North Dakota legislature in 1919 in

AGRICULTURE BASIC INDUSTRY
The basic industry in North Dakota
Is agriculture. Our coal mines and
manufacturing interests are rapidly
gaining recognition and adding to the
wealth Of the state. Our state pro-
duces food and clothing. Producing
the essentials Of life we have fixed
place In the economic structure. Tho
prosperity of the farm is reflected in
every industry. There is no such thing
as merchants against farmers. Any
condition, climatic or statutory, which
lessons the prosperity Of the farmer
diminishes the profits of the merchant.
The merchant cannot sell If the farmer
cannot buy. There can be no prosperity
in North Dakota unless the farmer is
prosperous. The farmer is entitled ia
return for his labor which will pay
ali operating expenses Of the FARM, q
reasonable rate Of interest on his In.
vsstment and fair wage 70 himssl1

O'CONNOR ON
NORTH DAKOTA'S
NEEDS AND PROBLEMS

"There is wide distinction be-
the aims Of the leaders Of the league.
The leaders of the league have not
been interested in the welfare of the
farmer but have done everything pos
sible to destroy his prosperity. When
wheat sold for $2.65 per bushel in the
fall of 1920, the league leaders and
the entire league press advised the
farmer not to sell his wheat and the
result was that the farmers lost mil
lions of dollars as the price of wheat
dropped about so per cent. The league
leaders did not finish the mill and cle-
vator at Grand Forks, and after Mr..
Frazier was reelected in 1920 not a
nail was driven in the mill and ele-
vator for eleven months, until the
Ncstos administration took up the
work and carried it to completion. I"
"Thc league leaders," he continued,
"claim that they could not sell the
bonds and try to excuse their broken
promises in that manner, but when you
consider that the league leaders loaned
nearly million dollars out of the
funds of the Scandinavian-Amer
Bank to league corporations, collected
over three million dollars from the
farmers in dues, and wasted another
million, surely it was possible to get
one million out of some of these
sources to finish the mill and elevator
if they were in good faith. The
league leaders have always been fight
ing the farmers. We have definite
proof that funds of the tax payers in
the Bank of North Dakota were used
to pay campaign bills of the league,
while the Bank of North Dakota paid
for postage $4,000 in one year while
all the other departments Of the state
used $4,000 i'll postage.

ter governor than North Dakota has
today, and the reelection of r. A.
that no one in this or any state will
doubt the carncstness of our purpose
to once again travel the road Of san,
ity.
''The reason the leaders of the
league did not desire the farmers to
be prosperous, was because they
wanted to establish a socialistic form,
Of government in North Dakota and
this could not be done in times of
prosperity. In February, 1919, the
Appeal to Reason, the radical socialist
paper of Kansas, congratulated North
Dakota as the first socialist state and
congratulated Walter Thomas Mills
for writing the laws that made North
Dakota q socialist state.'
"The radicals from all parts of the
world came here,' said the speaker
"and were made welcome. Walter

have seen crops down with millions Of
grasshoppers or destroyed by the Hes
sian fly; we have seen wheat but a
short time before maturity made worth
less with rust, or destroyed by hail,
or nipped with frost. Untold millions
of bushels of wheat have been de-
stroyed in this manner.
Many farmers have come to the con-
clusion that it is unwise to put all
eggs in one basket, that on every farm
there should be different crops so that
no one of these disasters could destroy
t h g m all. Diversifcation insures
against failure.
We have some evidence that North
Dakota is seriously taking hold of this
matter. According to the United
States Buread of Markets between
1910 and 1922, North Dakota added
21e,s27 cows and during this period
only two other states, Wisconsin and
Minnesota added more cows. A study
of the statistics prepared by the Com
missioner Of Labor and Agriculture al
SO indicates that we are raising more
feed for cattle each year. This year
our live stock did not increase as it
should: Let me give you some figures:

production, transportation and sale.

