The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1918-10-09

The Hannah Moon announces its support Of S.
J. Doyle follows:
The Moon always was and now is a Repub-
Hcan paper. But since Townley stole the
Republican column on the ballot on which to
elect men to further his Socialistic policy. we
are not supporting the so-called Republican
party. We stand four square for S. j. Doyle
for governor, Fred Bartholomew for congress-
DIR. Porter, John Reid, Joe McGauvran and c.
B. Hammond for the legislature. These are
all Democrats. Doyle is known to the editor
for years. He is broad-minded, a good de-
batter, and back in 1911 had the reputa-
ton for doing his own thinking. For this
reason alone he will make better governor
than the incumbent. Yes, the Moon has gone
Democrat for this campaign.
The wahpeton Globe Gazette publishes the
following editorial from a soldier"
This editorial written by Harley
Swanson, United States soldier serving
in France When he sat down to write a
letter to his mother he did not know that he
was writing an editorial, and it is not
couched exactly in editorial language; but
the message is straight from the heart
without the camouflage of grammar and po-
lite language which is generally employed
by newspapers. Harley is a Paramount, N.
D. lad. The following is the last paragraph
of his recent letter to his mother:
so Frazier won out in the primaries, we'll
hope to God he don't win out in the general
election, and so do nearly all the soldiers
from North Dakota That Nonpartisan
League is absolutely no good and should be
wiped off the face of the earth, and the
sooner the better, for it seems the league
has more power where the German settle
ments are than where there are no Germans
so it seems that Townley worked among the
Germans as much as possible, and take it
from me, there don't want to be any
German settlements when the boys come
back from over here. That's all"
The Cakes Times urges the election of Mar
shall Doyle in the following editorial: s...a
The Republican party organization in this
state having been drugged, looted and car
red off bodily by the Socialists, acting under
the name of the Nonpartisan League the
best thing for men to do who believe in the
National Republican party, is to support en-
Enthusiastically the candidacy of S. ]. Doyle
for governor.
Nr Doyle is the present United States
marshal for North Dakota. He has just
been reappointed by President Wilson and
is one of the men Of North Dakota on whom
the president can lean either in time OF war
or in time of peace.
There is no question as to the loyalty and
patriotism of Marshal Doyle
There is considerable question as to the
loyalty and patriotism Of members of the
Socialist party Their last national plat
form lis decidedly against the support of the
war, and just now Eugene ". Debs many
times their candidate for president, has late-
~ reiterated his stand on war issues and
is now under Indictment for sedition
The men who are now running the Repub-
ioan party in North Dakota Of the Debs
tpye-only ayowedly supporting the Presi-
dent now because they dare not do any
thing else.
Their platform for state ownership If put
into effect viii plunge North Dakota into
millions of dollars worth of debt. Our credit
will be impaired as it is being impaired.
already 1t will be unsafe to conduct any
line of business, for we know not what fool,
rank legislation will como when Socialists
are given full power.
The election Of Marshal Doyle will prevent
injurious legislation and we know the state
would be safe In his hands.
We say earnestly: elect Marshal Doyle
from non partisan standpoint. He is I'M
line ,Vash President Wilson ON ali questions
and is q man ia every way To be trusted.
