Three minutes of exciting trading I
feed to close up outstanding deals IN

fluctuations continued to be recorded
on the blackboards. but the volume OF

commodities than wheat all scored
sains-corn 6 Ia to 8 5-8c; oats Id
to 2 lac, and provisions 10 to 4b.
Washington reports referring to q
possible shutdown Of all boards OF
trade were current at about the time

as the representative Of this state.
Remember that Gov. Frazier had a

campaign. Under these, Circumstance

that a competent and capable COVER

without any investigation, that such q
statement was false and could not

Dear sir-Governor Frazier directs
me to write you that the statement
you mention was taken from a speech
given by Chas. Edward Russell before
an educational gathering in the east.
Respectfully yours,
IN. s. Mason,
Secretary to the Governor.
I was DIsGUsTED. So our cover
nor's authority was not Sen. McCum-
Der. but was Chas. Edward Russell,
the socialist author Of the book, "Why
I am a Socialist" (Do all Of Chas.
Edward Russell's statements have as
little foundation in fact as this one
had?)
The governor of our state in'what 10
supposed to be a scholarly. we'll pre-
pared address given before a New
York audience makes a statement.
with regard to certain alleged enor-
nous thefts from the producers of
OUR STATE. and gives as his author
ny Tor this statement, the senator of
OUR STATE. AS a matter of fact his
authority is the word Of an EAsTERN
SOCIALIST given before q gathering
of EASTERN teachers.
Can U governor think for him
self? Must he, eve when he refers
to the products of his own state. be
told by an EASTERN SOCIALIST as
to what he shall think, say and do?
Are the people Of North Dakota
competent to think with regard to
Gov. Frazier? I, for one, firmly be-
lieve that the people Of North Dakota
are able, competent and willing to
