NATIONAL GUARD
PAY OF s1S,937
DELAYED BY STATE
Special Appropriation by
Legislature Must Be
Made, Belief,

Special appropriations will have to
be passed at the next session of the
Legislature to take care Of $1S,937.35
in National Guard pay rolls for the
period May 1, 1922 to Oct. /, 1922,
vouchers for which have been placed
in the hands Of State Auditor Robert
Bracken by Adjt. Gen. Harry B,
Smith.
Attorney General U. s. Lesh, in re-
ply to query by Bracken, has given
the opinion that these bills cannot be
paid out of current appropriations.
Lesh held that vouchers totaling $780,
7OO.4S, covering this years rental on
armories, may be honored by Bracken.
AS a consequence of Lesh's opinion,
State officials were wondering today
what provision will be made for pay
in~ soldiers for the six-month drill
period ending April 80. 1928, and for
the training pay at Camp Knox, KY,
last summer. 1t was estimated that
the drill pay for the period between
Oct. 1, 1922, and April 80, 1923, would
be equal to the amount of the period
following, approximately $4,000, and
that the summer camp training pay
would approach 100000.
General Smith today said he was
fearful that the soldiers cannot be
paid in full until n special approprt-
alton is made by the Legislature. He
said delays in forwarding company
pay rolls had been responsible for the
failure to file the vouchers sooner.
Since adoption of the national defense
act by the State. the Federal govern
ment has been t:isbursing drill pay to
the guardsmen.

Popular In Northwest
Ford is a popular figure in North
Dakota and throughout the Northwest
generally" said Governor Nestos of
North Dakota. However. a presiden-
tial boom for him has not yet bios
somed."
Ford has gained popularity among
the coal miners OF West Virginia by
the manner in which he has operated
his mines" said Governor Morgan,
but that does not imply the miners
would be solid for him in a presiden-
tial race"
Throughout the South the Ford-for-

lieve President Coolidge will make
good during the winter and have the

Alabama is behind Underwood, Of
course" said Governor Brandon. He
said Ralston was next in favor among
the Alabama Democrats.
Governor Mcleod Of South Carolina
said his State favored Underwood,
with McAdoo as a probable second
choice.
In Tennessee, according to Governor
Peay. the Ralston boom has gained
considerable strength.
The sentiment among Democrats in
New Jersey is for Governor Al Smith

ATTORNEY GENERAL RANKIN
IS ON THE JOB

Certain old line grain elevators OPP
Grating in Montana objected vigorous
ly to a new law passed by the last
legislature, as they did not want TO
be compelled to make delivery of grain
of the same grade and quality at ST.
Paul in accordance with its provis-
ions. So the other day, just when
the farmers started to deliver tnerr
grain, some of the old line companies
in certain sections of the state
started to run a "whizzer" by refus-
ing grain from farmers for storage
purposes, which compelled the farm
er to either sell his grain, dump II
IN the ground or haul it home again.
With characteristic -fearlessness, and
an inherent sympathy for the under
dog, Attorney General Rankin wired
the elevator companies, represented by
