THIRD PARTY
PLANS TO GET
BALLOT PLACE
Will Run P0indexter as q
Representative of the
Farmer-LabOr Party

The Farmer-Labor Party Of North
Dakota will seek to gain a place on
the state ballot two years hence,
through support of one candidate for
some state office who may poll five
percent Of the vote but will not at
tempt to put any other candidate in
the running in the fall election, un-
der present conditions, according to
Herman Hardt Of Napoleon.
The conference held last night,
which embraced small number of
Farmer-Labor Party men, discussed
the platform, and agreed to principles
similar to those of the Nonpartisan
League. The conference favored sup
port for Senator LaFollette.
The executive committee was, how
ever, given power to place other cam
didates in the field for various Of
fices in the fall election should
change in conditions make this desir-
able.
The executive committee of the
party recently decided to run A. G.
Sorlie, Republican n-Nonpartisan nom-
inee, on "stickers" in order to es-
tablish the party in the state but this
plan was found not feasible. 1t was
decided that d. c. Poindexter, inde-
pendent candidate for auditor, would
file as a Farmer-Labor candidate, in
order to aid in gaining column on
the ballot for the party two wears
hence.

MACDONALD IN
NEW PLEA FOR
DISARMAMENT
Prime Minister Also Asks
For Development of
League of Nations

Geneva, Sept. 4.-(By the A. P)-
Prime Minister Macdonald of Eng
land, speaking with notable feeling
and forcefulness, declared to the
Assembly of the League of Nations
that Great Britain saw the only hope
for future peace in the extension OF
the policy of arbitration and the de-
velopment Of the League of Nations.
The British statesman warned the
world against regarding national Sc
curity as merely military problem
based on the predominance Of force,
and he urged the convocation of a
disarmament conference in Europe
attended by representatives of all
countries, including the United States
and Germany.
Through the League, he said, it
was hoped to lay surely and final;
the foundation Of peace. The future
happiness of the world must be
based on agreement reached through
the League. Warning against at
tempts to base peace on force he
said:
"If we cannot devise system Of
arbitration then do not let US fool
ourselves that We are going to have
peace"
In his reference to Germany's
place in the League, the British
premier said:
1--WE cannot sit endlessly with a
vacant chair in our midst. The Lon
don conference created a new rela
tionship between Germany and the
rest Of Europe. She should have
her seat here"

LAST APPEAL
OF GUNNER IN
COURT FAILS
Convicted of Murder of Marie
: Wick, He Is Serving a
Life Sentence

William GUNNER, hotel clerk, con-
victed of the murder of Marie Wick
of Grygla, Minnesota, in a Fargo
hotel in June, 1921, has lost his final
legal battle. The state supreme
court denied rehearing in the case
in which it affirmed Gummer's con-
viction and sentence to life impris-
onment for the crime.
GUNNER now is serving his SEN
tence in the state penitentiary, hav-
ing been an inmate since shortly
after his conviction by jury in
Valley City February IS, 1922.
The high court, in an opinion on
the rehearing, denies the conten-
in chain of circumstantial evidence
on which GUNNER was convicted,
was not answered by the court in
its original opinion.
"We are satisfied on this record
that the verdict finds ample support
in the evidence in that the circum-
stances disclosed are such that, in
our opinion, reasonable men may be
satified therefrom to a moral GER
tainty Of the defendants guilt"
says the high court opinion.
The fact that the evidence on
which GUNNER was convicted was
circumstantial "in no way alters the
respective functions of the court and
the jury" the court held.

FLIERS BALKED
IN ATTEMPT TO

American Army World Cir
cling Aviators Held Up
by Plane Damage
MAY FLY TOMORROW
42O Mile Trip From Hawkes.
Bay to Nova Scotia Is Made
Without Trouble
MAY FLY TOMORROW

Pictou, Nova Scotia, Sept. 4.-(By
the A. P.)-Balked in their plan to
get away for Boston today, the Amer
lean army world circling aviators are
getting ready for the take off tomor-
row morning, weather permitting.
With more than $4,000 miles Of their
flight completed they are eager to
get back on the soil of the United
States and begin the trans-continen-
tai tour which will mark their trium-
phal homecoming.
Lieut.. Wade and H. H. Ogden, with
new plane to replace the one they
lost on the hop to Iceland, have re-
joined their comrades and will leave
with them to complete the flight to
the Pacific Coast. Lieut.. Lowell H.
Smith and Eric Nelson and their as
sistants Lieut.. Leslie Arnold and John
Hardy Jr., decided before beginning
their hop here from Hawkes. Bay,
Newfoundland, yesterday, that they
would continue on to Boston after a
nights rest but this program was
overturned by combination oS cir
cumstances, including the breaking
of spreader bar on Lieut.. Smiths
plane and the lateness of their arri-
val which precluded the possibilities
of refueling, oiling and repairing OF
planes before dark.
The 420-mile trip from Hawkes. Bay
which required six hours and "a
minutes, was made under generally
favorable conditions for this region
although the airmen were somewhat
delayed by rain squalls and head
wins. The visibility was good, there
being no fog. The men received q
great popular and official welcome
from Nova Scotians and were taken
in procession through the streets.

stood, would involve two steps, one
before and one after the sentence is
pronounced. The first step would
be presentation of a motion asking

of the guilty plea and enter a plea
of not guilty. The second step would

FUSION CANDIDATES WILL STAND
Referendum on Grand Forks

Planks on Which Candi-
dates Will Go Before the
People For Votes in No.
Vember.

