appeal for sympathy by referring to the

was not a new one. 1t had been freely dis

at the polls that they were heartily in favor
Of it, Mr.. Stair made speech on the floor
of the house in favor Of such BILL There
was apparently no opposition to 1t, either
in the senate or house. But Governor Frazier
vetoed it. After the legislature adjourned

has to be told that the war is building the
foundation Of his labor temple. IF that
foundation is not built, there can be no
temple If victory does not insure the
retention Of the freedom now possessed,
there can be no hope of lettering those
conditions in the future. Neither the
farmer, nor the laboring man, nor any
body else in America has any hope Of bet
ter things if the Allies lose the war.
The men who have gone abroad have
nothing to fear from those who are now
at the head of the American labor move
ment. On the contrary organized labor
has taken the same stand that every hon
est American has taken, "no profteering
during the war" The danger lies in those
less responsible organizations like the I.

THE BRINTON CASE.

The Brinton case is becoming as maIod-
orous as the Horst and Randall incidents.
j. w. Brinton was scheduled to speak
at Beach, together with Congressman Baer
and the Socialist, Mills. The citizens Of
Beach protested bitterly against his ap-
pearance. A THE last minute he was with
drawn but spoke at Bowman and Cover
nor Frazier ordered the county attorney
and sheriff to protect him.
Mr.. Brinton needs no protection from
physical violence in North Dakota, and
Governor Frazier insults the law-abiding
citizens Of the state by presuming that he
does.
But evidently the governor feared to
force the issue at Beach because of it's po-
htical effect, yet he refuses to sever his
iConnections entirely with Mr.. Brinton, and
the man who is under indictment for dis
@loyalty is addressing league meetings in
/ North Dakota at the very instant that
American troops are engaged in the great
battle in France
\ There is just one answer to make to
Governor Frazier's insistence on retaining
Mr.. Brinton as a speaker, and to his or
ders to protect him, which are issued on
the assumption that laW-abiding citizens
are planning violence. That answer can
be registered at the primary election, and
this one stand Of Governor Frazier alone
should be sufficient to bury him under an
avalanche of votes so deep that even Mr..
Townley will be unable to dig him out of
political obscurity.

MUST PREPARE FOR FINAL DRIVE.

North Dakota must prepare for des-
perate last minute drive on the part Of the
Nonpartisan league leaders, to sweep back
the rising tide of anti-Socialist sentiment
that gives every promise now Of admins
tering singing defeat to Townleyism
right in the state where it had it's incep
lion.
From all parts Of the state come re-
ports of the growing enthusiasm and con-
1idence Of the Steen supporters, and the
prospects for the success Of the Mlnot
ticket look rosy indeed.
But the Minnesota battle will be over
one week before the North Dakota strug-
gle takes place, and the state will be food
ed with league organizers for that week.
In Minnesota the league is reported to
have had 800 organizers and canvassers
working for G. A. Lindbergh, and it is es-
timated that more than 100000 already
has been sGpent and that the total primary
expense account will be close to $500, 900.
These organizers will be turned loose in
North Dakota the instant the campaign
in Minnesota is ended. They will have
one full week to devote to the final drive
here.
The vanguard Of league speakers al
ready is here. Congressman Baer is draw
ing pictures, and Thomas Mills, the So
cialist, and Leo Horst, and J. ". Brinton
and Governor Frazier are stumping the
state now. The campaign will grow moro
and more intense during the coming week,
and after June IT, when the Minnesota
primaries are held, the league may be ex-
pected to make its last desperate effort to
stampede the voterse into mounting tbs
Townley band wagon again.
The supporters Of the Minot ticket are
working with most inadequate funds.
These are raised solely by voluntary con-
tributions, and there is no vast propaganda
fund to be drawn upon, but the voluntary
workers must make up in enthusiasm
what they lack in organization and money,
for the next two weeks may decide the
political and economic fate of North Da-
kota for the next two years.

The foregoing was but one striking SEN
tence from the report of President Samuel
Gompers and the Executive Council to the
American Federation Of Labor convention,
which opened today in st. Paul.
The report, which is published in anoth-
er column Of The Forum this evening, is a
complete and decisive Endorsement of the
labor program of the federal labor COM
mission, which is working to avert strikes
IT. wartime.
The federal commission takes the stand
chat no strikes should be inaugurated to
enforce the closed shop where it does not
now exist, and no Iockouts will be toler-
ated to enforce the open shop where it
does not now exist. Questions of wages
and hours Of labor are subjects for arbitra-
tion.
III IS the only possible program fair to
both labor and capital, which contains any
promise of ayerting strikes ia war time,

pose of going at least half way.
