Governor Preus came 10 iNOrtn
Dakota not to indulge in personal
tiles or muck k-raking, but as an A
merican citizen to register his firm
protest against the attempt by So
cialists to change the form of goy-
ernment established by our. fathers
and the founders of the. constitution,
and to change it. into q socialistic
ssytem, of which Russia today is the
horrible example. Governor Preus
stated positively he believed and
knew that the vast majority Of the
NonpartisanHL League members and al
SO the socialists are sincere and hons

Minnesota had offered TO her, two
programs, the state ownership or sq-
cialistic program; and on the other
side the cooperative marketing pro-:
gram, early successful in southern
Minnesota. 4 In Minnesota's big po-
litical campaign the voters rejected
state ownership and socialism and
as a result N cooperation has been
fostered. It. has succeeded 3Ssfs
North Dakota, however chose state
ownership and socialism, and It can
fairly and honestly be said the trial
has not been a success. Nj. ST. .
The voters today must decide
whether or not the s0cialistic pro-
gram and trial shall be cont tinued or
whether3sit shall be cast aside and
the cooperative mark citing system
follow in. its place. The leaguers
themselves by almost unanimous
vote have endorsed cooperative mar
keting Of grain The, formers have
lost faith lin the socialists promises.
