Probably no time in the history of
this state have the people been so
completely at sea regarding the U. S.
senatorship. It is peculiar condit-
ion. McCumber, by his attitude to-
ward the people of the state, partic-
ularly in the matter of appointments,
has practically told the people to go
to sheol or some other place equal
ly as hot, and has recognized the
stalwart Mckenzie faction here, thus
telling the independents to go fall in
the lake. This has not made the in
dependents feel any too good and the
consequence has been that the senior
senator fell from public favor very
rapidly. His chances for renomina-
ton up until a few days ago were nil.
Then along comes Mr.. Gronna, who
insisted on trying to break into the
nonpartisan convention and to be en-
dorsed by that bunch. Up to that
time Mr.. Gronna had very fine
chance but he made the mistake Of
his life in trying to ride two horses
at one and the same time, and now
he has slipped down the downward
road very fast. His actions have
eliminated many thousands of voters
who thought kindly Of him up to
that time. He went out last fall and
fought for the principles advocated
by the independents against the
principles Of state socialism advocat-
ed by the Liederbach bunch and that
placed him in very high esteem all
over the state, then he stopped over
and you know the rest. Then the
convention of leaguers at Fargo last
Saturday nominated Frazier. Well,
it is presumed that the leaguers will
generally support Lynn, so that you
can readily see just what funny po-
sition we of North Dakota are in at
this time. The jamestown convention
may be able to iron out the kinks but
we do not believe it can. Frazier
will remain in the race, Gronna will
want to get McCumber's scalp and
we doubt if you can lift him out Of
the race with a derrick, and you all
know that McCumber, being in the
saddle will remain there until he is
thrown out. So it all settles down to
this fact: that with three men run
ming for United States senator the
betting would be in favor Of Frazier
winning the republican nomination.
Then the democrats could put up a
clean cut man and the fusionists
could get together and put him over
in the fall. Very simple, isn't it
on paper.

St. Paul, March 29-Commence-

in the school of agriculture, Univer-

was delivered by Dean Coffey. Re-

Dispatches from Washington We
garding the United States senator
ship anent Judge Christianson's quail
ifications for being candidate, arc
certainly encouraging. If, as the ar
ticle published elsewhere in this is
sue is correct, and the people want
the judge to be their candidate, he
will be seated in the United States
senate if he is elected. This certain
ly gives the independents great
chance to make coup by going up
to jamestown and putting over his
nomination. There is no man now
mentioned in the state who can draw
the votes as would Judge Christian
son-and in addition to that he has
the necessary qualifications and the
poise to make a good senator. Why
fool around with couple of other
chaps who are flirting with the MOL
partisan league one day, throwing a
sop to the independents the next day
and on the third day hanging on 70
the coat tails of Alex Mckenzie.
Ditch the other two candidates and
get behind a real citizen who is al!
right all the time-100 per cent
right for the state. If the juc::e
does not want the nomination or re-
fuses to take it we have several good
citizens we could nominate. We 40
not have to depend on either Gronna
or McCunber for a candidate. 1t
seems to us that this statement from
Washington is clarifying the atmos-
phcre considerably.
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1922-03-30

The Times-Record this morning has
received a very nicely printed report
of the North Dakota Industrial Com
mission for the year ending December
81, 1921. The most astounding thing
about the report is that it is printed
without the union label and in fact
the printer seems to be ashamed of
putting his imprint upon the work,
although it is mighty good job.
The point we want to make, however,
is that the state law makes it abso-
lutely binding that no printing can be
done for the State of North Dakota
unless that printing carries the union
label. The Times-Record has been
denied work from our State Teachers
College because the shop is now non
union, yet this Bismarck concern is
allowed to print booklet without the
label and it seems to get by. We just
want to know why one shop can do
this and not another. As we under
stand the law the industrial commits
sion has no right or authority to pay
the union label is great injustice
and the sooner it is repealed the bet
ter. AS it now stands there are only
four shops in the state carrying the
label and these can bid whatever price
they feel like. Our home institution
occasionally has some small job work
that it needs done in a hurry but I'M
Ger the beautiful and unfair nonpari
the bill for this report, being done
contrary to law. We feel that the
law compelling printing Offices to run
san law the work must be sent to Bis
narck or some other place causing
long delay and entailing higher
cost to the tax payer for this work.
But where is the label on this piece
Of work done for the state?

yond all others, did more to shake
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1922-03-30

In this issue OF the Times-Record
appears the official call for the indie
pendent convention to be held at
jamestown on April 10. Barnes
county will be entitled to 16 dele
gates in that convention, ten from
the fifteenth district and six from
the thirty-eighth district. This con-
|vention will nominate a complete
state ticket including three supreme
court Judges, United States senator,
three congressman and other offic-
ials. Each congressional district will
name it's own candidate for congress.
Congressman George NJ. Young is a.
candidate for reelection in this, the
second district, and we look for his
nomination at Jamestown, although
he will have some opposition. Judge
Englert has been nominated by the
nonpartisan convention for supreme
court judge and inasmuch as the :,om
ination came without his seekirg it
and he has made fearless statement
of his position, we would rather think
| it would be good thing to nominate
Judge Englert one of the three: which
would insure his election as men,-
Der of our supreme court who would
be absolutely fair to all the people
regardless of politics.
The Courier News in this mornings
issue carries an editorial to prove that
the farmer pays ALL of the taxes;
seemingly under the impression that
most people dispute that fact. They
state that the farmer, being unable to
fix the price of his product and being
forced to buy his supplies from mer-
chants who can fix their price. is at
the bottom in the game Of passing it
on" There is no argument over that
question as it is a self evident fact
but what makes the editorial ridicul-
GUS is the fact that this unreasonable
tax burden has been forced onto the
farmer, by the program put through
by the leaders of the farmers organ
ization and strongly advocated by
the Courier News. We fail to see
how any paper may lay any claim to

consistency when they print two edi-
torials in adjoining columns, one edi-
torial championing the continuance of
the state ownership program, which
has proven itself to be failure, and
the other bemoaning the fact that the
farmer is obliged to pay ALL of the
taxes, which have been so unreason-
ably increased by that same program.

