Jamestown weekly alert. [volume] (Jamestown, Stutsman County, D.T. [N.D.]) 1882-1925, 1921-09-29


beginning of the last lap of the re-
call campaign finds the situation
very encouraging for an Indepen-
dent victory in practically every
county in the state according to re-
ports from local Independent work.
ers and leaders. The general predic-
ton is that at least ten per cent gain
is going to be made in the opposi-
tion vote to the present administra-
tion and that the state officials un-
der recall will be deafted by Nestos,
Johnson and Kitchen.
The several attempts made to cause
Ia split in the Independent ranks
seems to have had absolutely no ef-
feet anywhere according to these re-
ports and the general impression is
that the constitutional amendments
and the initiated laws will get a.
bout the same ma jOrities az the can
didates
With only five weeks OF campaign
ing left the outlook is very good for
decisive victory for the Indepen-
dent forces on the 2Sth Of October.
Reports from the different coun.
ties have been received as follows:
Pembina County-(By c.. r. Green
Cavalier) There will most likely be
smaller vote for both tickets, but
as several Nonpartisans in this coun-
ty have left the Trazier-Lemke-Ha-
gan crowd, NestOs will carry this
county as strong as O'COnnor who
had majority of 11O7 votes. Can
didates. and. initiated measures will
get about the same number Of votes
Attempts from certain sourcos Ito
create split in the I. v. A. ranks
have had no noticeable effects here.
Walsh County (By Gilbert
Erickson. Lankin) The Independents
will get full vote at the polls on e.
lection day this fall If the weather
! conditions are favorable and We
have good roads; I think the Inde-
pendent vote can be increased ten
per cent over the opposition. I
know of several instances where
Nonpartisans have left their party
and are going to support the Inde-
pendent candidates.; sentiment seems
to be somewhat stronger for the can
didates than for the constitutional
amendments and the initiated laws,
There is no split in the Independent
ranks.
Townhr County-(By J. J. Ke-
hoe. Cando) l think it will be possi-
be to increase the O'Connor vote so
that the majority in favor of the
!. V. A. candidates will be equival-
ent to ten per cent increase ON the
Independent vote last fall. In 9TH
er words. II think smaller vote
will De cast but the Nestos majority
will be greater. l know OF specific
instances where Nonpartisans have
left the Nonpartisan ranks. Some of
them will support the laws and the
Independent candidates. Some of
them will stay at home do not
think there will be much difference
between the votes cast for the amend
ment and the laws and those cast
for the candidates. The attempts
made by the League to split the I.
V. A. have not in any manner affect
ed the Independent Cause.
Trail County-(By Ole Eielson,
Hatton) Nestos and the rest Of the
Independent candidates will have
bigger majority in Trail county
than our ticket last fall when o.
Connor carried the county BY 325
votes. Several Nonpartisans have
quit their crowd and will support
the Independents; some will stay
home being too disgusted with af-
fairs In Bismarck to vote and not
yet ready to come over into our camp.
There will, in my opinion, be just a
bout the same number Of votes for
attempts to cause pslit in the I. v.
A. ranks have had NO effect what
ever in this county.
Cass County-(By Edgar L. Rich
