The great battle Of all legislatures
impends again. 1t comes just as in
evitably as in previous sess ons -
just a surely as headache after
the night before, just as surely as
death, taxes and as regularly as the
announcement of Charlie Chaplin's
engagement.
For the Third House speakership
fight is on. The battle will be short,
because election will be held We'd
nesday afternoon after the sess ons
adjourn, but it is none the less stren-
uous.
There are three candidates in the
ring, all, of course, only because Of
the demands of their constituents
and not because they want to lead
the Third House ball grand march.
They are w. F. Cushing. chief clerk,
proposed for the western part of
the state; Dana Wright of James,
town, the candidate Of the far famed
independent organization of Stuts-
man county and Nose Rosenweig Of
Grand Forks and elsewhere.
After all night caucuses the adher-
cnts Of. two of the candidates were
all out Of sp rits, and they hesitate
to say most anything. All except the
supporters Of Wright, who is being
run on a "dry" platform in spite Of
the fact that he recently was sherf #
Of Stutsman county. His people were
feeling fine and gum-shoeing in great
shape, fresh from the night before.

view with her family assured them
that she went to her death with no
guilt on her soul.

demonstration but women marched
IN drizzling rain before the walls
Of Holloway Jail. carrying piacards

hours Of the morning determined to
get as close to the scene of the hang
ings as the law would permit.
After last-minute efforts to re-
prieve the pr soners had failed, Mrs.
Thompson and Bywaters were visited
by relatives.
Mrs. Thompson, in her last inter-
view said: ~ am prepared. l have
nothing on my soul" She added that
Bishop Steffey who had visited her
earlier in the night, asked her if
she had anything to confess and she
replied: Nothing, am Innocent"

AUTO PLANT
AT ST. PAUL
Purchase 167 Acres on Mis-
sissippi River Near High
Dam
$315,OOO FOR THE SITE
Application Made by Company
To Utilize Power Gen.
Grated There

st. Paul, Jan. 9.-Plans to estab-
lish a large plant IN st. Paul for
manufacture of automo obiles and trac-
tors were announced here today by
representatives Of the Ford Motor
Company.
The Ford company today completed
the purchase Of 167A acres of land
on the Mississippi river Immediately
adjacent to the government high
dam at cost of $315,000 as the site
for the plant.
Application has been made to the
federal government by the Ford COM
pany for the power rights at the dam
but if this is denied the company
will erect a plant to be operated en-
tirely by steam, the announcement
said.
If the water power rights are
granted it is planned to build $l0,-
900, 900 manufacturing plant ultimate
ly to employ between $4,000 and 49,
900 men. 1t will be on a somewhat
smaller scale if the power rights are
denied.

the plant, the Chicago, Milwaukee 4
st. Paul railway announced it would
extend it's traffic and construct a
bridge across the Mississippi river,
the entire expansion to involve ap-
proximately $3,00O,000.
st. Paul city officials, it was said,
will offer to share with Minneapolis
the expense of a bridge across the
Mississippi river at the high dam
thus making the Ford plant readily
accessible to both cities.
Establishment of a manufacturing
plant here is in line with the Ford
company's plan for decentraliza-
tion. =.
1t has already announced its inten-
tion to build a plant in Chicago.
Preliminary work will begin in
March.

Nansen: Nobel Prize Crowns His Double
Career
BY NEA Service.

BY NEA Service.
Christiania, Jan. 9.-Fridtjof Nan.
sen, who has just received the Nobel
peace prize, pre- esents on of the most
peculiar careers of modern public
men in that he devoted his whole eff.
fort to science until he was Sc year,
old, then suddenly veered to politics
and humanitarian work and achieved
as great distinction in the latter field
as in his earlier life.
Nansen, famed as an artic ex.
plorer, zoologist, author, relief work.
near here, in 1861.
He attended the University of
Chrstiania, specializing in zoology.
At q. having ben graduated, he un-
dertook his first polar expedition in
east Greenland.
Crosses Greenland.
In 1883 he crossed the ice cap of
Greenland for the first time, unde-
going great peril and suffering. He
described his experiences in two vol
umes.
In 1897 he became professor of
drifting across the north pole on a
moving ice pack. He undertook such
n venture in 1893 and was forced to
spend winter in an ice hut in the
arctic.
Word came back TO civilization
that Nansen had discovered the north
pole. On his return he denied this,
but admitted he had penetrated the
ice packs to within 272 miles of the
pole.
In 1905 crisis arose between Nor
way and Sweden over their politica.
separation. Nansen then went into
politics and campaigned with his
pen for separation. The cause won.
Nansen then became Norwegian
minister to Great Britain.
TIE became an eager supporter of
the League of Nations and has been
active at every meeting. The league
selected him to repatriate prisoners
of war in Russia, a work he carried
out with the greatest success.
Nansens' pleas for famine
stricken Russia more than any 9th er
thing were responsible for large
amounts of foodstuffs and clothing
being sent there by the United States
and other countries.
In the recent Greco-Turkish crisis,
the league asked Nansen to under
take caring for the safety of Chris
tan minorities in Anatolia.
Surely we have received proof
that war brings, no good even to
those who win," Nansen says
What humanity needs today is self
sacrificing active altrusm which is
able not only to give but also to
give up"
