ocratic candidate for governor, speak
ing here last evening. "If majority
of the voters believe that it is proper
and right to remove from the public
money OF this state all safeguards
which now surround it, they should
vote for Governor Frazier, but | can
not believe that majority Of the citi-
zents OF North Dakota, who have spent
the best years of their lives in secur-
ing a home for themselves and their
families, will jeopardize titles to their
property by voting for any, advocates
OF the kind of legislation proposed by
the opposition in House Bill "A.
Our POLITICAL opponents may attempt
to argue that some of the provisions
of House Bill A are not before the

in issue. Neither we're they before
the people two years ago, yet they at
tempted to pass them through the leg

senate, not a man in the state OF
North Dakota knows what their pro.
gram will be, but it is fair to presume
that the measures they attempted to
pass in House Bill a., will c9ntiANe to
be their program II they have the pow
er to put them through"
Mr.. Doyle made this declaration at
the conclusion of an analysis OF
House Bill A doctrines, such as the
single tax, the removal of morality
and patriotism as fundamentals in
public school instruction, and various
of its other features.
These statements of mine will be
answered. But if the past is any crit
erion for the future it will not be by
argument, but by trade of personal
abuse and slander, and by the state
ment of the opposite press that the
question before the people is the
measure Of democracy which is to be
enjoyed. Any one can use the phrase.
the measure of democracy. Lenine
and Trotzky used it countless times
in statoing to the people of Russia
that they were to enjoy full meas
use of democracy This is merely a
vague platitude and means nothing.
"All available authorities on the sit

that probably a great many thousands
of poor people of Russia will starve

"Now, I wish to call your attention
to another perculiarity of these expo

one adversely criticises them, for any

II am sure it must strike even the
most ardent Nonparisan league mem
Der as little peculiar that this coterle
of socialist lawyers. socialist lecturers
and soap box orators should suddenly
develop such an overwhelming inter-

kota. It is the claim Of these men
that those opposing them in this state
are representatives of what they are
pleased to term big business" and
that the opposition is directed by sim
lister influences outside the state OF
North Dakota. No doubt great many
of the members of the Nonpartisan
league honestly believe this is a fact.
Perhaps some Of the members present
believe this is true. But if you will
just study the situation yourself for
few minutes there is no possibility OF
believing that this assertion is true"
Sentiment Reversed in TWO Years

North Dakota and consequently had

proof that this prejudice against their
