"Minot has an enviable reputation

"In fact" he continued. "if we

Branding Iron Rule
for Kansas Elections

Topeka, Aug. 4.-(R-Kansas will
inaugurate its party registration law
at the primary election August z.
Clerks at the polls will record the
party affiliation Of every voter, ac-
cording to the ballot for which he
or she calls. Atsthe next primary
election in 1880 the voter will be
required to use the ballot Of the
same party unless he or she files q
declaration Of change in political
faith 80 days earlier.
The new law was termed the
branding iron" bill when it was be-
fore the 1927 legislature, which
enacted it. Republican members
frankly explained its purpose was to
compel democrats to label them
selves publicly as republicans if
they choose to vote at republican
primaries.
Democrats are a minority in Kan
sas, and at primary elections they
usually have a contest for only one
state office-that Of governor. Con-
sequently, republicans assert, there
is a temptation for democrats to
vote for weak republican candidates
at a primary in the hope that

opening an air line from Minot to

making Minot the center of a net
work of airlines which would extend
to all parts Of the state.
The question which the railroad
commission expects to have pre-
sented to it in the not Distant fu-
ture is the right of an airline to pro-
lection from competition by rival
plane operators.
The policy of the commission has
been to protect motor bus operators
from competition by other buses if
the first operator is giving adequate
service. The same rule has been fol-
lowed in granting certificates Of con-
venience and necessity to operators
Of other public services.

be Is large as last years produc-
ton, which was good, and will be
moved to market considerably earl
Ter than . year ago.
Movement Of grain on the rail-
roads will be much earlier than last
year." Mr.. Budd said, "due to the
fact that the crop is ripening two
weeks earlier and to the large in
crease in the number Of combines
being used. Harvesting is general
in North Dakota and Montana now
and the number Of combines in the
fields is much greater than . year
ago. In Great Northern territory in
North Dakota alone there are $50
combines in the fields now. This
will result in a much larger volume
Of grain BEING moved to market very
early in the season.
Prospects at this time are very
good both for the railroad and for
business in general"

FIRE ENDS TRY
FOR AUTO MARK

Hanover, Germany, Aug. 4-tR-
A new effort Of Fritz Van Opel to
establish a speed record with one Of
his rocket cars on rails ended in
failure today when the car blew up.
Opel had two cars, the Rak Nv and
Rak V, in readiness. He expected to
develop some $50 to 300 miles an
hour. Each car weighed about 100
pounds, or twice the weight Of an
earlier model.
The Rak LV started with two
rockets alight, and the other rockets
were lighted successfully at inter
walls of a few seconds. Hardly had
200 yards been covered when some
thing went wrong. Suddenly huge
flame spurted through the dense
cloud Of smoke from the rear Of the
car, and all the rockets exploded to-
gether. One wheel was found in a
potato field 300 feet away.
Opel expressed the belief that a
short-circuit caused the explosion.
The cars run without any driver,
and no one was injured.

TRAINING WORK


The Douglas All Stars baseball club
held a meeting last evening and
reported that their drive for uniforms
and equipment is proving very sue
cessful They already are assured OF
a number OF uniforms and have re-
ceived donations of more than 500
with which to secure equipment and
otherwise carry on for a good base
ball team.
Practise will start Tuesday evening
Work on the practise diamond will
be done today SO that it will be ready
for use on Tuesday. The team will
practise on the open land south OF
PirtleviIle. A diamond has been
cleared there for some years and was
used last season to great extent
both for practise and for games be-
tween scrub teams.
Four new men signed up to play
with the All Stars yesterday. They
are Refugio Rodriguez, Gonzalc
RodIiques, Chico" lbana and Jose
Moreno. John Salem, manager OF
the club said last night that a ten
tative lineup would be slated soon
The team now has an imposing col
lection of first rate ball players ano
is likely to prove very strong if they
can organize so that there will be
real team work among the different
stars.
While the All Stars are working
hard and fast to sew up the talent
for their own gang, at the same time
the White Sox are not asleep and the
team which matched itself against
the Camp Jones nine last year is
expected to blossom out soon, stronger
than ever before, and put up an
opposition to the All Stars which
should create some good baseball fol
