son is not candidate for reelection
and Mr.. Schafer seeks the place. If
the latter is elected the cases will
have to be prosecuted by him. If the
league candidate is elected the cases
can very easily be dropped out of
sight just as easily as nearly a half
million dollars of the tax payers mon
ey was dropped out of sight in that
Fargo bank. Mr.. Frazier is much set
against the grand jury system, which
is very reasonable position to take
looking at it from a league stand

ness in public affairs they will rally
to the support of Mr.. Schafer at the

COME AGAIN

For three days the United CONNER
Icial Travellers of Minnesota and North
Dakota have been the guests of the
local U. c. r. organization and the
City Of Valley City and tonight the
convention closes and most of the
boys will have departed for their
Ihomes or headquarters. We want to
assure them that we, as people, have
thoroughly enjoyed this visit from
these boosters and trust that they
have been repaid for coming here,
despite the inclemency of the wealth
jer most Of the time they have been
here. 1t has been an endeavor on the
part of the city to give them a good
time and we think we have done So
at least the visitors say we have-and
if they are pleased that pleases us.
We want to say that while here they
have been real fellows, enjoying them
selves in gentlenlanly manner, yet
having lots of fun like grownup boys
will have on occasions of this kind,
and the fellowships strengthened and
acquaintance made, will last long
time with us all. 1t has been good to
have you come here and in the spirit
of every citizen of Valley City, on be-
half of the local organization and the
city officials we heartily bid you to
come back again.

Theo. Nelson is not candidate for
any office at the coming election, but
from the amount of publicity the lea
que organs are giving that gentleman
one would think he was the whole
ticket and no one else should be con-
sidered. The fact of the matter is we
are getting too much Nelson and not
enough facts concerning the true con-
dition of things in this state. The
leaguers cannot camouflage things by
making Theodore the issue from their

Two or three years ago Bill LANCER
was going around the state on the
stump vociferously "cussing" Mr.. A.
C. Townley and telling the people of
the state what a bad man he was.
The issues are just the same as they
were then and Mr.. Townley and Bill
LANCER are absolutely the same kind
of men as they were then. Townley
has been receiving some hard jolts
from his former colleagues and Lam
ger has been getting some from his.

1t is reported that a third legisla-
tive candidate will be in the field at
the primaries in the fifteenth district.
j. S. johnson, who ran against Mr..
Grangaard two years ago as the lea
que candidate and who was defeated
by over eleven hundred votes in the
district, tried to play a smooth game
of politics by pussyfooting around I'M
til the last day allowed for filing and
then got to the auditors office with
his petition a few minutes after time
to close filing of petitions-but he
would have been allowed to file, just
the same only for one thing-he did
not have enough signers by ninety to
allow him to file. He was asleep for
the past two years and forgot that
the women voted. If he should go to
the Legislature if he displays the same
alertness somebody would have to
wake him when it was time to vote.
Don't send a dead one to Bismarck
when you can elect a live one. Mr..
johnson is reported to be running on
stickers. We hope this is so. The
more the merrier and the more pep it
will put into this fifteenth district leg
islative campaign.

"Time will undoubtedly bring to the
Harding administration a worldwide
approval of it's course in declining to
send representatives to Genoa or The
Hague to attend conference which
would recognize the Soviet govern
ment of RUSSIA, declares the Republi-
can Publicity Association, through its
President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne Jr.
president Harding's decision was
based upon fundamentally sound rea-
sons, and, though certain European
interests may be temporarily displeas-
ed, they will ultimately realize that
the course pursued by the United
States was best for the permanent
welfare of Europe and the world. To
recognize the Soviet regime and ex-
tend it a loan of the desired billion
dollars would not lead to restora-
ton of industry in Russia. The billion
dollars would be used directly or in
directly to maintain the military or
ganization by which the Lenin gov
|ernment keeps itself in power. If the
money should be directly employed in
industry, other funds to correspond
ing amount would be withdrawn from
industry, to support the military or
ganization. The whole bolshevik
scheme of confiscation, euphoniously
called NATURALIZATION, is unsound
and must ultimately fall. A loan to
the Soviet government cannot afford
even a temporary relief to the Rus
sian people. Pouring American mon
ey into the vaults of an international
thief would but encourage the thief to
continue in his evil ways. It would
afford him the means Of supporting
himself in his nefarious business. Ger
tain European nations would like to
see the United States extend direct
aid to Soviet Russia for they would
be the immediate beneficiaries of ev-
cry dollar so spent. In the end, how
ever, they will see the futility of such
compromises with dishonor land will
commend the wisdom and courage
which guided President Harding in
refusing to temporize with Bolshe-
vism." "

ture, but we can make a mighty good

John McGran, who represents the
United Travellers at the convention,
and was their speaker last night at
the auditorium sounded a note that
had the true ring of American citizen
ship to it. He stated that we must get
together on one broad platform of
American citizenship to put and keep
North Dakota on a level with every
loyal state in the union. He contend
ed it was no time for partizanship,
but that democrats, independents and
republicans should stand firmly to-
gether until every Objectionable ele-
ment had been forever wiped out in
North Dakota. John McGran does
not claim to be an orator but he has
a way Of giving some mighty good
talks that have the right ring to them
Bill LANCER is not meeting with
very much success in his endeavor to
discredit the administration of Gov.
Nestos. His vituperations delivered to
those he talks to do not seem to
strike a popular chord. The occasion
for Langer's appearance in the cam
paign against Nestos, at this time, is
not because he thinks the Nestos adj
ministration has failed, but because
the germ of jealousy is ranking in
his soul. LANCER cannot Justify his
position now as against his position
when he ran for governor. The issues
are the same and if he was right then
he is wrong now. He is a sort of
weather vane and is guided by his
own personal feelings and emotion.
In this particular instance nothing
more than jealousy prompts him to
get out and rave against the Nestos
administration. He will gain no con-
verts to his cause.
