SHOULD ACCEPT JAMESTOWN
VERDICT

Any candidate for public office
who permits his name to go before
the Jamestown convention next
month for Endorsement should abide
by the result of that convention.
In other words if any person
seeks the official Endorsement of the
Republican party at Jamestown he
should be bound to rest his case Who'll
ly with that convention.
If he is willing to accept the con-
vention's Endorsement of his own can
didacy he should also be willing to
accept the conventions Endorsement
of an opposing candidate. -,..... ~.
Either the convention expresses
the will of the Republican voters of
North Dakota or it doesn't. If it
doesn't there is no reason why any
candidate should seek it's Endorsement
If it does, then each candidate should
accept the verdict of the convention
whether it advances his own politi-
cal fortunes or not. IT,
In this matter of party discipline
the members of the Nonpartisan lea
que, who assembled here last week,
provided very good object lesson.
When the delegates arrived in Fargo
they were divided into numerous fac
tons; they threshed out their differ
ences on the floor of the convention
and reached decision which elinin-
ated virtually everyone who had tax
en- an active part in the fractional
quarrels.
The men who >were eliminated did
not sulk, openly at least, but they
accepted the verdict of the conven-
ton. There was no talk Of any other
league candidates and even Mr.. Lied
|erbach and his fellow committee
members who were rather summarily
ousted from their jobs, promptly is
sued a statement declaring that they
would support the league ticket and
the new state executive committee.
This is an example which the in
dependent republicans of the state
might we'll follow.
The republican convention will be
a thoroughly representative one, or
if it is not the fault will lie with
the voters who will have every OPP
portunity to make their wishes be
known through the precinct caucuses
and the district conventions.
The time for voters to take stand

on questions Of politics and choice of
candidates is when they chose their
delegates to the convention. These
delegates will 60 as representatives
Of the 100000 Independent republic
can voters of the state. If any candi-
date recognizes them to be such rep
resentatives and submits his candi-
dacy to them for approval he should
accept their decision as final, no mat
ter what it may be.
North Dakota is represented in the
United States senate by one Nom
partisan. He owes his seat to the
fact that the opposition to him was
divided. The independent republican
voters of the state cannot afford to-
enter another senatorial campaign
with divided forces. If they do,
there is very grave danger that two
Nonpartisans will represent the State
Of North Dakota in the upper house
of congress. ra Er..
Any candidate, therefore, who plac-
es the welfare Of his party and Of his
state above his own personal ambit-
ions will be willing to submit his
candidacy to this convention and
abide by its decision. If he seeks the
Endorsement of the convention and
failing to secure it attempts to divide.

of the state, he should be treated as
one who would wreck his party for
the sake of advancing his own SELF

WHAT THEY STAND, FOR

More than one-third of all the mon
ey expended by the homebuilders' as
ISOLATION was poured into one gener-
al pot, and there is no trace of what
became of it, according to the audit
report which has just been made pub
lie. -.
In other words, more than $160, 900
was spent by the state in building
houses, without any record being kept
of what house any particular item
should be charged to. It is little Won
der that the homebuilders' associa-
ton was unable to give even a very
rough estimate Of the cost of any
dwelling it erected This. sum is the
equivalent of nearly $4,000 for each
house built by this association.
/ Only one example of how the cost
Of houses was estimated need be cit
ed. The house built for Mr.. J. N.
Hagan, former commissioner Of agri-
culture and labor, showed itemized
costs of $500. OF this sum only
$3.50 was listed as the cost of lum-
Der and S2.35 as the cost of hard
ware. In other words, the cost Of
the remaining lumber and hardware
was drawn from the general pool for
no itemized account was kept of it.
1t must also be remembered that it
was against the law for the state to
build any kind of house for Mr.. Ha-
gan while he was holding the posit-
ion that he did as one of the members
of the industrial commission lin full
charge Of the homebuilders' depart
ment.
And yet, the voters of North Dako-
ia are asked to approve of just such
methods as these by voting for Lynn
j. Frazier for United States senator,
Senator Baker for governor and Sen
ator Church for commissioner of ag-
riculture and labor.
Mr.. Frazier was one of the three
men responsible for such business
methods and Senators Baker and
Church were two Of the three state
senators who signed the senatorial
Investigating committees report
which whitewashed the entire Frazier
administration and put the stamp of
official approval on the business met
hods Of the homebuilders' association.
If Senators Baker and Church are
elected to the offices they seek they
will constitute a majority Of this in
dustrial commission. If they approve
such business methods as this report
reveals, there is no reason to believe
that they will not continue such met
hods when they( themselves take Of
fice.-Fargo Forum.

A day or two ago the Times-Rec-
ord editorially commented on the fact
that the industrial commission had
gotten out report printed without
the union label. This morning we
received the following note in our
mail from Editor Mann, of the Bis
marck Tribune: "Have noticed your
editorial in re industrial commission
report. This was not printed in Bis
marck but at Mandan in a non-union
shop. If it had been printed by The
Tribune it would have had the union
label. 1t just occurred to me that
you would like to be put right on
the matter and that you would not
knowingly do injury to fellow
craftsman" Editor Mann is right.
We would not willingly do any man
an injustice and did not accuse the
Tribune but just simply said that a
Bismarck concern printed that re-
port. So much for cleaning the
skirts of The Tribune which we knew
was union shop, but that does not
clear the skirts of the industrial COM
mission and under the law that COM
mission has no legal right either to
accept or pay for that work. If one
non-union shop can do this work and
get by with it this shop can and the
sooner we get down to square deal

pense. Does the new system give us
any advantages not contained in the
old to pay US for the extra trouble
and expense? Why keep the state
in political turmoil for nine months
during an election year when no BEN
efits are received from it? A return
to the. old system might show more
benefits than that of reducing the
expenses Of election years. \

