congressman DuIIueoo, VI NY wv
md district, is back in the state, or
will be this week. talking for the re-
all. The entire North Dakota dele
ration is back working on one SIDE or
the other, excepting Senator McCum-
Der, who is playing a sort OF lonesome
hand all by himself. The senator does
not care what happens to us so long as
his skin is secured for next years SEN

/. V. A. attempting TO wreck Bank
of North Dakota stretches itself across
the front page Of the Fargo Morning
Distress, How can the l. V. A. forces
wreck an institution that has been
wrecked for the past year or more.
It can't be done. Not only have they
wrecked the state bank but the way
thew have heaped taxes on the packs
If fhe farmers of the state they. nave
wrecked the farmers-w1ich IS OF
more Importance.
The Norwegian League organ Tor
Minnesota, The Fremtiden, when IS
edited by the well known writer sig
ward Rodvik, of St. Paul last week
came out squarely for the recall OF
the present administration in Nortn
Dakota. The Fremtiden declared that
the nonpartisan league leaders and o.
ficials have broken their promises 10
the people, wasted money and bene-
fitted personally at the expense OF the
tax PAYERS. Several articles in the
Fremtiden is devoted to proving that
Frazier, Lemke and Hagan have mis-
ued their power and opportunity
It is not a question of l. V: A.. or
nonpartisan league, or repuDllcanlsm
or democracy, in this recall fight, 1t IS
a question of preserving the credit OF
the state and of keeping those VINO
have lived here for forty years or less,
and who have built up the state from
being taxed to death and having to
leave the farms. If this excessive tax
alton keeps up there will not be
enough farmers left here IN a rev
years to provide a driver for the
hearse and to provide enough pan
bearers to follow the corpse OF wreck
ed state to it's last resting place. Vote
for change and vote for business
administration.
For five years the nonpartisan
league managers have been promising
the farmers some dividends from It's
new dav that has been in force and
thew are going to make their promise
good. so Just at this time when they
are compelled to give an account OF
their stewardship they are gong to
give YOU formers dividend IN the
Shane of a raise of 105 per cent IN
state taxes. This must be highly
gratifying to you folks and IN return
for this kindness you will no douot
90 to the polls and vote for-the other
fellow.
The great issue in this election IS
NOT socialism-we have throttled that
already-but it is whether you want
tho credit of the state restored so that
farmers can make loans by investors
coming back into the state, or Wnetn-
er YOU want your taxes lncreased more
and more as they certainly Will De II
YOU return the Frazier bunch TO pow
er next week. Taxes and credlG are
the real issues in this campaign. Don't
take our word for it either, ABOUT
taxes. You have county treasurer
who is an ardent supporter OF this
new day. Go and get your tax re-
ceipt and ask him to tell you what the
taxes will be next year, and II ne is
honest as we think he is you Will come
away satisfied that we are telling you
the truth.
As they do in everything else, the
members of the nonpartisan league
administration in North Dakota He'
in regard to the sale of the alleged SIX
MILLION dollars of state bonds. In ap--
healing from the injunction issued
AGAINST the Bank of North Dakota re-
strafning that institution from re-
ceiving any more deposits the man
ager Of the bank had to bare all the
secrets to the supreme court ana aiter
it was all done it develops, that tnat
additional four million OF bonds was
only sold on agreement or option, aha
that the state had given the hrm PACK
cast an option to sell these bonds at a
little over IS per cent-a big loss 70
the state, because up to the time OF
this new day our state bonds have al
ways been above par. ANA IL Cnsy
had managed the bank right and the
business Of the state they would not
be going begging. It is crime to %
think of returning men to office tha5
. have abused public confidence and
shown such gross inefficiency.
The nonpartisan leaguers admit tna y
if they win out in the coming recall
election it must be through the work
and votes of the women: This IS an
acknowledgement Of defeat, because
while the nonpartisan women Will vote
Is do the men believing in the new
dav. the women on the other side OF
the political fence. the independents
will vote just as strong their way.
Il is fifty-ffty proposition. ms
whole election hinges on the PROPOSE
t;on as to whether the majority have
had enough Of this new day and taeayy
burden Of taxes-if they have then the
present administration is doomed 20 e,
defeat. The independent women WIN
no doubt do their part. In every
emergency they have responded TO tne
