FOR DELEGATES
Rival Republicans in Several
States Take Rows to Kansas
City

Washington, May 25.-R-Rival
Republican factions in more than
half q dozen southern states intend
to carry their fight for recognition

some bearing on the national con-
vention's choice three weeks hence

tion, a good sized crop Of contests
for delegates seats has developed.
Already the Republican national
committee has been notified that the
credentials Of Al Of the 1,O89 dele
gates will be in dispute, and there
are indications that before the con-
vention % more will be chal-
lenged.
Time for notifying the commit
tee Of contests expired last mid
night, but under the rules states
and territories making late dele
gate selections have . few days
grace.
Committee Gets Disputes
z All the disputes will be threshed
out before the full committee which
has been called to meet at Kansas
City June 4, and those who lose
out have the right Of appeal to the
convention credentials committee.
OF the contests already filed. the
entire delegations from the two
states-Louisiana and Mississippi
are in the disputed column with Il
convention votes to stake from each
state. Others involve nine seats
from Florida, three from Georgia,
two each from Kentucky, and the
District Of Columbia. and one from
Tennessee.
II the group still to be field are
the 26 delegate votes from Texas
all the state has-and the two from

delegation from Pennsylvania,
whose 70 uninstructed delegates to
Kansas City are expected to play q

Hoover managers attach great
significance to the attendance of
10 members of the Pennsylvania
house group. Illness and other en-
gagements prevented five others
from being present. The secretary's
hackers pointed out that this was
the first attendance of he keystone
state members at the regula4. month

that Secretary Melons recent dec
laration that the secretary ap-
preached nearest the Republican

LIVING COSTS
UP IN SWEDEN
Oscar Backman, Wilton, Com
pares Home Land With
North Dakota

"Sweden is backward this spring.
1t has been cold and dry in all parts
of the country. Little seeding has
been done. I am just starting to
prepare seed potatoes"
This statement is made in letter
to The Tribune by Oscar Backman,
owner of the Highland Grain and
Stock farm near Wilton, who with
Mrs. Backman is visiting his old
home at Trolhatton, Sweden. The
letter was written May s.
"While it is getting green here, it
is cold. We have fire in the house
every night" Mr.. Backman re-
lates.
"Wood and coal are expensive.
Wood costs 40 cents an armful; coal
is 70 cents a bushel.
Eve can not complain about the
high cost Of living in North Da-
kota. Coffee costs from 60 to 80
cents a pound here as in the United
States. It takes just as much
money to buy food here.
"If I leave the house here in the
morning on shopping trip, with
my pockets full Of silver, l come
back with them empty at night. A
good As cent American lunch costs
from $3.50 to $3.50 in Swedish
money.
"North Dakota farmers have it
easy when it comes to working the
soil. It takes ten times as much
labor here to farm . piece of land
as it does to farm the same land
at Wilton. One man can do more in
North Dakota than 10 here. Winter
is eight months long!
n wouldn't trade good old North
Dakota for anything here"
The Backmans left New York on
March 8 and landed at Gutenberg,
Sweden, on March 18. They reported
q stormy first two days when the
ship bucked a blizzard from New
York to Halifax.

DAUGHTER OF
LLOYD GEORGE
HOUSE MEMBER
Stormy Scenes Mark First PO-
litical Success of 25.
Year.Old Girl

Llangefni, Anglesey, Wales, May
25.-(R-Stormy scenes marked the
first political success Of Miss Meg
an Lloyd George yesterday, but to-
day the 25-year-old daughter of
former Premier David Lloyd George
hoped to sit beside her father in the
house Of commons as the liberal
member from the Anglesey divi-
sion.
Local differences among the Lib
eral electors caused a noisy scene
when they met to choose their can
didate for the sest. There were
three candidates-Miss Lloyd
George, Ellis w. Roberts, and Col
onel Lawrence Williams.
Colonel Williams in his speech to
the Liberal association showed warm
resentment for the support which
was being given the young woman
and he was frequently halted by
hostile comments. The majority,
however, apparently wanted Megan
as their representative and she got
1923 votes to the Colonel's IA while
Mr.. Roberts got 245.
Megan has much Of her fathers
gift Of incisive speech. She made
. good impression in touring the
constituency and her speech Of
thanks was loudly applauded. OF
her political career, she said in an
nouncing her candidacy:
II love my father dearly. / ad-
mire him as q great chief-my poll
tical chief. ! am affiliated to his
party and want to collaborate in his
work."

al for christian journalists to pub
lish "a great christian daily news

NEW DECISION
FOR TERMINAL
Supreme Court Upholds Bis
marck Judge and Railroad
Commissioners

Grand Forks, May 25.-tF1-The
North Dakota supreme court today
entered an order denying the appli-
cation of the Great Northern rail
way, ct al, for rehearing of the
Grand Forks grain terminal case,
according to information received
from Bismarck by Judge H. A.
Bronson, chief counsel of the North
Dakota terminal grain exchange.
This denial of rehearing is the
final determination of the supreme
court in this case. 1t upholds the
decision of the North Dakota board
Of railroad commissioners, and of
Judge j. A. Coffey, trial Judge in
Burleigh county district court where
the case was tried. In these de-
cisions Grand Forks was recognized
as q terminal point and as such is
entitled to transit privileges on both
single and joint line hauls. Grand
Forks now has unquestioned
recognition as q terminal by the
state supreme court. This recogni-
tion was also given by the interstate
commerce commission in the East
Grand Forks case whereby transit
privileges were granted, according
to Judge Bronson.

