With Radicalism Beaten,
Prospects Are Bright.
TOWNLEY MACHINE BROKEN
State Awakens to Face
' Costly Reckoning.
FRENZIED FINANCE HIT
Initiated Measures Also Seem Sure
to Have Been Voted at Polls
Together With Recall.
FARGO, N. D., Oct. 30. (Special.)
The measures to revise the state gov.
eminent have been passed at the
atate-wide recall election which also
repudiated the Non-partisan league.
Now the future opens with what the
people believe aro bright prospects.
They feel that they are through with
socialists and radical rule.
Returns collected at Fargo last
night from all but 258 precincts out
of 20S6 In the state gave the follow
ing vote on governor: R. A. Nestos,
independent. 106,148: Lynn J. Frasier,
non-partisan, 96,868. Nestos' majority,
S2H2
The early Nestos lead of 27.000 had
been cut down by belated returns
from the western "slope" counties,
the non-partisan league strongholds,
but the awing away from Townley
lam was apparent even In the west,
and victory was assured not only for
Mr. Nestos, but for his two associates
on the Independent ticket.
Freaaled Finance Curbed.
Initiated measures, backed by the In
dependents, curbing the frenzied fin
anciering of the league administra
tion, also seemed certain to carry.
Tha state where the Non-partisan
league was born, where it flourished
and ruled with a high and lavish
band for five yeara, has awakened
from feverish dreams of state social.
Ism. to face the costly reckoning.
The election results may be stated
briefly as follows. Lynn, governor;
William Lemke, attorney general, and
John N. Hagan. commissioner of ag
riculture and labor, the "big three"
ef the all-powerful Industrial com
mission, have been ousted from of
fice. Nestos Elected Governor.
R. A. Nestos has been elected gov
ernor, Svlnbjorn Johnson attorney
general and Joseph A. Kitchen com
missioner of agriculture and labor.
Important Initiated laws appear to
have carried, carrying out part of the
programme announced by the inde
pendents. These laws, 1f passed, will end up
the Bank of North Dakota, establish
a state rural credits system like that
of South Dakota, limit state bond
Issues to $7,600,000, except as secured
by real estate mortgages, restore the
old law for depositories of public
funds and change the membership of
the Industrial commission. The new
commission is to consist of John
Steen, state treasurer; Thomas Hall,
secretary of suite; and Joseph A.
Kitchen, the new commissioner of
agriculture and labor. All are Inde
pendents. Townley Marhlne Smashed.
Arthur C. Townley, founder of the
league, today is back in Fargo, the
scene of his political triumphs In
1918. 1918 and 1920. But times have
r hanged for the former "boss." The
wonderful political machine he built
up has gone to smash, and he him
self Is In Fargo only to straighten
out some of his business affairs be-
fore going to serve three months in
the county Jail at Jackson. Minn.,
for violation of Minnesota's war-time
laws. He declined to comment on
the result.
Though he launched the league and
ti:i heads the national organisation,
he has been sidetracked tor a year
or more in North Iukota and the
ruling power in the league is "Bishop"
Lemke.
Contest proceedings are contem
plated, it is known. The league or
ganization has hren gathering ma
terial for some time. It alleges that
many duplications appear in the peti
tions for the recall, and that when the
surplus names have been stricken out,
there will not be the 69.000 names
left which the law required.
Independents Are Confident.
Independents assert that they had
plenty of names and that anyway it
is too late to knock out the election
after the votes have been cast and
counted.
Partial returns have shown inde
pendent gaina almost everywhere in
the state. Including Fargo, where a
"labor vote" switch had been expected
to help the league. But the league
made gaina in the city of Bismarck
and appears to have carried It by
about 300,000. That city went for the
Independents last year.
In this upset Is seen the hand of
Alex McKenile and other friends of
Senator P. J. McCumber, who held
"neutral" In the fight, but has been
condemned by the independents,
charged with secretly helping the
league. The McCumber Influence was
against the recall.
Thousands of voters supported the
recall candidates who do not like the
recall Idea and are against the com
promise programme of the indepen

