Opposition Wants to Know Il

"There must be something

way the opposition voiced it's
sentiments this afternoon
when the house by the usual
league majority killed the bill
providing for the inspection
Of the Bank Of North Dako-
ia under the direction Of the
state banking board. The
anti-leaguers were anxious to
know if the affairs Of the
state owned bank were SO
badly conducted that the
bank officials feared an i'm

The New Broom

The easiest way to discount the
obvious effects of women at the
polls is to talk condesccndinglS OF a
new broom aud its temporary eff
cheney. Give them time to realize the
futility Of voting, and they'll be as
bored and indifferent as men. So
runs the male cyric's philosophy.
All of which loses ight of the inn
portant fact that the broom IN cues
ton is not only new but is actu-
ally the first broom ever eXpertly APP
piled to political affairs. 4 broom
is essentially feminine weapon 1t
raises chiefly dust when operated by
male hands. For the first time now
polls and politics are receiving
the same thoroughgong treatment
given every well-kept house twice a
year. IN every community where
women voted We have just witnessed
something very accurately resem-
bling a fall cleaning with the Ger
tam prospect of q spring cleaning
and countless other cIcanings to
come thereafter.
We don't mean that everything po-
litical done BY women has been SEN
siblc and effective. To large cX-
tent their activities have been en-
perimental-necessarily SO But look
around any community, and YOU wil
find new interest and new point
Of view. Candidates are being asked
for better references. There is more
daylight and fresh air touching every
preliminary operation Of selection
and primary and nomination. Even
husbands have been dragged to
strange gatherings known as conven-
tons, the existence Of which was fer
reted out by women intent upon
essentials rather chan red FIRE and

Governor Coolidge is the best in
tcrpreter Of the result and the best

The triumph was one OF wage
