BRYAN ALSO
WITHDREW IN
RACEIN 1920
Analogy Between His Action
and That of LaFOllette
Is Drawn Here

An analogy between the withdrawal
of William Jennings Bryan from the
presidential primary Of 1920 in North
Dakota and that of Robert M. LaFol.
lette is seen here by an investigation
of Bryan's attitude at the time. The
LaFollette case before the district
and supreme courts was without pre-
cedent.in fact as we'll as in law, in
the opinion of many, until Justice l.
f. Bimzell called attention in court
to the Bryan episode.
Bryan, in 1920, declined to be a
candidate. A story in the Bismarck
Tribune of Feb. 27, 1920, follows:
Devils Lake, Feb. 27.-While will
ing that delegates to the national
Democratic convention should be
pledged to his kind of democracy
William Jennings Bryan refuses to be
placed in the position of seeking the
nomination for president, and he has
requested that his name be with
drawn from the presidential primary
in North Dakota
"A telegram was> received from Mr.
Bryan this morning by Col. j. H
Bloom of this city, in which the Ne
braskan Says:
"'Sorry to disappoint such loyal
friends, but have refused to be a
candidate in Nebraska. | hope the
petition in your state can be with
drawn. If not please file copy of this
telegram with proper state officials
and give to the press. If you desire
to pledge delegates to Bryan demo-
cracy | have no objection, but must
not be entered as a candidate.'
(Signed w. j. Bryan.
"Secretary of State Hall at the
request of Col. Bloom, who filed the
Bryan petition, has consented to it's
withdrawal, as a result of which the
name of Mr.. Bryan will not appear
on the esidential primary ballot in
this state.
Judge c. j. Fisk of Minot, former
chief justice of the supreme court,
refuses to be a candidate for dele
gate on the insurgent Democratic
ticket. Col. John H. Bloom today ad-
vised the secretary of state request
ing that the judges name be With
drawn" ''

JAMESTOWN
UTILITY SOLD
TO BIG FIRM
Western Electric Company
to be Taken Over by
Ottertail Power Co.

Sale of the Western Electric Com
pany of jamestown, operating aal
electric and steam heating utility, 10
the Ottertail Power Company, a large
Minnesota public utility concern, has
been approved by the state railroad
commission. it was announced today
The sale price is not announced
The new owners, it is understood,
plan to extend transmission lines
south from jamestown to serve many
towns. The Ottertail Power Company
now operates several transmission
lines in the eastern part of the state.
John Canham was the principal owner
of the Western Electric Company.
Ormsby McHarg also was interested.
Application has been made to the
railroad commission by the Brecken-
ridge Wahpeton street car company
for an emergency increase in fare
from five to seven cents. The rail-
road commission will hear the mat
ter at Wahpeton March 27.
The sale is regarded by officials
here as natural development of con-
troll of public utilities by large oper-
ating companies, which effect econo-
mics in operation through consoIida-
tions. al .. p.
The Ottertail Company,S it is un-
derstood, plans eventually to extend
the transmission lines now operating
in Richland county on west and build
lines from jamestown south so as to
connect. The company has water
power plant in Minnesota and
steam power plant in Wahpeton.
Many farmers in Richland county are
served by the company.

FAITH IN LAND
BASIS OF NEW
FINANCE BODY
Local Officials See Great Boon
to State Through New
Instrumentality
MAP OUT BIG JOB
1O-Year Campaign Ahead of
New Agricultural Aid
Corporation

Material benefits will come tc
North Dakota through the new $1O,-
| 100000 Agricultural Credit Corpora
! ton because it will be able to meet
| credit needs that cannot be met
through ordinary channels, according
to many officials here following a
conference at which the plans of the
new corporation were thoroughly ex-
planned
One of the most striking features
of the company's hackers, which in
clude some of the largest business
and firms in the country, in the opin-
ion of many local officials, is its CON
fidence in the value of North Dakota
land and its willingness to 20 the
limit in providing credit where land
is the basis for borrowing:
The company, by its very nature,
does not have to liquidate, and it
has mapped out 10-year job, they
feel. Officials of the corporation
have indicated their willingness to
loan money where the security is
real estate or equity in real estate,
believing the value is intrinsic and
will increase instead of diminish in
future years. Another feature which
appeals to some officials here is the
proposal of the company to finance
farmers for the spring crop by ac-
cepting security through banks but
without requiring the banks to be re-
sponsible.
Governor Nestos, State, Examiner
Semingson,l c. B. Mcmillan and 6. G..
Severtson, members of the state
guaranty fund commission, are among
those who believe that great good
will come through the corporation.
Governor Nestos declared after re-
viewing the conference held here
that he felt that every bank which
had been prudently managed would
continue to do business and that
many of the banks now closed sim
ply through lack of confidence or
slow-liquidating paper would be- able
to reopen soon. He also expressed
belief that the corporation, by pro-
viding aid to banks to which farmers
must look for aid in financing their
crops, that great good would be rem
dered to the farmers throughout the
state. The placing of millions of
dollars Of credit in the state is of
greatest Importance, he believes. ~
State Examiner Semingson feels
that the corporation will perform an
able service in the state. Virtually
all of the banks closed since the first
OF the year, are expected to reopen,
and there has been marked decrease
in bank closing in the state.
Mr.. Severtson and Mr.. Mcmillan,
who had declined to, express an opin-
ion on the corporation until they had
heard its purposes explained, be-
lieve that it will perform great SER
vice in the state.

