Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1922-07-06

The average voters seems to be a
funny sort of a chap. Very seldom
lis an election held at which enough
people stay at home who could have
overcome any given majority. For
years thousands of people have given
time and money in fighting radical
propositions. Yet, at the election
last week, thouands of voters went
fishing or simply stayed at home
while the future credit Of the state
was at stake. It is said that party
from Fargo counted thrity-six Fargo
citizens at Detroit Lake, MINI. il
on hour who hadn't voted. It is safe
to bet that many Of them have help.
ed with work or money in past cleo.
tions to oppose the Nonpartisar
League. Yet, after one league de.
feat, many Of them Immediately lose
interest and prefer to go fishing
rather than take the trouble to vote
on election day. III
If we are to prize our rights o.
liberty and self-government, w
should certainly be willing to give {
few minus Of our time once or twic,
in two years to register our indi
vidual choice at the polls.

candidate for United States senator.

Porter j. McCumber, chairman of
the finance committee in the United
States senate and one of the leading
men of influence in that body, has
been defeated for the republican
nomination by Lynn j.. Frazier who
was recalled last year as governor.
North Dakota has pulled off many
queer political stunts in the past, but
this latest performance is in a class
by itself. The state set a record
last year when it was the first state
in history to recall governor. 1t
has set another record by voting nine
months later to elevate him to a
higher position. Of course, Frazier
as senator will be little fish in big
puddle while Frazier as governor was
a big fish in a little puddle. Those
of us who are opposed to the theo-
ries and performances Of the Non
partisan League in this state would
rather see the league control both
United States senators than we
would to see them control the COVER
nor's Office for the next two years
But it has been an unfortunate turn
of circumstances that has brought
the necessity for such choice.
Lynn j. Frazier was not secured
the republican nomination for Unit
ell States senator sold by the Nom
partisan League. He had to have
substantial support from leading OPP
ponents Of the league to secure the
nomination. When the Nonpartisan
League was intellectually oppos-
ing McCumber, and when a large
Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1922-07-06

number Of the leading /, v. AS
were also fighting him, it is perhaps
not surprising that he failed to win
the nomination. Then, too, thousands
Of independent democrats who have
Of late been registering as republicans
voted for Frazier to eliminate Nc
Cumber believing that Frazier would
be an easier man for the democrats to
beat this fall. There is no question
but that thousands of independent
republicans will vote for O'Connor
this fall rather than vote for Fra
zier. Whether or not O'Connor
can win, however, remains to be seen.
The Record holds no brief for Mr..
Me- umber's political course. We
realize that is has been a selfish one
during the recent hectic years in
North Dakota. There is no question
but that the leaders of the league
took benevolent attitude towards
McCumber's candidacy in 1915.
There is no question but that Nc
Cumber tried to place stumbling
blocks in the way of the independent
forces in the recall election. There
is no question that McCumber''s l,as
litical appointees were not all st!,
they should have been. Yet, in. d
der to punish McCumber, we have
had to punish ourselves. Had Mr.
McC umber taken little interest in
making the recall success, he would
have been renominated last week 4
When he rews rded Frank White with
the position of United States treas
urer after White had pulled the s:es-
ner-McHars trek in 1920, Mcc'lm-
her drove from his support many Ct
his lifelong friends. McCumbcr
states that he did not have any prior
agreement with White. That may
be true. Nevertheless, Whites action
in the 1922 election should have elm
mated him as timber for the Federal
position he received, and which he
could not possibly secure without Nc
Cumber's active support.
Many of the newspapers of the
state will use the expression, "poetic
JUSTICE" in commenting on McCum-
bers defeat. And it is true that
Nc umber men helped to elect Ladd
just as I. v. AS helped to nominate
Frazier. However two wrongs do
not make a right, and the time is
not far distant when North Dakota
will need a new deal which will call
for the elimination Of the league,
I. v. A. and Nice umberism, or what
ever one might wish to call that fac
ticn of the republican party now that
Mckenzie is no more. Cut-throat
politics practiced by both factions can
only result in inferior candidates be
ing elected to Office.
The vote shows that the league as
such is in the minority, but the gen.
eral situation needs considerable clar-
flying yet. .

The Record will be a sort Of a
Make-shift affair this week. We
held up day last week for election
returns. A three-day Fourth of July
celebration has been on in Linton.
In addition. we are short handed as
the Silent Partner in the firm is on a
twc-weeks' visit, and Herman Ber-
stheau, of the force, has taken an au-
spmobile trip to the Coast. The

Another big strike is looming up
as a result Of the vote by shop
mems unions, following cut in their
wages by the board. It is even pos
sible that complete tie-up Of rail-
way service may develop before snow
flies. The railroad man should have
decent salary. The railroad stock
holders should receive a decent re-
turn on his investment. And there
ought to be some way to keep the
public from suffering while the two
factions fight it out with each other.

Dust.

Springfield. Mass. May 3l.-The
greatest lighting main ever held in
New England. was staged last night.
There were no spectators and no BETS
none present Of the 100 or more sports
who had Travelled far yesterday to at
tend what is believed to be the biggest
cock fghting derby ever held in this
section, only to have the lighting pits
raided by state troopers.
Sixty prize fighting fowls captured
by the raiders were placed together in
a yard. The birds, the pick OF fanciers
from Rhode Island 10 Vermont, held
battle royal In the henyard with no one
present to cheer the sangulnary conf
bats. Today the yard was found Uttered
with dead and dying, Hike battlefield in
Flanders, while survivors. Scared ana
bleeding, strutted about the field OF car
mage, Growing challenges to those able
to take them up.
Forty OF the feathcred fighters, priced
by handlers from Hockanum. Conn, 10
Sacarappa, Maine. lay silent in the
dust. They had fought their last fight.
The surviving twenty birds were pacing
about the pile of dead fighters, appar-
entity exhausted after a long night or
battle. They were tied to a fence in
the hen-run at intervals which would
permit of no further combats.

Pittsburgh. Pa, May 31.-Despite
the denals Of officials Of the Pitts
burgh Steel company and the Nc
Keesport Tin Plate company, negotia
tons have been completed whereby
the Bethlehem Steel company. OF
which Charles NJ. Schwab Is the head
will take over the two concerns.
Schwab spent Monday afternoon and
evening In conference with tho heads
of both companies, and on his de
parture from the city for his summer
home at Loretto Monday night. n
highly placed steel man and a close
friend of Schwabs stated that &C
QUESTION Of the two plants. one the
largest tin plate producer in the
world and the other large manufac'
surer Of wire and wire products,

ehem Steel corporation.
Mr.. Schwab has been in Pittsburgh
on several occasions recently, and on
Monday evening had dinner at the
home OF Emil Winter, one Of the lare'
est interests in the Pittsburgh Steel
company. When Mr. Schwab came to
Pittsburgh last week in his private
car Loretto. he was accompanied by
President Crawford of the Mckees'
port Tin Plate company. These and
other conferences have been held i'll

When Mr.. Schwab was in Pitts
burgh he declined to make any state
ment regarding the contemplated

declared that to date he had made -

1t is learned, however, from an un'
questioned source that the deal for
the two companies has been closed.
Prices paid for the properties have
not been disclosed, but it is stated
that they reach high figures.
The McKeesport company is one OF
the most prosperous tin plate makers
In the country. It was the first to re-
