Plaza Pioneer: George Wilson, the
arch traitor of the republican party,
came out in his last weeks issue of
The Stanley Sun and applauds the idea
of the American people not caring for
party loyalty. Wilson thinks if he can
| destroy all party loyalty among a GER
! tain bunch that he will be a man with
that bunch. This is fake idea,
| George. You will never count with re-
publicans. You tried to make us be-
| lieve that you were western North
! Dakota's choice for governor" when
| you were not, and then after the people
declared you out of the game you sulk-
ed-sulked like a whining cur. You did
not act like man. You showed that
you were politically putrid, that you
were not entitled to the votes you did
get.
Egeland Enterprise Just now the
main cry among the republicans seems
to be for party harmony. 1t has been
the cry all through the last campaign,
lets get together" In our opinion,
there is no way to get together unless
our legislators and officers in power
will first show that they are going to
carry out the promises they have made
to the people. just so long as our law
makers make laws for the corporation
interests and the few money powers.
instead of making them equally for the
common people, and our officers elected
to enforce our laws, fail to enforce laws
that affect these large interests and
sell themselves soul and body to these
financial powers, just so long there viii
be a big split in the republican party
is 1t any wonder there are two fac
lions, is 1t any wonder that the social
list movement is getting popular all
over the country? No! They have
remedy and the people are beginning
to wake UP. And unless the republic
cans and democrats make good their
promises, in q few years there will NOT
De enough left of either party to saw
they ever had a party. The promises
they have made in their pledges and
platforms would make good laws If
carried out, but this has not been done
and right here is where the trouble is
NOW that election is over and the
coming session of our legislature will |
nave republican majority in both |
houses, it will be UP to them TO carry |
out the promises they have made prior /
10 the last election, if the republicans /
expect any party harmony. The same /
can be SAID of our national law max
ing BODY They have failed to ful6ll
Ihelr promises to the people of this
country. The laws they have passed
nave protected the corporations and
trusts more than the common people.
ana the results of these laws have
oeen anything but satisfactory to the
masses of this country. Now. is II
thy wonder that there is a division in
he two old parties and that NEW
movement is on in this country? If the
men we elect to office do not carry ont
ne peoples wishes, how can we ex- \
'ect TO stand united and keep on elect
ng SUCH men to office or how can we
,Apect TO Keep the party together, I'M
Ter conditions as they have existed
or the past few years 1t will do very
little good to cry party harmony nm
ess our state and national officials
AIRY out their pledges to the neonIe
or the people are getting tired Of he
ng buncoed on every turn of the road.
ne time is right at hand when. il one
nan cannot at least carry out his
Wedges another will be put in his Mace
ma we believe that is just about as far
s party harmony goes in North pa {
ota Or any other state-unless party :
romises are fulfilled.
