REPUBLICAN NON

By X. P. LoESCH

MONTPELIER, N. D., March 2
On February "a, the NOnparti-
san League faction of the Repub-
lican party held its convention in
jamestown and solemnly commem-
GRATED its past "progressiveness."
About 80 delegates were present,
almost one-third of whom were
from jamestown. Most of an af-
ternoon session was occupied with
routine convention affairs. The
self-seeking opportunists ruled
throughout while naive yokels
Seconded the motion"
"Progressivism" whatever that
is-was the keynote of the con-
ventiOn. They changed their name
from "Nonpartisan League" to
Progressive League" The James
town Sun, a mollycOddlish paper
with only one editorial conviction
which is, that the Communists are
bad; was endorsed for official
county paper. This leaves the
field free for the Sun so the !. v
A. does not have to endorse it.
The great difference between
the two republican factions is tn,

ment also proves the progressive
mess" of the League.
These "Progressives" know
nothing about present day prob
lens. That is why they vacillat
back and forth through the Who'll
gamut of social reformism. Nov

JOE YORK;
MURDERED BY FORD
IN THE CLASS WAR

Joe York, 19-year old Detroit
Organizer Of the Young Commu1i-
ist League, is dead. He was cold
bloodedly shot by Henry Ford's
gunner, while acting as leader
in the Ford Hunger March Mon
day. This is the same Henry
Ford who has been acclaimed as
the Saviour of the American
Youth" for his Trade School.
Comrade York was born in
mining town in Ohio, the son Of
miner, today a member of the
National Miners Union. He went
to work in the mines when he was
lis. After the 1928 strike, he left
for Detroit, the Getty of prosperi-
ty," to work in the auto shops
there, and take responsibility, as
the oldest of children, to sup
port the family back home, which
WAS blachisted and starving.
For two years he worked in the
auto plants. In March, 1880, af-
ter the March 9th demonstration,
he joined the Young Communist
League. In May of that year,
the Y. C. L. decided 10 break the
terror in Hamtramck, city con-
trolled by the General Motors
Corp. A street meeting was held
which was brutally smashed by the
police. Comrade York was beater

Conditions among the sharecrop-

edly worse than in Sandsuky
County, Ohio, but in few places
outside the old South can one find
American farmers living under
more destitute circumstances than
are found among large section
of the rural population Of this
rich agricultural section of Ohio.
Sandusky County is probably
typical of a large section Of the
state and country. However, the
fact that since the discovery of oil
in this section, farming has been
discontinued or reduced to minor
operation on many farms, adds
somewhat to the picture of des-

Hallowell, Venzie and Brock smith ran record miles on the boards. Cunningham of Kansas turned in astounding times in the spring. Mangan and Crowley also looked great at times.
 But by the time the final trials came around, Venzke, who did 4:l0 indoors and Brocksmith were pretty well run down" Both of them failed to qualify. Hallowell, Cunningham and Crowley came through the final tests, but none of them had a real kick" in the Olympic final. Cunningham ran himself out setting the pace for Beccaii, Cornes and Edwards.
 The trouble seems to be that the Olympics can't be run when Americans are at their best. Joie Ray, Lloyd Hahn and now the 1892 crop have missed the Olympic mark.

 Won Hitting Heavy

In every department of the game except in games won and lost, which was the vital factor in de- ciding the 1882 championship, the American Legion baseball club had a decided margin on the Elks in the seven game Little Worlds Series that ended last night.
 In team hitting it was greatly superior as well as in individual batting. It scored more runs and made fewer errors. These facts were revealed today in the official statistics made public by Scorer Edward Mize
 Tom Haines and Stan Grum- melt, who tied for batting honors among the regulars, were credited with the remarkable average of 500. Four other Legionnaires play ing in majority of the games hit well over 300, while only three Elks made that class.
 The averages for team batting and individual batting follow:

UP POPS ITALY

The victory of Italy's great lit- tie runner, Luigi Beccali, came as a distinct surprise to most of the onlookers at the running of the Olympic 5000 meter final, many of whom connected his name only with the vegetable that caused the boy tG remark: You may call it broccoli, but I say it's spinach"
 Luigis triumph, however, was no upset to those acquainted with his record, which prompted this ob- server to pick him well beforehand as the Olympic winner.
 Recall was the best miller in Europe last year, outside of Jules Ledoumegue of France, who was banished from amateur ranks be- fore Faavo Nurmi. The Italian had run tke 1500 meters in $50, just before coming to the United States, so that he was no more than in good form when he romped the Olympic final in 3:51.2 for a new record in the games.

One of the explanations for the record breaking results of the Olympic track and field sports may be that they fed the Films on Irish stew, the Americans occas- ionally on beefsteak, English-style, while the British forces consumed quantities of Oriental tea.
 Certainly there were no note worthy instances of the athletes, especially the brawnier American type, eating themselves out of the championships the way they did four years ago at the battle of Amsterdam.
 Chefs at the Olympic village worked under strict orders and the whole system was much better cal culated than ever before to keep close tabs on the performances of the athletes at the eating table.
 The Brazilians brought their own coffee, enough of it in fact to sell quantities for expense money, while the Films brought along several crates of their favorite hard bread. Otherwise American resources were relied upon to fill various culinary fads and fancies, and they were not found wanting, up to and including chow mein.
