Of such serious moment; but that since
By some mystic chicanery this amend
ment had been foisted on us. a candi-
date should be named for president
who would make it his purpose to en-
able "the citizenry of the great and

test. We can appreciate the argument
OF those who believe that the amend
ment infringes upon their personal lib
erty; we can sympathize with those
who were wont to worship at the shrine
of John Barleycon; but we have no
patience with the man who is so stu
pid as to insist that prohibition was
put over on the people by some exter-
ior force without their knowing it.
What about the As states that have
collectively and Individually ratified
the amendment? If the liquor people
or anyone else want TO continue the
argument why not advance this line
Of reasoning: by an Overwhelming
majority we let ourselves in for some
thing. Perhaps found out how it
works some of us are sorry. Perhaps
there are enough sorry ones to carry
a vote for reconsideration"

NoNPARTISANS RECEIVE SET
BACK IN NORTH DAKOTA.

! In the primary in North Dakota last
week the nonpartisan league lost two
congressman, the secretary of state
and other state Offices. and those Of
that organization who were nominated
squeezed in by such small majority
that it cannot be called a victory. The
league nominated its candidate for
governor United States Senator and
one congressman. When it is re-
called that North Dakota is the home
Of Townleyism and that for years the
Donpartisan league has completely
dominated the state, the result OF this
primary must be taken as strongly sig
nfcant Of the rapid decline of the or
