Cox claims that Harding has cam:
naign fund of fifteen millions and
one of our witty exchanges offers the
suggestion that perhaps the country
newspapers put up the money.
Late cable reports of rain in Argen-
tina broke the market a cent or two
on wheat. Whatever happens .Argen-
tine cannot equal her shipment OF
100000 bushels, her record from
January LIST, 1920.
The Baudette Region, published at
Baudette, Mimi, says: Baudette
farmers are making $500 an acre from
clover land, and the beauty OF 1t IS
that Townley isn't grabbing $19 of it,
The farmers of Baudette are burned
sight wiser than lot of the farmers
of North Dakota. Our farmers are
making less than a quarter of that
amount per acre and Townley is get
ting $18 of what they do make, and
if they continue to let him 60 the
Limit he will get the land as we'll as
the $18.
We notice in several places in the
country that women have been OBJ
jecting to tell their age when going
to register as a voter. Just why they
should object to this we cannot see.
They have asked for the ballot and
have been granted that and are now
supposed to be placed on the same
plane as men-having all the priv
ileges the men have in the way of
citizenship. The men have to tell
how old they are and we can see no
difference betweerthe two sexes in
this respect. We presume that after
this the men will not have to give up
their seats in street car-equal
rights being the order Of the new day.
The one great thing that has been
developed by Gov. Cox in his charges
about big republican campaign fund
is the fact that there are so many
people tired and disguised with this
administration that the people are
willing to put up any amount to get
rid of this democratic incubus. 1t is
a mighty healthy sign for the repub-
lican party when it can get all the
money it wants from people of mod
rate means to prosecute campaign
20 get rid of one man administra-
ton. On the other hand Candidate
Cox has not made dent in the wave
of republicanism that is sweeping the
country in his campaign in the west
He should go down south and talk to
the folks where no one but democrats
are allowed to vote.
Gov. Cox says that big business is
seeking his defeat. If that be true,
then the governor is a cooked goose,
because he has the biggest aggrega-
ton Of all big business in the land
back of him and who nominated him
Tammany Hall-so that he evidently
is distasteful even to his own reputed
friends. 1t won't be big business that
will defeat Mr.. Cox. It will be the
common people of the United States
who have become tired of the present
Wilsonian administration and who
are going to guard against another
four years Of it as promised by Mr..
Cox if elected. This Wilson Tanlac
has become distasteful to the ma
jority of the people of this country.
They want to try new medicine
Labelled republican efficiency.
The Fargo Courier-News is glee-
fully pointing to the victory of the
nonpartisans in Wisconsin at the re-
cent primary election and when we
read the returns we find that Senator
Lenroot, running against Mr.. Thomp-
son, the nonpartisan and LaFollette
candidate for the United States SEN
ate, has won an easy victory in three
cornered fight against the Townley-
LaFollette forces. If this is what is
called league victory for the love of
Mike heres hoping we shall have a
lot more Of them this fall. Thompson
was supported by LaFollette and
Townley and the big fight was made
to capture Lenroot's seat in the
United States senate. LaFollette and
Townley got a good licking in Wis
consin. The headlines in the Courier
News do not bear out the election re-
turns.
While the socialist propagandists
have not as yet opened a determined
fight against J. F. 7. O'Connor, fusion
candidate for governor and have not
seriously attacked his record, insin-
uations have been passed around that
he has worked against the farmers.
A perusal of his record in the House
shows that he was one Of the most
ardent Sl1nnortors NJ fha Mil onJ