Hostilities Are Threatened In Case
London Conference Falls to
Reach Agreement.
(Copyright by the New Tork World. Pub
lished br Arrangement.)
DUBLIN, Oct. 30. (Special cable.)
Both the crown and the Sinn Fein
are completing preparations for a
renewal of the war in Ireland if the
London conference falls. Concentra
tion ef crown rorces in the larger
centers Is In progress. Flans have
also been completed. It was said, for
the division of the country Into mili
tary areas where food distribution
and transport facilities will be under
government control so as to make It
impossible for rebels to get supplies.
It was stated that an oath of
allegiance will be necessary before
a civilian can get food, but through
out the country the Sinn Fein leaders
are making arrangements to defeat
the purpose of this by organizing
their own food distribution.
The republican army is also laying
plans for the conduct of the warfare,
including arrangements for the arm
ing and quartering of thousands of
hitherto unattached young men.
These preparations, although secret,
are becoming more or less public and
are causing general alarm,
LONDON, Oct. 30. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Efforts have been
made to prevent a breakdown In the
Irish peace conference, but a con
tinuance of negotiations seems to de
pend largely on willingness of the
Ulster authorities to assist in getting
Into the line with the Sinn Fein.
Sir James 'Craig, Ulster premier
who has expressed a desire to work
amicably with southern Ireland with
an all-Ireland council, will, it is said,"
be offered extended powers for the
northern parliament, accompanied by
a strengthening cf the position of the
central council connecting the two
Irish parliaments and it is declared to
be the belief that he may accept.
But, it is asserted, he will oppose
any curtailment of the area of the
northern parliament.
The prevailing belief here seems to
be that even should there be a break
down In the conference, the truce in
Irland should continue.

i ENOUGH TO SCARE ANY AUTOMOBILE OWNER. J
Aide to Von Bernstorff Says He
Will Set Example to Country
men by Good Conduct.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 30. The
state department has asked the de
partment of Justice to rule on per
mitting the return to this country
of Captain Hans Tauscher, late of
the Imperial German army, who left
for Germany In February, 1917. with
ex-Ambassador von Bernstorff, while
under Indictment In San Francisco
for violation of American neutrality.
According to official advices from
Berlin, Tauscher wishes to become an
American citizen as an example to
his countrymen of the proper solu
tion of Germany's future through cul
tivation of good relations with this
country. He was reported to have
suggested that the government drop
the Indictment still pending in San
Francisco In order that he may trans
fer his allegiance.
Despite Tauscher's record of alleged
connection with the activities of Von
Bernstorff, Von Papen and other Ger
man agents, the war and navy de
partments are understood to sea no
objection to his return.
It Is Intimated that Tauscher pos
sesses secret Information which
would be of value to both the gov
ernment and certain American indus
tries. Tauscher, according to the Intelli
gence agents, waa concerned with
widespread German Intrigue In this
country and was indicted in San
Francisco with Von Papen for viola
tion of neutrality laws In connection
with the so-called Hindu plot to ship
arms and ammunition to India. After
reaching Germany, however, he Is de
clared to have evidenced a friendly
attitude toward this country and used
his influence In behalf of American
prisoners of war.
The specified charge a gal net
Tauscher was that he, as agent for
German munition companies, fur
nished arms and ammunition for use
in the alleged plot.
SAiN FRANCISCO, Oct. 30. Captain
Hans Tauscher waa indicted in San
Francisco in 1917 by the federal
grand Jury on charges he had at
tempted to violate American neu
trality through fomenting here plots
to cause revolt in India. Indictmenta
were returned at the same time
against a large group of German mil
itary and naval officers, but the
warrant In Tausoher'a. case and many
others was not served Tauscher had
escaped safely to Germany.
He was the husband of Johanna
Gadskl, opera singer.

"OLD GANG" SEEKS TOOL
Successful Side of Convention Seen
Battling for What It Least

Chapter IV.
Although the Intrepid Colonel Har
vey was defeated In the first skir
mish to advance the cause of Wood-
row Wilson, he con- w
tinuea to pursue
his purpose to force
his personal choice
upon the New Jer
sey democracy. The
approaching guber-
natoriai election "r ; i r t?

