"PIE-HUNTERS"
SHOWED HANDS

league in North Dakota was forecast
today by William Lemke, Fargo, one
of the original league organizers.
The "pie-hunters" who were in evil
dence at the convention which yes
terday expressed confidence in Gov.
A. &. Sorlie and placed in his hands
the task Of selecting successor to
the late E. F. Ladd as United States
senator, will be "kicked out" of the
party, Lemke said. and the league
restored to working basis.
Lemke said he was pleased at the
outcome of the convention and that
its effect would be beneficial in that
it would remove the job hunters from
leadershop of the leagues affairs.
"The convention should never
have been called in the first place"
Lemke said. "but since it was I am
glad it turned out as it did. It has
done a lot to clear the atmosphere
and the result will be more activi-
ty on the part of the league"

"No. am not an. agnostic, l am

in discussing the motive of his suit.
"Congress is trying to stifle educa-

"The difference between the

issue was whether the state legisla-
ture should prescribe the curriculum

that all curricula must be narrowed
to a point where it will agree with
the people 1000 years ago. Congress
is simply glorifying ignorance"
