GOVERNOR IS RETlCENT ON QUESTION
OF BEING PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
POLITICAL CIRCLES MUCH INTERESTED
Sorlie Pleased That Friends
See Fit to Think Of Him In
Connection With Nations
Highest Office - will Do
Nothing to Interfere With
Their Plans

Political circles here were keenly
interested today in the possibility
that Governor A. G. Sorlie may be
advanced by his friends rs North
Dakota's "favorite son" candidate
for the Republican nomination for
president.
The governor himself was reticent
on the subject, saying he had not
9iven thought to the proposal and
that It came IS = surprise to him.
He made it plain, however, that he
feels pleased his friends have seen
fit to think Of him in connection
with the presidency and will do
nothing to interfere with their
plans.
The matter came to light yester.
day with the announcement Of F..
w. Cathro, prominent for years in
the Noupartisan wing Of the Repub-
lican party, that the state Republi-
can Central committee will consider
the advisability Of launching q
"Sorlie for pfesident" movement
when it meets here about. January
IL. The Republican state central
committee, Of which F. ]. Graham,
Glendale. is chairman, is controlled
by the Nonpartisan wing Of the
party.
Movement Popular
Reports from all parts OF the
stats convince him, Cathfo said. that
. movement to instruct North Da-
kota delegates to the Republican
national convention for Sorlie will
prove popular among the voters Of
this state. The demand AZ he has
sensed i, he said, comes from the
rural voters who sbelieye Sorlie
would b = candidate who under
stands The problems Of agriculture
and would be sympathetic to any
fair proposition to solve them.
The movement is looked upon with
favor by Nonpartisan leaders here
who see in it = solution to q diff.
Guilty which they have conceived as
threatening the solidarity Of the
Nonpartisan ranks. The difficulty
has seen tho possibility that Sorlie
might attempt to win for himself
the Nonpartisan endorsement for
the United States senatorship in op-
position to Lynn J. Frazier, incum-
bent, and also = Republican. Per-
sistent runors that Sorlie might
come out for the senatorship in op-
position. to Frazier have caused
much uneasiness among Republicans
here and these are said to be ready
to climb on the "Sorlie-for-pres
ident" bandwagon in order to solve
their more immediate difficulties.
A "Sorlie- e-for-president" boom, it
was pointed out, offers an amicable

GET SECOND JUROR
FOR SNYDER TRIAL
State and Defense Accept
!. Gardener, Ninety-first
Taiesman Examined.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
QUEENS COUNTY COURTHOUSE,
New York, April 20-William b.
Meisner OF Springfield, was selected
as juror number two in the Snyder
murder trial today.
He was the ninety.first talesman to
be examined. Meisner is a landscape
gardener somewhat beyond middle
age. He had withstood questioning
for half an hour as to his fitness. He
was the fourth talesman of the day
to be questioned.
/, William e. Young, a press agent,
who was selected yesterday, is the
only other man who has proven ac-
ceptable to all sides. Young will be
foreman of the jury.
There was a feeling of apathy about
the courthouse square and the court
house as time approached for open
ing of the third days session OF the
trial. 80
Outside, the crowd" which on pre-
yious DAYS has numbered as high as
a thousand, consisted of three news
boys. Inside, in the third floor court
room, the talesmen assembled with
dour looks and pessimistic remarks.
Justice Scudder threatened to keep
court today until o'clock in the eve
ming, unless more speed was made.
AS the jury box had been tenta-
lively filled just before adjournment
last night, filled for the eighth time
since the trial began. all was in readi
ness to resume examination of tales
men as soon as court was called to
order.
TaIesmen Hold Opinions.
The cause for which most of the 81
talesmen examined prior to today
have been excused has been the hold
ing of an opinion as to the guilt or
innocence Of the defendants.
Justice Scudder entered the court
shortly after 10 O'Clock and the de-
PENDANTS were Immediately marched

MACDONALD, HERE,
.H|TSLABOR SUBSIDY
British General Strike De-
feated Own Purpose, For
mer Premier Declares.

Ramsay Macdonald. former labor
premier OF Great Britain, in Wash
ington for tow days on a brief Amerl-
can visit, declared at the British en-
bassy today that in his opinion what
was known as the general strike" in
Great Britain had defeated it's own
purpose largely. He predicted that
any further disputes there between
capital and labor would he a more
concentrated strike with issues mar
rowed TO the points at issue.
The coal strike and its resultant
complications, Mr.. Macdonald said.
were examples of the manner in
which the Baldwin government had
"fumhled." Had the Labor party been
in power, he explained. it would have
been possible to bring the operators
and miners into agreement without
the necessity of government subsidy.
This subsidy, he said, had been
granted by the administration at the
eleventh and three.quarter hour
Sees Communists Increasing.
The number of Communists I'm
Great Britain had been somewhat in
creased. he thought, as the result Of
general strike" but he did not con.
nhicant, or alarming.
The laboring people, whom he char
acterized as those who earned their
living by their hands, constitute by
far the large ma iority of the popula-
ton in Britain, in his opinion. While
not venturing to say outright that he
aspired TO again hold the premiership.
he indicated that the trend of politics
in Great Britain was again in the
Labor party favor.
Guest at Embassy Luncheon.
Mr.. Macdonald was the guest OF
honor at a luncheon at the British
embassy today at noon. He planned
to visit Mount Vernon this afternoon
and will be a guest of the American
Federation OF Labor at a dinner to-
night. Tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock the eminent labor leader will
he received by President Coolidge at
the White House. There is to be a
dinner at the embassy, tomorrow
night and Mr.. Macdonald and his
daughter Ishbel, who accompa MES
him. will leave Washington Friday.
Mr.. Macdonald recalled today that
this was his third visit to Washing
ton. the last visit having been about
20 years ago.
Recalls Rough Pavements.
The paving on Pennsylvania avenue
as 1t is today is the biggest change
here, he thought, as he remembered
having been jolted over very rough
pavement on his previous visit be-
cause the road was full of water
holes. He thought it was paved then
with wooden blocks.
Denying that his visit here had
any political or international signifi-
canoe whatever, Mr.. Macdonald said
