FRAZIER AND
BYRNE DISCUSS
BALLOT FORM
Question Is Whether Nye or
Hanna Will Have Party
Designation

The form Of ballot to be used in
the election OF a senator for the
short term was discussed here today
ut conference between Roy Frazier,
Divide county, chairman of the Non
partisan Republican state central
committee, and Secretary Of State
Robert Byrne.
The question to be determined,
Frazier said, is whether Gerald p.
Nyc, Nonpartisan incumbent appoint
ed by Governor Sorlic to serve until
| the special election in June, or l.. B.
Hanna, nominee of the "Rcal' or
Coolidge Republicans. should appear
under the Republican party designa-
tion or whether each should run
without party designation.
| Nye lists himself as Republican
and, according to Frazier, would be
us much entitled to the party de
/, signation as would Hanna.
I He has proposed to Hanna $
! friends, Frazier said, that both can
didates run without party designa'
ltion. He probably will see. Hanna
or his friends in few days, he said
and will demand such an agreement
! in writing.
! May Call Convention
! If no agreement is reached, he said
he will call state Republican con-
vention to endorse candidate K
run under the Republican emblem
If such call is issued, he said, il
will provide for precinct and county
conventions and finally state con
vention to make the endorsement
Delegates would be chosen on tht
basis 6f the vote for governor at The
last election, he said, thus givins
NOnpartisans in the western part Of
the state majority and insuring tht
!, selection Of Nye as the official part.
choice.
The only reason he doesn't call the
convention without attempting t.
reach an agreement on non-party
ballot, Frazier said, is that such ;
convention would cost Nye's friend:
over $1,000 in the shape of railroad
fare and other personal expenses.
Proposals made by Hanna's friend.
that he call mass county conventions
Frazier said, have been rejected.
"If mass conventions were callet
the heaviest representation would b,
from the towns and Hanna might ge
the endorsement" Frazier said. "Bu
under the system | propose to fol
low, if cannot reach an agreement
it almost certainly would go to Nye
We are willing to make the rac'
without having either candidate ap
pear under the Republican emblem
but If any one candidate appear
there it. is going to be Nye."
At the Nonpartisan convention
here in February, Frazier was ap
: pointed by the state central commit
tee to handle the nominating peti
tions Of Nye and the Nonpartisa1
candidates for congress in the secon
and third districts.

POLICE USE
HATCHETS IN
SALOON RAID
Smash Bar, Mirror, Glasses,
ETC., and Pour Beer Into
the Gutter

Chicago, March 9.-lP) Police
armed with hatchets, raided near
northside saloon last night and
wrecked it after the manner made
famous by Carrie Nation.
In spite of the fact that the cstab-
lishment had obtained an injunction
against police interference, the raid
ers smashed the bar, smashing the
mirror, glasses and other equipment
and then emptied beer into the gut
ters.
The injunction told the policemen
what they could and could not do in
the saloon, but after carefully study
ing the writ Captain Daniel Murphy,
who led the raid. decided it would not
prevent him from stopping the illegal
sale Of beer.

to work out an agricultural policy
which will eliminate the surplus and