SIR ROCHE PAGES RECORD MILE IN WINNING FEATURE

Columbus. O.. July 27.-The free for all pace. one of four events on todays grand circuit program was the Columbus driving park track. developed into a worlds record breaking affair. when Sir Roche, the -year-old pacing gelding owned by E. L. Randall of Chicago defeated a field of eight in the three fastest heats ever paced by a gelding.
 His miles were made in 1:59 %, 2:02 and 2:01. The former record was held by Sanardo, made out at Syra- cuse last year. Sanardo's time was 2:o0%. 1:5e% and 2:03h.
 Roy Grafton was the pacemaker in each event.
 Sir Roche today became the six teenth pacer to step a mile in less than two minutes. His 1:59& was rated by quarters as follows, 30, 80, 30 and 29% seconds.
 Great Brltton handily won the 2;05 trot. the Neilhouse stake purse S3000 from Prince Loree, the fav- orite, who was off form. E. Col- orado made Great Britton step the fastest trotting heat of the year in the second mile of his race which was "clocked" at 2:0SA. This also was new record for Great Brit ton.
 The 2:16 class pace went to Neita Patch in straight heats. The final event of the card. the 2:1s class trot, was the poorest race of the meeting to date. Tom Boy won this race.

Volunteer For Duty

Mayor Parker told the meeting
 that an emergency ordinance had been adopted by the city council au- sthorising an increase in the police force of 100 extra men. and called
 for volunteers among the audience
 if it were found necessary to make
 this increase at a moments notice.
 Every man present, ss, volunteered
 to serve when called on.
 The meeting was called as a result
 of beating given R. E. Vicks, a
 traveiing auditor of the Mobile and
 Ohio railroad, who was accosted on
 the streets early Wednesday morn
 ing by a party of unidentified men
 and taken into the country in an
 automobile and severely beaten

 order from Vice President E. E. Nor
 ris of the Mobile and Ohio annulling r-all but two passenger trains on tha.
 road through Meridian and refusing
 to further attempt to operate local ]. freight trains.
 Vice President Norris, who was In q Meridian today, attended the citi-
 zens' meeting at the Chamber of
 Commerce and made the following E statement which he said was a :. resume of circumstances leading up , to the present situation.
 That the shop crafts were on July . ] called out throughout the nation z on a strike against decisions of the l. United States railroad labor board, involving three points:
 First, farming out shop work and contracting shops.
 Second, Seven working rules to which the shop crafts took excep- - tions."
 Third, decisions as to rates of pay . to become effective July 1. 1.

 {. This is. then. IS l have repeat tedly atold committees of strikers and other employees, not a dispute between the

 Since the affective day of the strIlse~this. has not, here or elsewhere, employed single man to take the place of any member of the shop crafts. On the the contrary, it has enlisted the active efforts of it's officers and employees to go into the roundhouses. cinder pits and coal ckutes in overalls and do our utmost to keep passenger and freight traffic moving.

INDUSTRIAL COURT TO MEET SECOND
 TEST IN KANSAS
To Be Main Issue in General Elec- ton, Republicans For, Demo
 crats Against.

Topeka, Sept. 8.-Having weather
 ed the storm which threatened it in
 the primary election, August I, the Kansas Court of Industrial Rela- tions now faces a new test. lndlca- tions are strong that it will be the
 main issue in the general election,
 November 7, with the republican party backing it unreservedly, and
 arrayed against it, the democrats. w. Y Morgan,~ editor of the Hut
 chinson News, who won the republi- can nomination for governor in the primary election, is a strong advo-
 cate of the court He had the back
 ing of Gov. H. J. Allen, father" of
 the industrial court art. The main
 fight in the primary campaign against the industrial court act was made by labor unions, through their state organization, and several anti taxation leagues which selected Fred w. Knapp of Salina as their candi- date for the republican nomination..
 Returns show Knapp ran fifth in a field of seven candidates and carried but one county-Salina, in which he resided. Incidentally, the sixth and seventh honors in the race went to the two women candidates-Miss Helen Pettigrew, on light wine and beer platform, and Mrs. w. D. Mowry, advocate of more office work and less oratory." Neither of the women carried a single precinct of the 2,53o in the state.
 All three democratic candidates for governor on the primary ticket advocated repeal of the industrial court act. Jonathan M Davis, the
 successful candidate, is expected to carry the same pledge into the cur rent campaign. Having failed to elect their choice for the republican nom ination in the primary, union labor leaders now declare they will switch their forces to the democratic side of the fray because of that party's opposition to the industrial court. Candidate Davis is farmer and will
 make strong appeal for the farmer vote. At the same time he will advo-
 cate the labor unions cause for the abolition of the industrial court. The returns of the primary election show conc1usively that neither farmers nor the labor members rallied to the an- ti-industrial court standard, and that primary campaign efforts to amalga- mate farmer and labor forces were
 pretty much in vain.
 But MT. Davis is optimistic. He points to the fact that the primary vote, being split 10 different ways in
 the two parties gubernatorial con tests, can be taken as a criterion of
 two-way split on November 7. There will be third nominee in the No vember 7 race-M. L. Phillips of
 Mcdonald, heading the socialist tick
 et But former elections have shown
 that the socialist vote is only nom
 inal in Kansas and, political observ-
 CTS say, will cut little figure III the November election.
