Zero Hour" Is Observed by
Bismarck, Mandan Clubs
FRIENDSHIP STRESSED

Members of the kiwanis clubs of
Mandan and Bismarck met last night
to observe all-kiwanis night-a
unique ceremony in the history of
service clubs.
At the same time, 1000 Kiwanis
clubs in the United States and Cam
ada gathered for dinner, and at the
same Zero hour"-7:45 p. MS, 900

hour" messages of greeting from
other clubs were read, and also a
message from Edmund Arras, the
international president, in conven-
tion at Denver.
The meeting was called to order
by E. H. Tostevin, vice-president of
the Mandan club, and the chairman
of the evening was DR.. j. o. Arnson
of Bismarck. He introduced as the
speakers of the evening, Scott
Cameron and R. B. Murphy Of Bis
marck.
Mr.. Cameron, in his talk, stressed
the friendships created through the
medium of the club, and Mr.. MUIR
ply emphasized the international re-
lations of Kiwanis. He declared his
belief that the club would have a
beneficial effect in strengthening

organization is extended throughout
the world it and other organization
would do much to break down the
artificial barriers that exist. Both
speakers stressed the spirit of fell
lowship the organization created be-
tween Bismarck and Mandan ,Kiwan-
ians.
Attendance prize drawing resulted
in w. A. Mcdonald, Bismarck, and

over the telephone. Coventry said
officers went to Corbin's place, near
Livona, yesterday afternoon to get
him.
Corbin will plead self-defence, the
states attorney said. The elderly
farmer was said by the states at
tOrney to have admitted the shoot
ing, but declared that he shot in
selfdefense, that Mills, who was
fishing, was trespassing on his
land, and that Mills and his COM
panions threatened to attack him.
This story is directly opposite to
that told by Mills friendS who
asserted that the attack came while
Mills was in boat and the three
companions were some distance
away.
The charge made against Corbin
was for the purpose Of holding him
in Jail or on bond, pending the out
come of the injuries to Mills, who
is in local hospital. Mills shot
in the head with a shotgun at close
range, was resting fairly we'll, and
it was thought that he would re-
cover unless complications ensue-
He will not be out of danger for
several days, however. Although he
was only partly concious when
brought here late Sunday, he has
recovered full conciousness, and is
seen by friends.

Fight on Farmer Labor
Ticket
OLSON RUNNING AHEAD

st. Paul, June II, (By the A. P.)
With only slight fluctuations in
their plurality, Oscar Hallam and
Theodore Christianson early this
afternoon were holding the lead in
returns from the Republican SEN
atorial and gubernntorial contests
voted on in Mondays primary.
On the Farmer Labor ticket, Floyd
b. Olson continued out in the head
of the field of seven gubernatorial
candidates with lead of 5000 over
Tom Davis, his nearest opponent.
Magnus Johnson continued to pile up
his tremendous plurality for renom-
ination to the Senate.
When 1899 precincts out of $3.50
in the state had reported at noon to-
day, Hallam had total of 45,789
votes, with Congressman Thomas D.
Schall in second place, with 39,572
votes, and Ole Sageng in third posi-
tion with 34,l20.
Christianson's lead in the race for
Governor still stood at 1000 with
Mayor George f. Leach of Minnea-
polls, surprise entry in the six-sided
race, runner up, and o. =. B. Jacob
son, one thousand votes behind I'm,
in third place
The count in 1876 precincts re-
porting on the gubernatorial contest
gave Christianson 1896; Leach 23,-
973; jacobson 22,914; Curtis M.
johnson 2l,SG2; Franklin Ellsworth
1852; and Julius Schmahl 1O,57S.
Olson Leading
Olson's lead in the Farmer Labor
gubernatorial contest was established
early in the race through Hennapin
county's head vote in his favor, and
when l,O42 precinc.s had reported at
noon he had never been out of first
place.
Senator Johnson had run his vote
to 57,3l7 in 1,043 precincts reporting
on the FarmerLabor senatorial con-
test, while the total polled by Mich
ael Ferch of Minneapolis was 6,3G7
and that of Hjalmar Dantes, 1864.
johnson had held 10 to one lead
from the first returns.
The Republican vote Monday ex-
ceeded that Of the Farmer-Labor
party, apparently due to the large
personal following of each Republi-
can senatorial and gubernatorial can
didate.
Vote Light
A check of available returns early
this afternoon, with virtually every
county in the state reported in some
degree, indicated the Republican bal
lots so far tabulated represent ap-
one-half Of the total vote
cast by that party.
This would place the total vote
around 235,000, and the same survey
indicates the Farmer-Labor vote is
nearly one-half complete, thus indi-
eating vote in that party hardly
in excess of 10000. On this basis
the total vote cast Monday did not
reach 100000.

LABOR-COMMUNISTS FIGHT


St. Paul, June 17.-Aside from the
undisputed fact that the National
FarmerLabor Progressive conven-
tion would be called to order, there
was nothing certain about the gath.
ering early today. Rumors were
plentiful, ranging from harmon
ious three or four days Of deliber.
alton to an open split with either
the Union Labor and Farmer groups
or the representatives of the Com.
munist organizations bolting.
Pre-cOnvention facts showed these
two elements in a bitter struggle
for control of the body. They split
rather definitely yesterday on The
question Of definite organization OF
a national party with ticket tc
present to the voters.
The Communists favored this
course, but the more conservative
adherents of the movement prefer
red that this convention only in
dorse Senator LaFollette as pres
idential possibility and attempt q
coalition with the July Cleveland
conference. Minority and majority
reports of the committee on ar
rangements, embodying these diver
gent ideas, will be presented to the
convention and fought out on the
floor.
- The adherents of the Moscow In
ternationale were in the minority OF
the committee on arrangements but
we're sufficiently strong to block an
attempt to have only the majority
report given the convention.
William Mahoney, st. Paul labor
leader and acknowledged czar OF
the Minnesota Farmer-Labor party
and temporary chairman of the con-
vention, openly feared that the ul-
tra-reds had edged into the delega-
tions from various industrial groups
in sufficient numbers to control a
majority of the organization. Their
formal organization, The Workers
Party and the Federated Farmer
Labor Party, are entitled to only
five votes each out of total con-
yention voting strength of 977.
The convention call gave definite
strength to each delegation but did
not limit the size Of these groups.
Members of some, therefore, will
cast only fractional votes, but on
the smaller delegations each indivl-
dual will have privilege of plural
voting. 1t was this condition which
caused the more conservative to ap-
pear doubtful over the outcome OF
the fight for control.
