B0LSHEVISM, ANARCHY,
SOCIALISM and FREE LOVE

Just now the press of North Dakota
kept by the railroads and the grain
combine is engaged in a stupendous
task.
Relying on the loyalty of the Amer
ican Legion and allied bodies and
working thru all patriotic organiza-
tions the railroad press is engaged in
mighty effort to stampede patriotic
sentiments away from Governor L. J.
Frazier and to Governor would be
Wilhelm Judas LANCER.
More specifically, the kept press is
trying to create prejudice against
Governor Frazier all because the
DEMOCRATIC president of the
United States, at the instance of the
DEMOCRATIC attorney general of
eulogized by the same kept press for
his Red raids and deportations-lib-
Grated a mother who had been thrown
into iail.
But this coming election is an affair
of the REPUBLICAN party. Acts of
Democratic presidents and attorneys
general have no place among the is
sues. If, however, Mr.. LANCER wants
to fight it out on loyalty basis let
him hop to it.
According to the railroad press,
ould-be-Langer stands on
his "Americanism."
Now, Mr.. LANCER, rise up and tell
us just how many and exactly at what
places-we won't pin you down to
dates-you made patriotic speeches
during the war; We would like to
know.
If you did not actively discourage
the purchase Of Liberty Bonds, when
and where and to whom did you make
appeals in behalf of the sale of Lib
erty bonds?
Permit us to suggest, Mr.. LANCER,
that you appeal to the DEMOCRATIC
president of the United States and to
the DEMOCRATIC Mitchell Palmer
for pardon for failure to fulfill as
a public official your patriotic duties
when so many Of the nations man
hood were dying overseas.
You owe the people of North Da-
kota a profound apology, for, if you
will but recall, Mr.. LANCER, the peo-
pie elected you, altho they did not
choose Mrs. O'Hare.
The day is soon coming when the
people of the state will have an oppor-
tunity to express their appreciation
of your loyalty.
Is it possible that you and Judge N.
c. Young, lawyer for the railroads
and man supposedly active in the
sale of Liberty Bonds thruout the
state, have agreed upon basis of 10y
atty to the American people?
Let us consider Judge Young and
his clients for moment and, perhaps
we shall solve the riddle. The Judge
and his clients have a deep grievance
against Governor Frazier and the
farmers.
The farmers represent about 85 per
cent of the producing power of the
state. The farmers with Lynn J. Fra
zier as their governor forced the
OCdIudTu Vii, OIlc VI Vic OuuSC . VII
ents, and the railroads to pay their
full share of taxes for the first time
in the history of any state in the
United States. They now pay their
full share just the same as the COM
mon people, who have been paying all
the time.
Has anyone read in the kept press
anv attack on the railroads the
Standard Oil, Judge Young or his po-
litical associates who are trying to re-
gain control of the state? When have
these papers attacked the CORPORA
tions and the railroads for tax dodg-
ing?
There is one clue to run down be-
fore the puzzle is put together. The
railroads of the country are today be-
sieging the government of the United
States for hundreds Of millions OF
