many delegates.
It has been years since a Repub-
lican convention witnessed so spec

68l against it, and only one not vot-

The only plank in the whole plat
form contested on the convention

a field day all to itself. A dozen
speakers, including some Of the ablest

hours, while galleries, filled for the
first time since the convention be-

BISMARCK COMMISSION
PAYS TRIBUTE TO CARR


Claiming the late Lieutenant Gov
ernor John w. Carr as resident of
Bismarck through part Of the year
at least because Of his official du-
ties, the Bismarck city commission
has adopted a resolution praising
Carr for his outstanding character
istics.
The resolution follows:
Though Lieutenant Governor
John w. Carr was not resident of
the city of Bismarck, his legislative
duties, first as member of the
house of representatives and later as
lieutenant governor, necessitated his
presence in our city for a 60-day pc
riod in each biennium. During these
periods he established a wide ac-
quaintance among our people, and
by reason of the friendliness which
was one Of his outstanding charac-
teristics he came to be regarded as
if he were one of our residents. He
devoted himself to his official duties
with singular fidelity. He was
blessed with unusually sound judy
ment, tireless zeal, and ready adj
ministrative decision. As citizen and
officer he exemplified those sterling
qualities which inspire the confidence
Of others. He leaves as a heritage
an enviable reputation both as a
private citizen and as faithful pub
lie servant. In his death the state
sustains a great loss.
Therefore, Be It Resolved, by the
Board of City Commissioners Of the
city of Bismarck, that the foregoing
be spread on its minutes rs q testi-
monial and that the city auditor for
ward a copy thereof to Mrs. Carr
and the other members Of the sur
viving family"

The Minority Report

I'VE recommend that the congress
Of the United States Immediately pro-
pose an amendment to the federal
constitution repeating the 18th
amendment thereto: to be submitted
to conventions of the people Of the
several states called for that sole
purpose in accordance with the pro-
visions of articles 5 of the constitu-
ton of the United States.
Should the 18th amendment be re-
pealed, We pledge our best efforts to-
ward enactment Of such measures in
the several states as will actually pro-
mote temperance, effectually abolish
the saloon, whether open or conceal
ed, and bring the liquor traffic itself
under complete public supervision and
control with revenues properly drawn
from legalized sources for the relief
of burdened taxpayers"

WAR VETERANS ARE
BES|EGING SENATE
TO APPROVE BONUS
Victorious in House, Group
Seeks Favorable Action on
Controversial Bill

Washington, June 16.-(P)-Flushed
with success in the house. the besieg-
ing army of war veterans demanding
payment Of the bonus concentrated
Thursday on persuading senators to
approve the outlay of more than two
billions in cash.
But senatorial leaders were conf
dent the ex-soldiers would meet with
disappointment. While the bonus
seekers were launching their lobbying
drive. the finance committee, under
Senator Smoot of Utah. voted ad-
versely on the $4,000, 0000 proposal.
The bill will be reported immediate
~ to the senate and an attempt made
to get vote there as soon as possible.
Leaders already were confident of a
sufficient vote to kill the bill. but
they were treasured by the size of the
opposition committee vote.
Chairman Smoot said the senate
would be notified Immediately of the
committees action, but that the for
NAL report would not be submitted
until late Thursday or Friday.
How Senators Voted
Those voting for an adverse report

A motion by Senator Connally

With unanimous consent, a senate
vote on the legislation could be had
Immediately, otherwise at least a day
would have to elapse. But, claiming
a big margin against the bill. admin
istration leaders appeared willing to
get the issue out Of the way. to kill
the bill and spare the necessity Of
President Hoover exercising his prom
ised veto.
So enthusiastic were the bonus

