EIGHT MILLIONS OF
STATE BONDS SOLD.

Eight million dollars worth of six
per cent real estate bonds were sold
to Splitter, Rorick & Company, Tues
day, at par for cash, plus accrued in
terest. This eight millions of bonds
disposes Of the balance Of the real es-
tate series bonds authorized by the
present law. Splitter, Rorick and COM
pany having previously purchased two
million dollars worth Of these bonds
said Attorney General VIM. Lemke
last night. ..~.' a. H.. 49,
In addition to the real estate SER
ieS sold,- Spiezer, r, rick & Company
have also tak.n two million ninety
thousand dollars worth Of six per cent
mill and elevu,,. londs, at par for
cash, plus accrued interest, and one
million three h11 1tie6 thousand dol
lars worth of Bank Of North Dakota
Bonds, at five and three eights per
cent, also one million dollars worth of
Home Building Association bonds at
par, for cash. This, with sales pre-
viouly made, makes approximately fif-
teen million dollars of bonds that have
been sold by the present Industrial
Commission, said Mr.. Lemke, "and
the sales made today will leave the
Bank of North Dakota in splendid
shape for our successors and enable
them to make farm loans rapidly, at
not exceeding six and three fourths
per cent interest" \.
The cost Of making these enormous
sales has been only one hundred eight
thousand dollars which is extraordin-
arily remarkable showing especially
when it is remembered how savagely
the opposition fought to prevent the
sale Of the Bonds at any price or upon
any terms. The closing 6f this last sale
was undoubtedly the greatest victory
won by the Frazier administration,
which thus went out of office working
to promote the interests of the farm
ers and all the rest of the common
people, to the last.
But however that may be, the Lea
que administration goes out of office
leaving the I. V. A. Administration
millions of dollars for farm loans, and
other purposes. "Well done, ye good
and faithful servants, Frazier, Lemke
and Hagan." The next few months
will show how well the I. v. AS ad-
minister the millions the League Sc
cured for them.

.LEMKE PAYS FOR
HOUSE IN ADVAN( f

Attorney General Lemke made set
tlement in full with the Home Build
ing Association before leaving office
it was announced today. A deed was
given to Mrs. Lemke for their home in
Fargo.
Friends Of Mr.. Lemke in various
parts of the state put up funds to COW
er the transaction, taking first
mortgage on the home themselves, it
was stated, so that he would have no
further DEALING with either the Home
Building Association or I. V. A. poll
ticians." .t#
The house it was stated was esti-
mated would cost seven or eight
thousand dollars when construction
was completed, outside Of brick and
tile purchased by the builder. A state
ment from Mr.. Lemke's friends said
Gin the latter part of July the balance
due the Association was $4,000. and
though Mr.. Lemke repeatedly notified
the management Of the association
not to allow his indebtedness to the
state to exceed that amount, on Oc-
tober 28th, he was notified that owing
to additional work contracted for and
uncompleted, there was due the Asso-
citation $9,371.55. This amount Mr..
Lemke promptly paid, and turned over
to Mrs. Lemke a deed to the property
the following day.
It will be remembered that the only
attack directed against Mr.. Lemke in
the past campaign was on his house.
The I. v. A. told the farmers that
they were being deprived of thous-
ands of dollars in farm loans because
Lemke had dared take advantage Of
one of the laws passed in thsssbehalf'
It now appears that Mr.. Lemke, new
er owed the Home Building Associa-
ton the thousands he was charged to
have owed to them. What he did owe
he has paid in full, nearly twenty
years before much Of it would have
been due. 1t now remains for the
farmers to find out how many more
farm loans the I. V. A. Administra-
ton will make with the money Lemke
turned over to them for his house.

HUNTERS
GET SHARE OF deer

The season for killing deer in North
Dakota closed last night for this year
and Bottineau hunters certainly had
their share of success s-with u few
exceptions of course including
among them, yours truly, who had a
chance but for some reason failed to
shoot directly at the deer.
Last Sunday J. J. Krogen and Ing.
Ertresvaag doubled on a yearling
buck while the same day CLAUS Vet
tern shot deer. On Tuesday A. S.
Thorsen shot buck weighing about
$50 pounds and yesterday John Elton
brought a 6 year old buck to the city,
which weighed about 200 pounds.
The one Monte Woods killed opening
day is the largest so far reported.
No doubt more deer have been shot
but the above is all The Courant has
heard of up to the time Of going to
press.

RECALL ELECTION
FRAUDS IGNORED

were brought into court showing that
from only one fourth Of the state
five thousand illegal signatures to re-
call petitions had been obtained; de-
spite the fact that names of dead men
were shown signed to petitions and
persons who were shown to have
signed petitions three and four times
and to have signed as high as forty
five names of neighbors to petitions,
the Supreme Court of North Dakota,
in a majority decision, refused to re-
strain the state canvassing board from
canvassing the returns Of the Recall
Election that removed from office,
Frazier, Lemke and Hagan, who have
led the farmers in the most bitter
fight against special privilege, ever
waged by our people.
Attorneys Sinkler and Ellsworth,
who brought the case into court have
gone on record as saying that the fill
ing Of the Recall Petitions perpetrat-
ed upon the people of our state the
greatest fraud ever attempted in elec-
tions anywhere. "Nowhere in the
United States" said Mr.. Sinkler" has
even an attempt been made to inject
into an election the whole sale fraud
that as responsible for this election.
If the court upholds the filing of the
petitions, they have given their direct
endorsement to this fraud and in fu-
ture it will only be necessary for a
number of people thruout the state to
copy names Of electors from telephone
books and other directories in order
to recall the officers whom the peo-
pie elect to office"
Attorneys Sinkler and Ellsworth
brought into Court seventy five pages
of exhibits and affidavits as thei1
first showing before the court, and
their basis for petitions for injunc-
tion against the canvassing board to
prevent that board from certifying to
the election of Nestos, Kitchen and
Johnson. Attorney Ellsworth explain
ed that these affidavits and exhibits
did not represent nearly all the evil
dence in his possession, but was only
intended as evidence which should con-
vince the Court that gross fraud had
been perpetrated upon the people.
The Supreme Court waived aside
the evidence of illegality in the peti-
tions and refused to issue the restrain
ing order, Justice Robinson contend,
ing that action should have been tax.
en- before the election was called anc
should not have been taken by the
Taxpayers Committee but by the Off
cials who were to be recalled. To thi:
attorney Ellsworth replied that thu
people of the state had right at any
time to demand honesty in elections
and if the court ruled otherwise, the!
were depriving the people of one O.
their fundamental rights of citizen
ship.
When copies Of polling lists for tn
election 1920 were compared to recall
petitions, it was found that in man,
cases nearly half the names upon tn
petitions could not be located upon tn
polling lists. A copy Of the polling lis
for the city of New Rockford, Shove
that nearly sixty per cent OF tn
signers to recall petitions from tina
city, could not be located. Numberles
other precincts in the state Shove
nearly as many irregularities.
