STATES VOTE
VIRTUALLY IS
NOW COMPLETE
With Few Precincts Missing
in the State Coolidge Has
Lead of 5,638
VOTE Is NOT RECORD
Falls Considerably Below the
States Record Vote
Cast in 1920
VOTE Is NOT RECORD

Fargo, Nov. 8.--Indications TODAY
were that President Coolidge had
secured plurality Of approximate.
ly 5000 votes in North Dakota at
Tuesdays election. With but 50
scattered rural precincts to be
heard from out Of the states 2,l60,
the vote gave: Coolidge 94,ls1; La.
Toilette 88.443; Davis l3,4O9.
As the outstanding districts ara
conceded to LaFollette it is expect.
ed that Coolidge's majority will be
diminished slightly.
Although first reports indicated
that North Dakota had cast rec
ord-breaking vote, unofficial, but
carefully checked returns from these
reported precincts show that the to.
tai vote will hardly reach the 2OO,-
600 mark. In the 1870 general elec-
tion 229,606 votes were cast for
Governor and 97,485 for President.
Although Coolidge secured a major.
ity he fell below that gained by
President Harding-16O,O72 How.
ever, Coolidge's showing in this
state is considered by his support
ers much more remarkable than
Hardings, in view Of the bitter op-
position occasioned by LaFollette's
candidacy, John Davis got lesa
than so percent Of the vote polled
by James Cox, who received q vote
OF 37.412 North Dakota Democrats.
Close Contest
The closest contest in the entire
election in North Dakota was ap-
parently held for Second District
Congressman between Thomas Hall,
Republican, and Gerald Nye, Pro-
gressive, to succeed George Young,
Republican, who resigned to accent
the position rendered him by Pres.
ident Coolidge as customs appraiser,
AS Mr.. ioung's resignation left Oh.
ened an expired term, ending March
4, 1925, the two rivals also fought
for that office. Mr.. Nye gave
statement Wednesday night conced-
ing Mr.. Halls election but Thurs
day night withdrew it when he
heard from his workers who expect-
ed to overtake Halls lead. Today,
however, Hall was elected in both
contests. In the long term contest
the vote stood ZAP precincts out Of
749. Hall 30,s72; Nye 27,674: NJ. C.
Freerks of jamestown was q very
poor third with 3O4 votes.
The vote in the short term con.
test: 72S precincts out of 749, Hall
32,O02; Nye 30,l77. The remaining
precincts do not have enough votes
to erase this majority and therefore
on the basis Of unofficial returns
Mr.. Hall undoubtedly was returned
victor.

ENGLEHARDT.
HUNTED MAN,
lS:CAPTURED
Says That He Was Wounded
BY Brother in Fight Be-
fore He Fled TO Hills

Mandan, Nov. s.--That George Eng
lebardt, Hebron farmer, was badly
wounded when his brother struck
him with pitchfork, inflicting a
large tear in his scalp, prior to the
time when he packed three guns and
sought safety in the hills, was indi-
Gated today when Englehardt was
brought to the Morton county Jail
after his apprehension last night at
Taylor, North Dakota.
Englehardt declared his brother,
Arthur, whom he is accused of at
tempting to kill, struck him with a
pitchfork. He sought refuge in the
hills north of Hebron and eventually
made his way to Miles City, Mon
tana, where he received treatment
for his wound. Purchasing a car at
Miles City he started back toward
Hebron but his machine broke down
at Taylor last evening and Sheriff
Charles Mcdonald, being notified,
went to Taylor and took him into
custody.
Englehardt, in the Morton county
Jail today, apparently is suffering
from complete nervous breakdown.

PROCLAMATION

The Signing of the Armistice
brought joy to Millions of hearts
throughout the world. Everywhere
the expression of devotion to the
principles and ideals for which our
American Soldiers had fought were
mingled with prayers that the terrors
and heartaches of war might never
again be the experience of our peo-
pie.
We need to be constantly reminded
of those principles and ideals in or
der that our loyalty and devotion to
them may remain undated, and
Armistice Day was very properly
made legal holiday on which our
citizenship should meet for consid-
Grafton of the National and Humani-
tartan ideals upon which our repub-
lie has been founded and maintained
and for the preservation of which
our soldiers fought.
Now, Therefore, l, A. p. Lenhart,

missioners of the City Of Bismarck,

FARM PR0BERS
ARE APPOINTED
BY PRESIDENT
Coolidge Names Commission
To Inquire Into Methods
of Permanent Aid
NO SPECIAL SESSION
President Sees no Need of
Summoning Congress to
Meet at this Time

