NORTH DAKOTANS Want
GAME PROTECTED

Souris, N. D., July THAT the
sportsmen of North Dakota want the
game protected was demonstrated In
at least three instances in the recent
primaries. u. L. Burdick. one Of the
candidates for the republican nominal
ton for governor, had a plank in his
platform advocating the abolition OF
the game wardens and leaving the
matter in the hands of local county
officials. He was unsuccessful.
State Senator Garden of this county
made a bitter fight against the game
laws and the sportsmen, becoming
alarmed over his attitude and the dam
ger threatening the determination OF
game, rallied to the support Of the OPP
posing candidate and Garden was de-
feated for denomination.
Over in Cavalier county Senator
Mclean is an ardent sportsman and
favors game protection. He was
chairman of the fish and game com
mittee in the upper branch. His OPP
ponent, Magnus Snow1eld, taking a
cue from Burdick's platform, favored
the abolition of game wardens. AS a
result the sportsmen got behind NC
Lean and Snowfeld was badly b.
en-.
The results indicate that the North
Dakota sportsmen do not W retro
grade legislation and hat they Will
support candidates who take a pro-
gressive stand on game law legisla-
ton, while they will oppose those who
wish to ignore the game protective
features.
The sportSmen realize that a county
| official seeking reelection is less likely
to antagonize the voters by enforcing
| the game law, thar some appointive
game warden. whose enure of posi-
ton depends on the name in which
| he enforCes the law.
The sportsmen Of this section Of
| North Dakota have an abundance Of
game and they wish 1t perpetuated.
They are backing the game wardens
and are frowning upon sooner" shoot
| ers, game hogs and other offenders,
