FOR NEW PARTY
TEMPORARILY
South Dakota Delegates Delay
Farmer-Lab0r Or.
ganization
(By the ssociated Press.)

Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 29. Al
though the proposal for immediate
formation of farmer-labor part,
in South Dakota was rejected at the.
convention last night, the project
was not defeated but merely tenn
porarily delayed, delegates to the
meeting said today.
Having voted to go on record as
favoring formation of new politi-
cal party as soon as it is expedient,
the delegates rejected the proposal
to organize at yesterdays session.
This, it was declared, means only
that actual formation Of the new
party will be delayed until after the
national meeting in Chicago on De-
cember II.
Yesterdays meeting disclosed that
there is division of sentiment
among the labor men and also among
the farmers, although the latter
group are more nearly united. Dele
gates intimated that formation Of
the new party would mean, not
race in which four parties would di-
vide the vote, but closer union Of
the voters now allied with the non
partisan league and the Democratic
party in the state. 1t was pointed
out that should the coalition be COM
'pleted there would be a sufficient
number of ballots in the party to
control every office in the state.
However, delegates said that some
of the voters undoubtedly would be
slow to change from the older par
ties and this would necessitate con-
tinuing the older parties through
the 1924 elections. Under the state
law, each party holds its own pre-
liminary meetings and may nominate :
a candidate for every office to be
filled or may leave the nomination
vacant. As there have been number
of offices for which no candidate
was named in past elections, this
probably would be the method of
the vote of the new
party, delegates declared, should
such a party be formed.

Chicago, Nov. 29.--Georges Gle
menceau halted his appeals for AM
erican friendship for France today
for day of rest in preparation for
the continuation of his tour Thurs
day morning. .-.
Last night he remained up for an
hour past his usual bed time, or un-
til nine o'clock, despite the strain
Of his speech at the auditorium and
the greatest ovation he has received
since his arrival in America.
Nevertheless he was up shortly
after dawn broke today at the Rot
ter Palmer home where he has been
housed. r
Although no formal program has
been outlined it was expected he
would spend the day receiving a
few callers and in making an auto
mobile tour Of the city.
He also read with much interest
comments on his speech of yesterday
in which he declared that while
France was seeking only peace, war
was being forced upon her.

Lausanne, Nov. 29.-The Lausanne
conference sensitive to any political

Europe, is greatly excited by news
of the execution Of the former Greek

to by the tense atmosphere sur

under a nervous strain similar to
that experienced at the Paris treaty

animation. In New Brunswick, how
ever, there was evident strong dis
inclination to permit the case to fall
into the class of unsolved crimes.
Persons who wish the investigation
continued point hopefully to the fact
that Mrs. Jane Gibson, hailed by the
state as its star witness, still was
under close obervation at her farm.
This, they speculated, indicated that
the inquiry was to be pu:fed fur
ther.
The only expression coming from
the home of Mrs. Frances Noel Hall,
widow of the slain rector of the
Episcopal Church Of st. John the
Evangelist, was uttered by her law
yer, Timothy N. Pfeiffer: He said

guilty.

There are few men in St. Paul as
widely known by their first names as
is Pierce Butler--and there are few
who know so many men by theirs.
The reason, Butler is St. paul's
best known and liked attorney.
Born in log cabin near here Sc
years ago, Butler has always re-
tained the democratic manners
learned early in life. a.
He received his first education in
rural schools
His college education was obtained
at Carleton college, Northfield,
Minn.. /under utmost difficulties. The
college was five miles from his home,
necessitating ally 1O-mile trip.
Lack of funds made it necessary
that he miss every other year, that
he might, by manual labor, earn
funds to continue. Despite these
handicaps, he was graduated at the
age of 21, with highly creditable
record.
Butler has never been seeker Of
public office, and has refused many
times to be candidate for various
positions. The only Offices he has
held has been assistant county at
torney, county attorney, member Of
the city library board, member of the
city charter commission, and on the
University of Minnesota library
board Of regents. However he has
retained a keen interest in politics,
as a Democrat, and has done much
active campaigning for his party.
Butler attributes much Of his sue
cess in life to his wife's influence
and help. u
Of their seven children, one daugh-
ter is now studying law at Uni
versity of Minnesota, and another

