er john Coolidge, who is notary public.
Other presidents have taken the oath on high
rOstrum before the capitol at Washington with the
chief justice of the supreme court administering it,
with troops drawn up in gttering array, with bands
and flags and vast cheering crowds of witnesses.

not responsible to the league or to
the farmers. This matter came to Il
head - the convention at Bismarck,
March 3, 1923, when, by vote of
lib to 80 the convention voted to
have the title remain with the ma
tional committee. This was only at
tanned by pouring out the usual
amount of opiates which lulled to
sleep too many of the delegates. They
had been alarmed by the attempt in
December to sell the paper-which
was reported as nearly put over by
Townley himself in company with
Paddock on one side, N. S. Davies of
the North Dakota Leader, acting as
'go-between' with j. 2. Dotson. A
second attempt was made in January
during the session of the legislature,
which, it is said, was ended by serv-
ing upon Mr.. Dotson copy of the
courts injunctional order. N.Y.. Dot
son is reported to have said very
wisely at that time that he wanted
to buy newspaper, not lawsuit,
and to have given over the idea of
purchase. This, however, kept the
league legislative members stirred
up and majority of them met and
appointed committee to investigate
the situation and report. Such an
investigation was made, Senator John
l.. Miklethun going to Fargo and get
ting report covering the financial
status and all information relative to
the proposed purchase and making
it in formal report to the legisla-
tors.

vising him of the sentiment of the
Nonpartisans as to the ownership of
the paper and offering to buy or take
over the property. In response to
this there came a letter signed by