Washington, Nov. S.-President
Coolidge went forward today with
his post-election plans, the first of
which was set in operation yester-
day with the appointment of the
commission to investigate agricult-
ural conditions. b" A conference of
the commission comprising eight
representatives of farming interests
drawn from practically all sections
Of the country is expected to be
called for the middle Of this month.
Robert d. Carey of Careyhurst,
Wyoming, former Governor of
that state, is chairman and the
membership, it was indicated, may
be increased.
Studies Legislation
With the appointment Of this vol
untary body, President Coolidge car
ried out one of the few proposals
he advanced in accepting the nom
ination of the party as standard
bearer. He hopes to have his leg
islative recommendations before him
in time for action at the coming
short session of Congress. jThisi
and appropriation bills, are now the
only measures which will require
the attention of the expiring Con-
gress.
Mr.. Coolidge is Of the opinion
that present needs would not war
rant the calling of u special session
of the new Congress before its reg
ular meeting in December, next
year. Nor does he believe it feas-
ble to bring up again with the
present Congress, which passes out
Of existence March 4, problems OF
tax reduction.
Farm Bureau Head Named
Other members than Mr.. Carey
are O. r. Bradfute, president of the
American Farm Bureau federation
of Chicago; Charles S. Barrett
chairman of the National Board OF
Farm organizations, Of Union City
Ca; Louis j. Taber, master of the
National Grange, of Columbus, O.
Ralph 2. Merritt, of Fresno, Cal.
president Of the Sunmaid Raisin
Growers; r. w. Thatcher, director
of the New York Experiment sta
ton of Geneva, N. Y; w. c. Coffey
dean of the college of agriculture
and director of the experiment sta
ton of the University Of Mime
sofa, and Fred H. Bixby, president
of the American National Livestock
association of Long Beach, Cal.
To Be No Delay
Some consideration to the person
mel Of the commission was given by
the president during the summer but
at the suggestion of farm leaders
appointment was deferred until
after the elections lest it's work be-
come involved in politics. Now that
it has been named, it is intended
that there shall be no delay in its
operation, it being the present plan
for the commission to meet in
Washington for conference about
the middle Of the month.
The men selected are believed at
the White House to be representa-
tiv of farmers generally and we'll
acquainted with agricultural condi-
tions. As a result it is believed a
program may be outlined by them
without undue delay and probably
in time for action upon any propos-
ais requiring legislative action at
the short session of the present
congress- which will convene next
month.

RESULTS IN COUNTIES
Several Interesting Local
Fights Marked Election in
Western North Dakota

Dickinson, N. D., Nov. 8.-One Of
the results Of the election which
proved prognosticators were wrong is
that Robert NJ. LaFollette did not
hold every German vote" in his vest
pocket. Throughout southwestern
North Dakota, where it was reported
a few weeks ago that LaFOllette
would have remarkable vote be.
cause every person Of German de-
scent was for him, the President re-
ceived good vote.
d Stark county was one Of these
counties. President Coolidge, in
Stark, got 2,20l votes to 1874 for
LaFollette, 26O for Davis and IL for
Foster, a plurality of AIT for Cool
idge.: Dickinson gave the President
995 votes compared to $50 for LaFol-
lette, and the President held his own
outside Dickinson.
In Logan county, one Of these
counties, Coolidge got 1877 votes to
994 for LaFollette. He did not do SO
we'll in Emmons, getting 992 to 1922
for LaFollette in 32 /36 precincts,
nor in Mcintosh, getting 527 to l042
for LaFollette. The President car
ried Morton county by $50 votes and
also did we'll in many other south

TUcSON'S AIR MAIL.

Tucson is on the air mail map
to stay. Beginning Tuesday,
the Old Pueblo has been linked
with Uncle Sans great trans.
continental aerial postal service.
by way of San Francisco. Tue
son mail goes to the coast metro
polls by train, and thence by air
to New York or other eastern
points, causing saving of one
business day 10 time.
This connection indicates that
the postoffice department is re
cognizing the Importance of Tue
son as a commercial and indus.
trial center, for just as trade
follows the flag, so does mail
follow the trade.
Tucson's position as one of the
south vests leading tourist cities
alone would justify it's being
linked up with the new air mail
route. There is not an import
ant city in the country whose
former residents cannot be found
in the Old Pueblo. Obviously,
communication with the home
folks should be made as easy
and as speedy as possible.
Uncle Sam has given Tucson
this added advantage. Let US
match him by making Tucson
just little more progressive,
industrious and wideawake than
it was before. Our benign old
uncle deserves this much appre
citation from his favored nephews
and nieceS.

WILL BUY 10000 LICENSE PLATES

Phoenix-Bids will be adver.
tised in the next few days by
James Il. Kerby, secretary of
state, for the contract to furnish
the 1925 automobile license pla-
ties for Arizona. The specitica.
tions for the contract will call for
approximately $4,000 license
plates. The bidders will be ask
ed to submit proposals on two
color com binations one of which
will be selected by Mr.. Kerby
before the advertisement is
made.
Last year total of $1,000 H.
cense plates were ordered for
the year 1924. and at the present
time it is estimated that orders
for additional license plates will
have to be made for the MAORI
ty of the counties in the state
before the end Of the year.
The automobile registration in
the state for the first five months
of 1924 shows that one half of
the counties have exceeded the
total number of cars registered
for the entire year of 1923.
Since June l, Maricopa county
has exceeded its registration for
last year. K .,.. II. .,..,e.
Ia ordering the plates last
year, more plates were ordered
for each county than the total
number of cars that it was es.
tlmated would be registered dur.
ing 1924, and the same method
will be followed this year.
Recently Mr.. Kerby asked the
women of the state to send in
their choice of colors for the
1925 license plates, and to date
more than 1000 letters have
been received containing the
choice of color combinations.
The combinations sent in include
almost every standard color
known, except the combination
of blue and white, which is the
plate for this year. The law re.
quires that the colors be chang
ed each year.
The combinations sent in will
be tabulated within the next
week and the results of the
choice announced.
