were discounted at least twenty-five
per cent they would result in a sweep
ing victory for the independent forces
in November.
I'm order to make'a success, to
make living, to ley little by, for
the future in any business ono must
have cooperation. In the printing
business you must have the coopera'
ton of the farmers and the business
men. With the feeling Of bitterness
that ~has been rampant in the state
during the past four years it has been
hard to build up any kind of bust
ness, but in the years to come the
people will appreciate the work which
you have done for the upbuilding of
the state. @essi@ .,.,
But we need your help and will
need it in the future. You must con-
tinue to bring the truth to the people
of the state. The time is past for max

abuse and the calling of names. What
/ would plead is that you be fair and
moderate in all your statements. You
can discount the facts Of what has
happened in the state in the past few
years Is per cent and still they will
be strong enough that when the peo-
pie realize their truth they will sweep
the state clean of the men respons-
ible.'
i.!!2s Careful OF Promises r
Il would also urge that you be
somewhat careful of the promises you
make in regard to the future. It is
dangerous to promise q big reduction
in taxes: We hope to begin immedi-
ately after, the election a reduction in
taxes but we have been dancing and
fiddling for four. years and we must
pay the fiddler. We have. obligations
which the present administration has
placed upon us, which must be dis,
charged. But you can promise a rigid
economy. You can promise that only
honest men will be employed and you
can promise the number of employees
will be greatly reduced. You can
promise that just as soon as the new
is inaugurated that the
expensive Offices in New; York and
Chicago. will be closed and instead Of
large expensive advertisements in the
papers and magazines of the east we
will have free stories declaring that
North Dakota is once more safe and
sane" ~ 4 = :
More Enthusiasm Shown
s "But l say we must have co-opera-
ton: Five weeks ago as travelled
around the state felt discouraged. I
felt much like the man who is left
holding the sack, but in the last FIVE
weeks thereS has been a great change.
Now: the men and women Of the state
are taking hold They may not all hes
[fcve3 that the recall election is nec:$
essary, they may not ali like the men
who are in charge Of the campaign,
they may not like all OF the campaign
methods, which are being used, but
they see that the salvation of the state
;an only come through earnest coop
Grafton and q thorough cleanup ~
NE. Nestos described 1.-THE Bank Of
North Dakota as the greatest eye !,
opener Of all history" He said that
I. surpassed all the doctors IN, this
regard. He told the story Of Syoung
nen, all leaguers,. who had been work !
ng on the roads and when they had
lnished, received checks on the Bank
Il North Dakota. The checks were
,ent in and in few days these young !
nen received the checks back with l
he abatement that they had been reg
stored. Now half Of these men are are \.
and the other half ares
lot such strong leaguers.
In conclusion Mr.. Nestos said that
while cooperation was needed during
he campaign that the unselfish work
which the members Of the press assoc
:iatipn have been doing should be-
continued because the cooperation Of I
III the people sof the state would be |
Iecessaiy to re-establish the credit Of !,
he state, secure the funds ecessary
- reopen every school An the state;
md to put North Dakota back in its
ightful place among the states Of the
