PEOPLE OF STATE ANXIOUS TO
STUDY CAMPAIGN IN ALL IT'S

DATE EVERYWHERE.
Fargo, N. D., Oct. -"The people
of North Dakota, we believe, are anx-
ious to have an opportunity in this
campaign Of studying the real issues;
that is the basis on which the cam
paign for the election Of s j. Doyle
to the governorship is being conduct
ed on. and we are confident that it is
the line Of action that will bring sue
cess to us on the 5th ady Of Novem-
her" #
So said W. E. Byerly; chairman Of
the joint campaign committee in
.charg of the campaign for the el-
,ection of Mr.. Doyle today.
'rThere have been attempts and
there will continue to be attempts to
swing the discussion from the issues
to personalities, but I am confident that
the old Socialist trick Of abuse and at
tempt at creating class hatred as the
basis for voting will fail, simply be-
cause our people are thoroughly
awakened to the real issues, and are
determined to judge the candldates
upon those issues. !. ,.a -
1--WE are going ebfore the people
on the issues the Socialists themselves
have created; we are confident OF the
vridct when our people are thorough
1y informed as to the aims OF tne so
c1alists, and OF what Socialism means
to each individual within the state.
"The splendid attendance that IS be-
ing accorded Mr.. Doyle in his tour IS
the most patent indication OF the man
ner in which his attitude toward IS
sues is being received. He is being
greeted by larger and larger crowds >
wherever he goes, and the attempt OF
the Socialists to keep members OF the
Nonpartisan league from attending
his meetings has failed. 4. .,s So,
1T would be sad conmentary up
on the citizenship Of our state i. at
this time, we let ourselves be govern
ed by passion in the selection OF Off
GERS and in passing ON such momen-
tous questions as are involved IN the
approaching election. That is what
the Socialists are relying upon, ana
chat ACCOUNTS Tor some OF the metnoos
they have employed.
IAN indication OF the KIND OF cam
paign that is being made against Mr..
Doyle is found in the attempt to show
that the Washington administration
is backing them. For instance, there
is the case of George Creel, who has
written letter showing that al ef-
forts Of the Nonpartisan league lead
ers to use his name in their behalf Is
without authority, and that he has
not, in any sense Of the word, en-
dorsed them.
1--WE have also the action Of Secre-
tary Of War, N. D. Baker, who brands
as q Misrepresentation words used by
the Socialists in an effort to clear
their own skirts. ..5...
In view Of these facts, and In view
OF many other incidents in connection
with this campaign, every voter owes
1t to himself to study the issues: to m
form himself Of what really is lnvolv-
ed in the selection OF the man who 1s
to occupy the chair of Governor OF
North Dakota during the next Two
years.
MIR. Doyle is presenting the issues
In clear, concise manner; our COM
mittee is doing the best it can IN
bringing before the people OF tne
Issues; it is up to each and every man
In the state to study these issues care
fully, and cast his ballot 'accordlng 70
his best judgment.
The old cry OF this belng contess
between the city and the country is
false upon the face OF 1t. Inc Non