ORDERS COFFINS
BY CARLOAD

Fort Yates, N. D., Mar. 1O.-Cof-
fins, whole carload of them, more
than hundred, were delivered last
week to the Standing Rock Indian
agency hereto save money for the
Sioux. The cOffins, says Supt. C. D..
Mossman of the reservation agency,
will be sold to, the Indians on the
"reimbursable" plan. While many of
the Indians, especially the young
men, are comfortably fixed financial
ly scores Of the older tribesmen and
women have practically no money.
Coffins will be furnished them at
death and a charge made against the
Indians estate in trust with the
government, it was explained. Buy
ing coffins by the carload saves both
the Indian and the government mon

mine and is proving "a handicap
| in rescue work.
Castle Gate, Utah, Mar lO.-Nine.
teen bodies had been recovered from
the Utah Fuel Company mine No. 2
at II clock today. Many more have
been definitely located, according to
reports coming to the surface. Res
cue work is being rushed and it is
expected that nightfall will see Il
major portion of the mine investi-
gated.
Indications are that none of the
l15 who were entombed by the triple
explosion Saturday morning will be
found alive.
All available trucks have been call
ed into service to haul bodies.
The latest bodies to be recovered
are blackened and burned about the
face and hands but identification is
easier than for those first brought
to the surface.
Ten undertakers are working at
the temporary morgue in the knights
of Pythi as hall. They say bodies can
be hand7ed as fast as they are taken
from the mine.
Real headway in the rescue work
started about midnight and continu
ed through until morning. The
crews held back all day Sunday by
fire and caveins began rescue work
with renewed vigor about 8 o'clock
last night after they had succe ssfully
combatted the fire. Before 8 o'clock
a force of rs men was engaged in the
relief work at one time. By mid
night the work was progressing with
a vigor which predicted an early end
to the labors
Gas Disappearing
The poisonous gas, arch enemy of
the rescue crews, was disappearing
IN many portions OF the mine, ac-
cordlng to reports. and in MANY parts
of the mine crews were carving in
their investigations.
Relief stations and first-aid depots
have been established as the workers
made headway. Airlines and water
lines have been laid as the men ad-
vance, and no chances are taken of
other members of the relief force
being killed.
Last night was one of gloom and
sorrow. The single street of the
town was crowded with relatives of
those entombed and with those who
had volunteered to aid in the relief
w2rk. Sleep came only to those who
mad grown weary by watching.
Reports from the mine were cur
rent throughout the night. A rumor
of a fresh fire startled the town but
TINS proved false. Different stories
were told of the progress made by
the relief crews but through it ally
there remained constant the failing
hope Of those praying that the min
ers had been benefited by the "one
chance in thousand"
Governor There
Governor Maybe is on the scene,

lfornla. Other officials of the com
pany and the state are at the mine.
The destructive explosion occurred
from some yet unknown cause Satur-
day morning about S:15. First came
terrific blast which hurled tim
bers, piping and rails across the
gulch, distance of several thousand
feet. The 800-pound steel door of
the escape way was hurled a half
mile. The second blast came a min
ute later and in 20 minutes came the

The electric chair was not. strictly
speaking, invented. 1t was known that
electric current would kill, and expert
ments in killing animals by this means
had been made. A New York COM
mission was appointed to investigate
humane ways of inilicting the death
penalty. The commission reported in
1888. and In that report suggested the
construction of a chair in which the
criminal could be placed for electro
cutlon. Such a chair was devised by
the state electrician of New York, f.
f. Davis. and appears to have been
first used in 1890.
