ney for Cass county acted as chair

In spite OF the fact that Mr.. Nestos

and delivered from two to five speech.
es daily he showed no effect of the
strenuous stump life except that his
voice was not quite as clear as usual.
Mr.. Nestos was given Il rousing ova-

Victory Forecast.
Every report from around the
state indicates a sweeping victory for
the Independent program and the
ticket at tomorrow's election" said
Mr.. Nestos.
THE chief effect of this will be the
immediate Improvement of the credit
of the state. There seems to be no
question but that the instant result OF
victory for the Independent forces
will be the resumption of the making
of real estate loans in North Dakota
by the people of Wisconsin Illinois
and other states. who have been max.
ing loans in our state during the past
couple ofsHecades:. ''''. '.s' @
Reasons for Few Sales.
I Letters recently received from
them by the loan men in our
state, who have becn trying to
sell them real estate mortgages
this year state very plainly and
empha ticalIy the reasons why they
do not care to buy North Da-
kota's mortgages. warrants and
tax certificates under the present
circumstances and indicate un-
.qucstionably that the defeat of
the industrial commission and
tho adoption Of the Independent
program and the election of the
Independent candida ates will bring
to an end the present orgy of dis
honesty, incompetence and ex-
travagancc and again make them
anxious to buy the North Dakota
securities and invest their
moneys in this state.
Better Management Needed.
They admit that North Dakota
without the inflated land values and
with it's comparatively small bond in
is fundamentally in better
, condition than any other state in the
union and that, therefore it will be a
considerably more desirable field for
investments as soon as it is sure tina,
honesty efficiency and economy will
be the guiding principals in the man
tagement of all of the states business
ITO make this Improvement in ouy
credit more marked We shall there
| fore need to separate from the pub
lie payroll the large number of en-
ployes, who now spend great share
of their time serving their political
masters and to retain in the service
of the state and to employ those only
who are competent and are willing to
; render the state full months service
for each months pay.
when this is done and made mani
fest that in the management of pub.
lie affairs and in the attitude of the
administration towards closed and
tottering banks there is going to be
the most constructive and helpful co.
political friends and workers. The
confidence of the outside world In the
state of, North Dakota will be fur
T; ther confirmed and the credit of our
state made strong.
Such restoration of the states
credit and the solving of the problems
of the state in a constructive spirit a:
will show that they propose to be-
come his servants. Of all people Of tbs
state for the upbuilding of the bust