Rumors Tegan to fc-g1 - i-mf
circulate that the J. P. Tumulty,
machine run by Davis, Smith and
Ross, the great democratic trium
virate of the state, were determined
to nominate the Princeton president
at any cost. Young men like Mark
Sullivan, John Treasy and myself, all
of Hudson county, representing the
liberal wing of our party, were bit
terly opposed to this effort.
"Old Gang Suspected.
v o auspectea tne "old gang" was
up to its old trick of foisting upon
the democrats of the state a tool
which they could use for their own
advantage, who under tha name of
the democratic party would do the
bidding of the corporate Interests
which had under both the "regular'
organizations, democratic and repub
llcan. found in New Jersey their most
nutritious pastures.
At a meeting held at the Lawyers'
club In New York, younger democrats,
like Judge Silzer of Middlesex and
myself, "plighted our political troth"
and pledged our undying opposition
to the candidacy of the Princeton
president. As a result of our confer
ence we set in motion the progress'
ive machinery of the state in an in
tensive effort to force the nomination
of Judge Silzer in opposition to that
of Woodrow Wilson.
Davis Tries to Bead Off Move.
As soon as the democratic boss of
Hudson county. Bob Davis, one of the
leaders In the Wilson movement In
North Jersey, was apprised of the pro
posed action on our part, he set about
to head It off, and as part of Ma plan
of opposition he sent for me in an
effort to wean me away from the
Silzer candidacy. I refused to yield.
Upon being Interrogated by me as
to his interest in Woodrow Wilson,
Boss Davis stated that if we nomi
nated Woodrow Wilson there would
be a big campaign fund put up for
him by Moses Taylor Pyne, a trustee
of Princeton university. Never before
was the Ignorance of a boss made
more manifest.
As a matter of fact, at that very
time there was no more implacable
foe of Woodrow Wilson In the state
of New Jersey than Moses Taylor
Pyne, a leading trustee of Princeton
university who headed the opposition
to Mr. Wilson In the Princeton fight.
Davis' Philosophy Cited.
Years after, this incident the pres
ident and I often laughed at what
must bave been the surprise and dis
comfiture of Boas Davis when he
finally learned the facts as to Moses
Taylor Pyne's real feelings toward
Woodrow Wilson.
Previous to the gubernatorial cam
paign I asked Boss Davis if he
thought Woodrow Wilson would
make a good governor. His reply
was characteristic of the point of
view of the boss In dealing with these
matters of moment to the people of
the state.
"How the hell do I know whether
he'll make a good governor?" he re
plied. "He'll make a good candidate,
and that is the only thing that in
terests me."
Shortly after, those of us who band
ed together to oppose the bosses In
their efforts to force Dr. Wilson upon
us, began to feel the pressure of the
organization's influence. Many of our
friends left us in despair and in fear
of the power of the machine. The
movement toward Woodrow Wilson In
the state was soon In full swing. The
Davis-Smith-Nugent-Ross machine
was" in fine working order on the day
and the night of the convention.
Every Phaae of Fight Watches.
I was not even a delegate to the
convention, but I was present and
kept In close touch by contact with
my friends with every phase of the
convention fight. Colonel Harvey was
again on the scene as the generalis
simo of the Wilson forceB, quietly and
stealthily moving about, lining up his
forces, for the memorable battle of
the morrow.

Bernhardt, With Love for Roman
tic, Plans to Help Fishermen
Save Lives During Squalls.
(Copyright by the New York World. Pub

PARIS, Oct. 30. (Special Cable.)
"When I am dead my tomb shall serve
as a guide to safety for the brave
fishermen I love so well, enabling
them in the sudden storms which
reap death in the Bay of Biscay to
see their way to a haven of refuge
where they may find shelter until
danger is past."
Thus poetically did Sarah Bern
hardt explain her Idea In choosing
a final resting place. With her love
for tha romantic, she has found for
her tomb a wild rocky Islet in the
Bay of Biscay, which the French gov
ernment has consented to sell her at
the nominal price of $100. This islet
is not far from her summer home at
Belle Isle.
It is practically nothing but a solid
mass of granite, but on the sheltered
side it can provide temporary har
borage for a small fishing fleet. Its
appeal to the famous actress Is that
the lonely rock stands high out of
the water and can be seen from afar.
In this weird fastness, remote from
all sound save the thunder of the
Atlantic and the sea birds' screams,
she Intends to build a magnificent
tomb for herself. This will be
crowned with a statue of the actress
in white marble from the Carrara
quarries. Her arms of stone will
be stretched out as If beckoning to
the harassed fishermen to come to
ber little haven and escape the perils
of the storm.
"I shall be my own sculptress,"
Madame Bernhadt said. "I have al
ready begun, but have not got far.
Still, there is plenty of flme." she
smiled. Judging from the vitality
she still shows at 76, she will have
many years In which to carry out ber
work.
"You know," she went on, "I think
one should always try to be of use,
even dead. I have always made It
my aim to be of service in life and
I think my plan for an Island tomb
offers the best means of being use
ful when life is over."
