over a dollar for November 1920"
From the above figures, truthful if
such authorities as Bradstreet and
the U. S. department of commerce
are considered as authorities, the
law Of supply and demand seems to
have died q premature death at the
hands of the grain gamblers and their
allied friends. Further their propo-
ganda to the effect that Europe was
and is not buying IS shown to be a
deliberate fslsehood.
With a spread of 81. 81 between the
farmer aud export price, which the
grain Spectator got, accounts for
their latest announced intention of
recalling Of Frazier and Lemke, as a
nice per cent OF their "bear raid''
profits. This doubtless will be sent
here to help in defeating the op-
ponents of their nefarious grain mar
keting system in this state. Thus
with the hope of wintry conditions on
election day and hard times as we'll,
their state wide campaign plans, may
appear in fact so enchanting that be-
fore long their false howl of economy
will be lost in their avalanch of
statements of untruth alleging mis-
management, crookedness, etc. Yet,
will that help the taxpayers of this
state to pay SIPS. 600 for another
needless election? With a reported
slush fund of hundreds of thousands
of dollars would these politicians Of
the old gang do any better in case
they should elect Que of their will
ing tools as governor, than they
we're dnring the twenty-five years
that they were in control before the
f farmers of the non-parlisan league
kicked them out.
Beyond a doubt another election is
is at hand so with the help of the
bull doing control of their despotic
majority in the house, whose star
chamber. secret caucus, straight jac'
ket method of procedure outrivals
the days of their patron saint, Aleck
Mckenzie, much therefore can be ex-
pected in the way of political rot and
%concocted propaganda from such a
motley crew of scuttlers, that pose as
independents, but in reality are as
hide bound bigotted partisans that
could be found anywhere.
The real problem in North Dakota
is the fulfiIlment Of the nonpartisan
leagues industrial program. This the
majority of the voters have given
their approval at seven elections.
Even the Independents, agitators
and Legislators, when seeking votes,
what do they cay? In substance it is
this: "The league program ls FINE,
the people need it, but you know we
don't like the leaders, So you see
that not one independent has been
elected on a program that opposed
the leagues program. Instead they
have sneaked in by deceit and decep-
ton, as there was no other way for
them to secure the votes. So now,
faithful to their reported secret
pledges, the majority of these birds
are bent upon the destruction of the
factor that put them in power. Such
hypocrisy and betrayal, akin 60 a
Judas, is surely observable to US all
