PEOPLE VOTE FOR
new Legislation
NO. DAKOTA CONSTITUTIONAL
CHANGES ACCEPTED BY
BIG MAJORITY
BITTER CAMPAIGN TO DEFEAT
AMENDMENTS ENDS IN
VICTORY

North Dakota has voted in favor of
the constitutional changes proposed and
passed by the last Nonpartisan legis-
lature Of the state. First reports to the
Twin City papers made it appear that
the amendments had been defeated at
the polls. but even before the country
vote began to come ia, the failure of the
attempt to set aside the farmer 1egisla-
ton. became apparent. In practically
all the cities and towns the vote showed
gains over what the necessary amend
ments to the constitution received last
fall. Labor had been welded more
firmly in the alliance with the farmers
and the issue had become clear.
The city vote also indicated some
wavering in the ranks Of town business
men to whom the anti-farmer interests
have successfully appealed hitherto.
With one strong League county missing
and 100 precincts in other parts not
counted the vote stands as follows:
For the League laws SO, 40
Against the League laws 50,236 3
These figures indicate a final majority
in the whole state Of between Il, 900 and
$4,000.
Big Vote Cain, 3
The vote on the amendments last
November averaged $3.50 for to so, 574
against, with an average majority Of. a.
little over Il, 900. The vote in the
election Just over favorable to the League
laws and indicating the League strength
will be very close to 10000. sst
No better evidence could be had to
show that the common people Of North.
Dakota are thoroughly back Of the new
legislation, and this yindication Of the
work Of their legislators will strengthen
the movement for fundamental reform
through out the nation as well as make
the measures stronger at home.
A Bitter Campo u
The campaign was marked by the
lavish expenditure Of funds to defeat
the will Of the people. Prior to the
election unquestionable reports from
different sources showed funds running
into the millions collected in all parts
Eof the country to defeat the farmers
program here. Seven representatives
of the big insurance interests sub scribed
s., 000,000 at meeting in Detroit for.
the purpose. z..s5 .lss
The opposition was also able to reach
three Of the state officers elected by the
farmers and during the legisla alive session
reached four Of the 116 farmer legislators.
But the people were too serious about
their desire for relief from bad scondi-
lions to be led astray either through q
vicious campaign 81 money or the horse
play Of personal ambition acted out by
the turncoat officials.
The carrying out Of the new legisla
tion will be nplished with the utmost
businesslike dispatch.
Laws Voted On.
The seven measures approved by
such splendid majorities by the people
Of North Dakota are the followiin
