on Attitude Of Nonparti-

Grand Forks N. D., Oct. 22-(P1-
T. H. H. Thoresen, anti-Langer can
Gidate for governor in the Republican
primary last spring, announced Mon
day that he will support the can
didacy OF Thomas Noodle for COVER
nor.
In making the announcement. Thor
essen said that he had endeavored to
bring about certain changes in the
conduct Of the Nonpartisan League
which could not be accomplished due
to the concentration Of power In one
person. II, therefore, feel" he said,
that l cannot conscientiously lend my
support to the further building up OF
this personal power"
Thoresen's statement was as fol-
lows:
"since the present campaign open
ed I have given much thought to the
future Of our progressive organization
and the welfare OF the people OF this
state.
II am a Republican and Inherently
. Progressive as enunciated by the
Nonpartisan League. For that rea-
son I have for the past several weeks
endeavored to bring about certain
changes in the conduct Of our organ
ization and the future policy for the
state, which would make it reasonable
Tor me and those who joined with me
to support the Republican state
ticket. I find this can not be accom-
plished due to the concentration OF
power over the organization In one
person.
II. therefore, feel that I cannot
conscientiously lend my support to
further building up Of this personal
power as believe 1t is detrimental to
the Nonpartisan League and the
future welfare Of the state. am,
therefore, Fundamentally giving my
support to Tom Noodle for governor,
and ask all those who have worked
with me in the past to join with me
in this support.
II have known Mr.. Noodle since
1924, and know from my own per-
sonal knowledge that he has fought
shoulder to shoulder with us Nonpar-
tisans for progressive principles and
candidates. He is inherently Pro-
gressiye. He joined in 1924 in
support Of the late A. G. Sorlie and
has ever since been found in the ranks
Of the fighting Progressives.
HE is q man Of ability. honesty and
sincerity Of purpose, and I feel that
he will serve our progressive cause and
our state well.
This statement is made to set at
rest the many conflicting rumors
concerning my attitude in this cam
paign"

SteiWer

Miami, Fla, Oct. 22.-(R>-Pleas for
early but not immediate payment Of
the soldier bonus and for strong ma.
tional defense were heard at the OPEN
ing session here Monday Of the AM
erican Legion's 18th national conven-
ton.
The meeting was called to order by
National Commander Edward A.
Hayes In q large amphitheater In
Bayfront Park where Thousands Of
neatly-uniformed Legionnaires gath
cred in tropical, gaily decorated set
ting.
Thrusting the controversial bonus
question into the opening session, d.
s. Senator Frederick Steiwer (Rep.
Ore). urged that action on payment
Of the adjusted compensation certt-
ficates be deferred for the present.
"Disinterested and patriotic service
presents . question whether this con-
vention should take an unequivocal
stand for the immediate cash pay
ment," Steiwer declared.
The senator proposed that the
Legion consider the advisability Of
standing for early payment and ask
ing only that our government meet
this obligation at . time when It will
result II the minimum burden to the
people Of the country"
"A position Of this kind" he said,
would increase the prestige OF the
Legion. There Is much reason to be-
lieve that q demand for immediate
payment would intensity animosities
and arouse IN organized opposition
which will make favorable action
more difficult"
Past Commander Speaks
The Legion's response to the adj
dresses Of welcome was given by Past
Commander Louis JOHNSON Of West
Virginia.
A restoration Of "a peaceful, pros
porous country" johnson said, should
be the goal Of the American Legion.
Our deliberations In the next few days
should be governed by that determine
