these will vote the other way. The bal
5l6t is secret and no n will know
how they voted.
Reports to League headquarters in
Fargo indicate that the bankers in al
most every community are behind the
circulation Of the petitions. In a large
number Of cases these bankers are
able to brow-beat small business men
into signing but the /. ". "A. head
quarters admits that business men
generally have refused to sign because
they are opposed to the expense at
this time. But the bankers have WELD
ed their clubs over the heads of their
renters and some farmers too heavily
in debt to dare to stand up for their
rights.
These people can have their names
removed from the petitions if they
write the attorney generals office and
present proof that they were coerced
into signing. The attorney general
promises to prosecute anyone who it
is proved, has used coersion to get
signers for the petitions.
The I. v. A. bosses are now sending
out an army Of trained workers over
the state to peddle their lying prop
uganda. Reports have come to the
League headquarters that personal
calls are being made on all ~depositors
Of the closed banks. The depositors are
being told that the guaranty fund
money is al tied up in the Bank Of
North Dakota. RI
These stories have been branded az
ealsehoods by officials of the Bank Of
North Dakota and the guaranty board.
he guarant: fund is deposited in the
Bank Of North Dakota but is avail
at any time when the board decides to
pay up claims. Only a limited sum
ian be raised each year for this fund
as it is contributed by the private
bankers Of the state in a fixed assess
ment. For this reason it may take sew
eral years before the claims against
some banks will be paid If none Of
them should reopen. AS most of the
hanks plan to reopen it will only be
. matter Of another year or 70 before
all claims are paid, officials declare.
"Of course, if the I. v. A. win in
the election it is highly likely that
most Of the claims will not be paid"
said a well known Lacquer in com-
menting on the situation. "Most Of the
closed banks were known as farmers
banks, friendly to the League. There
is no question but that the depositors
Of these banks will be defrauded out
Of their claims if the I. v. A. get into
power and a manipulate affairs &C.
cording to their will. They figure that
nobody had any business putting
money into a farmers bank, anyway,
and that whoever did so, deserves TO
lose it."
