New York, Sept, 2l.-Twcnty years ago this fall two men sat across from each other in the back room of a saloon and laughed their heads off at a little slip of yellow paper that lay before them.
 One man had red face, bright blue eyes and diamond horse shoe stickpin. The other was small with an angular jaw and burning black eyes. He looked like a tough guy. He was.
 Pretty soon they stopped laughing and began 10 dip their noses into two rather large schooncrs Of blue ribbon beer.
 That ended that.

Out in the mining town Of Gold field, Nevada, George Rickard waited for an answer 10 the telegram he had sent to Joe Humphrics, the gen. tleman with the red face, and Ter rible Terry McGovcrn, the gentle man who looked like rather tough guy.
 He offered them s15.0 win, lose or draw. That's what caused all the laughter. They thought if was silly. They had never heard of s15.O00 for a bout. They had never heard Of George Rirhard. They had never even heard of Goldficld, Nevada.
 Failing to get an answer, Rickard signed up Joe Cans and Battling Nelson. piled their cntir" purse in gold coins in his saloon window and boxing history began.

JAPAN VOTES
ACCEPTANCE OF
U. S. PROPOSAL

Naval Arms Farley

Tokyo. March 1l.-(P) Japan ac-
cepted President Coolidge's proposal
for three power naval arms limita-
tion conference today when the cab
met voted unanimously to favor the
project and cabled Ambassador Mat
sudaira in Washington to notify Sec
retary Kellogg of its decision.
Washington. March H.. R) Ac-
ccptance by Japan of the American
proposals for three-power confer
ence to discuss further curtailment Of
naval ornaments means that the
United States. Great Britain and Jap
an will send delegates to Geneva this
summer in an effort to find practical
methods by which competitive con-
struction Of cruisers, destroyers and
submarines may be avoided.
Great Britain's determination to
participate in the conference, not
withstanding the dcclination Of
France and Italy to send delegates to
Geneva, was communicated to the
state department yesterday by AM
bassador Howard. The acceptance Of
Japan had been anticipated.
The hope that France and Italy may
yet find it possible to participate in
some way in the discussions is still
held here. Some officials believe the
two European continental nations
should be invited to send observers
and technical experts to sit in at the
meetings.

Coulter COnferS
With SOrlie About
Appropriation Bill

Governor A. G. Sorlic was noncom-
initial as to his attitude on the agri-
cultural college appropriation bill
during a conference Thursday with
John Lee Coulter, agricultural col
lege president
Coulter, who was accompanied to
the governors office by r. b. Muir
ply. chairman of the state board Of
admins tration. said that the governor
gave no indication as to his possible
action on the measure.
The governor said that he had let
Coulter "do the talking" and had con-
tented himself mostly with listening.
Because Of numerous statements
made by the governor during the leg
islative session, il has been expected
here that the executive will use his
veto pen on some of the items in the
appropriation for the agricultural
college.

ELECTION LAW
CHANGE GIVEN
EXECUTIVE AXE
Setting Ahead Of Dates For
Naming Precinct Commit
tCcmen Not Advisable

Veto of the bill revising the state
primary election law and providing
for the selection at state conventions
Of presidential electors and delegates
to national political conventions was
announced today at the office Of
Governor A. G.. Sorlie.
As introduced in the house by
Representative A. w. Fowler, Cass
county, the bill provided for climina-
tion of the primary system Of nom-
mating candidates for state office
but was amended SO to affect only
delegates to national conventions.
presidential electors and precinct
committeeman.
In his veto message the governor
said: II have before me House Bill
No. 25, providing for the election Of
precinct committeeman and doing
away with the election Of prcsiden-
tial electors and national committee
men and delegates to national party
conventions.
Under existing laws presidential
electors. delegates to national party
conventions and national committee
men are voted upon at the presiden-
tial election on the third Tuesday Of
March of every fourth year. The
precinct committeeman are elected
at the state primary election in June
in every even-numbered year.
Does Away With Popular Vote
House Bill No. rs provides that
precinct committeeman shall not be
elected at the various precincts at
the primary election in June but
that such precinct committeeman
shall be elected on the third Tues
day in March Of every presidential
election year. These precinct COM
. M itteemen SO elected shall meet at
the court house in their county the
third Tuesday thereafter, which
delegates there elected shall meet ut
the state capitol on the second Tues
day in May, where this state organ
ization shall elect delegates to a state
party convention, and this convcn-
tion, so made up, shall on the same
date nominate and elect presidential
electors, national committeeman,
and the required number Of dele
gates to the national party conven-
tion. These provisions. to all intents
and purposes, do away with the pop
ular vote for these most important
offices.
"The effect Of House Bill No. 25,
it the same should become O law,
would be to disfranchisc q majority
of the electors Of this state. We, in
North Dakota, realize and we'll know
that March is not the most agreeable
time during which to hold an elec-
tion. and that an election held on the
third Tuesday in March would pre-
vent a large number Of farmers and
their families from partaking In the
election.
