CALL" r. A. Nestos of Minot declared
at mass meeting held in, his honor
last night by the citizens Of Minot by
way of marking his selection as cam
didate for governor in the recall
election by the Independent forces
Of North Dakota. The meeting was
arranged by citizens committee Of
men and women, and friends Of Mr..
Nest0s from all parts Of the county
and points in adjoining counties
crowded the high school auditorium
to capacity. Mrs. o. E. Dickinson,
prominent Minot club woman, pre-
sided, while Francis J. Murphy ad-
dress the nominee in behalf of his
Minot friends.
Mr.. Nestos' address, while appro-
pirate to the occasion, afforded him
an opportunity to go OH record in
certain issues now confronting the
taxpayers Of North Dakota.
. This declaration of principles in
cludCd tho following:
That he is not a socialist but has
always believed that voluntary CO.
operation. rather than state owner
ship, contains the true solution Of
our problems and difficulties and
particularly the marketing problem
of the farmers.
That, however, we, owetit to the
farmers of our state, that the pro-
jects already started should be COM
pleted in the most economical way
and that the mill and elevator should
be managed by manager or board,
hottest, competent and interested in
its success.
That there be secured for the Bank
of North Dakota a capable manager,
who will bring the bank out of its
present muddle. and who especially
is posted on the rural credits pro-
blem, so that he may at once proceed
TO give our state the best III raj cred
its bank in the union, something 6
that the farmers need and demand.
That the present administration
has by it's conduct brought q nation
wide lack of confidence in the state
government, so that North Dakota
bonds can not be sold, and our pre-
sent financial difficulties relieved.
And that as the present regime re-
fuses to mend its ways. a recall
election can not honestly be avoided.
Recall Justified
But some folks say if these Of
ficials are removed what can the new
accomplish, consider
ing how badly tangled the affairs OF
our state are, would it not De prac-
tically impossible for the newly elect
ed officials to accomplish anything
during the coming year. 1t may be
conceded that it would be difficult
and that the newly elected officials
will have a Herculean task on their
hands, yet this should not discourage
either the people or the prospective
officials. Much can be accomplished

FORMER EMPRESS
OF GERMANY DIES
AT D00RN, HOLLAND

Doom. Holland, April 11.-Form-
er Empress Augusta Victoria OF Ger
many died here at 6 o'clock this
morning. The end came just one
year after she suffered her first SER
ious attack of heart disease.
1t was while she was preparing to
enter the house of Doom, the pre-
sent home of the former emperor of
Germany. after his long residence at
Amerongen, that she was stricken
with wha tat the time was believed
to be fatal attack. That was on
April 11th, 1920. For a few days
there were reports that death was
mOmentarily expected but she rail-
lied and accompanied her husband
to Doom on May 18th last.
Former Emperor William and
Prince Adelbert were at the bedside
when the former empress died.
Attacks of her fatal malady reoc-
Cured frequently each sapping her
vitality and nullifying the measures
taken by specialists to restore her
health. When her son former
Prince Joachim committed suicide in
Berlin last July she was i'll such SER
ious condition that the news of his
death was kept from her for long
time and it is stated she never
learned her son killed himself.
