AGAIN URGES
DEMOCRATS TO
UPHOLD PARTY
Rehabilitation Of Party in
North Dakota First Step
Toward Victory
SIGNERS NOW IN OFFICE
This Fact Pointed to as Rea.
son For Gammons-Simon.
Byerly Statement
sIGNERs NOW IN OFFICE

Reply to the statement of men,
bers of the Democratic state execu-
tive committee which last week
urged North Dakota Democrats who
previously had done so to vote the
Republican ticket at the June pri-
mary was made here today by E. j.
Hughes, Fargo, chairman Of the
Democratic state central committee.
Hughes presided at the Valley City
convention which urged all Demo-
Gratis to return to their own party
fold for the coming election.
Hughes statement, addressed to
the Democrats of North Dakota
follows:
my attention has just been di-
rected to statement recently made
through the public press of the state
and signed by three members out Of
the total of 49 members of the DEM
ocratic state committee. This state
ment signed by these individuals
calls upon the Democrats in the state
to register and vote as Republicans
In the June primaries, and further
alleges. that the recent state Demo-
cratic convention held in Valley City
represented the interests Of the
Nonpartisan league in North Dakota.
II wish to first state that the
delegate convention held at Valley
City was duly and legally called by
me in good faith and that the said
convention did duly assemble pur-
suant to call at Valley City on
March %, 1928, and did there func-
tion as a properly constituted repre-
sentative state convention of DEM
ocrats.
Signers Not at Convention
"It appear that Messrs. Gammons,
Byerly, Simon and Halvorson, not
one of whom attended the state con-
veution at Valley City, are now pre-
suming to speak for all the Demo
Gratis Of the state and to advise that
Democrats should enroll as Repuh-
licans and vote in the Republican
primaries. With an apparent show
Of interest in the welfare of the
state, they attempt to point out that
the Democratic party Of North Da-
kota can function completely and
still vote in the Republican June
primaries. The complete fallacy of
such position is evident to all who
understand that the basis Of party
organization under our statutes rests
npon the election of party precinct
committeeman who must, according
20 law, be elected in June.
1.-THE declaration made at the
state convention at Valley City, urg-
Ing Democrats to enroll and vote
as Democrats in the June primaries
was founded upon this very. point.
The present sorry condition Of our
state organization is entirely due to
the fact that the election of Demo-
.ratic precinct committee men, who

MILLI0NAIRBS
BID FAREWELL
TO W. G. DURAN7
Every Attempt Made to Keep
Informal Affair Secret, But
News Leaks Out
DURANT OFF FOR EUROPE
Friendly Gathering of Market
Leaders Marks Change
From the Past

New York, April 2O.-Fy-An
elaborate dinner of men made mil
lionaircs by the stock market was
disclosed by the New York Times
today.
A group of the biggest operators
in the present record activity of the
market gathered last night at a
private farewell at the Biltmore for
w. c. Durant. automobile manufac-
turer. who sails for Europe tomor-
row.
Durant has been credited with an
impor' part in the spectacular
rises of a number of stocks, includ-
ing General Motors. Anaconda Cop
per. international Nickel and Unit
ed States Cast Iron Pipe.
Every guest at the dinner, the
Times said, was a millionaire, many
by virtue of the market. Reporters
were barred and every attempt made
to keep the elaborate but informal
affair secret.
While the dinner in reality was a
farewell to Mr.. Durant, said the
Times, it more than that was q
gathering of men who are leaders
of board speculative activity in the
stock market and have all become
close friends during the last year
or so, all Of them working in the
stock market and many times in the
same stocks.
This, the times pointed out,
marked change from the past.
Frequently in the past the biggest
operators in the street have been at
each others throats, with ruinous
results. In the present market they
have all been on one side, the bullish
side, and they have profited.
