PRIMARIES WEDNESDAY

tlSdn League governor OF N OrCn La
kota, defeated in the recall election
less than q year ago by Governor
Nestos, staged e wonderful come
back in politics last Wednesday
when he defeated United States
Senator Porter j. McC Cumber, chair
man of the Finance Committee, the
most powerful committee in Congress,
for the Republican nomination for
Senator in Congress by a decisive
vote. This marks the passing of
one Of the staunchest of the old re-
dictionary school Of politics, McC Cum
Der having held the high position
for twenty-four years, and the en-
.tering Of a man of the new school,
progressive and alert to the needs
of the common people. North Da-
kota already has one progressive
senator in DR.. Ladd, who was elected
two years ago with Nonpartisan
League endorsement. It is conceded
that after next March, North Dako-
ia will have two Nonpartisans in
the United States Senate as the
Democratic candidate is not con-
ssidered likely to give Frazier much
worry at 4 the November election.
Dispatches from Washington carry
the news that Senator McCumber
will shortly issue q statement to the.
voters Of North Dakota in which
he will announce his intention Of
loyalty supporting Frazier in the
fall election.
Affects LaFollette's Rank.
The election Of Frazier to the
United States Senate has far-reach-
ing consequences. Amongst the re-
suits hailed with delight by progress
Isives all over the country is the ele-
vation of Senator LaFollette to be
ranking member Of the Finance Conn
mittee Of the Senate, the most pow
erful committee in Congress. sena-
tor Reed Smoot Of Utah, as the
present ranking member, becomes
the chairman of the committee upon
the retirement Of cCumber. But
it is known that it is only q matter
Of a short time until Senator Smoot
will be called to head the Mormon
church and when that time comes,
Smoot, as a devout church man, will
give up his position in politics to
heed the call Of duty to his church.
That will move 3LaF GILLETTE up to
the Craftsmanship, under the seniors
(ty rule, and close observers say that
this may happen within a year. This
would be the greatest blow imagin-
liable to the reactionaries, and it is
already loudly rumored that an at
tempt will be made to change the
seniority rule in order to keep the
feared progressive champion Of the
people from Wisconsin, from ac-
quiring that powerful position in
Congress.
Nestos is Re-Nominated.
Governor Nestos was re-nominate ed
for governor over the Nonpartisan
/ League candidate, State Senator B
i F. Baker, in last weeks primaries
/ Nestos campaigned on platform
promising to continue the Nonparti
san League program already ini
tiated by the League administration
before Nestos became governor. Thu
Nestos was in the advantageous po
sition Of promising to administe
the government of North Dakot
along Nonpartisan League lines al
though running for the nominatio
against a Lacquer. Another big ad
dantage in favor OF Nestos was tn
fact that he is q Norwegian, Whic
means a great deal in North Dakot
politics where the overwhelming ma
i jority of the voters are Of Scandina
Wan origin. Governor Preus Of Min
