vailable from about IS out of SO
counties in the state in a survey
made today by the Fargo Forum.
Indications are that fully IS del
egates out of 2O7, who will come to
Fargo for the state convention March
23, will have instruction to oppose
the Townley plan, the newspaper
says.
Sentiment for Gronna 49,.
III one county, Nelson, delegates
were instructed to seek endorsement
of Gronna as league candidate for
U. S. senator. and in Cavalier, Grand
Forks, Ward and Morton counties
some sentiment for Mr.. Gronna was
apparent in the meeting, according
to the Forum.
With apparent rejection of Mr..
ToWnley's plan whereby the league
would have abandoned it's old policy
of naming tickets it is apparent that
it is likely that the state convention
will be strongly divided on the
question of endorsing Gronna or
Lynn j. Frazier, former governor.
Many Counties Opposed
The group Of delegates instructed
to oppose the balance of power plan
include the following counties: Bar
mes, Cass. Steele, Williams, Adams,
Benson, Ramsey. LaMoure, Rich
land, Nelson, Griggs and Trail. '
Delegates from 8 other counties
will come without instructions, but
with a record vote of their county

are shown opposed to the change in
policy, These are: Kidder, Grand

Nominate Legislative Ticket
The convention nominated a leg
islative ticket but decided not to en-
dorse county ticket. One promin-
ent Lacquer declared after the
meeting that it would be a big mis-
take for the League to endorse a
county ticket as it just meant a
fight and would not further the
farmers program, which is purely
legislative.
The League candidates for the
state legislature are:
For the House: John Huepel,
farmer, Medina; John Rouzie, engin-
eer, Jamestown; John Dittbenner,
real estate and farmer, Woodworth;
Chas. Kribbs, farmer, Wimbledon.
There will be no election of state
senator as the present encumbent
holds over.
The attendance at the county
meeting was unusually small this
being due, according to the delegates
to the impossible conditions of the
roads in some cases and the lack of
finance in others. A county central
committee was appointed but the
organization was not completed.

CANADA VS.. CAROLINA

Matthew Bullock, a Negro who
escaped from a mob in Norlina, North
Carolina, and finally crossed the Dor
der into Canada, is the subject of a
heated dispute between North Caro-
lima governor and the Dominion De-
partment of Justice. Held by the
Hamilton police on advices from the
southern state, which accused him of
attempted murder, Bullock will be
liberated Friday of this week by the
Ontario magistrate unless evidence
showing his guilt is presented. Thus
TAR, the Carolina governor has refused
70 allow witnesses to be sent to Ham
nton to testify. He wires that treaty
relations with Canada should guaran-
tee the return to this country of "a
desperate criminal" and in the next
breath refuses to be subjected to the
Humiliation of having to appear be-
Iore some judge in a petty judicial
proceeding in Canada"
If Bullock is a desperate criminal.
,ne proceeding to recapture him can
not be designated as petty" So think
the Canadians. They learn that Bull
locks brother has already been
lynched by Norlina mob, and that a
fresh rope is ready for Matthew, with
out formality of trial by jury, which
they look upon as an essential pre-
liminary to capital punishment.
There is nothing anti-American in
Canada's attitude, as some southern
papers are inclined to think. Bullock
has been an exemplary citizen since
his arrival in the Dominion, and the
Hamiltonians, after looking him over,
promptly raised a fund for his de-
tense. Remembering that his brother
was yanked from the Norlina jail and
lynched on a charge of melting race
riot, they have decided that until the
Canadian law demanding proof of
guilt has been satisfied Bullock will
be protected.
This example of British justice stirs
resentment in BuIlock's home neigh
borhood, but nowhere else IN this lib
erty-loving republic. North Carolina,
II is said, started the stringing up
solution for suspects when Tory
was hanged in the 18th century at
Lynch Greek, whence comes the name
of this savage pastime. However
that may be, Carolina seems to have
set the pace for 1ynching bees ever
since. Canada will save her the in
fanny of another, in Bullock's case, If
possible.-The British American, Chi
cago, Illinois.
The latest in the Bullock case IS
that he has been released and he Will

History will perpetuate the story
of Colonel Charles Young who crossed
the seas to spread the seeds of lib
erty and self government in the fertile
soil of Africa where benighted men
of his race had looked out through
the ages for a Moses who was to lead
them to a promised land where free
dom and equal opportunity would be
a birthright and the blessings of lib
erty would melt the barriers of racial
prejudice with the benign rays of its
suns. No man was better fitted for
this task: America had afforded him
the fundamentals by birth and educa-
ton. He had fought in Cuba to strike
the despotic shackles of Spanish rule
from the limbs of countless thou
sands of his race. He had drawn in
spiration from service in Hayti where
the iIlustrious Toussaunt L'Overture
had humbled the naughty soldiers of
France and Spain to proclaim liberty
for the masses whose heritage had
been slavery. One may well pause
and reflect upon the history of San
Domingo where black man was the
first to write a constitution in which
freedom to worship ones God after
the dictates of conscience was to ap-
pear for the first time in the history
of the world.

honor him by following in his foot

and a standard of brotherly love
which will more closely unite US as
