Congress has been losing no time
in it's work Of reconstruction. Already
it has enacted most salutary immi-
grafton act which became law May
18th; emergency tariff act which be-
came law May 9th; a budget act
which became law june. 10th, besides
a deficiency appropriation act, the
military appropriation act and the
naval appropriation act. The latter
two bills also took decisive step in
economy by reducing the army to 150,-
600, a tremendous reduction from Sec
retary Bakers recommendation for an
army of $4,000. The naval bill also
wrote into law the request that the
country lead in the work of disarna-
ment by seeking an agreement with
the leading naval powers Of the earth.
"The critical situation in Europe on
the delay of definite determination of
the German indemnity where France
was threatening to enforce the trsaty
by military invasion of Germany
counselled discreet action to convince
Germany that this country expected
the vanquished to pay her obligations.
This was not only to be inferred by
our international conduct, but also our
specific instructions to Europe.
"Peace declarations have been
somewhat delayed, due to some differ
neces between the two houses of Con-
gress upon the precise form it should
take. The peace resolution was passed
by the Senate April 3Oth. The House
passed an amended resolution June
18th. It went to conference between
the two houses where speedy agree
ment was reached.
4 "The system Of federal aid to road
building is enlarged, and a mainten-
ance provision has been added.
Remedial legislation for the dis

such as improved facilities for hospit-

= - Ill !,
owned mills III this state. He advocat-
ed the plan Of taxation to pay for
these industries instead Of the original
plan that the institutions should be
made to pay for themselves out Of
the gross earnings that they are sure
to produce and make. Any right
thinking man or woman Of this state
should remember this, and then think
Of this specimen Of humanity
who would turn around and tax you
to death to build these things which
the people Of the state have voted on
seven different times and which have
always carried BY huge majorities.
Nestos claims to be the majority cand-
idate for governor and he will stand
by the dictates Of the people and will
hearken only to their voices. Again
he bellies himself, as he is here clearly
showing he has plan in view which
he and his cohorts have hatched up
and which they think they can pull of
over the heads Of the people and lead
them to do their bidding. &.
He spoke Of Spaulding, Svenbjon
johnson and other men going to Chi
cago to sell the bonds that this state
was offering On the market. He said
they were sent there before the I. ".
a. Convention at Devils Lake to see
the bond sellers off that city and to
find out if these bonds could be sold.
He said these men returned to this
state and made the report that these
bonds could not be sold but that 4
constitutional amendment would have
to be passed before these bonds could
be sold and that this amendment
would have to deal with tax before
they could sell any Of these bonds.
These arguments have all been
knocked in the head by the recent en-
sdorsement by Wood & Oakley, bond
sellers Of Chicago and also by the
verbal endorsement Of these same
bonds by Frank White, Treasurer Of
the United States.
He also attacked the Bank OF Nortn
Dakota and said IA part that It was
the greatest financial machine ever
built for political purposes that the
mind Of man had ever conceived. He
said it was true that this Bank had
given out some loans to the farmers O.
this state but the money that they
borrowed from it was the peoples
own money and twas this money that
should now be in the different COM
munities, which would help IN paying
teachers salaries and the like. He Also
claimed that the Bank OF North Dako-
la was mot able to- meet its obligafione
and it was owing these 81 felens COM q J.
munities their own money. fflend
Nestos forgot again TO tell the truth.
He should have told his listeners that
certain banks here in Bottineau Coun-
ty owes the Bank OF Nortn Dako.a i
$50, 900, and that they cannot pay "
back to where it belongs. It Is cases
OF this kind the state over tnat are
forcing the Bank Of North Dakota po
do as it is doing OF the present tl,ne.
If these banks could pay wnat tney
owe the Bank Of North Dakota, no

Gov. Frazier but that they failed TO
endorse his candidacy and that i was
the right Of all good citizens 70 rally
around Nestos the most brilliant and
able man in the state, to save the
state and its credit at home and
abroad. He closed his remarks about
D plea for majority rule and that the
PEOPLE of the state were tired Of the
present administration and that they
are looking with longing eyes to the
time when they would free themselves
of the Big Three, namely, Frazier
Hagan and Lemke. 4
Mr.. Nestos began his talk by COM
pairing North Dakota to q certain mist
which veiled the coast of Norway and
sent its gloom all over the land. IN
this mist there were three brothers
Who were out hunting and one Of them
became lost. The other two saw some
thing that looked like q monster of
tremendous size. They thought about
running away and then they thought
they would creep upon the monster
and find out what it really was. When
the fog lifted they found out it was
fheir own brother. They were happy
Ell the fact that they had found one
another and that the people q North
Dakota were just beginning TO rise
out Of the mist Of misrule and appre-
hension and that they would find
themselves under his administrator
Al Governor Of North Dakota.
Nestos also likened the present ad-
ministration unto farmer who had
gone away on vacation and LETT tne
chores to BE taken care Of by neagn-
bor bow who happened to be in love.
The boy only had time TO feed ana
water the stock and no time TO clean
the barn. The farmer returned IN 9
few weeks and found the barn IN aw-
ful condition. He said that the farmer
did not lie down on the job but started
first with i five tine pitch ferk and
cleaned up the mess that his nelghnor
how had failed to clean up. After the
fork process he turned on the hose and
cleaned it with water. Nestos saio,
