Editorial Comment
Independent Victories
Fargo F'orun)

In declaring themselves unequivocally for the
Industrial Program. constituted in the Mill and
Elevator and the State bank, the voters of North
Dakota at the time emphatically declared
against any extension of that program By pro-
viding checks upon the Administration of the in
dustries they sad with emphasis of conviction, that
they wanted no more radical legislation and no
more costly experiments with the program already
in force.
The voters nominated Mr. A. G. Sorlie and Mr..
Gerald P. Nye, but at the same time they nomi-
mated Mr.. George Shafer for Attorney General. and
Mr.. J. A. Kitchen for Commissioner of Agriculture,
two Independent members Of the Industrial Com
mission. They nominated Mr.. Shafer. who was
largely responsible for the Devils Lake convention
platform calling for abandoning the League pro-
gram at the earliest practical moment, by major.
ity in excess of Mr.. Sorlies margin.
There is another and more significant thing in
connection with the election: the Independent forces
won great victories in the Legislative contests -
victories that will give them complete control Of
the House and Senate if they are able to maintain
them in the general election.
| These Legislative victories all the more sig
nificant because, in several cases, they were won
| in strong Nonpartsan League Counties. In two
or three instances, the voters, while piing up ma'
jorities for Mr. Sorlic and Mr. Nye, chose the In
dependent Legislative candidates, with the result
that the Independents in position to obtain
60 to GA votes in the lower branch of the Assembly
/ There is only way of interpreting this vote.
Mr.. Sore was nominated because the electorate
approved of his efforts in behalf Of the State Mill
and Elevator and wanted him TO continue but effec-
tive checks set up because the electors wanted
no extension Of the program and no radical legis-
lation
The results show that the voters are unwilling
to abandon the Industrial Program but at the same
time they are unwilling to embark upon any ex-
tension. At the same time it shows that they favor
the Independent program Of legislation that will
return the State to sound business methods Of con-
ductng the Commonwealth affairs, and thus restore
confidence in the State and place It in position
to start greater period Of development. That Il

Washington, Nov. 12.-lR-Pre- liminary skirmishes in the fight that looms over control of the senate in the seventieth congress have begun, although the organization of that body still is months away.
 Facing the possibility of situ- alton similar to that of three years ago when republican insurgents joined with democrats in forcing selection of a democrat as chairman of the powerful interstate commerce commission, although all other chairmanships were held by re- puhlicans, Senator Borah, Idaho, has suggested that party leaders
 permit Senator Lynn J. Frazier, North Dakota. to rejoin the republi-
 can ranks after two years of wan dering in the senate as lone figure since his banishment from the
 party councils.
 Indications that the republicans will make every effort to organize
 the new senate also were found in the appeal made by Senator Curtis, Kansas, the party floor leader, to the republicans of Maine to elect one of their number at the special

election on November 29 to fill the vacancy caused by the death of
 Senator Bert M. Fernald.
 But even if the republicans win
 that contest, their position at the helm remains precarious because
 they will have only 47 seats in the
 new senate, with the democrats
 having the same number and the
 other two held by Senator Ship
 stead, farmer-labor Minnesota and Senator Frazier.
 If the latter votes with the re-
 publicans. that party would need only one more vote to have a clear majority for organization, provided al the insurgents vote as republicans
 until the senate offices had been | filled.
 Senator Borah's proposal was
 made in letter to Chairman Wat son, Indiana, Of the republican committee on committees after con- ferences with others of the republi-
 can insurgent group and with oendlOT fIdZleI, ~uo uoW "dllto the committee standings to which
 his three years of service entitle him. Senator Frazier was one of the four republicans read out of the party after the Coolidge landslide of 1924 on the ground that they had
 supported the candidacy of the late
 Senator Robert M. LaFollette for the presidency.
 Action on the suggestion probably will be taken soon after congress convenes December 6. The commit tee on committees then will fill the
 vacancies on the various commit tees caused by the deaths of Senator
 Cummins, Iowa, and Fernald, and

President Coolidge's Special Train, Nov. 13 R-The welcome which the people of the middle west gave the president and Mrs. Coolidge on their trip to Kansas City, Mo-, two days ago was repeated today as their spe- cial train carried them toward Washington after the president had made an important pronouncement on foreign policy
 The United States MT. Coolidge declared before great crowd in Kansas City on Arnistice Day, will adhere to the world court only on the conditions laid down by the sen- ate. The significance of the utterance was not lost on the assemblage which had gathered for the dedica- tion of the Liberty Memorial, erect cd in the metropolis of the south west in honor of the men and wom- en of the World War.
 Aware of reports that the nations that are members of the court will never accept the senate reservations, the crowd broke into applause in which cheers mingled.
 President Coolidge was deeply im- pressed with the great crowd which greeted him, those at the memroial dedication exercises being estimated by various officials at 150,000, as we'll as pleased by his cordial recep- ton. It was also with pleasure that he found opportunity during the seven hours visit to go to Kansas City. Kansas, for a brief tour of in- spection. All members of his official party expressed satisfaction at the program and the efficiency with which it was carried out to the smallest detail.
 Secretary Dwight Davis of the war department, who accompanied the president to Kansas City, left for Kansas after the dedication, but Everett Sanders. secretary to the president, and other members of the party are returning on the train to Washington.
 They are due In the Capital city late tonight.
 Only operating stops are being made by the train but this is pro- viding opportunity for people at the stations to extend a welcome. At other points the train has slowed down as crowds have appeared to shout greeting.
 At Independence, sedalia and Jefferson City, Mo-, the President and Mrs. Coolidge went to the ob- servation platform last night and acknowledged the plaudits and cheers of hundreds while flowers were given by the citizens to Mrs. Coolidge.

BOSTON HAS.
LAC IDEA

Runaway races such as the
Yankees seem to be making kill
interest in the national pastime
in towns whose teams have no
chance. Therefore, the sfarps arc
trying to put over an idea that
may stimulate interest until the
playing season ends.
One idea born at the Hub OF
the Universe Is said to be receiv-
ing the attention OF the magnates
who would like to hear the turn
stiles shrek q little longer In the
season than up to July 4.
Boston suggests that instead OF
considering the ancient and un-
satisfactory split season plan the
baseball officials turn straight to
the professional hockey idea Of
second and third place teams play
ingN off for the right to meet the
team that's on top for ths cham.
pionship.
II Is i hard fight for the first
team but still it gets q little edge
iii that the players rest while
their challengers are killing each
other off. It Ii pointed out that
this plan makes the strongest
club at the end OF the season
the real champion. tt does away
with the handicap imposed by
mid season playing injuries AMI
poor starts when the season opens.
"If this plan were In force, !,
says q Boston writer, seven teams
in the American League would at
least be trying hard to get up
in the fight. Six clubs in the Ma
tional League would be taking
on g. new lease OF life. The real
fight would not be for the top Of
the standing. but for third place.
