Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1922-10-17

the audience by Mr., Frasier's iii
chosen remarks. I have watched him
90 !nto Montana pleading for Demo-
cratic nominees because the socialists
there were temporarily In control Of
that party. WIN he deny that he IL
South Dakota? WIN he, deny that he
and his organization are today at
tempting to defeat Senator Kellogg
for reelection in Minnesota with
either Shipstead or Mrs. Olesen. but
preferably with shipstead? Are not
his sympathies with the Nonpartisan
Lacquer in Oklahoma who has re-
governor in that state?. I do not con-
denim Mr.. Frazier1 for supporting
people running undkrA other, labels
elsewhere. In fact 1t NJ Inconsistent for
him to do SO II they represent his
views. I emphasize these matters only
to show you how inconsistent and
ridiculous are the arguments naW
the Courier-News and elsewhere that
Frazier is a simon pure Republican
and that any Republican who does
not vote for hin Is guilty Of disloyalty
and rank perfldy.
only on Saturday night I heard
Senator Ladd interestingly discuss the
work Of the ~so-called agricultural bloc
in the senate. He gave the member
ship Of that bios as twelve Repub-
leans and ten Democrats. Do you
for a moment believe that q socialist
gan do more effective work upon that
lloc, than a progressive Democrat? Ny
experience in the house with socialists
has been largely limited to Meyer
London of New York. It Is with his
class that Mr.. Frazier c~onsorted on
his trips while governor Of this state
to the city of New York. Let me
assure you that in Analysing the rec
ord OF Meyer London in the house o
cannot find anything in it in general
harmony with the work Of the agri-
cultural bloc. He and his class don't
care whether u agricultural pro-
ducers earn a living or not.
The other evening at Grand Forks,
Mr.. Lemke, the running mate Of Mr..
Frazier, and as I have shown you the
man who largely controlled Mr..
Frazier's acts as governor, shared the
ledo. Ohio. who openly proclaimed
himself in sympathy with Bolshevism
and in substance declared his rejection
OF the religious beliefs which North
Dakotans generally accept and re-
spect. Mr.. Lemke frequently applaud
ed the remarks ofthis social, nolitical
and religious anarchist. How do o
"bA0A SAO AASI AAAdI LIlC CduU1OaCy OF
Lemke for governor and that of
Frazier for U. g. senator should APP
peal so strongly to this radical? 1t ia
still we'll 70 Judge of the fitness
of men seeking high office by the
company they keep and the type Of
support they are getting? 10 Il not
2 fact that the official acts Of Lemke
and Frazier show just as utter a dis
regard and contempt for law and the
constitution az did the B~olshevistic ut
terances Of Frank johnson? Under
such circumstances ever though I am
the Republican nominee for Congress
in this district I do not hesitate at all
in going into the Democratic column
and there voting for a man who
stands squarely upon constitutional
principles and believes in q Repub-
lican form Of. government. Having
known Frank o'connor intimately for
20 years. knowing his views upon
public questions, having worked with
him In the legislature and being
familiar with his public record, I know
that he has the viewpoint Of the
farmer and the business man Of North
Dakota. that their interests are his.
interests. and that IL elected he will
work in entire sympathy with the
farm bloc in congress and I therefore
heartily commend his candidacy TO
the voters Of this state.",
