HISTORY IN THE MAKING.

The most far-reaching political experiment for
years Is being tried in North Dakota today where
the voters participating in recall" election Of
their governor and other state officials
The state has provision whereby the voters may
discharge. before the end OF their terms. any off,
Gals who disregard the public welfare and who run
counter TO public conscience.
1t is based upon the theory that official is
public servant not public master
The argument against it Is that timid officials
might be influenced by powerful interests into acts
which are opposed TO the good.
The American sense Of fair play stands much
from those put into office. 1t does stand for in
solent and fragrant prostitution of the powers OF
government.
The election today will go far toward demonstrate
ing whether this recall is a weapon of defense
against imposition impractical in its effects
II is something new in state governments-and
this IS the day of new things.

homes easier to maintain-and the best things in
