INITIATIVE ScNERS
The Bottineau Courant has decided
to print the names Of all persons ID
Bottineau County who have signed
the /. v. a. petitions which provide
for (a) dissolving the Bank Of North
Dakotaa; (b) destroying the Home
Builders Association; (c) for fake
rural credit act; (d) for hybrid
election low that provides for such
things as congressional and u. S. SEN
atorial elections in the dead Of winter
and does away with regular political
parties; (e) and other measures null
lifying the Industrial Program.
These names are printed 50 that
Courant readers may carefully check
them up with view Of discovering il
legal and fraudulent Signatures, there
by protesting the purity Of the ballot
for Leaguers and independents alike
It should be borne in mind, how
ever, that this is merely q list Of sign
ers to the I. v. A. initiative laws.
Signers to Recall petitions for Botti-
neau County will be published in about
four weeks, provided they are filed
at the time stated by Secretary Mel
j son, Sept. 18th. As will be noticed
by the list Bottineau, Lansford, Max
bass, Ecman and other towns are not
included in the list as received by us
from Bismarck. Whether or not the
I list is complete we do not know but
it is being published exactly as re-
ceived.
There is no doubt that. the Recall
petitions will contain many more lille
gal signatures than the initiative pc
titions, 20 Courant readers are urged
to be especially careful in scanning the
next lists. It is reported from many
sources that /. v. A. petition circula-
tors have accepted the names Of babes
in the cradle, Of non-residents, OF
young men and women under legal
age; have signed names of persons
without their consent; have had per
sons sign two or more times; have Sc
cured names thru fraud, falsehood,
and intimidation.
Any evidence Of fraud should at
once be sent to VIM. Lemke, Attorney
General, Bismarck, N. Oak, and any
one who desires his name Withdrawn
from the recall petition should imme-
diately write to T. G. Nelson, Secre-
tary Of the /. v. A., at Fargo, request
ing that this be done, and sending q
copy of his letter to the Attorney Cen
eral.
