed at s159,ooo and Will Be
Increased

More than one-third of. the mo 1ey
spent by the state-owned, state-oper
ated Home Building association in
building houses in the state cannot be
traced to any particular building, &C
cording to the audit report pf Bishop
Brissman and company, made public
today. 4.
The association spent $160,SS2.57 on
the houses, for which there is no FEC
ord to show how it was spent, the re-
port says. The auditors were able to
trace the expenditure OF $274,70785.
The deficit Of the association may
reach beyond the previously estimated
figure Of $250,000 should the persons
for whom homes were built win thu
law suits which have been instituted
against them to compel them to pay
the full cost of the houses. The de.
ficit on Dec. 81, 1921, was $l59,974.74.

JAMESTOWN C0NVENTI0NS0F
REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS
ARE ANNOUNCED FOR APRIL 10
Call Issued in Fargo Today BY
Spalding and Attorney-Gen.
eral Johnson
CANDIDATES MENTIONED
Governor Nestos Expected To Be
Endorsed for denomination
at Convention

| The next state convention in line
will be held at jamestown on We'd
nesday, April 10, it was announced to-
day in Fargo.
Burleigh Spalding, chairman of the
Real Republican committee, issued
call for convention to meet on that
date in jamestown and sveinbjorn
Johnson, attorney general and chair
man of the Democratic state COM
mittee, issued a call for the assemb-
ling Of Democrats in Jamestown on
that date
Arrangements have been made for
436 Republican delegates, while the
basis OF the Democratic representa-
ton has not been fixed
Both conventions are expected to
endorse candidates for state office
The Democratic convention probably
will nominate J. F. T. O'Connor as a
candidate for United States senator.
Whether the convention called by Mr..
Spalding will endorse anyone for that
position or not is matter of debate
among many politicians Since there
already are three candidates in the
field, Lynn j. Frazier, A. j. Gronna
and Porter J. McCumber, it is felt
by some that the convention ought
not to endorse candidate. On the
other hand, there are many who be-
lleve that the convention should en-
dorse candidate There are several
men in the state who would like to
be candidates for senator with the
backing of some organization, and
there may be several in the field.
Suggested Candidates:
Among those suggested as candi-
dates are: Judge A: M. Christianson,
Former Governor L. B. Hanna, Orms-
by McHarg, Jerry Bacon and Oscar
Seller. G.. A. Johnson Of Minot will
be a candidate, according to announce
ment Of his brother some days ago.
1t is expected that the Republican
convention will endorse Governor Nes-
tos for denomination and some of the
other state officers. The only an
nounced candidates who are not now
in office are H. L. Stegner of Bis
marck and W. D. Austin Of Fargo for
Commissioner Of Insurance, and
George Shafer, assistant attorney gen
eral for that position. Judge W. L.
Nuessle Of district court, has been
mentioned as a candidate for the su-
preme court in Bismarck and in that
connection the appointment Of C. L.
Young to the district bench to succeed
Judge Nuessle has been suggested.

CITY \ / BODY TO
PURCHASE FIRE
FIGHTING TRUCK
Commissioners at Meeting Last
Night Decide to Receive
Bids April II
USE PRESENT EQUIPMENT
Speed in Getting to Fires Main
Incentive of Commission
For Purchase
USE PRESENT EQUIPMENT

The city commission, in meeting last
night, decided to advertise for bids
for truck to be used by the fire de-
partment. Bids will be received on
April IT,.
After periodic discussion continuing
for several months the members OF
the commission agreed to purchase a
light truck on which the present ap-
paratus' can be mounted. The speci-
fications named in the advertisement
for bids authorized follow:
"Not over two ton nor less than one
ton in weight, not less than four nor
more than six cylinders, pneumatic
tires, electric lighted, starter and gen
orator, capable of making speed OF 80
miles per hour"
The commission reserves the right
to reject any or all bids. The COM
mission discussed the specifications
included in the bid. 1t was decided
that truck should be obtained heavy
enough to carry the weight of the
present equipment on the horse-draWr
truck, about 4,500 pounds with hose
and men, and capable of making a
speed up to IS miles an hour.
Since the discussion and considera-
ton of the truck problem began it was
agreed by the commissioners, all vot-
ing for the proposal last night, that
the present equipment should be util-
lied on truck which can be pur-
chased TO-, $2,400 to- $4,000, and to dis
continue use Of the horses The pres
ent truck can be used as auxiliary
apparatus if it is, later decided to get
more expensive truck. One OF the
reasons which impelled the commits
sion to decide upon this sort OF ap-
paratus is that the price on the spe-
cially built motor apparatus has not
decreased in the last few months : as
much as in some other lines, and there
is feeling that there will be fur
ther drop in price.
There has been considerable sen.
timent manifest among business men
for purchasing a light, apparatus
rather than expensive equipment al
this. time. It is said that the speed
with which most fires are reached is
the controlling element in fire fight
ing, and it is felt that a truck woult
minimize damage frequently caused
by delay in getting to fires which
necessitates the throwing Of a grea
uuo fit,y ne
