World under the management and auspices of
Nonpartsan League and Labor forces of Ram
sey County. After this issue The World be-
comes the property of and will be personally
managed by B. A. Stefonowicz, business man

man who is perfectly able to paddle his own
canoe. He is a man in the prime Of life who has
made success Of various ventures, such as
Journalism. farming and investments. He doubt
less purchased The World because it is good

THE UNITED STATES SENATE ON TRIAL.

The UNITED STATES SENATE ON TRIAL.
The United States Senate has been on trial.
The case may be cited as Newberry VS.. the Sen
ate of the United tates, and the Senate lost its
case by vote of 46 to A. Having decided to
lose it's case and to seat Mr. Newberry, the Sen
ate majority attached the following confession
"That whether the amount expended in
this primary was $195,000, as was fully
reported or openly acknowledged, or
whether there were some few thousand
dollars in excess, the amount expended
was in either case too large, much larger
than ought to have been expended. The
expenditure of such excessive sums in be-
half of candidate either with or without
his knowledge and consent, being con-
trary to sound public policy, harmful to the
honor and dignity of the Senate, and
dangerous to the perpetuity of free gov
ernment, such excessive expenditures are
hereby severely condemned and disapprov-
ed.'
Will this soothe the public wrath? Unfor
tunately the end is not yet reached for the fina
verdict is to be passed by the voters who have
also been sitting as jurors on this case. What
do the American voters say? Will they indorse
or condemn the nine Republican Senators who
refused to vote with the party leaders, but stood
squarely on the issue of honest elections? The
nine who stood out joined by solid Democratic
vote were :sBorah, Capper, Jones, Kenyon, Ladd
LaFollette, Norbeck, Norris, Sutherland - Sen
ator Ladd.

Mr.. LANCER. The Nonpartisan Lea-
que corn not lend itself to the .counte-
nancing aof untruth. In justice to-
him, therefore, it was left that re-
traction should be made, and in
justice to the good names Of the Nom
partisan League Of North Dakota:
Second: That the principel defen-
dant VIM. Lemke, under whose con-
troll the paper was at the time pub
lished, and whose name appeared at
the head of the editorial column, had
left the state at the very day, al
most, that the case came to trial,
leaving the Executive Committee and
our attorney, Mr.. Harry Lashkowitz,
without information as to the source
Of the charge-if he had and-thus
throwing the responsibility upon men,
who had no previous knowledge of the
matter and without his cooperation OF
moral or legal support.
third: That the added expense
Of law suit at this time, under
present financial conditions, was un-
thinkable. Even had it been pos
sibe to secure evidence to make
showing in court, the cost of the pro-
cedure would have been far beyond
the satisfaction that might have been
gained by any possible successful is,
sue. The farmers Of North Dakota
need their money, not to fight legal
battles where dubious issue pends,
but to fight political battles for the
betterment of their conditions.
"To proceed with this suit would
have been a waste of money, pa
ticularly when the Committee arriv-
ed at the inevitable conclusion that
the statements made concerning the,
plaintiff were not substained by facts.
The Committee and our attorney feel
it is better to do right and follow the.
dictates Of justice, than to wage
wasteful and usless fight in definance
of both. For three years this case
has been pending in the courts. Had
it been possible to have brought it to
conclusion, it would have long since
been ended by those against whom it
was originally directed. These hav-
ing failed We have felt it our duty
to ourselves and the members of our
organization to end it, as it should
have been long since.
"In closing, we desire to record
our appreciation of the wise counsel
and prudent service rendered this
Committee by our attorney. Mr..
Harry Lashkowitz, who has been un-
failing in his support of the organiza-
tion and the men who have been.

