STILL WIDE OPEN AFFAIR

Valley City, N. D., April 6.-R-
A few minutes before the opening of
eth Independent Voters association
convention Wednesday, Attor ney
General James Morris announced
himself as a candidate for governor.
The announcement came after Roy
Johnson, Cass county farmer, had
consented to make the race.
An announcement from Morris was
issued after his supporters had asked
him to make known his wishes re-
garding the governorship. He previ-
ously had declined to make any de-
claration as to his candidacy.
The convention got underway with
the gubernatorial selection still q
wide open" affair, after practically
all night conferences in which efforts
were made to bring out one candidate
from the large field.
Consider johnson Strong
johnson was considered strong
after he consented to make the race.
If Endorsed. He previously had re-
fused fatty to make the race.
State Senator Frank H. Hyland Of
Devils Lake was the subject OF a
boom of considerable proportions,
while Attorney James Morris remain
ed in the running. Hyland is con-
sidered an out-and-out candidate for
the office.
Organization details occupied the
delegates as the convention swung
into action but recess was planned
to permit the Real" Republican
convention to convene to indorse Re-
publican congressional candidates.
The situation created by withdraw
al of John Carr of jamestown from
politics and as a candidate for gov
ernor remained the difficult pream-
BILE before the convention. Party
leaders held hope that they would be
able to present q candidate behind
whom they could muster the neces-
sary support before the convention
opened, but such hopes failed to
materialize.
Jones Makes Fight
Dan r. Jones of Wahpeton was
another announced candidate for
governor, while former Governor r.
A. NeStos still was mentioned as one
of the possibilities.
Should Attorney General Morris
receive the Endorsement for governor,
liver A. Acker, state tax commissioner,
was viewed as a likely candidate to
succeed him. Acker also has received
mention as gubernatorial candidate.
For lieutenant governor State Sen
ator James P. Cain, Dickinson, was
considered as likely running mate
for Johnson, while Hyland was
similarly considered. State Senator
Frank Ployhar Of Valley City is
among the lieutenant governor pos
Sibilities.

SOCIALISTS MAKE BIG
GAINS IN MILWAUKEE

Milwaukee. Wis, April 6.-R)-So-
cialism made impressive gains In Mil
waukee's city election Tuesday. re-
electing Mayor Daniel w. Hoan by a
large majority, capturing the city
treasurers office and increasing their
hold in the city council
Hoan. who has been mayor since
1916. apparently scored the greatest
triumph of his political career. He
walked to victory. Returns from 282
OF the citys 1888 precincts gave him
75,627 votes against 46,284 for his
nonpartisan opponent, Joseph p.
Carney.
A Socialist member OF the school
board. John w. Mudroch. was pro-
NOTED to the city treasurer's office.
He replaced the veteran nonpartisan
treasurer. John ]. Drew. In 282 pre-
cincts Mudroch had 1911 compared
to 43467 for Drew.
Indications were that Socialists will
increase measurably their strength in
the city council.

School Board SlQSf1eS Its
Expenditures by $36,94O
Action is Taken Tuesday Eve.
ming at Meeting With Tax
payer Committee

School board expenditures Tor the
1928 school year will be reduced
$50 $40 under program adopted by
the Bismarck school board Tuesday
night.
The program calls for the reduction
of teachers salaries, .curtailment OF
athletic activities, elimination of GER
tain subjects from the curriculum,
reduction in the number of teach
ers. and the elimination Of kinder
gartens.
The economy program was adopted
by the board in session with the city
committee of the Burleigh county
taxpayers association, made up OF
one member from each ward in the
city. In this group were Robert
Webb, H. J. Duemeland, Gordon Cox,
John Peterson, Matt Senger, and
Grant Marsh. The city commission
ers also were invited to attend the
session.
Plans Arc Outlined
The program calls for the elimina-
ton of French and bookkeeping from
the high school course, and the con-
solidation Of two opportunity rooms
into one. The plan provides for the
suspension of the operation of kim
dergartens until such time as condi-
lions will warrant their resumption
These proposals will eliminate six
teachers from the payroll and, with
the cost Of equipment and supplies
for these departments, will bring
ohn,,t q saving If $40 roo
The program includes the retire
ment Of bonds in the amount OF
$4,000, and can be counted as a re-
duction of the tax bill, according to
H. o. Saxvik, superintendent OF
schools
The salaries of all teachers, super
intendent, principals and school en-
ployees will be reduced in the sum
of $1O,160.
There will be a reduction of $11, 010
in the operation and maintenance OF
the school plant. This saving will be
brought about by curtailment Of va
rious school activities, night school
athletics. and the maintenance of the
Hughes Field. 1t is proposed not to
purchase any library or supplement
tary text books and to use care in the
purchase and use of all general sup
plies. The maintenance of the build
ings will be reduced to the lowest
possible cost consistent with good
business, Saxvik said.
Limit Time of Contracts
Because of the threatened passage
of the initiated bill providing for the
reduction of assessed valuations from
IS to so per cent, the board finds
it necessary to limit the time of all
contracts to six months. Saxvik said.
The board has taken the position
that if this proposal becomes law
and financial conditions do not i'm
prove, there is possibility that
schools cannot be maintained for a
longer period than six months dur
ing the period under consideration.

