OVER 500 ATTEND DINNER GIVEN BY

Langer Hint* at Candidacy for 8anata; Grants Workers

Extra Holiday

MOM than 500 persons attended the Miniveraary dinner staged' Tuesday evening at the World War Memorial building by the Nonpartisan League, making it one of the largest political dinners ever held in Bismarck

High spots of the affair were prac­tical announcement by Gov. William Langer that he intends to be a candi­date against Gerald P. Nye for the United States senate in 1938, a plan often hinted at before; his announce­ment of an extra holiday for state employes over the Fourth of July week-«id and the singing of the chorus from the Mandan State Train­ing school under the direction of Su­perintendent W. F. McClelland.

W. K Hoopes, chairman of the Non­partisan League executive committee, and C. J. Myers, assistant manager of the state hail department, were the oommittee in charge and an­nounced that the total attendance was 540.

Hoopea Ii Toast,master Hoopes also was toastmaster intro­

ducing in order Elwood Eck, secre tary of the committee; R. A. Kinzer, new member of the state board of ad­ministration; Prank Vogel, manager of the Bank of North Dakota; Oscar E. Erlckson, state insurance commis­sioner; Gov. William Langer and Mrs. Langer.

All speeches were brief and that portion of the meeting was finished before 0 p. m., after which the group danoed in the lower gymnasium of the World War Memorial building.

Speaking as the titular head of the party to an assembly of party work­ers, Uuiger said he wishes the Non­partisan League to adopt every worth­while progressive idea Initiated else­where and to originate some of its own that this may "continue to be the most progressive state in the union."

Favors Civil Service Asserting that he believes the time

has come to initiate a civil service system for state employes, he ex­pressed the view that the system of changing employes with every admin­istration is wrong and expressed the hope that those now employed by the state will retain their positions for SO years.

Previous speakers had made refer­ence to the trial of Langer and others In federal court several years ago, the dinner being held on the anni­versary of the date on which mem­bers of the group were sentenced by Judge Miller In Fargo. Subsequently a new trial was granted and after further proceedings the charges against them were dropped.

Saying that he prefers to look for­ward rather than backward, Langer said he remembers only one man "and if you'll help me well square ac­counts with him." The statement was accepted as a reference to Sena­tor Gerald P. Nye who initiated the investigation which led to the orig­inal charges.

Notes Return to Power Referring to the future, longer

said the Nonpartisan League on July 1 returns to complete power In the state government for the first time since Lynn J. Frazler was governor, since it now controls all state de­partments and boards, including all state Institutions.

This fact, he said, brings the league "face to face" with its campaign pledges and the necessity of making a record which the people will ap­prove. 'If we don't do it some one else will be elected to do it for us," he warned.

Reciting the fact that Sunday and Monday are scheduled holidays be­cause of the Fourth of July celebra­tion, Langer announced that state employes "needn't work on Tuesday either." The additional holiday, he explained was granted in recognitlop of their faithful service.

Mrs. Langer, suffering from a cold, briefly acknowledged the ovation giv­en her by the group.

The senate recessed without agree­ing finally to appropriations for these two agencies for the year beginning Thursday. Both houses passed the 81,500,000,000 work-relief bill, however, and President Roosevelt signed the measure before the deadline.

Leaders expect the money for war and interior departments will be pro­vided shortly. Until then, they tech­nically will be without funds.

The committee said the comptroller general, instead of being a "little president" capable of holding up any spending, should be only the instru­

While the president signed the measure which extends present soil conservation payments to farmers until 1942, the house passed the farm tenancy bill providing $135,000,000 over three years to help farm workers own farms. *
