Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1922-03-30

The league forces have finally made
their choice. After several weeks of
bitter fighting among themselves,
they have elected to place an entire
ticket in the field for congressional,
judicial, legislative and state offices.
AS one looks back over the history
Of the Nonpartisan League, it seems
more like the unfolding of some sto-
~ of fiction rather than of fact. In
1915 the great political machine
swept all before it. In 1918 it du-
plicated it's original feat, and swept
into every position of power in the
state except the lone Office of state
superintendent of public instruction.
Both houses Of the legislature were

result Of the league action.
OF the three men originally elected
to the supreme court by the league,
only one of them, Grace, registered
socialist, has weathered the storm
that followed in the wake of defeat.
Robinson and Birdsell have both fail
ed to hold the good will Of the organ
ization that put them on the bench.
True, Birdsell, by his judicial indie
pendence, has served notice that he
would rather be an honorable Judge
than league favorite. Geo. Wallace,
former tax commissioner, and Eng
lert, a league district judge, fill the
judicial ticket on the league slate.
Fannie Amidon, Of Valley City, has
been given the troublesome job of do
ing what Neil Macdonald and Ruth
johnson could not do-retire Miss
Nelson as state superintendent of
schools. T
That league convention is entitled
to credit for one thing, at least. 1t
has refused to sanction a political
frame-up between Townley and Por-
ter J. McCumber. It has elected to
fight losing fight rather than &C.
cept the barter-and-sale balance-of-
power plan proposed by Townley.
Few people conversant with the con-
ditions profess to believe that the
league will unseat the Nestos admin
istration. The league machine has
been badly mashed up since the cam
paign of two years ago. Scores of
league state officials have walk6d the
plank, and cannot handle the league
campaign at state expense. The leag-
ue organization is admittedly thous-
ands of dollars in debt, nearly half
million, if the debts of all the league
agencies are considered. Campaign
funds will be hard to gather, and the
strategy of Townley will be mis-
sing in the fight. If the independents
follow out their plan of attempting to
support ticket partially in the re-
publican column and partially in the
democratic column, the league may
possibly retain four or five minor Of
fees. Beyond that they have little
hopes of success.
Whatever may develop in the cam
raigns of 1922, the state of North
Dakota will never again see the rad
ical administration it has had in the
past few years. Even the leaguers,
should some chance of fate land them
back on top, will never again attempt
the radical ideas they tried before.
This year will probably see the wind
up Of the fighting between league
organization and coalition Of re-
publicans and democrats. Another
year will see candidates running for
office on their individual merits. The
hatred and bitter class wars of re-
cent years have materially subsidized
already. We are on the mend, and
better times for all of us appear to
be in sight.

controlled by it. Its strength il
North Dakota had become far great
|ler than even its fond supporter:
could possibly have foreseen. Ant
its complete and entire original sue
cess proved to be its own undoing.
Had the various elements in the
ranks of the nonpartisan league beer
as watchful in those early days a:
|they were in their recent state con
|vention, the league might today b.
the ruler of the state, and our people
might have avoided many of the ser
|ious set-backs they have received.
| Today we find the league secon
Diary power in state affairs. It ha:
been pried loose from control of the
strategic positions of government
with the exception Of majority Of
one lone vote in the state senate
And the defeat of the league has
been the thing that has caused it,
membership to take stock of them
selves and to sense where they have
been headed. The state convention
has finished it's job. Townley has
found out plainly that he can ne
longer control his own forces. The
old league state executive committee
has been swept from power. Lemke
Hagan, Robinson, Liederbach, How.
ard Wood, and many Of the old-time
war horses have been summarily
dropped from active control. Frazier
alone is the only one Of the old heads
who has weathered the storm in his
own ranks. He has been picked AZ
one Of the leagues chief standard
bearers, not to participate in stats
affairs, however. He will be the leag
ue candidate for United States ssna
tor.
In state affairs the change has
been complete. Very few familia,
faces will appear in the league ad.

ernor. Many a Lacquer will ask
"Who is Baker?" Baker has been s

the rank and file of the league fore
es in the senate. Last year he act

C. v. AND GEORGETOWN
|. CUNTS IN SECOND TILT

George Washington basketers will
trip to Ryan Gymnasium tomorrow
night for their second engagement of
the season with the Georgetown Uni
versity quint. While the Hatchetites.
on form, are not rated as sturdy as
the Hilltoppers. they are certain to
give their opponents terrific argu-
ment. In their previous tilt at the
Coliseum the .Hatchet team was
downed by Georgetown, 27 to II, but
the match was more fiercely contested
than the score indicates.
Georgetown apparently has struck
the stride that made it so formida BILE
last season. Against Lebanon Valley,
an exceptionally strong team. the
Hilltoppers played brilliantly Satur-
day night, and the same lineup hurl-
ed against George Washington can be
expected to provide thrilling per-
formance. Coach CollifioWer likely
will open play with Florence and Fla
vim. forwards; O'Connell, center, and
ZaZZai and Byrne, guards.
Examinations have kept the Hatch
cities out decomposition for ten days,
but they have not neglected their daily
drills. All of the men are in excel
lent condition, SO Coach Morse will
have his best combination in the fray.
That means that GUIDE and Bracklaw
will be at forwards, Altrup at center
and Daily and Hughes in the back
court

President Heydler of the National
League is an optimist and sees no
war in sight no matter what may
happen in this present inability to
bring about uniform opinion between
the major and the minor leagues. 1t
is a very sound attitude. The minors
have not made any threats. They
simply ask to be let alone to handle
the player question in their own way.
In the first year of the plan for re-
organized baseball rhe class IA
leagues profess to have learned that
they can operate better under the
new method than they did under the
old. The Pacific Coast League admit
tedly is thousands of dollars better
off than it would have been if there
had been a draft law. because with
the draft law their best players woHld
have had to be disposed of before the
draft period arrived or be subjected
to loss by conScription by the major
leagues. No one can wonder, there
fore, that the Pacific Coast League is
not crazy to go back to old conditions
at once.
In the International League the Bal
timore club has been held intact. 1t
would not have been If there had
been a draft because there are five
major league clubs that would have
put in a draft for one >of the Balti-
more players and Dunn would have
lost either Bentley or Ogden for the
ura1I price. Jointly, tney represent
at least $4,000 worth of bail players
AS ball players have been going. and
one of them would have brought only
$4,000 if the draft had been in effect.
The American Association has
twenty players. who would have been
draft desirables. Only eight of them
could have been selected, but one of
the eight would have been SINNERS
of Indianapolis. for whom the New
York Nationals are said to have
tossed $25.00O on the table in one way
or another. Whether they did or they
did not, they undoubtedly paid hand
somely and Indianapolis is much bet
ter off than it would have been under
the draft law and Indianapolis is
smart enough to know it.
Were the draft in effect it would
make but little difference to the lead
ing clubs in the major leagues. I'm
der the new method the tail-end clubs
would have first choice and if there
were any really desirable players to
be had, who were needed by the
wabbly leaders, the latter would have
to get into the market with attractive
offers and take them away before the
drafting season began. And if you
want to know it, there are some
leading major clubs which realize
that very fact, and which are not so
gosh almighty" particular whether
there is draft or isn't.
