Which Flag?
Do you believe that we in North Dakota
should permit the anarchists who shot our SOL
der boys on Armistice Day to parade thru the
streets of our cities carrying the red flag, in
front Of their procession? Do you believe that
We should tolerate in our midst anywhere, the
emblem of an organization which puts in its
official song-book such sacrilege as this:
"Onward Christian soldiers! Duty's way 10 plain:
Slay your Christian neighbors, by them be slain.
Pulpiteers spoutng ehervescent swi,
God above 10 calling you to rob and rape and kill,
An your acts sanctioned BY the Lamb on high;
Il you love the Holy Ghost, 90 murder pray and die. "
And such melting to revolution as this:
Come on. You fellows get IN line; Wen Ill the boss
with fears;
Reds color Of Dag, its stained with blood and
Well hout It In his ugly mug and ring our loudest cheers

The State Sheriff Law

Why should the voters of North Dakota Gre
ate another enforcing office with an appro-
priation of $4,000, and with loop-hole for an
unlimited possible expense?
We have constables and justices of the peace
In every township and in every village, police
magistrates and police force in every city, q
states attorney, sheriff and deputy sheriffs in
every county, state and county grand juries,
courts of all kinds, an attorney generals office,
. licensing and inspection department, and a
National Guard, all of it operating at the ex-
pense of the taxpayers for the purpose of main
tanning law and order.
We have had no serious riots or outbreaks,
and there is no reason to believe that we will
have any in the near future, so why have q law
adding state sheriff and state constabulary
to all the rest of the machinery which we now
have? Do you as citizen Of North Dakota be-
leve that it is wise to authorize the governor to
appoint state sheriff, who shall have authority
to order all county sherits, deputy sheriffs, and
other peace officers, to do anything he wants
them to do, and to remove them from office if
they fail to do it? If the State Sheriff law is
approved on June 30th, that is what will happen
in North Dakota. Talk to your neighbors about
this law Hand them literature. Get them
along with you to meetings where they may hear
this law discussed. Ask them to vote mo" on
this law on primary election day.

private letter fles, check books, and the records
of your lodges, your churches and your school
board in order to get material for political black
mail? If you do not, then you must vote against
the Smelling Committee law, because that law
makes it possible for committee of five men,
all of them members of the same political faction
or party, to use $4,000 of taxpayers money for
political purposes.
This committee, or even its chairman alone,
can cause private Investigations to be made for
private political purposes and, under the pre-
tense of making investigations, political hench-
men Of the Nonpartisan League can be kept at
work in every county in the state for the benefit
of the League tickets at the expense of all tax
payers, League or not League.
It may be true of few members of the Nom
partisan League as it is of most of the leaders
in it, that they would want such law in opera
ton for the purpose of gaining political advan-
tage over those that are opposed to them, but
certainly majority of the league members are
too honorable to want to use either the money,
records or offices of the state government as
means of profit for themselves or for the pur-
pose of promoting their personal political be-
liefs, or getting their personal friends into pub
|lic office. It is well to remember that any law
that works unfairly in favor of the League and
against those opposed to it, will work just az
unfairly against the League and in favor Of
those who oppose it.
No political gang of any kind will ever get
chance to use this law if the people vote it down
now.
Talk to your neighbors about how needless,
expensive and dangerous this law is, and get
them to agree with you that they are going to
vote it down.

Do you believe it would be wise thing for
the voters of North Dakota to so amend the
Absent Voters law as to make it possible for
people who are not electors to vote in any pre-
cinct they may choose, by means of the Absent
Voters ballot?
Do you believe that the women of our state
should be put in such position that they will
have to mark their ballots in the presence Of a
political agent whether he is member Of the
Nonpartisan League, the I. V. A. or any other
organization that is especially interested in our
political situation?
It is we'll enough to propose to make it easier
for the women to vote, but if that were tn
whole motive why not leave the law in such
shape as to protect the secrecy of the ballot,
which was guaranteed to every citizen that has
come into our state? Tell your neighbors about
this law and ask them to vote mo" on it.
