THE CRY OF THE ALARMlST

On account of the rapid rise in
prices of all food products, a great
deal Of which just now would benefit
the American farmer, who has his
crops to sell, a movement is being
started to head off the expectation of
food products and keep the prices
down. The European war looked to
be the only game that would enable
the farmers to make any money on
this years crop after the jolt given
them by the free trade grain meas
ures, and now it appears that leaders
of the administration are going to try
and head off by preventing the free
expectation of our farm produce to a
market that would be profitable. e
Cavalier County Republican.
Now is the time for the republicans
to prove whether they are really the
friends of the producers of this coun-
try or not. Our products are not
bringing any place near the price
which they should bring because we
have no vessels to carry them to for
eign countries. Food famine is i'm.
minent in England and other of the
European countries and still they, are
so busy in carrying on war that they
are not looking after the very import
ant matter of how to feed their people
and their armies. We ourselves I'M
able to meet the situation because we
have no merchant marine. We have
abundance of grains and wares which
we could supply to people who want
them but from lack of carrying vessels
they of foreign countries have to go
hungry while we suffer from low
prices and ar inability to dispose of
our goods. President Wilson saw at
once that if this country was to con-
tinue it's course of prosperity and
plenty reign there must be a mer-
chant marine and he began at once to
formulate plans for the carrying of
wheat to the points where it would
bring remunerative prices. He pro-
posed that an act should be passed
permitting registry of foreign built
vessels and that they be purchased
Immediately and at the temporary
expenditure of public money in the
sum of thirty or forty million dollars
or such amount as would be sufficient
! to purchase vessels required. If his
plan to relieve the condition and par
ticularly to aid the farmers to dispose
Of their products miscarries it will be
through tactics Of obstruction and de-
lay on the part of republicans in con-
gress. Immediate action is the only
thing which will relieve the situation
in time. Will the republican leaders
prove themselves equal to the emer-
gency and stand by the greatest inter
ests Of the countryside farming
interests? If they do u own vessels
will be carrying our products to for
eign countries within a month at
prices very much in advance of those
prevailing at the present time. The
time has come when wheat cannot be
produced at a dollar a bushel, with
profit and a dollar and a half is
price which should prevail and be q
fair one as between consumer anc
producer. This is what President
Wilson is trying to do and what he
will succeed in doing, for the general
cry of remonstrance which will 90 uI
from the people will brighten the
opposition into acquiescing. Wilson
and 81. SO wheat should be our slogan.

If all of this war talk that fills the
daily papers nowadays would only
quiet down some perhaps matters of
interest along the line of state and
local politics would get an even break
in gaining the attention of the reader.

WHICH ARE YOU FOR?

When you cast your ballot on Mon
day, November Bird, are you going to
vote for North Dakota or for l.. B.
Hanna? Which? Are you a citizen
of the State of North Dakota or do
you live in Mr.. Hanna's state?
Which? If you are going to vote for
Mr.. Hanna's state you will probably
be interested then in reading what he
has done for it. Notice if you please
all that he has done has been for Mr..
Hanna's state and not for the State
of North Dakota. The appended sum-
mary of Gov. Hanna's short comings
is not ours, but comprises a list pre-
pared for the campaign by the pro-
gressive republican headquarters:
Quite a record for Gov. Hanna to
make for his state is it not? Along
side we furnish our readers with a
parallel column which outlines how
there is a way to vote for North Da-
kota and the best interests of the
people of the whole state and that is
to vote to make Hon. Frank O. He'll
strom your governor at the approach
ing election in November. Give the
two following parallel columns an i'm
partial careful reading and remember
the statements made are absolutely
dependable statements of fact.

One good way to judge a mar is by
the work that he has done in the past.
During the six years that Mr.. He'll
strom was warden of our state peni-
tertiary he saved the farmers of this
state over four million dollars in
cheaper Irvine; he saved the state
$40, $50. 90 by abolishing switching
charges; he paid the bills of his pre-
decessor, amounting to $3.50, 600. 90
and left a cash balance in the state
treasury of SIG, 600. 90. Above are
shown the facts of what has been the
result since he left the institution.
Considering that the prison price
regulates the price of all Irvine sold
in the state by the trust and other
companies the result is that the farm
ers Of North Dakota pay over one
cent per pound more for about $50, 900
pounds of Irvine, which makes a grand
total Of S25, 900 that the farmers Of
this state pay for their supply. In
spite of the higher price charged the
profit which the Irvine plant used to
make has been wiped out entirely,
every CEN that Mr.. Hellstrom saved

are e few of the reasons why we ask
you, Are you going to vote for Hanna
or Hellstrom for governor this fall?

other association of business men the

America wants, how it wants it, when it
wants it, how it wants it sent and how

tour will end finally with a monster meet

the goods required by South America.
