Thinks Recall Should Be Used Until
Things are Cleaned Up
The following article was mailed
to the Times by j w. Hutsinpiller,
who was present at Governor Fra
zier's speech and took issue with him
on several points. Our readers are
invited to use these columns for the
expression Of their opinions as long
as they stick to the issues and do not
resort to personalities. Here is what,
Mr.. Hutsinpiller has to say:
Editor Oakes Times:
If the recall law is league law
why should Lacquer kick on the re-
call? Why should Frazier kick? The
I. v. AS are only doing what he and
his clique did with Miss Nielsen.
They did all they could to keep her
out Of her Office and rights. She had
to appeal to the supreme court and
the voters to get her Office and rights,
and LANCER has been a rascal in the
eyes of Frazier and other leaguers
ever since. If the shoe is on the other
foot let them wear it.
Frazier had a man from Idaho make
q very solemn, pathetic speech, stat
ing what q calamity it would be to
recall and brand these men with dis
honesty. They were not thinking
about that when they were fighting
Miss Nielsen. Didn't think how soon
IT, would come home to them. They
say, "The way Of the transgressor is
hard" and it is true.
Frazier had q lot to say about CAM
paign expenses. Who is paying the
expense Of bringing in all these out
siders from Idaho, South Dakota and
other places to make these pathetic
speeches? Are the farmers and tax
payers doing it? Has it not been
proven to certainty where it comes
from Frazier says the I. v. AS get
theirs from Wall street and business
men. Well. Wall street is more able
to pay it than the farmers. I'll ven
ture the assertion that leaguers will
spend more money in this campaign
than the I. v. AS, and they will not
get it from the farmers, or not all Of
it, either. saw q statement Of cam
paign expenses in Montana, and the
leaguers spent more than the repub-
licans and democrats combined. That
was in the last election.
Frazier had lot to say about the
Fargo Forum. The Forum is read,
suppose, by more people than any
other paper in North Dakota, and
think it the most reliable. The first
ever saw in any paper about the
league was in the Forum, and was
written by Scandinavian from the
north part of the state. It was tell
ing what great things it was going to
do for. the farmers.
Why is it league paper can't keep
an editor any length Of time? How
many editors has the Courier-News
had in the last four years7 Out at
Beach, four in nine months. In Grant
county, Cahill's county editor quit and
published his reasons. He said he was
tired of publishing Cahill's dope.
had friend who worked for the
league in Fargo. He quit them,. and
said if the devil could get ahead Of
the league he would "have to 60 some.'
How many managers have they had
to run their chain Of papers? / know
Of four in the last four years, George
Totten Jr. being the last one, and he
had not been there a month until there
was a row. Liederbach got on teal
and said T0tten and the Courier-News
had lied, etc.
Liederbach and Lemke, Miss John.
son and Richardson made speeches
at Donation park here in Oakes, in
which Liederbach said Townley was q
greater man than Lincoln, and that
the time would come when Townley
would have a monument erected to his
memory in every state, and likened
his cause to the greatest since the
coming Of Christ. Frazier in his
speech compared his prosecutions tc
the Masters, or Christ's.
He did not tell the truth about the
Bank of North Dakota. He did moi
tell how it was organized or financed
He did not>ell that Cathro wrote Out
a check for two million dollars anc
then the industrial commission issued
bonds for that amount and the banl
was ready for business, yet they die
not have cent Of money. They tool
from the funds Of the state to finance
the bank and they have been doing
that ever since. He also told about
borrowing a million dollars from 6
Chicago banker. He told tl,ev maid Il
when due, but did rot tell how they
paid it. They took Of the different
funds of The state and paid it, and tiet
up our school money, firemen's funds
auto funds, ETC., and we had to Dor
row money to run our schools, etc.
They had a law passed to make al
the townships do business through
the Bank Of North Dakota. They tool
the township money and paid 29o
therefore our county lost go.
Then we got that law and some 9th
