DEMAND THAT

WILL BE MADE
NOnpartisan League COnven>
ti0n Expected to Decide on
Petition of Members

Important developments affecting
the future of the Nonpartisan
League will come before the state
convention, called here for Friday
and Saturday, it became known to-
day.
One wing Of the party, opposed
to William Lcmke, former Attorney
General, will demand his retirement
from activity in the league and
from any controlling position in the
Fargo Courier News, according to
information from some of his oppo-
nents.
A petition already has been placed
in circulation and signed by at least
40 to so prominent Nonpartisans
making demand for the retirement
of Mr.. Lcmkc. long an active leader
in the league.
One of the important questions
expected to be disposed of is the
future of the Cburier-News, and a
determination as to whether it shall
be retained for all the league mem
bership or in the hands Of the Non
partisan Publishing Company, and
whether reported deals for sale of
the organ will be permitted to go
through.
The league convention probably
will not meet before Friday night,
and then only if the legislative decks
are cleared to permit members Of
the legislature to attend.

apportionment of legislative repre-
sentation among the counties of
North Dakota passed the senate late
yesterday.

made to amend the measure, sew
eral of them being obviously fer
purposes of delay. Senator Byrne
wanted Williams and Mckenzie
counties divided into two districts.
The amendment was voted down.
Then Senator Nathan objected to
the uniting of Kidder and Sheridan
counties into one district as is pro-
vided in the bill. Senator Ingerson
didn't like the way the districts in
Ward county were defined. These
amendments also were voted down.
Checked here the league senators
started to move for indefinite post
ponement. for putting the bill at the
foot of the calendar etc. and de-
manding a roll call on every motion.
Finally Senator Whitman of Grand
Forks moved the previous question
and thus shut off further debate.

ENTER PROTEST
AT RATES FOR
SPUD GROWERS
Railroad Commission Says
North Dakota Growers
Disseminated Against

Rates which will discriminate ma
terially against potato growers of
North Dakota were permitted to go
into effect today by the Interstate
Commerce COMMISSIONS according to
information received by the state
railroad commission.
The commission, according to V.
f. Smart, traffic manager, launched
another vigorous protest, against the
action Immediately, and this will oe
followed up by further strenuous
efforts.
The rates are on potatoes moving
from Idaho and Utah territory int D
Missouri river territory over the
Union Pacific, Denver Short Line
and Denver and Rio Grande. The
rates were proposed by the railroads
themselves and the information re-
ceivcd here was that the Interstate
Commerce Commission had refused
to suspend the rates, which was
temporary.
A letter from the railroad COM
mission to representatives of the
Northern Pacific, 500 line and Great
Northern today said:
eve ask that you consider upon
receipt Of this letter, the advisabill-
ty Of checking in prOportionate re-
ductions on one days notice, if pro-
per permission can be secured from
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. Our potato growers and ship
pers cannot meet the competition in
the Missouri River territory unless
favorable consideration is given by
the North Dakota roads and their
connections to similar reductions
from North Dakota points to Mis-
souri, River territory"
