"A RECALL BOOMEKANG.
IF public officials do not measure
up to peoples standards in the per-
formance of their official duties, do
not wait until their terms of office
expire, Vote them out of their
jobs on the spot, and vote somebody
else in. That is the sacred Recall.
As a matter of course, North
Dakotas Non-Partisap Lacquer
Socialists went in for it from the
start. They embodied it in the
State laws the moment they got
control. And hereby they created
a monster that is just now getting
steam up preparatory to running over
the whole Non-P Partisan League out
fit with true steam-roller efficiency.
With the aid of North Dakota's
level-headed women all the pre-
liminaries are under way for a
cleaning-out of the entire Non-Par-
tisan group recently elected to con-
troll in State affairs. Governor Lynn
J. Frazier, Attorney-Genera Will
liam Lemke and Commissioner of
Agriculture John N. Hagan-all 10y
al Nom Partisan Leaguers--are
booked for the Recall toboggan-slide
which will be ready for action early
in November next. ''The brain child
of the Socialistic regime the Recall
having been placed on the North
Dakota statute books by the Nom
Partisans," remarks Mr.. Theodore G..
Nelson, Secretary of the North
Dakota Independent Voters Asso-
citation has grown up in four
years and threaten to destroy it's
parent"
This recall vote in North Dakota
is interesting in that it will be the
first time the Recall process has been
applied in the United States to the
retiring of State officers. It will
also be interesting because it pro-
badly will measure the dwindling
strength of that curious crank OBJ,
session which has almost put the
splendid State of North Dakota out
of business as community too much
tainted with legislative lunacy and
haymow finance dreams to be trust
ed. North Dakota banks, under
Non-Partisan Soviet administration,
have been going down like houses
of cards, and the road to ruin was
stretching wide open before the
State when the revolt against such
lunaice government broke loose. But
the Non-P artisans are by no means
subdued even by the Recall threat.
They are rallying to make the fight
of their lives. They are rounding
up a $15O,OOs campaign fund, and
they have already trained their bat
teries on the Wall street octopus.
They are forcing a recall election
in North Dakota because they think
the farmers are broke, and they are
postponing the recall until Novem-
Der because they believe by that
time the farmers will be even less
able to defend themselves than they
are now. The Leaguers have got to
fight; either that, or we must sur
render our independence as free-born
American citizens and accept the
dictatesof Wall Street, the grain
gamblers, and the railroads.
What in the world would the So
cialists, East, West, North and
South, and particularly the nor by
nor'west made Socialists Of the North
Dakota Asylum do without dear old
wicked "Wall Street.? And yet it
was but few weeks ago that these
same Non Partisan ghost dancers
were down in Wall Street trying to
make the Octopus ghost itself get
them out of the mess in which their
organized lunacy had involved
them!-Harvey's Weekly.
