CIp-IM COMMISSION Is TOO
EXPENSIVE

Brainerd Tribune: Mandan, the
first city in the state Of North Dakota
to adopt city commission form Of gov
crnment, may abandon the plan. A
petition is now being circulated asking
the commissioners to call a special
election and submit to the people the
question Of returning to the old alder
manic system. The petition is mike
ly to be granted as an election will be
held in April and the petitioners can
wait three months. The chief reason
for which the change is asked is that
the city has incurred too much iadebt-
cdness in water, sewer and paving i'm
provements, causing a too high rate

DEFENDS LINDBERGH

Ato'~v Herald Tribune: While the
Herald Tribune is not familiar with
CONGRESSMAN Lindbergh's political in
tentions or ambitions, we contend that
he is just the same kind Of repub
ican today that he was when the
Pioneer-Journal, St. Cloud Journal
Press, Walker Pilot and other news
papers were supporting him in the
primaries for the republican nomina-
tion for congressman against Con-
gressman Buckman-an excellent ofic-
al, a staunch republican and grand
old man. The Herald-Tribune went
down to defeat with Mr.. Buckman.
Mr.. Lindbergh was heralded as "the
man of the hour' bv the same news
papers and politicians who now op-
pose him. He was nominated as re-
publican.
If brother Verify would have the
congressman hail from Wadena, let
his candidate file and go before the
people. If Alvah Eastman wants to
be congressman let him file and get
busy, and if Farley Dare still wants
something (Walker posto6ice) that
Lindbergh could not give him, let
him go to the powers that be-or to
the legislature. It is the heighth of
ridiculousness to attempt to discredit
Congressman Lindbergh on the fimsy
protest already set forth. Such dope
will only tend to increase his majority
over tho man who is willing to be
sacrificed.

to the affair. The principal speaker
likely will be Senator Ollie James of
Kentucky AS Chairman O'Brien
paints it Democracy's proposed tea
party is going to be some get together
and it will have an important bearing
OIL the coming campaign. To tell you
plainly, the gathering will be replica
OF the OLD state convention. with duly
accredited delegates, a committee on
resolutions, the usual PRONUNCIATION
OF principles and the selection Of a
state ticket. OF course, the gathering
and whatever it may do in the matter
of endorsing candidates for places on
the state ticket will not have any
legal standing, still the leaders have
hopes that its findings will he ell
dorsed by the unwashed over the state
when primary day arrives.
!. :. !.
The thorough organization of the
state by the Democratic leaders, as
get it, is to be everything that the
word implies. Those in charge do
not intend to overlook township.
Precinct and county committeeman
will be named and every county will
be asked to organize as of old. Be-
cause of new tangled primary acts and
nonpartisan election laws Democracy
has been out in the cold ever since
Governor Eberhart assumed the reins
Of government and it's leaders are
restless in consequence. "Let the peo
rle rule,' is a Democratic slogan
something that is supposed to be fully
net in the primary law which was
amended SO as to include the state
Offices. Claiming to be the people the
Democratic leaders cannot see where
they come in and I would not be sur.
prised to see the party organization
come out flatfooted for either a com
plete repeal of the present primary
law and the substitution of a legaliZed
convention or a modification of the
law to the extent that what they call
clique control features would be
eliminated.
X :. !.
That Governor Eberhart, while ht
is in office, will ever stand for any
tampering with the present primary
laws is doubtful. The statewide pri
mary law was his own act and was i1
answer to a demand that was popula:
at the time. The presidential prefer
ence primary law received his ap
proval and so did the nonpartisar
election act. Some of these laws were
against the best judgment of his ad
visers, but he did not hesitate wher
they came to him for signature. The
