LEAGUE NAMES
CHURCH.;
TO OPEN FIGHT
Former State Chairman to be
Candidate for Commission
er of Agriculture
SORLIE is INTERESTED
Candidate for Governor, Re-
covering, Takes Much In
tereSt in Discussion

The Nonpartisan League state
campaign will get under way without
delay, through various agencies. The
League state executive committee at
a conference which continued until
o'clock this morning, selected W..
j. Church of York, former League
state chairman, to fill the vacancy
on the League ticket as candidate
for Commissioner of Agriculture
and Labor, caused by the death Of
Senator B. F. Baker.
With this vacancy filled, and re-
ports that A. G. Sorlie, League cam
didate for Governor was taking
much interest in politics though
confined to his bed in local hos
pital, Leaguers here continued today
to discuss methods Of the campaign.
There were about 40 in the confer
ence last night to advise Ole Knut-
son and S. S. Mcdonald, members Of
the League executive committee, who
chose Mr.. Church.
Mr.. Church, who was present, did
not desire to become a candidate.
Louis Noltemier of Barnes county,
mentioned for the place, said he did
not want to be considered. Several
others were discussed, including
Gerald Nye of Cooperstown, J. A.
Gray of Lisbon and Senator Ralph
lngerson.
Among the Leaguers from out Of
the city here for the discussion were
Steven Terhorst Of Donnybrook; T.
E. Bealls of Dickinson; Gerald Nye
of Cooperstown; Mrs. E. o. Bailey
of Manning and Louis Noltemier of
Barnes county.
It is considered probable that +.
H. H. Thoresen, League candidate
for Attorney General, will deliver
the keynote address, in view of the
death of Mr.. Baker and the injury to
Mr. SOrlie.
Arnold Berg of Grand Forks, bust
ness associate of Mr.. Sorlie, planned
to leave for his home today. Mr.. Sor-
lie last night was feeling fine, he
was informed, and was taking much
interest in the League political con-
ference, asking his wife many ques-
tions about it. Three brothers of
Mr.. Sorlie, who came here to see
him, left yesterday.
w. II. Stutsman, campaign man
ager of the Real Republican organi-
zatiOn, was to be at jamestown to-
day for district meeting, and other
organization work will get under
way Immediately. While Governor
Nestos has delayed the opening of
his speaking campaign, this action
is regarded as personal courtesy
to his injured opponent, Mr.. Sorlie,
and will not affect organization
work.

...- ''tE-s.s. e :, $ ..-- - - d.
Sixty automobile dealers Of North

cars through the Lahr Motor Sales
Company, distributors of WHY'S

came from Bowman and Scranton
in the extreme southwestern part of
the state, from Garrison north of
here, from Tappen east and Kuhn.
southeast.
About 20 dealers will drive back
home new Overland or Willys-Knight
cars, and others would have done 50
except for fears of bad roads. One
disappointment was registered, in
that a carload of automobiles, includ-
ing new. Overland Bluebird and
business coupe, failed to arrive in
time for the meeting.
This afternoon the dealers are
having informal meetings, and to-
night at 6 o'clock will banquet at

would not discuss the possibility of
raising the $75,000,0O0 share of the

England and the $25,0O0,00O it was
proposed to raise among continental
European nations.
He was asked to corroborate a

MINIMUM WAGE
LAW IS HELD
1NEQUITABLE
Head of Laundrymen's Or
ganizatiOn Recommends Re-
peal of it be Sought

Assertion that the present mini
mum wage law and women's hours
of labor law in North Dakota works
a hardship on the laundry industry
and makes for unnecessarily higher
costs to the laundries and customers
was made by President A. L. John
son of Devils Lake, in his review of
the past year, to the North Dakota
Laundrymen's Association, which op-
ened two day session here today.
The law, according to Mr.. Johnson,
is virtually 36-hour week law as
so arranged by the minimum wage
commission, since workers who put
in SO hours may demand the full
weeks minimum wage. The volume
of business to laundries is such tnat
there is a small volume of work at
the beginning of the week and the
end of the week, and d heavy volume
in the middle, he said. The eight
and half hour day prevents full
utilization of the time which would
be allowed with this work day each
day, he said.
He recommended to the laundry
men that repeal of the minimum
wage as now arranged be sought. He
asserted the laundrymen were not
opposed to labor receiving just re-
ward, but that the present method
of enforcing the law was inequitable.
Increase of cost of doing business
and bad business conditions had
caused q decrease in laundries in the
state, he said Mr.. Johnson asserted
that the laundry business could not
be a monopoly, since it was in di-
rect competition with the home.
Aside from registration of delega-
tions and other preliminaries, the
program this afternoon included a
symposium by house wives on "What
the Modern Housewife Expects of the
Modern Laundry"

Casey of Dickinson for J. p. Cain of
the same city for Attorney General,
on the primary ticket indorsed by
the Democratic state convention here
recently, was announced here today.
The action was taken by the state
campaign committee. Benton Baker,
member of the committee, said no ac-.
tion had been taken toward substitu-
tion Of a candidate for Governor to
succeed Wesley c. Mcdowell, who de-
cfined to make the race. There are
some Democrats who do not believe
the committee has power to fill this
vacancy, while others want Halvor
Halvorson of Minot or, some other
Democrat named as candidate for
Governor, he said.

Wheeler Takes Stand Later to
Deny He Used Improper
Influence

Washington, May 9.--John S. Pratt,
the special assistant attorney-gen-
eral, who assisted in securing the
Indictment against Senator Wheeler
of Montana today laid before the
Senate committee investigating the
subj ject the documentary evidence on
which the indictment partially was
based.
The material consisted of photo
ence said to have passed between
Senator Wheeler and Gordon Camp
bell, the Montana oil promoter, for
who the Senator is alleged to have
appeared unlawfully before the In
terror Department.
One letter ostensibly from
Wheeler to Campbell, dated
March 8, 1923, asked Camp
bell 'to have your office send me de-
tails of permits in order that when
l take it up ! may be able to dis
cuss it intelligently with the Do.
partment of the Interior
Pratt introduced also what pur-
ported to be u letter dated May T..
1923, in which Gordon Campbell OF
fered f. S. Booth, the solicitor OF the
interior department, 40 acres Of land
out of one oil permit and suggested
that 40 acres additional be assigned
to f. NJ. Goodwin, assistant Secretary
of the Interior, if the permit could
be granted.
The letter said /Aat if Campbell
could get his hooks on the land"
the two officials assisting they
"could make more money than they
would otherwise make in a long
time."
Booth, responding on May 10, ac-
cording to the records, said he would
take the matter up with Goodwin,
though he himself had left the inter
Tor department May l.
Senator Wheeler, asked the right
to take the stand as Pratt finished
and Borah granted it.
Senator Wheeler denied that he
had given any assurances that when
he got to Washington he would
straighten out the Campbell permit.
