asked what assurance farmers had
that they could retain control Of q

COMMITTEES NAMED TO
ADJUST DIFFERENCES
(By Associated Press

NOy ASSVCtutCu 1TCSSJ
After wrargling for nearly eight
hours the Nonpartisan- Republican
state convention last night selected
n committee Of five Nonpartisans and
five Farmer Laborites to adjust diff
ferences between the groups and pre-
vent split in the Nonpartisan
League.
Admitting openly that forces Of
Governor A. G. Sorlic have them
beaten in numbers, Farmer Laborites
were insisting that unless they were
permitted voice in naming candi-
dates they would bolt the cOnvcn.
ton. This, it. was contendcd by
leaguers classed as anti-administra-
ton men, would mean certain defeat
for league candidates ut the primary
election in June and again ut the
election in November.
The committee was instructed to
make an effort to compromise the
differences between the two factions
and report to the convention.
The Real Fight
That the real fight involved candi-
dates was admitted by Senator Dell
Patterson, Renyille county, after
hours Of discussion. "All the cards
are not being laid on the table," Pat
terson said. 1.-The truth is that these
fellows (the Sorlie administrator
have men lined up for some Of these

offices, who are not satisfactory to
the rest Of us here. If we have to
cat grow you are going to eat crow
with'us." Patterson denied, however,
that he was Farmer Lahorite, AL
though he was appointed to repre-
sent that faction on the compromise
committee.
Other Farmer Labor committee
members were Senator Ralph Inger-
son, Burke county; Senator d. H.
Hamilton. McHenry county; Allen
McManus, Grand Forks, and Herman
Hardt, Logan county.
Administration committeeman were
Peter Garberg, Fargo; Alfred S. Dale.
Bismarck; ID. j. Beakey, Williams
county; &. }. Bell, Stutsman county,
\and Charles Strike.
Estimates of the number of dele
gates who will bolt the convention
with the Farmer Labor faction unless
u compromise is reached range from
III to 80.
Insist On Lemke To Replace Nyc
The only compromise suitable to
the -Lab0rites, it was said as
the committee went into session, is
one in which the name of William
Lemke, Fargo, >one-time Nonpartisan
chieftain, will replace that of Gerald
7. Nye. Sorlie appointec, as candidate
for senator: At the same time ad-
ministration leaders contended that
they we're holding firm and would
not desert Nyc's standard.
! Some delegates feared that unless
compromise was reached the Farm
cr-LabOritcS would holt tho cOn~nn

and prepare to make a vigorous cam

last campaign.
s. S. Mcdonald, executive commit.
tee chairman, reporting for the Sec
ond district, recommended that men,
bers of the executive committee be
elected by the convention from the
state at large without reference to
congressional districts, and that oil
receipts and disbursements be made
by the secretary.treasurer of the
state organixa ton. The matter was
referred to the resolutions commit
tee. The report showed only liz paid
up members in the league in the Sec
ond district and 258 in the third dis
trict. No report was made for the
first district.
World Court Discussed
Discussion Of the World court came
to the fore when it was proposed to
accede to . request by Senator's Lynn
J. Frazier and Nye that the conven-
ton endorse their stand on that is
sue. Several Democratic members of
the league objected to going on rec
ord as opposing the World court, and
the matter was referred to the res
olutions committee. 1t appeared GER
tain, however, that the stand of Fraz-
Ter and Nyc would be endorsed. j.
c. Beeke, Williams county, suggested
that the World court be made an
issue in the campaign and that
challenge be issued to the !. v. A.
Republican convention. to be held at
Devils Lake later this month, to
fight out the campaign for senator
on that ground.
After naming o. H. Olson, Griggs
county, as chairman of the platform
committee, and O. X. Lagcrson, Of
Grand Forks. as chairman of the res.
olutions committee, the convention
launched into the third party propO-
sition.
In. opening the discussion, Il. II.
Walker. Oliver county, said that un-
less the league accepted the Farmer
Labor party he hoped and believed
the Farmer-Laboritcs would nominate
a ticket of thc. own.
Too Much Soft Pedaling
1ngerson pleaded for restoration
of q spirit of class consciousness
among farmers and u revival of their
belief that economic justice could be
obtained through political action in
the way Of legislation. He charged
the league with having abandoned
its aggressive attitude in the inter-
csts Of harmony because in that way
it could get the things it wanted
without fighting for them. The
league, he said, has "soft pedalcsi in
an effort to win elections regardless
of the sacrifice Of principles"
Lcmkc got great cheer ut the
close of his speech in which he urged
q wide-open primary without conven-
ton endorsements and expressed con-
fidence that If every Nonpartisan
supported the move they could elect
an entire Farmer Labor ticket. The
fact that LaFollettc classcd himself
as an independent instead of as 3
third party man, did much to defeat
the Wisconsin senator in 1924, Lemke
said, and asked, "Do you want to de-
feat another LaFollette and elect an
Their Coolidge?" The only way to

The royal mir force Of Canada, and

What do you mean when you "feed

Kitty really is a corruption Of an
old word which meant chest, accord

The ancient word was exist" from,
which we get our modern ''chest."