which the house passed the bill We'd

1000 Gather for Gala DQu
At Mott Anniversary Fete
Tribute Paid to Pioneers Who
Organized Hettinger Coun-
ty rs Years Ago

It was gala day In Mott Wednesda
when a crowd of approximately 4.co
gathered to pay enthusiastic tribut
Ito the pioneers who have moulded
the destinies Of Hettinger county
during a quarter century Of progress.
It was a festive crowd in holiday
mood that assembled at the county
seat to help the veterans Of the early
days celebrate the 25th anniversary
Of the organization Of the county. =
Pioneers we're there by the scores
from the length and breadth Of the
county headed by William Colgrove,
dean of them all, who settled in the
district In 1885. Erect and active de-
spite the weight of advancing years,
Colgrove led the morning parade. a
rifle slung across his saddle.
Speeches, the parade. a pageant,
athletic carnivals, ball game, and
drills by the American Legion drum
and bugle corps from Bismarck, all
contributed to make the celebration
E, an outstanding event in the history
of Hettinger county.
The struggle to bring civilization
to a prairie wilderness was recalled
when veteran after veteran told the
story Of his early experiences on the
farms Of the district at ceremonies
at the city park. Amplifiers were in
stalled about the grounds so that pic
nickers seated under the trees might
hear the speakers.
Judge John Burke of the North
Dakota supreme court, himself an
early settler In the state, told of the
early struggles of the pioneer folk in
the principal speech of the day. The
hardships and privations in the early
days make our modern problems
seem simple, the Judge said.
Usher L. Burdick of Fargo also
paid tribute to the pioneer and made
plea for the farm home, outlining
some Of the existing evils and sug-
costing possible remedies.
The most colorful event of the
day was the parade. The procession,
stretching for three quarters of a
mile, combined the pageantry of
progress with military glitter and
martial music.
There was an OK team, one horse
rigs reminiscent of the '90's, a zone
lung" automobile, the first in the
county, together with floats repre-
senting every period in the history
of the county.
One float, containing a group of
old settlers who did a square dance
to the strains of old-fashioned music,
drew a rousing ovation from the
crowds that lined the sidewalks.
Hundreds participated in racing
and field events at the ball park in
the afternoon and prizes were award
ed to the winners following a ball
game between New England and
Mott. Music was furnished through
out the day by high school bands
from Mott and New England.

 | As a whole the platform is noteworthy piece iof political writing. It evades no major issue, ai- though somewhat too general few questions It speaks the language, not of Fourth of July ora tors but of the man who casts ballet. It indorses good features of Republican doctrine, such as the World Court and the Keogg-Br1and Fact It con- tans minimum of destructive criticism of the op- posing party.
 Most notable of the blanks perhaps, apart from Prohibition are those dealing with governmental lcosts the tariff, and protection of the investing public On the tariff, the Democrats revert to l"competitive tariff for revenue, dlsaVowlng ult Irritation with protectonism indulged in by Alfred IE smith four years ago. and they heartily ndorst the principle of reciprocal tariff agreements Wlu foreign names-directly contrary to the G.

Warning from Alaska.
Seattle Times.)

From Seward nearest large outftting point to the reported new gold discovery in the NuKa ols- trict of Alaska comes a wise warning against "stampeding" to the auriferous terriotry. "OutSd- CTS" are advised that the district is wild and VIII not support a man who mushes in lacking adequate supplies of money food and equipment
 The man whose knowledge of gold is limited to jewelry, coins or view of gold par at some time in his life has no business rushing north merely because gold ore of considerable richness has been reported in the Nuka Numbers may disregard the admonition of experienced min CTS but they are almost certain to regret such Iaction
 Seattle has any number of former Alaskans who made their stake in Territorial mines, from whom lthe "cheechako' can obtain indisputable evidence of many potentially rich hard rock propositions that never have been developed because of their remote ness from transportation because their operation would involve costs out of proportion to the return The Nuka find is represented as of this type ano any mines that might be located there probably would have to be financed liberally before produc tion could be started
 Reports from Seward state this district long has been known to prospectors in the Territory. Inexperienced men have not rushed there in the past this fact alone should be accounted reasonable proo that mining operations faced by real dfficultie which the uninformed adventurer would find it hart to overcome.
 If the outsider" has plenty of money, goo' health and some knowledge of mining he mgh feel justified in taking flyer" in the Nuka dis ltrict If he lacks the important qualification mentioned above he is more than likely to spar himself rgrets, privations even real sufferin Tiff he remains at home This is substantially wha Seward is telling the American public at this tim and it is good advice