The platform adopted by the fu-
ion committee in which anti-Non-
PARTISAN League candidates will go
'efore the people in the November
election, is as follows:
Resolutions
We heartily commend the ad-
ministration of Governor K. A.
Nestos and his associates, as being
as honest, efficient and econom-
ical management Of the States af-
fairs; for it's success in restor-
ing the credit of the State and
sanity in government, and keep
ing its pledges made to the peo-
pie.
The paramount State issues in
this campaign are: State indus
trialism and tax reductions; and
the line of cleavage is between
the League and Independent for
ces of this State.
We are opposed to the extension
of the State ownership program
advocated by the Nonpartisan
League, which program has lead
the State to the verge Of finan-
cial ruin, destroyed it's credit, and
has resulted in the creation of a
huge bonded Indebtedness against
the State, with its consequent ex-
cessive tax burden for years to
come. We oppose the further
bonding Of the State for the pur-
pose of engaging in the Statei
operation of elevators, warehouses.
coal mines, etc. as declared for in
the Nonpartisan League platform.
We commend the present ad-
ministration for keeping faith with
the people in completing the un-
finished Mill and Elevator pro-
ject at Grand Forks, and for it's
efforts in giving that experiment
fair business trial. We recon-
mend that should such enterprise
continue to lose financially that
the question Of its future con-
tinuance be submitted to the
people for their determination
by referendum vote as soon as
practicable.
We strongly oppose the proposal
of the Nonpartisan League to re-
peal the Board of Managers law,
which repeal would place the Mill
and Elevator management back in
the hands of the Industrial Com
mission.
We approve the present policy
of this Administrator in confin-
ing the functions of the Bank of
North Dakota to a rural credits
business mainly, and we oppose
as being highly dangerous and
detrimental to the best interests
of the State, the proposal of the
Nonpartisan League to revive the
the functions of that Bank as con.
Quoted under the Frazier admins.
tration. We believe that the de.
positary functions of that Bank
should be discontinued as soon as
practicable and that it's loans open
and closed banks be liquidated as
soon as may be possible.
We deem the matter of tax re.
duction to be the most vital gov.
ernmental issue confronting the
people at this time. We, therefore
pledge all candidates for State anC
Legislative office, running upor
this platform, to as strict a pro-
gram of tax reduction in State
affairs as is possible, consisten
with efficient management, and tt
the adoption of laws which viii
encourage the reduction of taxes
in all local political sub-divi
sions."

Shanghai, China, Sept. 4.-(By the
A. P.0-Though troops estimated to
number 10000 battled throughout
this sunshiny day, competent eye
witnesses declared tonight that neith-
er side had made material gains in
the fighting.
The battle front extended from the
line of the Shanghai-Nankin Railway
I to the Yangste River, about l8 miles
from Shanghai, at it's nearest point,
+ and about 25 miles at the most dis
tant.
Lungwa headquarters of the Che
kiang troops defending Shanghai
claim gains in the Hwangtu sector
on the railway and in the Liuho sec
tor on the coast. Both sides reported
that they had added reinforcements
to their fighting forces during the
day.
Firing Continuous
Firing was continuous today, the
second day of the fighting, from 6
a. m. on. When the Kiangsu troops
opened their attack only about a
thousand defenders were holding the
Chekiang lines. Trucks were pressed
into service to rush troops and am
munition to the front and the moving
of reinforcements continued all day
At several points the opposing
fighters were hidden from each 9TH
er by fields of growing grain, through
which the rifle and machine gun fire
cut its way. Eye-witnesses said that
undoubtedly the fighters were vast
ing large amounts Of ammunition in
the characteristic of Chinese troops,
firing wildly.
u. s. WOmeA Remain
The Kiangsu troops used artillery
in their attack on Liuho which or
dinarily is town of 5000 popula-
ton. There was no evidence that
they had cooperation from any naval
force on the Yangste river. lndica-
tions were that the Chekiang troops
would be able to hold that sector un-
less the attacking forces were heav-
lily reinforced. Two American women
remained in Liaho during the bonn
.bardment. They were Miss Grace
= Crandall, woman physician, and
Miss Susie NJ. Burdick, who were in
charge of the Seventh Day Baptist
Mission hospital there. When the
firing began the Red Cross unit from
Shanghai retreated IL miles to the
village of Liaho, but Miss Crandall
and Miss Burdick refused to aban-
don the patients in the hospital who
were not war casualties.
All day long the shells whistled
overhead. Several of them passed
through the hospital building. Late
in the day the Associated Press cor
. respondent obtained the use of an
automobile truck and by using this
truck and his own automobile man.
aged to remove the patients, together
with the American women, to safety

continued, however, while the escape
from the hospital was being effected.
Conscription Of both men and wo-
men for war work was reported con-
tinuing today in many sections of
the Chinese territory adjacent to
Shanghai. This drafting was started
week ago when hostilities became
probable. 1t is said the effect is to
bring thousands of Chinese into the
French and international settlements
seeking protection against the con-
scripting officials.
