The complete victory of the Nom
partisan League in the North Da-
kota Republican primaries against
the biggest united opposition Big
Business could muster, constitutes
nothing less than the beginning of
real democracy in America.
The first effective political organi-
cation that has openly challenged
power of the industrial autocracy OF
America and has started out to unite
the two great branches of the COM
mon people-the farmers and city
workers-for the onset, has been
overwhelmingly Endorsed and return
ed to power in the first state to give
1t trial.
After two years under a Nonpar-
tisan League government, the people
of North Dakota are satisfied that
this is what they want and have
set their seal of approval on League
principles by a primary election ma
jority larger than the majority Lynn
Frazier got in the last primary
election.

Even Congressman Baer, who was
elected before in field of six, was
returned after defeating single

The lower house, the senate and
the state offices will be controlled
by League men for the next two
years and the League principle OF
state tollrol of marketing and the
bigger marketing facilities will have
a chance fol a fair trial.
Had Big Business been able to say
after this election that the League
had been repudiatea after fail

a serious setback in America.

trolled the daily press, the great
agencies of public opinion and the
usually dominating public influences
and used them most unscrupulously.
Although the League was kept Out
of large districts during the campaign
and thousands were inundated,
and the machinery of elections was
entirely in the hands of mob-in-
famed opposition in many towns,
the League got 151,525 votes count
ed in its favor.
The two significant features of
the election were: The Farmers stuck
and organized labor stood by the
Farmers. Thirty-one rural counties
with strong League organizations
were carried by the League. Labor
cast over $4,000 votes for the Lea
que and labor candidates. For ev-
cry League Farmer that voted for
League candidates one unorganized
Farmer voted with the League.
The bulk of organized labor lives
in the Twin Cities and in Duluth.
| The counties in which these cities
are located-Hemepn, Ramsey and
! st. Louis-cast 34,418 votes for Mr..
Lindbergh and nominated Is labor
candidates. At least 10000 of these
votes were labor votes. Such evil
dence of political cooperation between
the two great elements of produc-
ers is the most encouraging feature
of the election.
The biggest practical result Of ths
, election is the astounding Legislative
victories. One hundred and STA ISr
2 mer and labor candidates were plac'
ed on the ballot. Ninety-One OF
these were farmer candidates and Il
, labor candidates. Sixty-One farmer
: candidates were named for the lower
house and 80 farmer candidates fOl
the senate. Labor in st. Paul, Min

A Grand Jury is called by the Dis
trict Judge in Montana and the call
ing of the same is absolutely WITHIN
his judicial discretion. He is to call
one when to him it seems to be
serving the best interests OF the
county to do so.
The question of Grand Jury Is
usually brought officially before the
Judge by petition setting forth the
facts justifying the need of the body
and signed by responsible parties
So in order to call a Grand Jury it
would be best to get up petitions
send them to different parts OF the
county, where they could be signed
and returned to designated party
who could present them to his Honor

AS the smoke clears up from the
Minnesota political battlefield we be-
gin to comprehend what a really re-
markable victory the Nonpartlsan
League has won.
Official returns are IN and they
reveal the following big outstanding
facts:
The primary vote was 4O7,741.
This was twice as large as any pre-
vious primary vote. It was within
few thousand votes of the largest
vote ever cast in a final election.
Every possible person from every
possible party was marshalled to de-
feat the first serious attempt to wrest
Minnesota from the grasp of Big
Business.
OF this enormous vote 90 per cent,
or all but 32,649 votes cast for the
democratic candidates, were cast IN
the republican primaries. Only by
marshaling 100000 democratic votes
in the republican primaries were the
Big BUSINESS interests able to re-
tain their hold on the state, other
wise the Nonpartisan League would
have nominated the state candidates
by a majority of at least $4,000.
The votes cast in the democratic
primaries were ridiculously small. A
party that occasionally elects the
governor and state officers pollee

Rumblings ccme from the county

some of the prominent citizens of
