Thursday morning the supplies were

to me that Oklahoma and Indian Terri-

formation is that Senator Halley and
others who have heretofore opposed
single statehood with the hope of fin-
ally securing separate statehood, now
recognize impracticability of doing so
and will likely favor Joint statehood.
While not giving expression to his
own views In that respect, Congress-
man Robinson stated his belief that

overruling motions by the defense and
all arguments by cifunsel for both

that an objection had been made, that
it had been overruled and that an ex-

Judge Vandiventer said it might be
of some assistance to the defense to
know that in passing sentence he
would impose a penalty upon one of
the counts charging Burton with agree
ing to receive compensation and upon
one of the counts charging that Bur-
ton received compensation. The court
said that the terms of imprisonment
would be concurrent beginning and
ending at the same time. Judge Van-
diventer said that whether or not he
would impose a fine was a matter
that he would give further consider-
order to have the dockets of the van

Amounts Almost to a Tornado
St Paul Nov. 28 A blizzard of ex
ceptional fury has been sweeping over
the entire northwest for the past 24
hours, and still prevails. Out in the
prairie towns of North and South Da-

valley and throughout Minnesota and
Wisconsin, the storm is one of the

far as I
The storm struck the
;.question being whether the additional

name affects the ballot. Justice
Geigerich decided that it did not, the

Mr. Jerome as district attorney and
for the other candidates of all other
offices, unless it appeared that the
markings was made for the purpose
of indentifying the ballot
Justice Geigrich further decided
that all the ballots in dispute should
be counted for Jerome for the dist-
rict attorneyship and for the candi
dates for other offices as mentioned In
