hear of them telling the people that
the independents are too blame for it.
That is mighty easy camoufage for
our socialist administration to hide
behind. They do lot Of talking and
get lot Of money for election propa-
ganda but they do not no any of those
things they should do to relieve the
wheat gambling situation. They are
just like the coyote. They sit around
and howl at the moon. The fact of
the matter is neither the independents
or the leaguers are to blame for the
wheat market conditions. 1t is rather
the national government who is re-
sponsible because it allows gambling
in wind wheat to exist, and in doing
this the farmers of the country are
filched out of millions of dollars every
day by the manipulation of the wheat
market.
So far as the national campaign is
concerned there is nothing to it in
North Dakota and we are not very
much interested. What is particu-
lar!y needed in this state is to see
that the right governor and state Of
ficials are elected and it is up to the
voter to vote for Mr.. O'Connor if
they want this orgy of waste and van
dalism stopped in North Dakota. There
is no limit to the waste of public
funds under this regime and the state
needs reimbursement along safe and
sane business lines. The socialist
leaders who are controlling the state,
are fighting tooth and toenail to him
der the public from knowing what is
going on in the public institutions of
this state, particularly the Bank Of
North Dakota and they refuse to have
this institution examined and the re-
suits made known. When the people
are refused the privilege of knowing
what shape the main financial institu-
ton of the state is in-the place where
all the funds of the towns, cities and
townships are supposed to be kept
and knowing that millions of dollars
are sent out of the state of these
funds without any legal right, it is
time to call halt. Vote yes on all
the initiated measures to be voted up
on in November and also vote for j.
F. T. O'Connor for governor, so that
we can start out the next year with
steady and sane state government. We
feel that Barnes county is going to re-
turn a good majority in favor of such
a program.
The farmers of this county and the
state should not need any calomel at
this time to clear their vision as to
what is going on in this state. All
the big insurance companies IN the
country are withdrawing their invest
ments from the state as a result OF
this bipartisan extravaganza under
socialist leadership. Bankers and
others have of necessity to tighten
up, not knowing where the credit of
the state is going to. A day or two
ago a citizen here had occasion to Dor
row some money-like all business
men do in the course of their business
life have to from time to time-in-
stead of getting the money at six or
seven per cent he now has to pay nine
and ten per cent, all because Of this
socialistic reign that we have here.
Farm labor has gotten to that point
where the farmer is unable to pay the
heavy demands made in the way of
pay all on account of this state gov
eminent which by it's propaganda So
cialist government that has set up an
autocratc l. w. w. standard. And
when is the end coming. All kinds
of extra tax has been imposed upon
the people to help sustain an army of
carpet baggers in office at fat salaries.
and may commissions and fat useless
jobs have been created to take care
of the faithful with socialist lean
ings. We have the gasoline tax, the in
come tax, the compensation tax and a
few other pet taxes for bleeding the
tax payer in addition to the increased
taxes along other lines. Do you want
this administration to continue In
power to bend your backs with useless
and unnecessary taxes. If you do
then vote for Frazier and Townley's
gang. If you want square deal and
a business administration vote the fus-
ion ticket and get start in the right
direction.
JUST TWO HONEST MEN
We are planning to list the