World War. Four Of his sons served

Lansing, Mich, Nov. 29.-Mayor
James Couzens of Detroit today was
appointed by Governor Alex ].
Groosbeck as United States Senator
from Michigan to fill the unexpired
term of former Senator Truman H.
Newberry who recently resigned.
Mayor Couzens has accepted the
appointment, the governor said.
The notification Of his appoint
ment has been forwarded to Mr..
Couzens at the hotel Belmont in New
York City. The appointee is in New
York to spend Thanksgiving Day with
his daughter, college student. The
governor announced Mr.. Couzens,
who has gained nationwide promi-
nence through his municipal railway
venture here, would take his seat in
the senate as soon as his Detroit af-
fairs could be arranged.
Z Announcement of the appoint
n1ent followed weeks survey of
the more than half hundred kinds.
'Mr. Couzens becomes senator
with not a single string attached"
the governor said. "He made no
promises; I exacted none."
Appointment Of the Detroit mayor
to the senate is seen in political
circles as exploding the belief pre-
viously advanced in some quarters
that the governor himself would be
a candidate for the senate for the,
full term at the 1924 general cleo
tion.

WHY WE SHOULD
BE GRATEFUL
By Ex-senator Cole.

Having lived in this land dedicated
to clife. liberty and the pursuit of
happiness for more than 100 years,
l am perhaps entitled to say what
I believe the nation has to be crate
full for at this Thanksgiving season,
namely:
That we weathered the most dis
astrous of all wars with so little
real distress, and that we are not
under the appalling shadow which
hangs over so many of the carth's
less fortunate peoples.
That we have come again into an
era of general prosperity and stabil-
ity out of threatened chaos.
That the principles upon which
the United States was founded-a
government by the majority, built
upon the rights with which all hu-
man, beings are endowed-have not
been shaken by recent internal and
external events.
That the spread of these principles
throughout: the world IA spread
which is sure, though slow in spots
-presases time when all nations
will live in amity together.
That there are no more laws than
already poster us in attempting to
dictate and regulate our thought and
conduct. Goodness knows there are
too many already, and that our gov
ernment should be far simpler)
That the women, bless them, ar.
doing better than I, for one, expect
ed, in using their responsibility Of
franchise for sound, constructive
policies. H..
That this young and sometimes be-
wildered nation is developing such
sound common sense, in the main,
as it approaches it's age Of maturity,
in both domestic and foreign rela-
tionshins. =
That. summing it all up, perhaps
the fathers of our country would not
need to be alarmed or ashamed if
they could see how nearly we Of to-
day have followed their vision in real
izing their splendid ideas of a free
government.

In. addition two daughters and a
son, were missing from one fam
lily, three daughters from second,
and three sons from. third. One
father sought his two sons, another
his daughter. ..
Practically all the children, it was
said, most seriously burned are un-
der ten years of age. Two Of thos.
who are believed to have lost their
lives were eight years old.
When the fire which is believed to
have started from an overheated
stove. was discovered the hall way
was in flames and the stairs had al
ready crumbled, blocking the only
door to the second floor room in
which were 40 children. |
Mrs. Oscar Grant, the teacher, o..
dered the children to line up and be-
gan dropping them to the ground,
thirty feet below, her own child
among them. The flames entered the
room and engulfed the teacher and
three remaining children.
Mrs. Grant said she tried to save
the children but failed. When she
jumped her clothing was in flames.
She was seriously injured.
The school house was a two story
frame building. Authorities say the
building had been condemned as a
fire trap more than a year ago and
funds had been provided for new
freproof building. The erection of
the new school was delayed because
of a dissension among residents as
to its location.

Predict Passage


Republican leaders were predict
ing passage of the administration

gin when the house proceeds to a
final vote on the measure not later
than 4 p. m. today after final ses-
sion for consideration Of amend
msnts. Although several more or
less radical changes in the bill we're
adopted yesterday, all of these were
offered by Republican members and
the rejection in quick succession Of
nearly two score more amendments
offered by Democrats hostile to the
measure had sustained confidence
among its friends of safe margin
in the final test today.
Important among the changes vot-
ed yesterday was an amendment ne
cessitating the authorization by
congress each year Of payments from

tors of American ships, this being
generally viewed among members
not only as doing away with a per-

fording a check on expenditures.
