Leaders OF the Nonpartisan

at the recent Fargo convention
that their strength was much

He IBID HIS BlT9.


Those who heard c. H. Kramer OF
Dlckey county give his talk on
azaiserism at jamestown, two weeks
ago, viii realize what loss his
death win be to the state.
This sturdy son of the F'atherland
openly denounced Prussianism in all
ats forms. He did not mince words
in urging his fellow countrymen to
show their gratitude and devotion to
their adopted country. He had
served in the German army and
knew the German system from the
inside. lie left no doubts as to what
he thought Of it.
Mr.. Kramer set an example for his
countrymen in North Dakota to fol-
low and his work win live after him.
Ale did as much as any one man has
done to remove the stigma OF dis
loyalty from the German born citi-
gems Of the state.

Or. e. F. I.add is reported as say
ing that bread cards for consumers

Nbnd is glad to repeat it.
Loyal citizens are still couple Of
Jumps ahead Of the regulations Of
THE food administrator. They are
doing a little more than he is ask
ing them to, all tho time. The bread
Icards won't be noticed by them. The
lCards will hit only the unloyal and
the disloyal, the careless and the
deliberately selfish.
Bread cards wouldn't make any
Imore stir than the process of moving
the clocks ahead made. They would
be accepted without a murmur.

cards are needed hen find us ready
and waiting for them. The only
question asked will be: whats the

ers in an attempt to get them to
run for office.
Does the league figure that
they are going to pick up this
increased vote in the west from
the German American vote?
Then the German American
should be particularly careful.
We notice that several Of the
men who we're asked by the
league to become candidates
have had the good judgment to
keep out Of any political fight.
The loyalty of the leaders of
the league has been questioned
in many quarters. Can the loyal
German-American afford to let
his precinct so in for the can
didates of leaders who have had
their loyalty Questioned? This is
something for the German
American citizen to think about
and think abotit seriously. Can
the German American afford to
have the same charge made
against him after the election is
over as was made against some
OF the strong German American
communities In Wisconsin after