TOWN IS EXCITED BY.
REPORTS that BABY
WILL Be HOME soon
Optimism Prevails in HopeWell,
Though None Of Informal
ton is Confirmed

Hopewell, N. j., April 6.-(Fr
Optimism-unexplained but insistent
swept through this hill village
Wednesday as reports flew the Lind
bergh baby would be home soon.
Neither police nor any one else in
authority would sponsor the expect
ant feeling. Villagers drew deduc-
tions from the CHEEKY mien of Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh as he turned
out Tuesday, cedar branch in hand,
to help battle brush fire that
menaced his home on Sourland hill.
Others recalled he was cheerful
and unworried shortly before he took
off for Paris and said you couldn't
tell from looking at him what he is
thinking.
Lights cleaned in the home Tues
day night. The state police force
quartered at the estate was being dim
inished, despite an announcement by
Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, its
leader, no one had requested with
drawal.
Two Mysterious Flights
The air of hope rested ultimately,
however, on two mysterious airplane
flights Col. Lindbergh made over
Martha's Vineyard and adjacent wa
tiers off the Massachusetts, coast, In
a reported attempt to establish con-
tact with a small yacht.
The fact lights have been seen in
the nursery from which 2l-month-old
Charles A. Lindbergh. Jr., was stolen
March l also fed the flame Of hope,
as did the continued absence from
his Norfolk home Of John H. Curtis,
one of three Intermediates who be-
lieve they have established contact
with agents Of the kidnapers.
But police said they were unaware
Of any reason to think prospects had
frightened.
Island Holds Interest
The island of Martha's Vineyard
was a center OF interest again Tues
day. Not many miles off shore five
coast guard vessels lowered, while an
amphibian like the one fishermen
said they saw Lindbergh plotting
Sunday flew over Nashawena island.
Later a dragger, believed to be the
Alva, steamed past Marthas Vine
yard. A civilian was said to have
boarded this craft Sunday, and this
was linked with the visit of the plane.
Mystery still marked the visit to
England Of Maj. Charles H. Schoeffel
of the state police. Instead of going
to Glasgow, as he was reported in
tending to do, he stayed in London
Tuesday. In Glasgow lives the moth
er Of Betty Cow, the baby's nurse
maid.
Col. schwarzkopf disclosed that in
vestigations abroad showed that none
Of the Lindbergh servants had any
criminal record before coming to
this country.
In his morning bulletin Colonel
Schwarzkopf declared mo lights have
been burned under any unusual cir
cumstances In the nursery and there
are no circumstances Of any signific-
ance in this connection" He ignor-
ed question which asked vertical
ton or denial Of report the baby
was returned to the home more than
a day ago.
! The rest Of the bulletin detailed
clues which had faded into nothing
as fast as they were investigated.

yICTORS IN NEW YORK

Albany, N. Y. April 6.-P-NeW
York states primary was a walk
away for the Roosevelt and the Hoov-
er tickets in the lone Democratic and
the two Republican contests.
In the Democratic contest. in the
4lst congressional district in Buffalo
supporters of Governor Franklin D
Roosevelt swamped ticket favorable
to former Governor Alfred E. Smith
by better than two to one.
The Republican contests were IN
New York City and in Brooklyn. Del.
egates favorable to the denomination
of President Hoover won by approx
mately 18 to one in one and by about
four to one in the other district over
supporters Of Joseph I. France Of

Milwaukee, April 6.-(P)-Wisconsin
Republicans, divided In a bitter bat
tie to elect delegates to the national
convention in Chicago next June,
again apparently have followed the
path OF the La Follettes, leaders OF
the Progressive faction, while Demo-
Gratis, also split, took landslide into
the Roosevelt camp.
While all positions still were un-
decided, returns from 1,101 precincts
out of 2845, gave the Progressives
3l3,l39 votes. The Conservatives had
293,706. On that basis, apparently
they should be in the running to elect
four delegates large, leaving Con-
sentative Republicans in the contest
for three places as the result Of Tues
days delegate primary.
A Progressive victory was expected
in view of the huge following built up
by Senators Robert M. La Toilette,
John j. Blaine. and Philip F. La Fol-
lette, brother of the senator and gov
er11or of Wisconsin.
Surprising. however, to Republican
Wisconsin was the unprecedented
Democratic vote indicated on the basis
of present returns. Democrats raj
lied In fight within the state organ
ization that resulted in 273.837 votes
for their six candidates at large, the
slate pledged to Governor Franklin D.
Roosevelt of New York for the presi-
dency topping unpledgcd group OF
candidates by 86,837 votes. The vote
was: Roosevelt Democrats 1S0337
unpledged Democrats $500.
The Progressives were favoring the
nomination of Senator George w
Norris of Nebraska as president and
the conservatives. unpledged. had CIV
en- "tacit approval" to the Hoover ad-
ministration but had not endorsed
President Hoover as a candidate Tor
reelection.
In addition to their six delegates
at large, the Roosevelt Democrats al
so won two seats in each OF the ~
congressional districts.

He evidently must lose two clubs

His next lead was the king of

forced West to go up with the ace.
West returned a diamond, which
Watson ruffed and picked up the

His next lead was the king of

Watson now had the queen of

jack Of clubs in dummy for the two
remaining tricks, thereby making
his contract of four hearts for a
