GOne. ana the adoption OF the plan
was the result.
Party Names
"Democrat and Republican are
mere names when applied to state
politics. said Mr. Kelly in advocat-
ing. the fusion plan this afternoon
What earthly difference does i.
make whether the governor of North
Dakota is for, or against the League
Of Nations?'
Thorough Organization
Provision is made for the thor
ough organization Of the state for
campaign purposes. The state man
ager is to personally visit each cOun-
- in the state and form there Il
county executive committee Of 10
members, which will in turn elect 4
county chairman, manager, finance
committee etc.
Each Such county executive com
mittee - also to form a representa-
tive county committee consisting Of
one member from each voting pre-
c!nct. The county will also be di-
yided into campaign units and u
manager for each unit named by the
county committee.
Delegates to the state convention
are to be apportioned by the state
executive committee, and the dele
gates from, each county are to be
named by county convention to be
held 80 days prior to the state con-
vention. Delegates 10 the county
conventions are to be named by pre-
cinct caucusses of Independents.
Such in brief is the plan o: or
ganization and action which was
adopted Sunday afternoon. The ses-
sion was attended by practically all
CT the Independent members of the
legislature, and the other represen-
tative Independents who came to Bis
marck especially for the conference.
The general principles on which
the plan is based having been agreed
to at the first session of the conven-
ton which was held Saturday night
there was little debate over the de-
tails recommended by the commit
tee, the only question discussed at
any length being that of the best
method of selecting the executive
committee.
The decision to leave this matter
to Il temporary committee was due
TO the feeling that such a committee
, could look carefully over the field
and select the best men for the
, work.
Members of Committee
| Members selected for the temper
airy committee are, H. p. Goddard
Bismarck; l.. L.. Twichell, Fargo;
and p j. Murphy.
The same idea was brought out in
| the talks made at the session Sat
urday evening.
Several of the speakers moreover
: of the present Legislative session
/ had made it plain that the leaders
! of the Nonpartisan League had no,
| lost their radical views, and that i.
the forces of radicaism were not to be
allowed to gain control of the state
a fusion of the conservative ele
ments must be brought about.
l.. l.. Twichell Of Fargo in short
address laid especial emphasis OF
the importance of giving more atten
tion to the election Of Independent
members Of the legislature than ha:
been given in some counties in time:
past. Control of the legislature i!
even more important than the elec
ltion OF the governor he pointed out