FILIBUSTER IS
BROKEN JUST
BEFORE NOON
Those Who Carried on Fight
Against Bill for "a Hours
Become Exhausted
FINAL VOTE IS 4s TO 81
Report Provides for GOvern-
ment Operation and Max
ing of Nitrogen

Washington, May 25.-(AP)-
Breaking filibuster which had
lasted for more than "a hours and
exhausting those who I'D carried it
on, the senate today adopted the con-
ference report on the Muscle Shoals
government operation bill.
The collapse of the filibuster came
after Senator Mcclellan, of Tennes-
see. fighting against project in the
bill for dam at Cove creek. in his
home state, had exhausted his ply
sical endurance after hours Of
speaking.
He frankly told his colleagues
that he could 60 no further when he
was turned down on two points of
order he had made against the bill,
but he added that he was certain
President Coolidge would veto it.
Mckellar, Tdyings Of Maryland
Blease Of South Carolina, and King
of Utah, bore the brunt of the
speechmaking which ran through the
night and morning, but the propo-
nents of the measure as it stands. led
by Norris of Nebraska, stood their
ground firmly. Never throughout
the long hours was there the slight
est sign of surrender or compromise
on their part.
The conference report, which was
adopted by a vote of 43 to 81, is
compromise between the senate and
house bills and would provide for
government operation of the Muscle
Shoals project ana for tn manufac-
ture Of nitrogen. The house must
yet act.
At the insis. nee of the senate,
provision for manufacture of ferti-
lizer was eliminated from the report
early this week. The compromise
provided, however, for the construc-
tion of the Cove creek dam.
Party lines were wiped out on the
vote. which came suddenly shortly
before moor.

Directors Of the Greater North
Dakota association yesterday agreed
that North Dakota is a prosperous
state and that j. M. Devine j. its
prophet.
Last night they Joined with state
officials in honoring Devine, who for
40 years has preached the doctrine
of faith in the state, its resources
and its people.
Now commissioner Of immigra-
ton, Devine is former governor
and a pioneer of the state who came
here in 1884 and has been active in
its affairs ever since.
Devine was pr serted with q hand
some silver plaque on which was in
scribed tribute to his enduring
faith in North Dakota which has
been an inspiration to all Others"
In a brief address James S. Mil
10y, secretary of the Greater North
Dakota association, said the idea
which Devine has fostered though
good years and bad led to the or
ganization Of that body which last
year spent $4,000 in advertising
North Dakota and the opportunities
which it offers to settlers.
Devine's Faith
Through the trials and tribula-
tions which be-et every pioneer
state. Milloy said, Devine stood
steadfast in preaching and prophesy-
ing that this state would come into
its own. "The cord Of the last
few years proves that he was right"
Millov said, "and this association OF
North Dakota business men was or
ganized to carry to the people OF
other states the message which Mr..
Devine has preached since pioneer
days."
Recounting his experiences as inn
migration commissioner, Devine said
the hardest thing he has haG to
combat is the 40 years of persist
ent and pernicious mis-. epresenta-
tion to which North Dakota was
subjected by the eastern press"
Time was, he said, when a North
Dakota blizzard was the worst pos
sible kind. A heavy wind was
labeled tornado and conditions
generally were misrepresented in
every way possible because. no one
made it his business to challenge
such statements.
lnaccuracy Challenged
In recent years, however, Devine
has made it his business to chal-
lenge the accuracy of every state
ment tending to reflect discredit on
the state. Results have been OBJ
tanned, he said, because of tn. fact
that "most editors seek fairness and
accuracy and they need only to be
told the truth to heed it"

WRATH
N UGH FEARED
BY AUSTRIANS
Rioting Around italian Con.
sulate May Cause Trouble,
Cabinet Thinks

Vienna, Austria, May Z5.-R)-
The Austrian cabinet today feared
that serious rioting which occurred
around the italian consulate at Inns
bruck in the Austrian Tyrol would
bring q recrudescence of official
Italian wrath against Austria.
The Italian flag, which was fly
ing from the consulate in honor of
Italy's declaration Of war against
Austria Is years ago, precipitated
the outbreak. During a riotous
demonstration the flag was torn
down and cast into the streets.
Commandatore Riccardi, Italian
Consul General, was hooted and
menaced.
Police reinforcements and soldiers
beat back the mob. Many women
and children were hurt and many
men were dubbed. The flag was
promptly restored and the civic au-
thorities hastened to apologize for
the insult. StepH were taken to
bring those :. ,ilty to punishment
and eight alleged ring leaders were
arrested.
Commandatore Riccardi compelled
the governor 7, order = squad of
soldiers from the Austrian army to
march past the Consulate and sa-
lutte the Italian emblem. This was
done, a strong guard was placed
about the building and officials
thought that the disorders were
ended.
The Austrian governor posted .
bulletin at the city hall declaring
the attack was "senseless" and "fu-
tile" This .censed Nationalist
students who had been in the van
Of the first demonstration. They
returned to the Consulate and tried
to reach the flag again.
As thew struggled toward the
flag they shouted:
"Down with our cowardly govern
ment. It is trying to kill our Ma
tional PRIDE"
Rioters Held at Bay
The bayonets Of the soldiers held
the rioters at bay. As they grew
more menacing police and soldiers
charged and drove them down side
streets. There the lines held until
after dark when q heavy rain dis
persed the mob.
A few months ago Austria made
. world wide protest against al
legged unfavorable treatment Of Aus
TRANS and Germans in the Italian
Tyrol. Premier Mussolini made this
the occasion Of . strong denuncia-
tion Of Austria for attempting to
interfere with an affair which con-
cerned Italy alone. He threatened
to take severe steps against Austria
il the matter were carried farther.
The government hoped today that
the prompt apologies given 1t
Innsbruck, the restoration and sa-
lutte Of the flag and the defense Of
the consulate from . second attack
would convince Premier Mussolini
that every possible official step had
been taken and that individual ex-
tremists alone were to blame.
