mended by all right-thinking citi-
zens for his refusal to hold the refer
endum and initiative elections ON the
same date. There is not the slightest
doubt that the Independent Voters
association initiated the terminal
elevator, the home building and the
rural credit bills for the sole pur-
pose Of confusing the voters. These
bills were so greatly similar to three
of the laws which have been
referred that even the most intilii-
gent students of pubic affairs would
have had difficulty in telling them
apart. Only the titles of the bills
would have appeared on the official
ballot and thousands of citizens
would have been unable to distin-
guish between the genuine terminal
elevator, home building and Bank
of North Dakota laws passed by
the legislature and the fake meas
ures initiated by the 1. V. A.
The Minneapolis Chamber of
Commerce crowd initiated these
bills with the intention of profiting
by the confusion. They expected
that thousands of citizens would
vote for the wrong bills. They ex-
pected that many others in their
doubt might not vote at all on the
conflicting bills. The 1. V. A. bills
were initiated with the deliberate
plan of obscuring the issue and de-
ceiving the public.
Governor Frazier has foi)ed that
plot. Now the referred laws will
be voted for separately and upon
their merits. Each citizen will
have a fair opportunity to vote
either for or against these measures
without being confused by SINH.
larity in title.
This insures an honest election
The vote will be a fair test as te
whether or not the people approve
these laws. Even the 1. V. A.
cannot object to this-that is, #
they believe in majority rule.
The sort of an election which the
l. V. A. planned would have beer
travesty. Governor Frazier die
right in exposing and frustratint
this contemplate conspiracy tt
thwart the will Of the people
Those who believe in majority rul,
and the sanctity Of the ballot will
applaud his action regardless o
their political affiliations.
