rectOrs for Proposition to

TAKE OTHER ACTION

A national policy for the develop
mcnt of rivers for transportation.
particularly the Missouri, Mississippi
and Ohio, is favored by directors of
the Association of Commerce, who
last night discussed the proposition
of the Mississippi Valley Associa-
ton, which is working to secure de-
velopment Of the Missouri river from
the headwaters to the mouth of the
river.
The organization urges government
recognition Of the need for develop
ment Of the entire stream, as its first
step in the program for actual Gre
alton of a better inland waterway.
The A. Of c. directors indorscd house
bill No. 1921, introduced by Repre-
sentative Newton and now pending in
the national body, for the improve
ment and completion of prescribed
Missouri rivers. The Mississippi
Valley Association will hold meet
ing in Kansas City April IL and 12.
The A. of c. directors also indorsed
a house resolution at the request of
the flood commission of Pittsburgh,
which proposes a national survey
which may eventually lead to ma
tional policy which it is felt would
benefit this section of the state
eventually through control Of, or i'm
pounding, waters of the Missouri
near the source as flood prevention
measure.
Ask Playground
The A. of c. directors instructed
the Secretary to take up the propo-
sition of securing aid from the Har-
mon Foundation of New York for u
playground. The Foundation offers
sums up to $4,000 to assist cities in
securing Fairgrounds. and has named
Bismarck as an eligible city. In his
letter the Secretary will call atten
tion of the Foundation to the fact
that Bismarck has spent $500 to
$4,000 in playground work.
The directors indorsed the proposal
to change the number of the Ma
tional Parks Highway Cred TraiD
from No. to No. l, and named Judge
A. NJ. Christianson, Judge W. L..
Nuessle and Burt Finney as COM
mttee of three to make representa-
tions to State Engineer w. G. Black
along this line. Similar action has
been taken in Fargo and other cities
along the highway.
Referendum
The Bismarck Association has been
asked, along with 1900 other organi-
cations in the Chamber Of Commerce
of the United States, to take ref
erendum vote on proposed national
policy of transportation development.
The policy is recommended by the
national commerce. 1t provides for
coordination of rail, water and high
way transportation, continuation of
the important principles of the
transportation Act of 1920, indOrse-
ment of the principle of recapturc
of a fair proportion Of excess rail-
road earnings as in the public inter
est, supplementary legislation to en-
courage voluntary rail consultations,
suDJection of rates and services of
motor common carriers to regulation
by state and federal commissions, and
requiring road users to pay the en-
tire cost of maintenance of highway
through special taxes levied against
them.

Renominated Handily-
McAdOO Men Defeated

Chicago, April 9.--(By the A. P)-
Illinois Republicans. added their in
dorsement Of President Coolidge by
giving him a majority over Hiram
johnson in yesterdays primary cleo
tion, although the Californian after
a vigorous campaign ran the Presi-
dent close race in Chicago, where
he helped found the Progressive par
ty which nominated him for Vice
President several years ago.
Senator Johnson took an early lead
\ in the returns from Chicago voters
but later tabulations gradually cut
down the johnson advantage until
with 800 precincts still missing the
Californian had a lead of fewer than
5000 votes.
Outside the metropolis President
Coolidge kept an average majority of
nearly 30 votes to the precinct which
advantage if kept up would give the
chief executive nearly 100000 votes
more than Johnson.
w. G. McAdoo, unopposed for pre-
sidential preference on the Demo
cratic ticket, pOlled only about half
the number of votes cast by Demo-
Gratis in Chiflgo and his delegates to
the Democratic national convention
were defeated overwhelmingly by the
state organization delegate ticket.
Mccormick Behind
Democrats nominated A. A. Spra-
'!,ue of Chicago for United States
Senator while Medill Mccormick, Re-
'publican incumbent, with two-fifths
Of the vote in, was trailing former
Governor Charles S. Deenen by 10000
votes.
The hottest contest in the primary
vas for the Republican gubernator-
ial nomination and Governor Len
Small, who had been bitterly oppos-
ID by Attorney General E. j. Brun-
dage, handily won the nomination for
mother term by defeating State Sen
tor T. G. Essington and carrying
most of his supporters for other
tate offices through to victory.
In the Democratic gubernatcrial
race Norman Jones had a conf rt-
BILE lead over Lee O'Neill Browne,
who advocated modification of the
Nolstead act.
