that is free from all such restrictions,
our foreign commerce can never have
| that substantial foundation so neces-
sary to permanent success.
A vote for Nestos and his collea-
CUES on that ticket is vote to retain
confidence and good government in
North Dakota and for sound and
business-like administration of the
peoples business. A vote for Baker
and his colleagues is guarantee that
the experiences of the past five years
with all it's mismanagement, graft
and incompetency will be the result.
Surely no voter with any degree Of
common sense, will entertain for a
minute the defeat of Gov. Nestos and
his colleagues. In six months he has
accomplished wonders and is keeping
every pledge made to the people. We
can see no reason why the people of
this state, recalling those men who
| were the head of the Frazier admin
istration, should vote to put some
more of the same kind back again.
Baker, candidate for governor on the
league ticket, has been senator in the
state senate, and voted solidly all the
time to put those socialistic theories
that have put heavy taxation burdens
upon the people. If elected governor
he pledges himself to carry out the
league program. 1nasmuch as. our
| Indebtedness has reached in the past
five years over nine million of dollars
and your taxes have increased three
or four times as much as they were
when Hanna relinquished the COVER
nor's chair, do you want more of this
kind of stuff or do you want reduc-
ton of taxes and expense all along
the line. If you have had enough of
maladministration and enough high
taxes vote the Nestos ticket. Why
should it require any study at this
time which ticket to vote. If the is
sues last fall were right and a ma.
jority of the people voted that they
were-then they are certainly right
now. There is only one issue at this
time. 1t is league and anti-league
competency and incompetency. The
1leaguers proved their inefficiency, tht
Nestos government has proved it's eff
ficiency in the short time it has con
trolled the administration.
Judge J. A. Coffey, of Jamestown

These men need to be taught some o:
the rudiments of good living and tina
clean conscience and more homes
endeavor to live right needs to be in
stilled into their hearts. Men in al
walks of life seem to take life to-
lightly. They get married and ar
responsible for the bringing into tn
world of families-some large AM
some small-and after few year
when the wife, breaking down unde
the burdens and care of MOTHERHOOD
and hard work in taking care of tn

like Judge Coffey, who, seeing tn
