The Absent Voters Law

Do you believe it would be a wise thing fol- 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 precinct they may
choose, by means of the Absent Voters ballot? !
Do you believe that the women of our state
should be put in such a position that they will have
TO mark their ballots in, the presence Of a political
agent, whether he is a member of the Nonpartisarn
League, the |. Y. A. or any other organization that {
is especially interested in our political situation? i !
II is well enough to propose to make it easier
for the women to vote, but if that were the whole
motive, why not leave the law in such shape as tos
protect the secrecy of the ballot, which was guar
anteed to every citizen that has come into our
state? Tell your neighbors about this law and ~
them to vote NO on it.

The State Sheriff. Law

Why should the voters of North Dakota create
another law-enforcing office with an appropriation
of $4,000, and with a loop-hole for an unlimited
possible expense?
We have sconstables and justices of the peace
in every township and in every village, police
magistrates and a police force in every city, a
states attorney, sheriff and deputy sheritfs in
every county, state and county grand juries, courts
of all kinds, all attorney generals office, a licensing
and inspection department, and a National Guard,
all of it operating at the expense of the taxpayers
for the purpose of maintaining 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 a law adding a
state sheriff and a state constabulary to all the rest
of the machinery which we now have? Do you as
a citizen of North Dakota believe that it is wise to
authorize the governor to apoint a state sheriff,
who shall have authority to order all county
sherifs, 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 3Oth. that is what
will happen in North Dakota. Talk to your neigh
bors about this law. Hand them literature. Get
them along with you. to meetings where they may
hear this law discussed. Ask them to vote "No"
on this law on primary election day.
