Langer Wins Renom+ination At Valley

About 80 antl-Langer Nonpartl-
sans held a meeting at the court
house last Saturday and repudiated
A. Vlasoff as their leader, and N. P.
Noben as a candidate to succeed
himself for the lower house of the
legislatur~. They also sent Charles
Smith to Jamestown convention to
help name a state ticket in no way

the meeting and later elected him

elected assistant chairman, and
Charles Smith secretary of League
affairs.
After a discussion of the events
that led up to the late League coun-
ty convention and the allegedly il-
legal actions of Chairman Vlasoff
before and at the convention, a res-
olution was adopted condemning
such acts and censuring Viasoff
and Representative Noben for the
way they had been handling the
Nonpartisan organization in the
county, and refnsing to further rec-
ognize Vlasoff as chairman and No-
ben as a candidate for reelection.
Another resolution was pa~ed de-
claring that Vla~ff had not been
legally elected-as delegate to the
Valley City convention and asking
that body to not seat him. A copy
of the resolution was sent the chair-
man of the convention to be read
at the meeting.

SURPRISE
Mrs. Anion Witzlg was most
pleasantly surprised by a number of
her friends and neighbors last Fri-
day in honor of her 74th birthday,
when they met at her home and
presented her with a lovely gift and
served very delicious refreshments
after a pleasant afternoon of social
chat. Those participating in the
surprise were Mrs. Geo. Oech. Mrs,
Leon Carlson, Mrs. A. M. Schmitz
Mrs. Jane Moran, Mrs, C, I, Cook,
of the federal government, directly
responsible to it.
In Fargo, Thursday, March 8, the
United States grand Jury will be
convened, but whether It will con-

of Langer aa head of relief work
remained uncertain.
Nye Urges Presecut/on
From Washington came the news
late Thumday that Senator Gerald
P. Nye had called for prosecution of
any and all Persons involved as he
charged that greed for political
power, greed for political money, had
developed the system that brought~
about the federal government's dis-
missal of Langer.

planned to shut down and sell the

$2,000 without any insurance.
The fire was discovered by
Maurice Miller and by the time
the firemen reached the place,
which is quite a ways out, the fire
was beyond control. The location
was a block away from the fmarest
hydrant, and the firemen l~ad to go
back after the hose cart, the auto
truck carrying only 1,000 feet of
hose, and it required over 1,400 feet
to reach the blaze. As a conse-

Turtle says he retturned in his
car from Bismarck about mid~ht,
and his son came in at about 1 p.
m., at which time there was no
sign o! fire., so the cause of the
blaze remains a mystery. The loss
to Tattle is a severe one and all
