cret from her own household. None

her memoirs. She hesitated to ten
the others, lest they "fancy their

years"
Impressed by the new things in
America and not least by the high
prices and relatively lavish scale OF

write of them for her friends at

of things she had seen earlier in life.
A desire TO do something on her own

new SENATOR
AN EDITOR And
GREAT FIGHTER
Started Newspaper at Twenty.
-Four and Enters the United
States Senate at 33

COOPERSTOWN, N. D., Nov. "a.
Gerald P. Nye, stands appointed
to the United States Senate at the
age of SO because as a country edi-
tor he never temporized his views
of right and wrong.
When he was "a he started a
weekly paper in Billings county on
a shoestring capital.
In the following six years the Non
Partisan movement enveloped the
entire state. The league published
it's own newspaper and excluded ad
vertising from its columns so that
editorial opinion would be influenced
by commercial influences.
Then the Non-Partisan Leagues
popularity lost prestige. Nye took
over the failing paper and though it
faced certain failure he continued to
cxpound the Non-Partisan theory
with undiminished fervor. His sine
Gritty won the respect of his bitterest
political enemies.
Then when Senator Laid died
Governor Sorlie announced that he
would call a special election to fill
the vacancy. He also announced he
would make no appointment.
Nye attacked the governors stand
He was so vigorous about it that he
attracted attention to himself and the
governor was forced by party opin-
ion to appoint him.
Now Nye becomes center of
fight in the United States Senate,
many senators claiming that the
governor has no power to appoint
d senator because the state legisla-
ture has not given such right.
Whatever the outcome, Nye says
he will run in the election next June
and be elected-and the Senate may
do what it pleases about that.
