peacetime action of the federal
government toward attempted
control of raw foodstuffs for the
benefit of the producers.
While the new sterilization cor
poration would be closely related
10 the Farmers National Grain
corporation, a S20,00O,0OO cooper
alive sales agency created last
fall by the farm board, it is more
than a mere cooperative and mar
keting organization. Under the
marketing acts provisions, its
board of directors may be given
almost unlimited leeway in amount
of grain purchased, and how the
surplus may be disposed of.
To Use 100000, 900 Fund
Any losses that might be incur
red IN the processing, holding OF
dumping" of wheat in the domes-
tic or world market may be repaid
from the revolving fund of $780,
100000 appropriated by congress
last June for the farm board. The
loans are made by the federal
farm board from this fund to the
sterilization corporation. 1t is the
plan of the board that any losses
incurred IN unusual years are TO
be made up from profits of the
corporation during more favorable
seasons.
The act also provides that the
farm board may recognize an
existing corporation as the agency
for conducting its sterilization ac.
tivities. 1t is this section of tbs
law which might enable the farm
board TO use the mechanical facil.

the refusal of the delegates to be
swerved from their course by the
pressure of the army of U. S. mar
shalls and aspirants for postmas-
terships who swooped down on the
convention with instructions from
Senator Gerald P. Nye to put ov-
er the Fargo mayor at all costs.
Nye Wanted Gentleman"
The delegates were told that
Lynner had the dough, that he
was a gentleman" and tho he
was an 1. V. A. two years ago, he
had reformed and his past sins
should not be held against him.
But the convention was in no
mood to turn itself into a taber-
nacle where erring children could
hit the sawdust trail, shake hands
with some political Billy Sunday
and get purged of their sins. The
delegates had made up their minds
to select a man whose past was
untainted by sojourn in the /. V.
A. fold and they found such a
man in E. H. Brant, who was
working on his farm when he was
notified by telephone that the
Nonpartistan League convention
called on him to shoulder the re-
sponsibility of leading the farm
ers to victory in the fall cleo
tons.
Wen On Sixth Ballot.
On the eve of the convention
the two leading candidates for the
nomination were A. 7. Lynner and
William LANCER, the latter a Bis
marck lawyer. But on the first
ballot Brant jumped into the lead
and held his own until Roy Fra
zier, floor leader for the LANCER
forces, gave the signal to his fol-
lowers TO throw their strength TO
Brant. The sixth and final ballot
gave Brant so out of the IS votes
cast.
Lynner was doing fairly well
until William Lemke of Fargo
took the floor and made a short
but telling speech in favor of
Brant and against the Fargo NAV
or. He called the attention of the
delegates to the principles for
which the League stood and de
clared that the question of a win
ming candidate must take second
place to that of a nominee who
stands and always stood nv Teaoue
principles He pointed 10 a slo-
gan on the wall which read go
home and slop up your hogs" This
was the reply of a former pre-
league administration to delega-
ton of farmers who visited the
state capitol asking for legislative
!, relief. Lemke's speech doomed

WATERWAY IS
NOT FAVORED
Brazos Island Harbor
Expected to Meet
All Needs

The preliminary examination OF
the I~ntracoastal Waterway in
Texas from Corpus Christi TO Point
Isabel. including Arroyo Colorado
to Missouri Pacific bridge rear
Harrington. and of Baffin Bay, Tex
as, was reported on unfavorabiy BY
government officials. according 70
a notice from the government N
gineers office at Galveston Tues
day.
Two definite points were brought
up TO account for the adverse con-
illusions. the report from Milo p.
Fox, major Of the corps Of United
States engineers, disclosed. These
were first, that the completion of
the Brazos Island harbor project
at Brazos Santiago is expected 20
meet in large measure the needs
for water transportation Of this
territory, and that an additional
waterway for this section was I'M
necessary; and second. that there
is no prospect Of commerce in Baf-
fin Bay and a water way there
would serve no purpose without corr
nection to Corpus Christi and
Point Isabel.
A privilege Of appeal Of interested
parties from this conclusion Of the
Board of engineers for Rivers and
Harbors was announced. Major Fox
explained in his letter that an ap-
peal could be either oral or writ
ten. and that neither should be
addressed to Boarc OF Engineers FOR
