Drake, N. d. Oct. II, 1921.
From the Mill City to the Editor Of
the Ward County independents
To My Nonpartisan Friends Of
North Dakota: Let US decide at this
recall election October 28th as to
whether or not Governor Frazier,
Attorney General Lemke and Com
missioner of Agriculture Hagan,
shall remain in their offices or not.
The Ward County independent., 1921-10-13

I would like to ask you my nonparti-
san friends, did they ever do anything
for us farmers. Why certainly
they collected from us farmers thous-
ands Of dollars. Did we ever re-
certainly promised US great things
if they were in power. They have
been in power four years and what
did they do, they raised our taxes.
What became of all our tax money !?
They built themselves houses and
took our tax money and made farm
loans. Did the good old farmers ever
get . loan from the State? In my
opinion there were but very few.
The big bosses and their friends,
those are the fellows that got our
money which we paid in taxes. I
think am right, they built fifty
three houses. Those houses were to
he built for the poor, that is any one
with small means. Those houses
were not to cost more than five
thousand dollars. They range from
seven thousand to eighten thousand
dollars or even twenty thousand dol
lars. Is this a poor mans house?
Why certainly not, and | think if you
will look this matter up you will find
that those houses are. built under
contract. The state have given long
time payments. Any property that
the state has there is no taxes as
long as it is under contract. Where
is our school money, our hail insur-
ance and fremen's money. Dear
nonpartisan friend let us decide this
matter and let US vote for r. A. Mes
tos for governor, S. Johnson for at
torney general and Joseph S. Kitchen
for Commissioner of agriculture and
labor. Vote for all the seven initi7
ated measures. This coming election
will mean more for the people in this
state than all the elections we have
had before. We are going to win
this election with the nonpartisan
friends. Let US get back to the
good old times again. My dear friend
this is only matter Of trying it out.
1t can't be any worse am sure that
you will never regret the time if you
vote for the I. v. A. ticket.
Yours very truly,
HERMAN DRAKE

Under that pressure which the city
detectives knew how to exert on the
proprictors of such places the manager

Gated as the killers total start of six
days. For Jerry Brale had been mur-
dered.
Brale had been struck down with a
piece of angle iron. which had crushed
deep into his skull. The angle of the
wound showed the murderer had been
facing him. Apparently the struggle
was brief, for there were no other marks
OF violence upon the body except that
produced by the same weapon upon his
right arm between the wrist and ell
bow. This blow had bruised the flesh
badly and crushed through the skin
as well. The body was slumped down
IN a corner back into which the man
had fallen in recoiliDg from the blow.
The proprietor claimed to know moth
ing of the murder, and this seemed
likely, inasmuch rs the body had lain
in the room for four days. His story
was that on the night of the murder
Brale and two other men had come to
his place and asked for a private room,
