THE WEEKLY TlMEaREcoRn vALLEY CITY, NORTH pAkorA

tell the people the truth about condi-
tions in this state and they dare not
give an honest account Of their stew
alp in Office so that the voters can
zee it in print, so they try to turn the
attention of the voters away from the
real issues of the day by yelling
fraud. If ever a greater bunch Of
frauds got into Office and put it over
the people than we have in North Da-
kota we have never heard Of it. Cries
of fraud will not save the socialist
bunch this time-they are doomed to
get the can on the 28th.
Lieut.. Gov. Howard Wood has said
in the public press that if the recall
is a success he will resign from office
as it would mean the destruction of
the industrial program of the league.
Howard better get busy writing his
resignation at this time because in
a little more than two weeks the recall
will go over the top with arwhoop. It
might be we'll to say that the recall
does not mean the destruction of any
part of the industrial program that
is of benefit to the people Of the state
it means the stoppage of this awful
recklessness in the expenditure of
public funds that we have been ex-
periencing the past few years; it
means the restoration Of the states
lost credit; it means the returning to
the state through safe and sane
channels of business the money that
has been withdrawn by investors who
have been afraid of this wildcat with
the sky the limit policy put in vogue
by the present outfit in charge of
things. If the recall will do this let
US have it, and right quickly. This
uncertainty and unrest needs stop
putting to it and the only way this
can be done is by voting for the mi
tiated laws and amendments and for
the election of R. A. Nestos, Svein-
bjorn johnson and Joseph A. Kitchen.
Vote yes on all the initiated laws and
do not let the slick ones try to close
your eyes to what they have done to
the state. If you give them more
time they will spend several millions
more wastfully and wrongfully. This
is the proper time to put stop to it.
The Courier-News this morning
says that if it had not been for the
Bank of North Dakota the state Agri-
cultural College and the State Univer-
sity would both of had to close next
week for two months or more until
enough tax money comes in to replen-
ish the general fund, which is very
low, if the bank had not come to the
assistance of these institutions. This
is remarkable, now, isn't it. fit had
not be,ll for the Bank of North Da-
kota the people Of the state would
have about half million dollars that
it loaned the Scandinavian American
Bank at Fargo that they now have not
got. If it hadn't been for this won !
derful institution we would have mil
lions more to pay debts that we now
haven't got because the money has
been loaned to league leaders on farms
while the regular farmers are cooling |
their heels waiting for relief. The c..
N. should tell the people about these
things when it is blowing about what !
the bank has done. This great bank
has shot away many thousands Of dol
lars in worthless loans that might
have been paid in soldiers bonus, hail |
losses, etc. But you do not hear of it |
through the league press. They gen.
orally print a picture of the sun rising J
Ger the mountain tops and label it the
birth Of a new day, but they never
caricature the farmer with Bonded
back waiting for his hail warrant to
be paid or the soldier boy standing at
the door Of the bank waiting for his !!
bonus. Not that you would notice it,