production, transportation and sale.
Thirty-thrce years ago last March,
my father purchased an so0-acre farm
in Grand Forks County, four miles
southeast of Thompson. My father and
mother and eight children went to that
farm. 1t was a typical North Dakota
farm about half wild land, half under
cultivation, and all Of it covered with
Il mortgage. We have worked that
farm ever since, or shall l say that
farm has worked US. Besides this
farm, my brothers own and operate
about 1000 more acres Of land. There
fore, 1 speak to you with some little
experience in farm problems. Anything
that will make your farms more pros
porous will bring more prosperity and
happiness to our farms, to my two
brothers with their families who live
upon their farms in Grand Forks
County and to myself personally.
Therefore our problem is the same.
LEGISLATION NOT A PRODUCING
AGENCY
Legislation, both federal and state,
can do much to assist those of US who
are directly interested in farming but
legislation cannot be expected to do
it all. Suppose that the things that
we have discussed could be accomp-
lishcd within the next few months.
Suppose that transportation rates were
made reasonable and handling the
storage of grain at a price satisfactory
to all, the st. Lawrence Deep Water
Way project completed, sufficient funds
ADVANCED for the federal and state
government to take care of farm loans
and short time credits rs well as legis-
lation which would protect the farmer
on grades Of wheat, potatoes and
reasonable inspection of live stock
destined for market, the next question
would be what have we to sell upon
the market. What have we that we
can send into the channels of inter-
oeH9S SoAiihSlSC WAACh Will Iihc du-
vantage of the new system and brlns
prosperity to our people.
The problem of production, getting
the most out Of every acre of land, IS
of the paramount Importance to every
farmer. We have the same problem on
our farm which we have operated for
thirty three years that every farmer
has in North Dakota We are trying
to make that farm pay expenses and
return u reasonable interest on it's
value. 1t seems that study of older
agricultural states is of great benefit
to us all. For more than twenty years,
we produced for market on our farm
nothing but wheat and we found that
the farm was getting dirtier every
year and the income not sufficient to
sustain it. Our experience no doubt
is the same as that of thousands of
others in North Dakota. We have
come to the conclusion that it is i'm
possible year in and year out to raise
nothing but wheat on North Dakota
farm and keep out of bankruptcy. In
many places we have seen farmers un-
able to get into their fields because Of
floods and heavy spring rains. We

This is my state and your state,
everything that I have is wrapped in
its future. Our interests are the same.
Any law passed by Congress which will
injure you will injure me, and any
law which will benefit you will benefit
me. Since the League leaders with
their false theories of government
came into the state in 1916 1 have bat
tied as best could in the legislature
and on the public platform, against
these theories. In every act, in every
vote, in every word, party lines have
been disregarded and I want you to
know that have kept faith with you.
Much bitterness has marked our con-
troversies during the past six years.
Many ties of friendship formed in pio-
neer days have been broken, and much
happiness destroyed. Can we not come
together as citizens of great Repub-
lie without malice and with moderation

There is but single great issue in this

It is the highest principle of American

Ny position on state matters is thor
oughly understood by the people of
North Dakota and needs no emphasis
here.
In the Legislature, I voted for the
hail insurance law, the terminal ele-
vator, and flour mill, for lower rates
OF interest, lower attorney fees on
mortgage foreclosures, equal suffrage,
and each measure that was presented
was judged on it's merits. In a num-
ber of instances during the two regular
and two special sessions of the legis-
lature I voted for measures introduced
by Non-Partisan League members when
I thought they were beneficial. The
same spirit of independence I shall
carry with me to the National Congress
if elected. I shall support measures
whether of Republican or Democratic
origin. if they are sound. 1t is my un-
Outstanding that the farm bloc in the
Senate is particularly interested in
problems which affect agriculture and
I shall support any measure endorsed
by these Senators which will help the
conditions of the great northwest and
bring more prosperity to our farms.
My sympathy has always been with
the men who toll and my record in the
North Dakota Legislature has never
been questioned by the constructive
element representing labor. The child
labor law, the union labor law, full
train crew law and the law protecting
railroad workers from winter storm,
the eight hour day for women and the
minimum wage for women all received
my support and vote.
This is not contest between the
Republican and Democratic parties. It
is contest to determine the strength
Of radicalism in North Dakota. The
Republicans and the Democrats have
joined hands in the past several elec-
tions to fight for the things they be-
lieve to be best in government and
against the waste, extravaganza, in
efficiency and incompetency of the
League Administration. While this
contest is on, know no party lines.
It was pleasure to nominate Mr.. Mes
tos at the Devils Lake Convention as
well as sveinbjorn johnson for Attor-
ney General and to follow the nomina-
tions with what work could do on
the platform. The Independent Ad-
ministration has vindicated the Judg-
ment Of the people Of North Dakota
who placed It in power. Every promise
made by the Independents has been
kept by the elected oficials. Governor
R. A. Nestos, Attorney General svein,

Governor Nestos has made persistent
and unremitting attempts to secure
freight cars so that the crops Of North
Dakota can be shipped to market. On
his visit to Washington he interviewed
members Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and laid the needs. of the
farmers Of the state before them. He
has also several times wired both tho
Interstate Commerce Commission and
the railroads which operate in North
Dakota. The Governor again wired
the Commission on the 18th, urging the
need of immediate action.
