APPLIES TO This STATE,

G. B. Bjornson of Minnesota, who
piloted the Inflated w Z. Lee cam

/ primary law has aimed al all party Or
ganization, converting elections now
into nothing more than wild scram-
bic for a place at the public crib.
His observations apply partially to
North Dakota and the Tribune takes
the liberty to reprint his comments
in part:
"A party cannot exist without a
definite program, all ayowed platform
and clearly defined principles.
Under the laws Of this state as
they now are, there is no Representa-
tive body entrusted with the power
of formulating a party platform
There is no opportunity provided for
the party adherents to get together
and deliberate Oh the issues that may
be confronting the electorate. and
consequently no opportunity for any
party to officially set before The peo-
PIE its aims and intentions

ton of political parties has .,een 60
