of making out afidavits, applications
and certified copies of necessary doc

more and we want you in with us
if you are eligible. 1t is never too
late.
If any of the boys desire to sub

old time stuff in the paper. The COM

then. Cross your fingers and touch
wood.

WILLIAMS LEAGUERS REPUDI-
ATE COUNTY CONVEN-
TION ACTIONS

Williston, N. D., March 31.-Non-
partisans Of Williams county have
become divided as result Of the
distribution of favors by the county
convention in the endorsement of can
didates for county office.
Petitions nominating Carl Erick-
son Of Spring Brook, chairman of the
convention, for sheriff, in opposition
to Axel Strom, the conventions NOM
inee, indicates the extent to which
the split has developed. Strom form
erly was state manager of the leag-
ue.
Likewise petitions have been cir
culated for Earl Swiney, league coun-
ty treasurer, whom q group Of leag-
uers defeated for Endorsement in a.
movement secretly conducted ahead
of the convention. Herman Nelson
is the conventions nominee.
The action of the state convention
in putting o. A. Mattingl yon the
state executive committee has also
had its effect on the league unity
here. Mattingly is known as la
bcr agitator with rather extreme
views, and his declaration in the
county convention that the World
War had visited two infections on
the country, the American Legion
and the "fu," has not inspired the
farm leaguers to any great extent.

MISS NELSON RUMoR DENIED

Investigation of reports emanating
from the Nonpartisan league conven-
tion that there was a disagreement
between Miss Minnie J. Nelson, state
superintendent of public instruction,
and Governor Nestos or others Of
the state administration, has brought
denials Of the reports.
Asked concerning the reports Miss
Nelson said: .It was news to me-.
So far as am aware, it is absolute
ly false"
Governor Nestos denied upon ques-
tioning that there was a disagree
ment between him and Miss Nelson
on questions Of policy.
II am sure that as far as am
concerned, there is no trouble brew
ing" Governor Nestos said, "and
there has been no indication as far
as I know that Miss Nelson's atti-
tude toward the administration is
not friendly. We have discussed a
number Of matters, and have always
agreed upon the policies that ought
to be pursued. Both Of us believe in
maintaining high educational stan
dards, and the greatest efficiency Of
our common schools; both Of us be-
lieve in the need of well-trained
teachers, and that . good teacher
should have good salary. The la
!borer is worthy Of his hire, and that
'is most assuredly true when it comes
to those who are training the future
citizens Of the commonwealth. We
also believe in the great need Of
economy in the government of the
state and in the administration Of ev-
cry political subdivision within the
state, and do not believe that these
economies should be exercised in one
department or field Of endeavor
alone, but that we must try to find
every method Of saving money that
can be accomplished without injuring

BANKER DENIES CHARGES
Ry tho Associated Press


London, Jan. 8.--The British Home
Secretary today issued in the form Of a
Government paper the report on which
Sir Edgar Speyer's naturalization was
recently revoked.
Among the allegations contained in
the report are loan Of $4,000 to a
man named Ware for the benefit Of the
now non existent Boston Journal,
details Of Sir Edgar's association with
Karl Muck, former conductor Of the
Boston Symphony Orchestra, and with
John Koren; Sir Edgar's trafficking
and communication with enemy sub
tcts and his evasion Of the British
censorship.
New York, Jan. 8.-(By A. P.)-
Sir Edgar Speyer, international finan =
cier and former Privy Councillor OF
Great Britain, in a statement here con
cerning the British Naturalization Re-
,cking Committee, which recommended
that his citizenship be revoked because
Of charges Of disloyalty during the war
said he proposed ''in self defense to ex :
hibit in their true light the origin, his
tory and purpose Of the proceedings
against him.
"The decision Of the committee" he
said, ''is based on threo alleged
grounds, equally tenuous and unten-
able" What the committee character
lied as. trading with the enemy, he said
consisted of "trifling transactions In
arbitrage and exchange with n reliable
Amsterdam banking house, as though Il
were disloyal to deal with Holland dur
ing the war. as most British banking
houses, including ours, were doing with
the full knowledge of the Government.
The second chief allegation, hi
pointed out, that of communicating

with the enemy, consisted solely "of
with my sisters ana
their family in an entirely innocent
way"
The third count, be said, was really
that Of "evading the censorship with
the full knowledge Of the censor and In.
sisting upon the right TO do go, In all
matters which. were legitimate and In
nocent."
"The whole thing is neither more nor
less than the elimination Of years Of
political persecution"
Sir Edgar said he and his family
sailed for the United States In May,
1915, life for them In England having
become intolerable." Relinquishment
Of his public positions was declined, and
again, In 1918, he offered to give up
his titles and honors. but Lloyd George
ignored his proposal.
In 1910 the Home Office notified him
that charges against him, which related
to matters that occurred in the United
States, would be investigated by thu
committee. The proceedings LASTED
three months AMI testimony was taker
before former Judge Morgan j
O'Brien, Of New York. These charges
he said, were dismissed.
When the American charges had col.
lapsed, the statement said, Sir EdgaI

upon his arrival and much to his sur
prise, he was confronted with an en-
tirely new set Of charges, equally triv'

They were like statues Of stone.
And the hunters passing within 100

them. That is because the deer seemed
part of the bushes. The hunters
never dreamed that the brown patches
among the brown leaves were the deer
they were hunting.
Slowly the hunters made their way
through the snow, searching the woods
with their eyes for the deer they saw
and didn't see. 1t was Joke on the
hunters--a joke that almost made Jack

not been 30 great.
And as the hunters passed, Jack and
Janet saw that they really were their

Intimately $1,000, 900 to Mrs. Alice
Woolbert Bartlett, his sister in law,
and cut off his relatives.
Counsel for the appellants two weeks
ogo asked for an adjournment in the
csse TO produce Capers, whose evidence
s considered of the highest Importance.
The contest Is being made BY Miss Agnes
Nav Iippincott, of Philadelphia, who is

,Jyes, Mrs. Bartlett, the sole benef-
sisrv. ia the wife of former Director Of
public Safety William II. Bartlett, a
wealthy broker.
Judge Ingersoll held the case under
,dyisement at the conclusion Of argu-
msnt this afternoon. An early decision
Il expected because of the briefness of
~ hearing. Less than four days was
consumed @ in the legal battle.
Capers told Of conversation with
Nr. Gippincott which had taken place
On an automobile trip during the win
tsr Of 1920.
"Iippincott told me that he had pro-
vided for his family in will which he
unfolded before me. did not read it,
Ss hardly thought it proper to become
too inauisitive with n man to whom l
wanted to sell life Insurance." testified
the witness. -,
Capers declared that Ihppincott
snread out the will before his eyes for
period Of five minutes, and he could
easily have read its contents II he so
desired. The insurance man declared
that his companion added that In pro-
yiding for his relatives he was carrying
ont certain Of his fathers wishes. my
family is well taken care of in my es-
tate, which was held In sort of trust y
Capers declared Lippincott had told
him.
The will offered for probate Is dated
1901, and the codicil bears the date of
10i5. The conversation bringing in the
alleged new will was in 1920, and Lip
rincott, according to Capers, said at the
time It had been drawn after his brother
Franklin b. Lippincott, had died, which
was in 1911.
