McCUMBER IN EXPLANATION
OF HIS DEFEAT

Washington, July 6.-Senator Nc
Cumber, Republican, North Dakota,
in letter made public by him today
ascribed his defeat for denomination
in the North Dakota primary to 'ethe
bipartisan combination which had
been made against me on the one side
and the Nonpartisan organization,
which SO. loyalty supported my oppon-
ent."
Senator McCumbers discussed his de-
feat and expressed apreciations for
support given him in letter to r. j.
Hughes Of Fargo, one of his cam
paign managers.
During the past two months you
have conducted most strenuous
campaign in my behalf" said Sena-
tor McCumber. "In the conduct of
that campaign you have at all times
maintained the highest standard of
political ethics. Your course has
been straightforward and honorable
and you have persistently avoided any
character of abuse or misrepresenta-
ton of any opponent. l thank YOU for
that course.
''These two months were too short
a period to overcome the poison that
had been sowed broadcast for more
than two years or to meet the BIZ
partisan combination which had @been
made against me on the one side, and
the Nonpartisan organization, which
SO Loyalty supported my opponent. |
know that you and my other good
friends did everything within your
power to bring about my nomination,
but with my own lines broken and
with united organization support
ing my opponent, the odds were too
great for you to overcome.
am taking this opportunity to ex-
press to you and to all my friends in
the state who have so faithfully la
bored with you in my behalf, my great
gratitude and my earnest and SIN
cere thanks"

Good Behavior on the Fourth

Altho a large crowd gathered in
Minot on the Fourth, it was unusual
ly orderly. The police department
made but two arrests during the day,
): W. Butcher for drunkenness and
Emil Nelson for vagrancy.
In the evening an immense crowd
gathered at Wildwood park for the
dance, the autos being parked so
densely that it was difficult to get
out. The dance was exceptionally en-
joyable and better behaved lot of
young folks would be hard to find.
There was very little of the usual
uncarthly noise during the day, and
no accidents were reported up to the
time this is written.

Corporation Succeeds with Farmers

About Is years ago the farmers in
the vicinity of Berthold organized a
mutual fire and lightning insurance
company. Just last week they held
their annual meeing. to elect two
members of the Board Of Directors.
At that meeting Mr.. Iver A. Canton
of Hartland, the secretary gave out
the following information, viz:
"Total number Of policy holders,
1,046; total amount of insurance just
little less than $4,000,000; total of
all losses during the last year about
$4,000; cash on hand about $4,000"
During the past few years the cost
has been one and half mills. That
is Is cents per hundred dollars or $1.50
per thousand per annum.
The present board is composed of
w. w. ,Wixer, H. H. Craig, A. Linn
baugh of Berthold, L. C. Larson and
Val Bott Of Dnnybrook, H. Naegaelie
of Tagus, and Iver A. Canton of
Hartland. All are good substantial
farmers who manage their own farm
ing business well and of course do the
same when representing the commun-
.ity.

NESTOS and ALMOST, COMPLETE
lNDEPEND'T TICKET. NOMINATED

Secretary of State
General
Nuchols ---------- 1872
O'ConneH 1882
Commissioner of Agriculture
Mostad ,617
Geo. Shafer was nominated for at
torney general, and Joseph A. Kitch-
en- for commissioner of agriculture
and labor, though by majorities
greatly below that given Governor
Nestos, which will be at least 10000
on the basis Of figures available at
this time.
Miss Nelson Leads
Miss Minnie Nelson will have a
big lead over Miss Martha Fulton Of
Wahpeton for superintendent of pub
lie instruction. Both were nominated,
however, and will go on the ballot in
the fall. Miss Fulton's vote was sur
prisingly large in some counties, she
carrying some of them. Miss Nelson
carried Mclean county, league
county.
While Obert Olson made a strong
race for state treasurer as later re-
turns came it appeared that John
Steen was nominated by good ma
jority.
All Of the candidates below Cover
nor dropped in the total number of
votes. This was to be expected. since
many voters do not look beyond the
head of the ticket. 1t was more nro-
nounced than usual, however. and had
10 1{
lead for his ticket it is apparent thaf
some on it would have fallen bv the
wayside. o
An analysis Of the Stegner vote in
some localities indicates that MANY
leaguers voted for him. This VIZ
neld slgnlflcant by many, as indicat-
ihg mat many leaguers had decided
enaC they Deheved the state socialism
loea was all wrong and they wanted

ulviouals also confirmed the statement
That many Republicans who formerly
were very strong for the industrial
program mad concluded that the state
ougnC TO get away from it and ret
oack 10 sound business basis.
Gains in Northwest
| Inc greatest gains made by Gov
erLlor Nestos were in the Northwest
eTi ern pa part, # Ct the state. Reports from
Mlnot interpreted the vote, which was
recorded from strong Scandinavian
counties as being definite drift away
from the Nonpartisan league While
oehers held that Governor Nestos'
popularity among the people of that
sectlon accounted for the great in
crease in the Independent vote.
Democratic Vote
Inc nomination of J. F.. II. O'Con-
nor for senator on the Democratic
.'sn!S pdl!ot was shown by meager returns
Whlle the same returns also Indicated
Or. Platou would be nominated for
Governor over Charles Simon in a
close race: Herbert Hard and Mrs.
Florence i, Gammons were running a
close race for the Democratic nomi-
nation for secretary of state and The
odore Mostad and N. M. Nelson also
were close for Commissioner of 40
riculture and Labor.
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1922-07-06

The nomination of D. C.. PoindeXter
for auditor and S. A. Olsness for COM
missioner of insurance ON the Repub-
lican ticket was definitely indicated
in compilations from two-thirds OF
the voting precincts Of the state. Non
partisans and Independents in Fargo
agreed that these two Nonpartisans
had won out and figures compiled in
Bismarck indicated the same.
The Nonpartisan candidates held
the advantage for the railroad COM
missionerships this afternoon on the
r basis of districts still to be reported
The race for Acknowledgements will
be close with chances favoring Hy-
land, Independent candidate.
The nomination Of Secretary OF
State Hall, Commissioner of Agricul-
ture and Labor Joseph A. Kitchen and
George Shafer for attorney general
appeared established on the basis of
returns on hand.
The supreme court race result was
not yet established altho compilations
had been made for two thirds of the
precincts. The nomination of Judge
Englert, Seth Richardson and Attor-
ney General johnson was certain with
Judge Birdzell also apparently win
ming and the two places divided be-
tween Judge Nuessle, Judge Burr and
w. H. Stutsman.
J. F. T. O'Connor was nominated by
the Democrats. The race between DR..
Platou and Charles Simon for the
Democratic nomination for governor
was undecided.
Lieutenant-G Governor Close
1t was felt that there was no ques-
tion about Poindexter and Olsness
and unless expectations were over
turned based on the previously re-
ported vote on Governor and Senator,
the Nonpartisans would win the rail
road commissionerships. The race for
lieutenant-governor also developed
into close one and Hyland, if he
wins, probably will not have more
than,a 1000 lead. The league leaders
claimed control Of the house and SEN
ate but these claims did not appear
supported from returns. The house
and senate both will be close next
winter, however, unless there are
overturns in the fall.
For senator, with zoos precincts
reported former Governor Frazier had
lead Of about $500 over Senator Nc
Cumber.
Supreme Court Close
The vote on supreme court judges,
for 1912 precincts, is not held indica-
tive of the final result because the
strength of some of the candidates
in certain districts will largely in
fluence the final result. With 1912
precincts the vote stood:
