BOOZE BLOCKADE + j:
BEING PLANNED
Rum Running To Be Fought By All
Possible Modern Means.

Washington, D. c., March 2i-20th
century booze Observation-Disclosures,
submarines, submarine chasers,
speedy automobiles are to be used in
this great blockade. Wireless outfits
have been set up. Officials declare
they are for building a 100000 mile
wall about the United States to stop
the flow of alien rum.
With this blockade 100 percent per-
fected, prohibition chiefs are conf
dent that every source Of liquor will
be stopped and drinking will come to
an end.
This plan, Commissioner Haynes
says "Obtain the use Of aeroplanes on
the Florida and Texas borders. Also
have nine submarines working in the
South Atlantic waters for chasing the
smugglers along the New York and
New Jersey coast lines. Have set up
wireless outfits along the Canadian
border in Michigan which will enable
the officers to chase smugglers more
rapidly" Haynes expects to start
this plan at once and to build up the
blockade gradually. This will cause
an expenditure of money in addition
to the appropriation of Congress.

THE GAG RULE
FIGHT FUTILE
Conservative Estimates Predict Less
Than IS Votes Opposing Bill.

Washington, D. c., March % -
Democratic congressman were lining
up today to continue the futile fight
on the Gag rule in which the Soldiers
Bonus bill will be passed thru the
house tomorrow. Some republicans
say that the bill will pass through the
house with big majority after four
hours debate. Conservative estimate
here are that there will not be more
than rs votes against the bill. It is
said that President Harding will not
veto the present bill. Chairman Ford
ney for the House Ways and Means
Committee is quoted as saying that
President Harding told him that the
present bill will get some objection
by him. The situation is that the
House members will be able to go
forth in the fall campaign and say
to the voters, "We have passed the
Soldiers bonus bill and are entitled
to your VOTE" If the bill fails to
90 through the house it will be fin
ished in the upper body. $50.

ing For Federal Intervention.

Washington, D. c., March 22-The
great coal strike called for midnight,
March 31st, will be 100 per cent eff

officials. Indications are that every
one of the 100000 miners will obey
the order for suspension of work.
President J. L. Lewis of the United
Mine Workers who issued the order
saws, that he believes that there will
be no trouble or rebel movement in
the union ranks. He also says that
10000 Illinois miners would quit with
the rest, despite the fact that Presi-
dent Harrington of the Illinois Dis
trict is quoted as saying the order is
premature. The mine officials are
going ahead with plans for the walk
out Just as if there was no chance of
Federal intervention or possibility of
settlement of trouble in any way.
The coal strike will come when the
people are asleep-at midnight on the
31st of March. One-half million men,
bers of the United Mine workers and
1000 non-union workers will declare
an indefinite walkout following the
order.
The Canadian miners will also
walk out as will the miners of Nova
Scotia where the wage negotiations
are in progress.
The strike will be orderly. There
shall be no violations of the law, no
disturbances of the public peace. This
strike will call for moral courage,
loyalty of all members of the United
Mine Workers of America.

COUNTY CAUCUS
HELD YESTERDAY
Meeting OF Precinct Delegates At
The Courthouse Yesterday. Dal-
ance OF Power Plan Opposed.

The delegates selected in the var
ious precincts held their county con-
vention at the courthouse yesterday
afternoon. There were about 40 del
egates present. The meeting was in
the nature of a secret caucus and one
or two citizens who were not of the
right political faith were requested
to leave the room. .~.
John Mcintyre, as former chairman
Of the county organization called the
meeting to order. E. a. Duff of Da-
zey was selected as permanent chair
man for the day.
The seven delegates to the state
convention to be held at Fargo on
the 23rd were selected and are as fol-
lows: John Mcintyre, farmer of VAL
ley City; C. A. Fisher. Barnes county
treasurer; SaAn Oglesby, bonanza
farmer from the Leal district; Chas.
Noltimier, retiring senator from the
s8th district, E. A. Duff Of Darcy;
Howard Wilson from Leal and Mrs.
S. A. Zimmerman of Valley City.
The balance of power plan was dis
cussed at length and the convention
was found to be unanimously opposed
to the plan as presented by A: G..
Townley. The delegates to the state
convention were instructed to oppose
the plan on the 23rd.
The advisability Of endorsing can
didates for the various county offices
were discussed but it was the concen-
sus Of opinion that this would not be
a good policy and no endorsements
were made.
The legislative candidates for the
18th district were discussed but no
action was taken toward giving any
endorsement for this office, the con-
vention evidently feeling that their
interests would be looked after by one
of the candidates now in the field and
that no additional candidate was nee
essary from the non-partisan stand
point. The senator from this district
F. e. Ployhar, Is hold-over.
In the 98th district c. J. Olson, re-
firing representative for the district,
was endorsed for the senatorial seat
vacated by Chas. Noltimier. W. R.
Jones, of Sanborn, was endorsed to
fill the seat in the house formerly
occupied by j. Olson.
Although there was not a large
delegation present at the meeting,
owing to the conditions of the roads,
there was about equal representation
from the 18th and 38th legislative
districts. The meeting was harmon
ious and all decisions on matters Of
policy were made unanimously. The
decision to reject the balance of pow
err plan was predicted following the
meeting which Mr.. Townley address,
ed here on the 9Th in which he out
lined this plan briefly. His reception
at that time was not warm and it was
evident that the county would oppose
his proposition in convention.
