SLUSH FUND

1t is no longer mere surmise that Candidate
Doyle's Big Business hackers are raising a gig
antic slush fund in the effort to defeat the
state officials and legislation desired by a ma
jorlty OF the people OF this state: Attorney Cen
eral LANCER has uncovered the details of a plot
of political corruption which should bring a
blush of shame to the cheek of every decent cit
izen.
Mr.. Doyle's hackers do not deny their guilt.
With a brazen effrontery which shows how far
removed they are from the democratic and pro-
gressive purposes of the people of this state
they explain that this money is necessary to
defeat Socialism. The Socialism" which they
are trying to defeat consists OF such tlme-tested
and practical measures of democracy as state
owned flour mills and terminal elevators, state
hail insurance, the exemption of farm improve
ments from taxation, and insistance that great
CORPORATIONS pay their fair share of the burden
of government.
These Big Business explolters and war pro-
fiteers do not want a square deal. They want a
dishonest advantage and in the past history OF
North Dakota they have been able to procure
this advantage by purchasing the influence OF
professional politicians. Evidently these Big
Business oligarchs want a return to the days
when North Dakota legislation was framed on
the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce instead
of at Bismarck.
This attempt will fail. The great majority of
North Dakota's people are more than satisfied

ed that the old Big Business autocracy will not
be restored. The very fact these special privilege
interests are violating the law to raise a slush
fund in MIR. Doyle's behalf affords the best
reasons why the people should-and win-re-
pudiate his candidacy and all it stands for.
President Wilson's reappointment of Victor
Mudock to the federal trade commission is a
sufficient reply to the packers and the bitter,
hysterical attack of the United States Chamber
of Commerce. By continuing the present mem
bership in office the president indicates that
the work has been satisfactory and that in his
opinion the facts disclosed justify the report
made.
The president has a habit of standing back
of his subordinates as long as they deliver the
goods. That is what the federal trade COM
mission seems to have done.-Devils Lake
Journal.
A perfectly good Nonpartisan avs in the city

formed us that Herr Doyle would run Strong
in Carbury but in the neighboring country his
votes would be few and far between.
A vote for Superintendent N. G. Macdonald

A GRAVE OVERSIGHT.

A story has been published that the bank of
Canway, Walsh county, was robbed of $4,000
recently. We have scanned the r~eactionary
press closely and have thus far failed to find in
any OF them a direct charge that Governor Fra
zler, A. G. Townley or any of the league organ
lzers or speakers are suspected.
This is the first crime committed in the north
west for a long period that has not been charged
by some of these papers, to some one connected
with, or in sympathy with the Nonpartisan
league.
We have not as yet read recent issues of the
st. Paul Dispatch, having misplaced the gauze
mask which is used as a precaution against con-
tamination.
It is to be sincerely hoped that none of the
professional mud-slingers lose their jobs as a
result of having fallen asleep at the switch

U. S. Marshal Appealed to
for Protection Of
Pro- Ger1nan.e

Thief River Falls. Mimi, April IL.
United States Marshal Joseph
Vessel Of st. Paul, was appealed to
late today for deputies to take in
charge Job Schmoster, of this city. by
Geo. G. johnson, chairman Of the
Pennington county Third Liberty
Loan committee, and w. B. Fuller,
district chairman and captain of the
home guards. both Of whom feared
it became generally known that he
wished Germany to win the war.
Schmoster made this statement, first
to the ward committee, which So
licited him, and later to the general
committee, in which were both Of the
gentlemen named above, and another
ward committeeman, q German, and
who talked to Schmoster in German,
and told him to be careful as to his
statement, fearing that something
rash might be done him. Even after
listening to all things in both English
and German the man refused to
change his views and said he would
neither buy a bond nor War Savings
stamps.
Schmoster formerly was employed
in the saw mill here and then was in
the habit of retaining his pay checks
all year in his stockings, giving as his
reason that he would not trust the
banks. He owns the house and lot,
where he lives, and when the COM
nlittee offered to buy 1t this morning,
he refused to sell at the price he held
it worth. Schmoster is a bachelor
