Deputy Secretary of State, Maurice
w. Duffy, in looking into the cleo
tion laws governing contests believes
that the attempt Of Frank o. He'll
strom to bring ]. F. T. O'Connor be-
fore court Of justice will fail be-
cause of the legal requirements for
the bringing of such contest.
The law requires that contest be
filed within ten days of the compile
ton of the canvass. The language
of the law has been approved by the
supreme court in a case brought by
one Oleson against Hoge.
The North Dakota Canvassing
board completed its work and the
certificates of nomination were
signed July 9th. This would make
Sunday, August 6, the last possible
day for serving an action against any

ing in Bismarck is that the papers
did not reach the Grand Forks Coun-
ty Attorney for serving until Nom

COOPERATION
OF PEOPLE IN
STATE ASKED
Board of Railroad Commits
si0ners Issues Statement
on Coal Emergency

b Cooperation by the people Of the
state during the coal emergency is
asked by the board of railroad COM
missioners in statement issued by
Frank Milhellan, president Of the
commission. The statement fol-
lows:
"The Governor has designated the
Board of Railroad Commissioners as
Fuel Directors and Distributors for
the State of North Dakota. The
Commission is now engaged in maxi
ing survey to determine the amount
of coal now available for distribution
and the amount of Ignite that will
be mined under present existing
conditions. A survey is also being
made to determine the amount of
coal that will be required by public
utilities, governmental institutions,
wholesalers, retailers, industries and
households. The operators have
been called in conference at Bis
marck for Wednesday, August Q, and
in view of the fact that the Com
mission has also called q conference
on Ignite rates on the same day, it
is expected that there will be a large
attendance.
"The Commission will impress on
the operators the fact that = they
should not. take advantage of the
present emergency to increase the
price Of coal. The increased profits
should come from greater volume of
business and not from higher prices.
The Commission requests that wher-
ever possible Ignite coal be burned
so as to permit use Of eastern coal
for threshing needs. An effort is
being made by the Commission to
obtain sufficient eastern coal to pro-
vide for threshing operations.
"Appreciating the fact that many
people are not accustomed to burn
ing Ignite coal, the Commission has
requested Mr.. E. j. Babcock of Grand
Forks, to write bulletin describing
the best methods of burning Ignite
both in ordinary stoves and in fur
naces. We have also inquired as to
the best methods Of storing Ignite.
"The Commission earnestly So
licits the cooperation Of the people
of North Dakota in the present
emergency. We would like to be ad-
vised if dealers are charging extor-
tionate prices and will also be
to receive suggestions from
the public" ..

London, Aug. 9.-Premier Polncare

their objections upon the conviction
that the plan would be unproductive

Columbus, o., Aug. 9.-Candidates
favoring wine and beer and progress.
sivism within the Republican party
went down to defeat in yesterdays
statewide primary election in Ohio
according to returns early today from
more than 4,5OO of the 1886 precincts

The nine-cornered race for the Re

apparently was won by large mar
gin by Carmi A. Thompson of Cleve-
land, who was strongly supported by
President Harding's administration
and by the Anti-Saloon League
Thompson began life as coal miner,
became wealthy in oil, was elected
secretary of state, later became
treasurer of the United States and
now is engaged in the iron ore bust
ness. >r@ @
The outcome was considered by
many as vote of confidence in Pres
ident Harding.
Vic Donahey, of New Philadelphia,
who was the Democratic nominee for
governor two years ago, again will
lead his party state ticket in Novem-
Der, the returns indicated.
Senator Atlee Pomcrene of Canton,
Democrat, who was opposed by both
organized labor and by the Anti-sa-
loon League was renominated for the
United States se.ate, over former
Congressman John J. Lentz of Column
bus, who was strongly endorsed by

men with the exception of two, who
were candidates for other Offices ap-
