Chaplain GOodheart declared the
girl seemed absolutely sincere in her
confession, but said the marriage is
illegal. If Kelly accepts his new bride
they must be remarked, he said.

another long ago. It also developed
some startling information about the
methods used by Frazier and Lem
Ike to sell state bonds in New York
and Chicago. Elsewhere we give a
list Of some Of the board bills sub
mitted by George Webb, formerly Of
Glendale, for living expenses at the
Biltmore hotel in New York one weeks
bill amounting to the snug sum Of
$424 10. George Webb was probably
enc ofsthe most monumental grafters
in the whole league outfit. Several
Linton people knew him when he lived
at Glendale. AS an example of the
high-fying style of the fellow, here
is an excerpt from Webb's history:
Some years ago he and his wife left
Glendale to spend the winter at a
prominent Chicago hotel. In the
spring, he had a mammoth bill and
no money. So he morrgaged his next
years crop to meet the obligation.
With man of that disposition, it
must have been wonderful sensation
to be turned loose at the Biltmore
hotel in New York with carte blanche
authority to live as he pleased at the
expense Of the state Of North Dakota.

say that Frazier and Lemke acted as
they did to make things easier for
Nestos and his colleagues. Rather it
looks like a chance to make lasts
minute graft out Of the deal. AS the
proposition now stands, they have on
" hurt the taxpayers themselves. If
the Independents can break the con-
tract, they will be able to place the
bonds at much lower rate. This
will bring deep discredit upon the
league action. If the independents
cannot break the contract, they can
take the money and actually make
real estate loans and otherwise ease
financial conditions, thus making
themselves strong with those at least
who are helped with aoans. The blame
for the higher rate will still continue
to be placed at the hands of the Fra
zier administration; who took the
binding last-minute action in the mat
ter. (. 81
Politically, the .last-minute signing
Of the bond contract was q serious
blunder. It will result in making ad-
ditional independents OUT Of men who
have been leaguers. no matter which
way the thing works out. Hence, the
only conclusion to be drawn is that
Frazier, Lemke and Hagan them
selves realized that they were
through forever, and they decided to
have one more last, final grab at the
public crib.

dependents will fight for the republic

publcans and democrats will combine
against the league, unless the league
changes its plan Of action from what

Dakota stands to lose thousands Of
dollars by the transaction. The favor
ed Toledo firm stands to make thous-
ands on the transaction.
No one can be blamed for believing
that there was pure graft connected
with the deal. When it is remember
ed that the old industrial commission
took this final action after they had
the verdict Of the people in the re-
call election and had but a few hours
left to serve, all fair minded men will
agree that the honest course would
have been to put this deal up to the
men who will be responsible during
the next year. Il
In order to understand just how
outrageous was the action in bind
ing the state to a mammoth deal with
this one bond house without any COM
petitive bidding whatsoever, one must
consider few well-known facts.
First, the result Of the recall cleo
ton automatically removed all OBJ
lection Of eastern bond houses to
North Dakota bonds. Bonds Of the
various states are selling easily in
the eastern markets. North Dakota
bonds hard to sell with radical ad-
ministration in control should now
command the same terms as South
Dakota bonds, or nearly three-fourths
Of a cent better than the terms Of
the contract with the Toledo firm /.
That bond house knew this only toe
well, and they made haste to sign up
for all the bonds at par except the
bank bonds with a six per: cent in
terest rate. Even they have been un-
WILLING to do that until the result d
the election made it certain they
would sell easily. Then. in the last
few hours before they quit Office,
Frazier. Lemke and Hagan signed 9
contract that gives this Toledo firm
"a monopoly on all the bonds-at the
high rate Of interest named.
The leaguers scan make no honest
I9explanation of this action. From the
point Of political expediency, they
had no reason to make deal for the
bonds at the last moment. It was
the independents problem to rroyide
the needed funds. Considering The
bitter feeling existing between the
two factions, no man can honestly
Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1921-12-01

The recall result is bringing things
to light very rapidly which will great
" impress the men who pay the bills.
'ehe Lemke house is good example.
Many people in Emmons county heard
Mr.. Lemke say that his house was
really a modest affair and that the
independents had lyingly claimed it
to be larger than it is. We were
even told that a closeup view of the
house was taken to make the picture
show a large house. But, what about
the facts? It is now admitted that
Lemke's. house cost about $22, 900.
and it is further admitted that final
settlement was not made with the
state until q few hours before Lesnke
quit Office. Even then, it is said that
friends advanced much Of the money
to Mr.: Lemke to clean the matter up,
and that a deed to the property has
been turned over to his wife.
All through the campaign, the
league FORCES contended that Lemke
had furnished everything above four
thousand dollars Of the cost price.
The settlement made after election
a few hours before Lemke returned
to private lifeproves conclusively
that the prediction claims Of Lem
Ike and the league newspapers and
orators were lies, pure and simple.
Had the leaguers won the election
i. would still be maintained that Lem.
ke had furnished everything but fou,
/ thousand dollars. a
Look at it how you will, Lemke
proved himself a petty CRATER in the
whole deal, and only made good .,
the last minute to avoid prosecution
when the new officials took Office.
Lemke used state funds illegally il

. the answer. The bank examiner
could only Be removed for cause. The
leaguers realized there was plenty Of
cause for ne removal Of Ioftus. So
they had oftus resign, and appoint

have had to work hard to give the
people much information as to what
was doing in league administrative
circles. At that, much came to light
that was extremely damaging to the
grafters in charge. During the next
few months there will be chance to
get at the very bottom Of all rotten
deals RULED off. Tie Record will
make it point to keep its readers
informed specifically and definitely
Of these things as they come to light.
Any fair-minded nonpartisan who
couldn't definitely decide which side
to believe before the last election
owes it to himself to get his name
on the Records list for the next few
months at least. If he is short on
funds, we will gladly send the paper
and wait for our pay until times i'm
prove. Independents who are an
xious that their neighbors will get
the information that will develop
should lend their aid to seeing that
the Record gets.sin the hands of their
league friends. If you do SO, send
the paper to q few of your friends
for a few months. The next six
months will be most interesting ones
The next six months will bring out
facts that will make rabid independ-
ents out Of men who have been leag-
uers through all the years.
Reod your Record and then see that
it is passed on to neighbors who do
not take it. Not only will we guar
|antee to tell our readers Of the de-
telopments in league state affairs,
but we will also devote considerable
space to the matter Of expenditures
in our county and lesser public cir
cles which all help to swell o,,- an
nual tax demands.
