Virginia and number of representa-
tives.
Price Mckinney of Cleveland then
testified the committee was inquiring
into Falls finances to have McKin-
ney say that he had loaned $1,000
to- the former Secretary. That was
before Fall made the same proposal
to Z. B. Mclean.

With the thermometer we'll above
freezing, with all roads open and
with bright sunshine beaminc
down on nearly every section Of North
Dakota today. it was expected that a
big vote would be rolled up in the
presidential preference primary to-
day.
City elections in several cities of
the state also served to increase the
interest in the election and to bring
out the vote. With heavy city vote
expected, there was conjecture as to
what would happen in the country.
But with the Nonpartisan League
making drive against the election
laws and for the Fedge bill it was
considered more than likely that "a
large rural vote also would be regis
tered.
The polls will close at m. for
the first time in some years, the leg
islature having reduced the tine the
polls close from 9 p. m.
The Coolidge and Johnson oreani-
cations in some places were work
ing to get out the vote, but not to
any great extent. There was more
work along this line by the league
1and independent organizations, with
the measures as the chief reasons
for the activity.
The close of the campaign found
l.. B. Hanna, Coolidge manager, de-
claring that the state would roll up
a real vote of confidence for the
President as against Hiram Johns on
and Robert NJ. LaFollette.
The Tribune will post bulletins
after 8 p. m. tonight.
Because of the blizzard four years
ago, on March l6, very light vote
was cast. Hiram johnson received
3O.573 votes for the Republican pres
ldential Endorsement, Leonard Wood
987 and Frank o. Lowden 265, total
of 3l,825 votes being cast.
William J. Bryan received 34O
Democratic votes and VIM. McAdoo
40.
STICKER CAMPAIGN
The force of the LaFollette stick
er campaign was expected to be felt
more in the rural districts than in
the cities. There was practically no
evidence of LaFollette stickers
around polls here during the mo1n.
ing. The vote at noon was not more
than Is percent of the total.
Mandan reported many LaFollette
stickers were in evidence, but at
jamestown they were not being dis
tributed at the polls.
