the Legislature relied upon him more
than any other man in the legisla-

in him was not misplaced He never
deceived me and we were in hearty
accord in very administrative act. He
has a keen, analytical, logical mind
and his experience as member of
the Legislature and as farmer and
business man, together with his known
honesty and sincerity, will make him
an ideal executive. These are matters

Doyle Not EeactiOnary
Knowing Mr.. Doyle's record as I
do, it was a great surprise to me
TO read in the NOnpartisan papers be-
fore the primaries and since, that the
reactionares in the Democratic party
and republican party were supporting
Doyle. If this statement is true that
the reactionaries in the two old par
ties have selected Mr. Doyle as a
candidate. they will be badly fooltd
if they elect him believing. that he
will be reactionary governor.
THE farmers of North Dakota have
q grievance. but not against the dem
Ocratic party as a state organization
in North Dakota, nor against it's cam
didatestpr governor. The last legis-
lativeelssembly passed an appropria-
ton for the building of a terminal
elevator. and Governor Frazier vetoed
the bill. It might be we'll for the
farmers of the state to ask why it
was vetoed and l understand that the
reason was given that a terminal ele-
vator would be of no use without
packing houses. -four mills. etc.s but
it surely would have been a start, a
beginning. A half loaf is better
than no bread The world was not
made in 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 solution of the
farmers problems, they would no
longer need the Nonpartisan League
The same would be true if it proved
a failure. y .
Frazier's War Webbing
North Dakota is great agriculture
al state and the agricultural interests
should receive fair, treatment, but ev-
erything 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 pro-
secution of the war The Courier
News of Fargo, North Dakota, publish
ed speeches/of Mr.. Townley and Gov
errOr Frazier in which it is report
ed that Governor Frazier said: ut
requires no patriotism to buy a Lib.
erty Bond. Buying bonds is all right
but there is better way. Conscript
the rich mans money Mr.. Townley
spoke along the same line and as l
understand. this is the position of the
pacfist, the l. w. w. and the Socialist.
mention the Courier News because
it is a Nonpartisan paper and of
course would not misrepresent either
Mr.. Townley or Governor Frazier, II
the people had taken the same posi-
ton as these, we would be unable to
raise the money necessary to win the
war. Fortunately, however, the peo-
pie of this country and the people of
North Dakota, did not and do not
agree with either Mr.. Townley or Gov
ernor Frazier on the prosecution of
this war, and it is much safer to elect
men who have been with the admin
istration all the way along the line
II seems to me that the one question
that good citizen need ask himself
is, Is Mr.. Doyle qualified. Is he
honest and sincere and will be make
a good governor If he is elected"
