Control Of Nonpartisan Lsaesi
Principal Issue Before
Fargo Convention
[Associated press plspatch.l

Associated ITeSS' DtSpdtCtLJ
Fargo, N D., March %. Control
of the Nonpartisan League will rest
firmly with the farmers of North
Dakota, declared A. A. Liederbach
chairman of the executive commit
tee of the league, before he called
the organization session of the
league to order here late today. The
same sentiment was echoed by many
of the delegates and onlookers at
this statewide conference of the
members of the Nonpartisan League,
Methods by which this control might
be attained, however, caused wide
difference of opinion.
Elimination of both A. G. Town
ley and the executive committee
from places of power in league af-
fairs was freely discussed in the
preliminary convention gossip. This
view was openly expressed, 1t is re-
ported in closed meeting of leag
uers here last night when one
speaker advocated the getting rid
of all trouble makers" The plan
proposed by the men backing this
idea is to put the Courier News In
the hands of committee and TO
elect another committee that, while
not taking the place of the execu-
tive committee will have control OF
the policies of the league.
II am in favor of such a move,
said A. C. Townley, president Of the
National Nonpartisan League and
former organizer. and leader in this
state. Chairman Iiederbach did not
look upon the plan with such out
spoken favor being inclined to fear
that the move was that of Mr.
Townley in an effort to retain his
power in the state The rank and
file of the delegates as questioned
seemed to favor the plan but the
leadership or the forces which would
line, up. for it on the floor of the
convention was not In evidence.

BLOUSE LOOKS LIKE SWEATER
Season; Russian Influence 10
Quite Prominent.

The blouse that looks like a sweater
is one of fashions fancies this season.
Blouses appear in various cOlors and
color combinations, the most effective
by far being those in white with multi
cOlOred embroideries. Worn with white
linen or silk skirts, such a blouse
would be smart for summer
Blouses seem to have arrived at a
happy medium so far as length Is
concerned, few of the very long over
blouses being seen now, and those that
reach barely to the hips or at most
only an inch or two below are In the
majority. This length avoids the
definite break at the waistline, which
Is often unbecoming.
The Russian influence is quite prom
inent In the seasons showing OF
blouses. The Russian peasant sleeve.
the round neck with low outstanding
collar and the embroidered motifs that
trim many Of the blouses all carry out
this suggestion.
A good deal Of attention Is being
given to blouses in high shades, and
certainly such blouse Is smart with
a dark colored suit.
The vogue for Paisley prints con-
tinues, and crepe de chine printed In
small flowers and figures is also being
used to make some attractive blouses.
