Founder Says Membership Fee
Should Be Placed Low
Enough for All.

Bismarck, \. D.. July 15-The
meeting of the North Dakota nonparti-
san league executive committee. which
convened here Saturday. was con-
ference on reorganization and not a
convention, w. j. Church, chairman of
the committee. declared preliminary to
the opening session.
William Lemke of the national COM
mittee and A. c. Townley. national
organizer, appealed for the proposal to
place all organization work in the hands
Of the national committee.
In discussion of the organization.
the debts Of the league and the obli-
cations the league had to take care
OF in the form of the Recommendation
notes were emphasized, Mr.. Townley
stating that the league needed 80. 900
members in North Dakota and that the
membership fee must be placed low
enough to bring that number into the
party
In preliminary discussion Of political
policies for the coming campaign, many
of the members of the league expressed
themselves as favorable to making the
campaign on the ground that the mem
bers of the league and the anti -NcC Cum-
ber republicans were the only members
of the republican party in North Da-
kOta and that these progressive and
conservative wings of the party should
work together in the fall campaign.
Whether the affairs Of the nonparti-
san league in North Dakota should be
placed in the hands of the national or
the state executive committee. what
should be done with the daily news
paper controlled by the league. and the
question of endorsing additional candi-
dates for the state offices were three
questions placed before the conference.

this TO say as TO his conference with
the president:
Our primary reason for meeting
with the president was TO impress upon
him the necessity of calling a confer

road executives in order to stop the
spread of the strike. We feel that
this Is the only way to ease the situa-
tion and | believe it would be effective.
The situation has become acute all
over the country and we laid before
the president lot of facts, many of
which he said had never before come
TO his attention. This was the first
direct protest we have made to Mr..
Harding, with the exception of visit

discuss the cutting of wages. The
president censured us for not coming
sooner and laying these facts before
him"
The chief executive did not indicate
whether such Il conference as that sug~
