tiOnaries in the Democratic party and
Republican party were supporting

the reactiOnaries in the two old parties
have selected Mr.. Doyle as candidate.
they will be badly fooled if they elect
him believing that he will be reaction
airy governor.
The farmers of North Dakota have
grievance, but not against the
Democratic party as state Organi-
zation in North Dakota, nor against
its candidate for governor. The last
legislative assembly passed an Gp-
preparation for the building of u
terminal elevator and Governor Fra
zier vetoed the bill. 1t might be well
for the farmers of the state to ask why
it was vetoed and l understand that
reason was given that terminal ele-
packing houses, -four mills. etc. but
surely it would have been a start, a
beginning.
A half loaf is better than no bread.
The world was not made in a day. The
farmer might also ask if the reasons
given for vetOing the bill were the real
reasons or if there are others. OF
course if the elevator proved a sOlu-
ton of the farmers problem, they
would no longer need the Nonpartisan
league. The same would be true if it
proved failure.
North Dakota is a great agricultural
state and the agricultural interests
should receive fair treatment, but
everything is now subordinated to the
winning of the war in which we are
engaged and in the election of men
who will uphold the administration in
| the prosecution Of the war. Then again,
/ according to the Nonpartisan papers.
when we became involved in the war,
Governor Frazier did not support the
administration in the prosecution Of the
war. The COurier-News of Fargo, N.
D.. published speeches of Mr.. Townley
and Governor Frazier in which it is re-
ported that Governor SraZier said: II
requires no patriotism to buy Liberty
bond. Buying bonds are all right, but
there is a better way. Conscript the
