n. D. DEMOCRATS
TO UNITE WITH
REPUBLICANS
Plans For Coalition Made at
Fargo Meeting-COnven-
ti0n in January

Fargo, N. D., Sept. 29.-fP)-Plans
for a coalition of Republican and
Democratic independents in the 1928
state elections were formulated at
conferences held in Fargo Wedncs-
day.
At the same time the Republican
state committee determined to hold
. state convention for the selection
Of candidates for presidential elec-
tors, delegates to the Republican ma
tional convention, and national COM
mittee men, such convention to be
held in Bismarck late in January.
Little Discussion
In taking steps toward setting up
q campaign organization for the
state ticket in 1928, the independent
Republicans and Democrats, meeting
separately, accepted with little dis
cussion the proposal that the plan in
operation for several years be re-
stored. It was agreed in the Re-
publican state committee, and in the
meeting Of the executive committee
Of the Democratic party, that it was
essential that the independents
should present united front in the
next campaign, and that this objec-
tive probably could be best realized
through the creation Of a joint COM
mittee.
Both Republicans and Democrats
approved the idea, and each named
three members to act on such joint
committee, with three additional
members chosen by the executive
committee Of the Independent voters
association, also in session in Fargo
on Wednesday.
Plans Formulated
The Joint committee Of nine Great
ed met immediately after the three
creating committees had adjourned
and formulated its preliminary plan.
Decision to call . state convention
Of the independents was reached, and
the time and place for such conven-
tion will be chosen later.

The British governments policy shows that there
is conflict in the cabinet between the extreme con-
servatives represented by Churchill Birkenhead
and Joynson Hicks and the moderate tories led by
Chamberlain and Baldwin. The main difference be-
tween the two factions is, that the former would
use Mussolin tactics while the latter prefer more
subtle methods. Churchill seemed to think the
Chinese could be frightened by display of force
Chamberlain knew that force had the opposite eff
feet Churchill is aiming at the premiership and
he is hunting around for issue to ride into power
on. Cablegrams from Moscow indicated strong
belief in that quarter that the British government
would use the Chinese situation to break off rela-
tions with the Soviet Union. This would be more
possible than year ago in the opinion of the tories
because of the Hopping to the right of the So
called left leaders of the British Trade Union Con-
gress.
