students corroborated his statement.
While Secrest obtained warrants for
the arrest of the students, Wright was

leaders and reelected Lincoln.
THE same alternatives are before

Tribune.American Legion to Be
Hosts At Big Fete on
Election Night
WAR VETERANS PLAN AFFAIR
Will Charge Admission to Dance
But Balconies Will Be
Free to All

Everyone in Bismarck and Burleigh
county is invited by the American Le-
gion and The Tribune to attend the
big election party and dance to be
sponsored by the war veterans on cleo
ton night at the World War Memoir
ial Building.
The party is scheduled to begin at
p. M, and will continue until the
early morning hours, when it probably
will be possible to announce the VIC
tors In most of the election contests
holding major public interest.
Admission to the balconies In the
hall will be free but charge will be
made for dancing and for admission
to the dance floor. Because of their
desire to render the fullest possible
service to the people of the city and
county without cost, both The Legion
and The Tribune have seen to 1t that
there will be plenty of free seats. The
dance has been organized to provide
amusement and interest in addition
to the election returns.
The Tribune is the only institution
in Bismarck which will receive state
election returns. They will be pro-
vided by The Tribune's own election
reporting organization and by the
Associated Press. an organization OF
which every daily newspaper in the
state is member. These returns
v Ill not be broadcast.
In order to provide visual report
ing system and not interfere with the
dance, the Legionnaires have arrang-
ed for a huge screen. "a feet square
upon which the election returns will
be flashed as rapidly as they become
available.
Because the party probably will last
until after midnight, the war veterans
ahve arranged for lunch to be served
in the building, a special committee
having been appointed to arrange for
sandwiches and coffee. .t
The price of admission to the dance
floor will be 10 cents and the dance
tickets will be sold at the rate of four
for a quarter. Chairs will be pro-
vided on the ground floor for those
who do not care to participate in every
dance.

the dance and the admission charge
to the lower floor will go to the
American Legion treasury.
The Tribune invites everyone to at
tend, since this is the easiest means
of making the returns available to
the public as rapidly as they are re-
ceiyed. At the same time it asks
that persons refrain from calling The
Tribune office on the telephone to
obtain returns since all wires leading
into The Tribune office will be busy
with incoming returns.

night unless the election is unusually

Final returns from the Literary Di.
gest straw poll on the presidency show
Roosevelt carrying Al states and
Hoover leading in seven, but the Di.
gest comedies that the New York gov.
ernor may carry five of the seven
states listed for the president as well
as the Al credited to him.
North Dakota is listed as safely in
the Roosevelt column with the figures
little changed from a week ago. Min
nesQta, South Dakota and Montana
also are listed as favoring the Demo-
cratic candidate.
The seven states Used as favoring
Hoover continue to be Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,,
Connecticut, Rhode Island and New
Jersey. OF these, however, the Di-
gest comedies that Roosevelt may
carry Massachusetts,, New Hampshire.
Connecticut. Rhode Island and New
Jersey, leaving Hoover almost in the
same position in which Taft wound
up in 1912 when he received the cleo
toral vote of Vermont alone.
The reason for this effort of the
Digest to discount its own poll is
given as follows:
Here we come to the important
problem of Massachusetts, and Rhode
Island. These two states are in the
Hoover column of the poll. They
were also in the Hoover column Of
our 1928 poll, with still larger Repub-
lican majorities, but both states were
carried by Smith.
History Repeats Itself
History repeats itself, and that
variation of our 1928 poll is likely to
happen again in 1882. We have polled
the two states In exactly the same
way that we polled them four years
ago. A study of the returns. In rela-
ton to the official vote of 1928, and
also to the ballot declarations of how
the same voters voted in 1928, con-
vinces us that in those states our
ballots have somehow failed to come
back in adequate quantity from large
bodies of Democratic voters.
For these reasons we consider that
Massachusetts, and Rhode Island may
be expected to appear in the Roose-
Welt column on election night.
1T is further possible that Con-
necticut, New Hampshire, and New
Jersey, which also give evidence of
having masses of silent Democratic
voters-silent' as far as straw polls
are concerned-will also fold up their
