Must Win

&fNDr. H. r. Case, pastor OF the West
Minrater Presbyterian Church Of Devils
Lake who is campaigning the state for
the srecall spoke at Marvel Wednes-
day. DR.. Case said in his opening
remarks that the questions at issue
should be approached from three
etAndpoints. First, We must have a
dennttion of just what is at issues;
Second we must present proofs of the
position that we are taking n thir
We must answer the reasonable OBJ
tecttons to the position that we pre-
sent. His address took the form thus
outlined. He said in part:
In the first place just What is at

partisan League would have us be-

real issues-1st. Have Messs Frazier.

ahead Of the welfare and will of the
people of this state. This is the first
and great issue. The second is have
htye fulfilled the promises made to
you when you joined the League and
when you elected them? Third-Do
you approve the in which
public funds have been used or mis-
used during the Leagues incumbancy

Have Frazier, Lemke and Hagan
lived up to the trust imposed in them.
They promised you specific things.
You were being robbed by the Rob

were to be secured a cheaper rate of
interest. Taxes were to be lowered.
Homes were to be built, the cost by
Law not to exceed $4,000, for the
workingman who had not the means
or. credit to build without state help.
The Mckenzie gang was to be per-
mainly kicked out of North Dakota's
political ring. Have they done these
things? You know that they have not.
Not one Of these things so glowinElv
promised to you has actually mater
ialized. OF course they come to you
with excuses, but you have a right to
demand results. These they have not
given to you although they have had
the authority and power Of the state
instheir hands. Therefore they should
be recalled. They have not honestly
tried to hell the farmers but they
have helped themselves and used the
farmers for their own ends.""
In referring to the pledge made to
reduce taxes, DR.. Case said: ut seems
almost an insult to your intelligence
to ak taxes. You are paying them.
You know what they are. You know
how they hurt this year but listen

government against $~2,S47,1s6 in

not Why? Let some ardent Non
partisan answer that question. Surely
