Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1922-06-24
G THE u

The Nonpartisan League press, more especially
the Fargo Courier News continues to maintain a
discreet silence on the issues of the present cam
paign. 1t confines itself to wild charges that Gov
ernor Nestos was the friend of the bootleggcrs in
Minot, and that the Bank of North Dakota has fore
closed a mortgage on the Equity Packing Plant.
AS tor-the charge regarding Governor Nestos'
relations with the b~ootleggers, etc, it is too childish
to require much answer, but if one was needed it
has been given in no uncertain terms, by three pas
tors OF Minot who over their own signatures declare
the charge to be absolutely baseless. In regard to
the second charge the case is even more clear. The
Bank OF North Dakota does not now hold and never
has held a mortgage against the Equity Packing
plant. The only mortgage held by the bank which
is even remotely connected with the. packing plant
is one on 300 acres Of farm land on which 500 per
acre was loaned. The possible foreclosure of this
mortgage would be simply protecting the public
money(loaned, for the repayment of which there ap-
pears to be no other prospect. 1t would not affect
the packing plants operation These facts are
known to the Courier-News as we'll as anyone else,
but 1T chooses to deliberately ignore the facts and
continue on a policy of deception.
In regard to the real issues the league press con-
tinues to be silent. We have had no statement for
example as to whether or not B. F. Baker. the
league candidate for governor admits that he was
either deceived, or himself attempted to deceive the
people when as a member of the senate whitewash
committee. he..gave a clean bill of health to the
league administration on its conduct of the state in.
dustries.
Does he admit for, example that the men to
whom he paid such high tributes, made a mess of
the Home Building Association? If so what excuse
has he for not informing the people of the true
factsi Was he SO lacking in ordinary intelligence
that he couldn't discover the facts, or was he $50
lacking IN the first principles of honesty that he in
tentionally concealed them? Or does he perhaps
still approve of the methods used in conducting this
industry, and plan to conduct it on the same lines il
elected governor?
It the leaguers have nothing to conceal. why are
rs plain. They cannot be answered without making
clear the absolute unftness of the league candidates
to be given charge of the administration Of the
state,

The late Mr.. Martin was fully
well aware of the fact that his
titled son-in:law was a rather wild
young man. During his salad
days he cut quite q dash In a
very gay set in London, and It
was only after the earl. who met
a tragic deksh some tims back By
falling fronf bis yacht into the
sea. had led a model existence for
one year after. his wedding that
Mr.. Martin allowed Cornelia to
take her place as the Countess Of
Craven. Since that time various
'urpieasant episodes have cropped
up 60 mar the happiness Of the
Bradley Martin heiress. but her
sons matrimoniai tangles are, I
am told, the last straw.
I RECALL quite well meeting the
present Earl Of Craven-he sue
ceeded to the title following his
fathers tragic death--several
years ago when he came to this
country to visit his numerous
cousins. At that time he was the
Viscount Ellington and most GER
tainiy looked anything but the
gay youth he has turned out, &C
cording to Dame ,Rumnr, To BE-
Extremely handsome Chis mother
was a great beauty In the olden
days at the Waldorf. he created
quite q stir in the debutants
ranks, and his mother ex-
pressed the hope that he would
choose a bride from the numerous
American heiresses who were in
vited to the dinners and dances
given in his honor.
However. he returned to Eng
land heart and fancy free and
promptly upset his parents and
relatives in this country by marry
ing a simple farm maiden. For a
time the Countess Of Craven re-
fused to acknowledge the match.
Later she extended forgiveness
and took her plebian daughter-in-
law under her wing and after
many months Of training, intro
duced the viscountess Uffington
to her fashionable friends.
Again trouble made its appear
anoe at the portals Of the Craven
ancestral estates. Viscount lifting
ton began burning up London, just
as his daddy did years before.
1t was reported at the time that
he became involved financially and
that his mother was forced to
come to the rescue. His young
bride decided to secure her FREQ
dom in the British divorce courts,
but after several interviews with
the dowager Countess Of Craven
she decided to give that titled
lady's gay son another chance.
A short time afterward-several
months ago-came the gossip that
Earl Cathcart was planning to sue
for a divorce. London society, Of
course, blamed the present Earl Of
Craven. The attentions he show
cred on Lady Cathcart are said to
have broken up the otherwise hap
py home of the Cathcarts.

considerations of precedence
and precedent play such an i'm

Of the White House social cal

would be caused in the orderly

THE dinner was very much like
other state dinners-the Cab

diplomats-except that, the honor
guests being fewer in number
than was the case when the dip
lomats were entertained, the com
pany asked to meet them was
more comprehensive.
A good many cities were repre-
scented among the guests. From
New York came Mr.. and Mrs.
Cornelius N. Bliss. IT.. and lovely
Mrs. Arthur Livermore. There

1t was rather pretty compli-

SO much charm to White House

The flowers were heavenly and
the whole house fragrant with
them. It was pretty. too, to
watch the care with which the
First Lady supervised the placing
of the great cluster Of orchids
which Mrs. Firestone had brought
her all the way from Ohio. She
couldn't wear them, for the long
flowing lines of her gown were
not designed for flowers, but they
had a place Of honor on the piano
where every one could enjoy
them. The Firestones, you know,
are old friends Of the Hardings,
and they were on that famous
camping trip which the President
took last summer with Thomas A.

celebrities.
WASHINGTON took its big
