The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1920-06-10

UNI and other anti-socialist papers
the state have been get
ting under the skin Of Mr.. Cathro,
and he attempts to answer the ques-
tions which have been put point blank
to him in letter to the Fargo For
um, but instead has got things mud
died up so, and either through sheer
neglect or guilty conscience he has
admitted that funds are transferred
from one account to the other. He
<hould be careful. He must remem-
Der that he has job that pays $780,
900 year, besides board and room,
and as many movies, ice cream sodas
and other little necessities which a
man of his standing and ability CD
would require. The only executive
ability which ne has displayed during
his regime in his sacred harem of
the bank is to rush to the vault and
twist the combination whenever he
sees bank examiner coming.
While all this political dope is be-
ing handed out no you on the stump
and elsewhere these days, do not over
look the fact that you will be asked to
vote on three measures that should be
voted down. One of the measures you
will be- asked to vote on is the red
flag bill. Do you believe that we in
North Dakota should permit the an
archists who shot our soldier boys on
Armistice Day to parade through 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:
Coward Christian soldiers! Duty's
way is plain:
Slay your Christian neighbors, or by
them be slain.
Pulpiteers are spouting effervescent
swill,
God above is calling you to rob and
rape and kill,
All your acts are sanctioned by the
Lamb on high;
If you love the Holy Ghost, go muir
der, pray and die
And such melting to revolution as
this:
Come on, you fellows; get in line;
we'll fill the boss with fears;
Reds the color Of our flag. it's stained
with blood and tears
Well flout it in his ugly mug and ring
our loudest cheers
For ONE BIG INDUSTRIAL UNION.
Shall the anti-fag law be approved.
You bet. Vote YES.
The Cooperstown Sentinel Courier,
in a desire to get something on Mr..
LANCER, publishes string of ques-
lions that were asked Mr.. LANCER by
his opponents previous to his nomlna-
ton at Minot. These questions have
become so old that they have devel-
Cpd big growth of hair and mold.
Those fellows who asked these ques-
tions are now on the stump helping to
nominate Mr.. LANCER and harmony
and peace is prevailing with a dis
queting effect upon the league bunch.
| If the Sentinel-Courier wants to be
up-to-date about asking and answer
ing questions why does it not put in a
little time answering the questions so
often put to them of late. Why have
the league leaders who control. the
state government raised the taxes on
the farmers from 200 to 300 per cent
Why will they not allow real audit
of the books of the state? Why is
the Townley organization which is the
state administration opposed to an
anti-red flag bill? Why it was neces-
sary to create printing graft for
fifty-three newspapers Why is it
necessary to import socialists here to
fill the state Offices and to fix our tax
bills? And a 100 or more such things
might be answered if these reformers
we're sincere in their object Of giving
the state an improved administration.
LANCER is the big thorn in the flesh.
If he is nominated every Lacquer
knows that it spells death to red So
cialism and the cutting off of use
less pay check to a lot of red hang
ers on. It is costing the farmers of
the state millions Of dollars in un-
necessary expense to keep lot of
worthless Office holders on the job
1t has cost the farmers millions of
dollars in several donations to
a cause from which they are receiv-
ing not one bit of benefit, and it has
cost the loss Of credit Of the state
and left US in practically bankrupt
condition. These are some of the
things that the kept league press
should answer to the people instead Of
trying to throw dust in their eyes by
making LANCER the target to fool the
people.

kicked and kicked hard that repre-
sentative radicalism who found fault
