La aMoure, Sept. 80 . pecial -
In his speech here this evening r. "a
Nestos, independent candidate for
i governor, gave a new and most i'm.
u 3sportant reason for the recall sof the
three 5memb bers OF the Industrial com:
mission at this time when he showed
that "a lot Of invests alton and 9th.
4 er preparatory work was necessar ~
in advance of the meeting OF the next
d legislature. This had to be done,
7 he said, in order to bring the facts
before the people 50 they could
A choose their state senat crs and rep.
4 resentatives with the actual exist
Il ing conditions in view, and also to
map. out a constructive and sensible
Legislative program before the eight
sEeenth legislative assembly meets so
II as to save time and m money at that
\ time. 4,
While the question Of recall or
no recall is not an issue any longer,
Z n
4 voters have demanded such action,
4 there is still some lingering doubt
I in some quarters as to the wisdom Of
+ having the recall at this time, 3 said
Mr. Nestos. ia do not doubt that
these men and women are sincere in
I their attitude but there is one phase
\ Of the situation II wish to impress
upon their minds, and if y sncceed
in making my thoughts clear to you
II think. I can convince every reason
able man and woman that much good
can be accomplished and much time
and money saved by "a successful re-
call election this fall. $s35 K,
MI ~ Let us see what we should be up
against when the next legislature
meets, if we did not have Il he recall
at this time. Everybody admits that
things are bad now; everything is
chaos in adninistra ative circles in Bis
amarck, and every body admits that
we ought to get. to the ,h0ttam nf 4.
I things, In SorderstOs do that we must
have TIME to @investi tigate thoroly.
"a clear and concise review Of the
situation should be given to the peo-.
pie before the next legislative cam
paign and the issues would then form
themselves. The, members of both
houses would. be elected on these is
sues and they would meet in Bis-'
marck in possession Of such facts as
was necessary to map out "a con-
straictiye and sensible legislative pro-
gram. This would save time and
money But without the prec ceding.
investigation the members of the leg
islature would be fumbling around
without any definite aim and pur-
pose, and nothing .3of q. constr uctiye
nature would be ;accomp plished
s '..ItS is out of the question to think
of getting such. facts from the, pres
Z ent administration. Last winter it
took the whole legislative assembly
to get even a scratch at the surface.
No informati0n was given vOlun-
tarily to the members of either house
and such information as has been;
sent out from the various depart
ments and bureaus has been proven
to be inaccurate and often even
wholly untrue. Ii, ;sl

are published not for the puTpDse
OF giving Information but on the
contrary for the purpose OF covering
up facts. And then they are full S0f
partisan propaganda. he taxpay-

purposes In this manner in q most
flagrant way. ss's
Mr. Nestos is an imp essiye talkers
but not OF the spell lbind Ter type. He
uses no tricks In order to keep the
attention ot his aud dience, but he:
has mo al difficulty IN finding willing
listeners. II He goes strafght at the