Our readers should not become excited be-
cause Senator McCumber will succeed the late
Senator Penrose upon the senate finance COM
mittee. The progressive people of this state
have absolutely nothing to gain from change
from Penrose to McCumber. Both of these
men are old school reactionaries, and no pro-
gressive legislation ever got by either of them
The corporations and "Big Boys" are delighted
to keep that chairmanship in the same old
school of mossbacks which have controlled it
for many years. This advance in chairman
ships should not be permitted to aid Senator
McCumbers campaign for reelection among
the progressive voters of the Republican party
of this state-Mandan News.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY rs, 1922.
READING FIGHTING BOB OUT OF G. O. P

So the gang is going to read Bob LaFolette
out of the Republican party. 1t has not been so
long ago that people have forgotten it, that they
were going to eXpel Bob from the Senate for
disloyalty,. and the skids were creased to give
him the thrill of his life
That was just before the election; but the day
after the election the rascals who were arrogat-
ing to themselves all the patriotism of the coun-
try made all important discovery, which result
ed in changing their plans, and which also
changed Bob Gin their opinion) from a disloyal-
ist to a perfectly good Hooper cent patriot, his
vote being necessary to give the Republicans a
majority of one in the United States Senate -
along with the seat MI. Newberry paid paltry
100000 for
And for two years lot of men who had for
years treated him with contempt were fawning
at Bob's feet, and he was bully-good-f fellow,
having a buy-g -good-time.
Then while the people were. playing basket
ball with Jimmy Cox, greatly to the delight of
Bill Bryan, enough Republicans were allowed to
break into the Senate to give the party such a
big majority that they felt they could safely
return to their long established habit of giving
Bob the icy stare.
There is reason for or in everything - except
l. A. argument - and you may be sure there
is reason for the attempt which is now being
made to read Bob out of the g. o. p. Next to
McCumber, Bob is in line for the chairmanship
of the most important committee in the Senate,
which has always been held by man known to
be in thorough accord with the powers that be
- which is the almighty dollar. It is poor
politician who cannot see that Mr.. McCumber's
chances of reelection in North Dakota are about
equal to three whoops in Helsingfors, and that
the only way to keep Bob out of the coveted
Craftsmanship is to read him out of the party
A revolutionary and desperate proceeding, to
be sure, but see what is at stake.
The Dollar is no respecter of men, customs,
law or anything else when it's liberty to do as it
pleases is threatened.
And the Dollar has had one of it's own as
head of the Senate Finance Committee since
Heck was a pup, and it will continue to have one
so long as it retains it's power - which will be
quite while.
So the Dollar will play safe It will re-elect
McCumber if it can, but to be perfectly safe, it
will read Bob LaFollette out of the g. O. D.
And it will be perfectly good bet to say that
when Bob is read out Of the party, enough men
and women will follow him to make gap i
the ranks of the g. o. p. large enough to notice

CALLS THEM FINANCIAL PIRATES

Here is a statement of one of North Dakota's
prominent bankers as to his views regarding
the Federal Banking System:
ut is the most colossal, egotistical, mis-
managed, blundering institution that it was
ever my misfortune to observe l refer of
course to the Federal Reserve System
which, as you no doubt know, is really con-
trolled by the biggest speculative fnanciers
and their own selfish interests. They
force the money out of circulation thereby
the price of all farm commodities
and raise the rate Of interest and really, in
my opinion, try to make slaves of the farm
ing people. It seems to me that we need
some good men to lead us out of the influ-
ence of these financial pirates.''

The l. V. AS are making a grand holler for
efficiency and civil service methods WE'LL
here's sample of the kind they want: R. P.
Wilda of Webster, who was rural mail carrier
at Garske for two years. with splendid record
applied for similar job at Webster. H passed
the examination last April with marking of
$3.50, the highest score. In spite of this fact
H. w. Sonneborn of Starkweather, who, con-
trary to postal regulations, was not resident of
the territory to be served, was appointed. His
marking in the examination was 75.1O. His
appointment was secured thru the recommends
tion Of Congressman "Burtie" Burtness. The
fact that Mr.. Wida was known to favor the
Nonpartisan League may have had something
to do with the effort to put over this sample
