This amendment would put back into the
hands OF the lawyers and politicians the old
club of patronage to keep the newspapers
under control. If you are good the lawyer
Will give you his clients money to pay for
the legal notice in your paper. If you are
bad-the favor is withdrawn. Political

course of study for all the common schools

That was enacted in 1911. It once was
longer and gave more powers; but when state
supelantendents got to passing out teachers
certitlcates In violation of law, without re-
curing the recipient either to pass IN ex-
ANIMATION or to have the required school
credits, it got too thick for the legislature,
in 1911, long before the Nonpartisan League
was heard of, repealed that power. Another
thing that urged the legislature on was the
StockWell scandal, which was caused by the
state superintendent keeping for himself the
fees received from the issuance Of teachers
be- safer and squarer to take the job of is
suing teachers certificates out of the hands of
ONE person and lodged it with a Board Of
Education. That has been the law since then.
Minnie Nelson got HER teachers certificate
through law violation. She had neither the
educational qualifications nor did she pass
the required examination. Yet it was handed
out to her-a1d the records at Bismarck
show it.
The other four powers which would be
granted by the passage of this amendment
NEVER HAVE BEEN HELD BY ANY state
superintendent in this OR ANY OTHER
STATE. The l. V. A. would make the state
superintendent an absolute monarch of the
schools OF the state, even extending her juris-
dlction over the High Schools thing never
before attempted.

think ONE person should take over the power

The plot here is too apparent to be over

HALLS RECORD AS SECRETARY
OF STATE, R0TTENEST OF BUNCH

Tom "Mandamus'' Hall, /. V. A. Candidate
for Secretary Of State, has double-crossed
everybody that ever trusted him ever since
he entered politics along about 1908 and
started his career by double-crossing Tom
Marshall.
In 1914 this same broadcloth terminal
syndicalist" entered a meeting of Farmers In
Bismarck, where George Lotus was speaking,
and led a bunch of his fellow hoodlunB In howl
ing at Lotus, one of the greatest men that
ever stood on a platform, Rotten! Throw HIM
out!"
Then this rattleless rattlesnake comes
creeping along and submits a minority
report to the State Board Of Canvassers
in which he declared that the amendments
making the FARMERS INDUSTRIAL
PROGRAM possibly had NOT PASSED.,
this tho the amendments had all gone thru
by BIG MAJORITIES.
Then in 1919 this old. crocodile without
tears had to be MANDAMUSED by Governor
Frazier and the Industrial Commission before
he would sign the bonds (ordered by the
legislature for the creation of the Bank of
North Dakota.
1f1ed 10 break Equity
Then the Equity Cooperative Packing Co.
had to go into court and mandamus Tom
"MANDAMUS" Hall to compel him to file it's
papers allowing it to take advantage of the
cooperative laws of the State. YES, Tommy
is with us-ON THE OTHER SIDE.
Then the Mohall Elevator Co., a co-opera-
tive elevator, had to mandanaus him and go

would file their cooperative papers.
Then in 1919 he and Bill LANCER worked
together to wreck the Consumers United
Stores Co. and Tom "Mandamus' is still doing
all in his power to destroy these Farmers
stores. Old "Mandamus" loves the farmers
and their co-operatives, alright-just like the
Devil is said to 'love holy water"
Then, about a year ago, Tom 'Mandannus"

and his croney Bill LANCER, according to the
Supreme Court, violated the Laws of North
Dakota and became bank-wreckers when they
had their men seize the Scandinavian-Ameri.
can Bank.
Next "Buzzard" Bin had Tom aMan-
da1nus' Hall arrested for EMBEZZLE-
MENT, and ever since TOM has been call
ing BIZ a crook and CRATER and Bin has
been insisting that TOM was guilty as
charged. THEY OUGHT TO KNOW
EACH OTHER.
Next we find Tom 'Mandamus'' Hall and
his friend and attorney, W. H. STUTSMAN,
a tried and true friend of the Railroad RATE
GRADERS, take the platform and advise the
voters to elect LANCER, the man they had
charged with being a CROOK and CRATER,
Governor of North Dakota. Can you beat that
for CONSISTENCY?
The |. V. A. surely has some pretty lousy

Shameless Deceit Is Underlying
Purpose off, Y. A. mitiatedLaus

Before entering q discussion of the five
proposed amendments to the laws enacted by
the farmers. it is we'll to prelude it with this
clear statement:
Every law which the I. V. A. now
proposes to amend was SUBMITTED TO
THE PEOPLE at the special election held
June 26, 1913, and BY THE PEOPLE AP.
PROVED by majorfties running about
10000.
Failing to secure the DEFEAT of those
laws, the !. V. A. now resorts to the trick
of demanding that they be amended" thru
the initiative. The nature of the amendments
offered are such as practically to accomplish
the destruction Of the laws-attempted in
June, 1919.
How many chances do the I. V. A. demand
at the destruction of these laws? The I. V. A.
fought them when they fought the Non
partisan League program. in 1916, when Lynn
]. Frazier was elected with those laws as his
platform. They fought them when they were
introduced in the legislatures of 1917 and 1919.
They appealed to the people in June, 1919,
and the people sustained the laws. Now they
take another devious method of attacking
them-thru an initiative. which pretends to
AMEND and whose real purpose is to
ANNIHnATE!
