Montgomery. Ala, June 6.-Mp--
Isolated towns and villages dott ID
the turbulent courses Of scores of
streams in Alabama, Mississippi
and Louisiana today, as the second
overflow in those states within two
month took short cut to the gulf.
Heavy rainfall for five days had
caused creeks to become torrential
rivers. As consequence the coastal
plain counted six dead and hundreds
Of thousands Of dollars in crop
losses.
To this scene was added the
threat Of continued rains, which
caused lowland communities by the
score to prepare for evacuation.
Southern and Central Alabama
bore the brunt Of damage, burdened
not only by the worst rainfall since
1892 in some localities. but also
saddled with a torrent of water re-
leased by the lowering of "a flood
gates on three power dams above
Montgomery.
These gates. grouped about Lake
Martin, one of the largest artificial
bodies Of water in the world, were
dropped yesterday as a precaution-
ary measure.
Railroads Tied Up
Four Of the five railroads through
Mobile had practically suspended
operations, while travel on high
ways was virtually impossible.
Probably the worst flood condi-
tions in the area obtained at Coving-
ton, La, wher. water was standing
from IL to Is inches in the streets
and q $4,000 highway bridge near
the city was washed away. At

by SOrlie

Rolettc. N. D., June 6.-(N-Dis-
cussing marketing facilities, bank
ing and taxation as the leading
issues Of the present campaign,
Thorstein H. Thorcsen, Nonpartisan
candidate for the Republican Cub
ernatorial nomination, tonight in
dicated that he is prepared to carry
out the policies which have been in
augurated by Governor A. G. Sorlie.
The address was the keynote
speech Of the leading Nonpartisan
candidate for state office.
Commenting on the relation of
agriculture to business generally
throughout the country. Thorescn
gave it as lis opinion that agricul-
tural depression has contributed to
a feeling Of uncertainty in all lines
of business.
Business Failures
The number Of busines; failures
in the last few years. has increased
faster than the number of farm
failures, he said, because a large
number Of farm failures occurred
before business failures were num-
erous and thus paved the way for
depressions in other lines. The ef-
feet of general conditions in the
agricultural area. Thorcsen said. is
indicated by the fact that North Da-
kota had $4,000 farms in 1925 and
Of these 26,OOO were operated by
their owners and $4,000 were opcr-
ated bv tenants or not farmcd at
all. Thoresen said he called attcn-
tion to this fact, not to descredit
North Dakota but merely to show
general economic conditions, since
other agricultural states were in as
bad shape.
One reason for the comparative
disadvantage Of agriculture as com
pared with other industries, Thore-
sen said, is the fact that farmers
are unorganized with respect to
taking advantage Of the tariff and
other things in which they would
be benefited by concerted Joint ac-
tion. Organization, he said. means
control Of products and control Of
competition.
Organization Need
"By organization the manufacture
ing interests come before their gov
ernment and receive the protection
of the American tariff. Through ( !
ganization they have obtained the
national banking act and it's allied
laws. With this organization pub
lie utilities have protected them
selves so that they are permitted
to charge rates which will assure
them fair return for their services
as we'll as return on capital. The
farmers, due to the great number
and distance apart, have been un-

REGISTER And
COLE NAMED ON
SCHOOL BOARD
Election Most Spirited Ever
Held Here-1,6O Votes
Cast-POlls Crowded

One thousand six hundred. and
four votes wore east In the city
school election in Bismarck yester-
day, the contest for the two places
on the board being the most spirit
ed ever held here.
DR.. w. E. Cole, making his first
campaign for public office, was ap-
parently the favorite of the people,
receiving 1,O7S votes. George M.
Register successfully sought re-
election to the board for third
term, he having already s.rved as
a member for the last six years. His
vote totaled 722.
w. T. Kraft and E. B. Klein, the
other candidates, received 615 and
ST. votes, respectively.
An unusually widespread interest
developed in yesterdays election
and the single p .ling place at the
Will school was crowded from mid
forenoon until long after the doors
were locked at 4 p. m.-the hour for
closing the polls.
Long Waits in Line
During tire noon hour, especially,
the voters gathered in the Railways
of the scho building in large num-
bers, filling the entrance way and
out onto the sidewalk, waiting the: r.
turns to deposit their ballots with
the clerks. Because Of the jam and
the time required for clerks to write
the name of each voter on the poll
books the line moved slowly and
many stood in waiting for half an
hour or more before they could
vote.
Throughout the balance of the
afternoon the voters came to the
polls in large groups and when the
closing hour arrived there were sew
eral hundred gathered there await
ing their chance to vote. All those
inside the building at the closing
hour .ere permitted to vote before
the ballot boxes were closed and it
was after 4:3O before all had voted.
Several dozen people arrived at the
building after the closing hour but
Of course could not vote because the
law requires that the polls be closed
at 4 r. m.
Take Office July 10
The newly elected members Of the
board will take up their duties at
the regular July meeting, which will
be held on July TO- At that time
the board will hold its reorganiza-
tion meetin~ electing new officers
and making new appointments. Mr..
Register has been president Of the
board the last year, while r. PEN
warden has been secretary and John
A. Larson treasurer. The latter
two are appointed and are not men,

his hackers are expressing in
creased confidence that he can 90

Although, on the surface, they
appeared less active and confident,
the commerce secretary's foes today

who will play big hand in the Sc
lection Of the nominee are not yet

Lowden is still to come. Curtis

Until the whole picture is COM
