that no person or press can stand
hostile to such legislation (non-
party election laws) and at the

deemed the state from the disgrace

when these Independents who nave

hibitiOn Cause Under
Scrutiny

New York, Feb. 26.-Acting
District Attorney Pecora announc-
ed this morning that he would go
before the grand jury this after
notn with request that William
II. Anderson, state superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League of New

grand larceny.
With four officials of the state
anti-saloon league under sub
poena. Mr.. Pecora expected to
present to grand jury today evil
dence concerning the manner in
which Supt. Anderson handled the
organizations finances.
Yesterday Mr.. Anderson. speak
ing in an Albany pulpit, declared
he was the victim of a "far-reach-
ing conspiracy" in which Tam
many, wet Republican machine
politicians and wet financial inter-
ests were involved.
He charges that the conspirators
were using Raymond B. Fosdick,
legal representative of the Rookie
fellers, and, IA personally hostile en-
ploye Of John ID. Rockefeller" to
help their fight.
This brought an immediate re-
sponse from John ID. Rockefeller
Jr. Telephoning from Foreman,
Florida, Mr.. Rockefeller authoriz-
ed statement in w:,ich he said:
"If Mr.. Fosdick is guilty of par
ticipation in any wet conspiracy l
am guilty. too, for he has repre-
sented me in this matter for two
years and have fully approved
his every action and he has had
and still retains my full confidence
" It insofar as the gifts
cf my father and myself to the an
ti-saloon league are concerned we
have ourselves published them on
several occasions. We feel that
the, source of all receipts of such
organizations as the anti-saloon
league should be known and that
also that a full public accounting
should be made of the use of the
money as contributed"
Mr.. Pecora's inquiry specifically
relates to $24,7 200 spent by the lea
que for publicity and charges
G. B. Phillips, collector for the
league, of splitting of commits
sions."

CHANGE CONFERENCE RESOLUTION TO
ELIMINATE "STR0NC ARM PROVISION

i'm another section. There are many
Independents, who believe they are
as strong opponents Of the Nonpar-
tisan league as any, Who object to
some provisions Of the election
laws.
These views include declarations
that the laws, with the new organi-
zaton, make permanent the Non
partisan league in North Dakota,
since Snder the laws only strong
organization can put candidates in
the field. They hold it postpones
the disintegration of the league
which they say has been in progress
for two years and has been height
ened as radicals turned attention
to national affairs, such as A. c..
Townley is reported to be doing.
That it opens the way for dicta-
torship in politics and prevents in
dependent thought and action on
either side, which they hold is bad
for the state.
That it preserves the form but
destroys the spirit of the primary
law and therefore will be unpopular.
That it does, in effect if not in
intention, destroy the fundamental
principle of action by political par
ties, and virtually breaks down tae
Republican and Democratic parties,
since the. organization controlling
the Independent Voters Association
will control the Republican and
Democratic parties. because indivi-
duals cannot make progress in the
latter two parties with the high re-
quirement of petitions to be can
didate, unless supported by the I. v.
A.
The arguments for the laws are
given fully elsewhere in this issue.