Now that the new league commit
tee has taken charge and the pick
ings have gone from hand, Aaron
Liederbach, who has been bossing
the league for the past year, has de-
cided to leave the state and settle on
his fruit ranch in California. 1t is
funny how quick man loses inter-
est in the dear people when he has
to let go the handling Of the funds.
Mr.. Liedcrbach, however, has his
fruit ranch to go to. Like all other
politicians of like stripe the minute
he sees nothing in sight for himself
he deserts the cause like rats desert
sinking ship-that is about as
much interest he and his like have
about the farmers program. If the
farmers program is of such vital in
terest why should Aaron leave the
state now that he is fired from the
committee? We should think he
would remain here and fight in the
ranks like the rest of 'em if it is
good thing for us.

Chief Justice r. NJ. Grace refuses
to accept the endorsement of the
league convention for nomination for
reelection. The chief justice can
read the hand writing on the wall
just as plain as the next one. About
one-half Of the league ticket has been
repudiated already. They do not
seem to care for nominations or en-
dorsements Of the league these days

answering Mr.. Bonhus he can do so
at the regular advertising rates. This
paper throws it's columns open to all

If North Dakota could only go in
to a convention and settle the SEN
atorship as easily as did Minnesota,
we could go up to jamestown in a
few days, nominate a candidate to
run against Frazier, go home, and
take off our coats and work for the
election of that candidate. Minneso-
ia republicans have a habit of put
ting things over and candidates abid-
ing by the convention choice. But
here in North Dakota we expect to
see several candidates go before the
convention, one of them getting the
endorsement, then the disappointed
ones going out and running just the
same. What sense is there in a can
didate going into convention if he is
not willing to stand by the verdict of
that convention?

Miss Fanny C. Amidon, when
questioned as to her endorsement By
the nonpartisan league convention in
Fargo recently, stated that she was
not a candidate for any office, that
she was taking no part in politics
and was surprised that her name
should have been used in the conven-
ton as she had not given any per
mission for her name to be placed
before the convention for any state
office. Miss Amidon was quite en-
phatic in her statement that she had
no intention of entering the race for
the nomination as state superintend-
ent of public instruction. The Times
Record was promised statement by
Miss Amidon, refusing the endorse
ment of her name, for today's issue.
This statement was not forthcoming
and when Miss Amidon was called b.
phone this morning for the statement
she informed the office that she had
sent the statement to the Courier
News for publication and that it
would be necessary for the local pa
pers to copy it from the Fargo pa
per as she considered it proper for
the league organ to have the right
of prior publication. This we did not
feel like doing, so we give her state
ment as given to US.

That the burden Of taxtion presents
one of the most serious problems
confronting the American people was
indicated at a recent hearing before

state. One of the speakers before
the commission, heavy tax payer,
declared that one-third Of the taxes
are delinquent, that many pieces Of
farm property will not rent for
enough money to pay the taxes, and
that the tax rate in his country is
higher than the tax rate in Germany

1t is difficult to understand upor
what kind of platform Former Gov.
ernor Lynn J. Frazier will run fol
United States Senator at the prima.
ry election. The record back of Fra
zier betrays a man of incompetent
official character. His tenure of Of
flee in Bismarck was marked by the
most profligate waste and extrava-
giant expenditure, not to mention in
efficiency, in the history of the state
and no doubt in the history of the
nation. The losses suffered by the
Industrial commission, as disclosed
by recent Investigations, point to Fra
zier directly the finger Of RESPONSE
bility. AS chairman Of this commits
sion, he must have been aware of
what was going on and as a public
official he should have clamped down
the lid of extravaganza. If he now
pleads that he did not know what
was happening, the indictment
against him becomes all the more Sc
we're. The scandalous disclosures of
the northumberland bank will
ever stand out as black mark
against Mr.. Frazier and his former
partners in government. We do not
think that the dignity Of the U. S.
Senate, if there is such thing as
dignity there, will be helped any ~by
making Mr.. Frazier member of it,
since in a lower public office he was
so devoid of dignity and competency.

There was a great huhbub and
roar over the campaign fund used by
Senator Newberry, Of Michigan, to
get elected to the United States SEN
ate. He spent something over two
hundred thousand dollars among two
or three million people of that state.
Now the Courier-News and the lea
que committee want to raise $4,000
to spend among about seven hundred
thousand people to elect Frazier to
the senate, which in comparison with
the population of Michigan is a great
big graft. What do we need with
such campaign fund as that to
elect Frazier, or anybody else in this
state. We are inclined to think that
if those in charge Of the campaign
get hold Of that much money for
campaign purposes it is going to be
profitable to some folks.

DESTRUCTIVE WOLF IS CAUGHT

Hunter Bud Webley has trapped
the Hanford Wolf" That was the
welcome message received one day
in September by the predatory ami
NAL inspector of the United States
Department Of Agriculture at Olym-
pia, Wash. For two and half years
this elusive marauder had preyed on
the herds and f1ocks for miles around.
and for months the canny hunter
had laid traps for him. From state
ments made by stockmen it is pro-
bable that this single worlf has kill
cd at least $4,000 worth of live
stock.
The trap that finally closed on the
killer was carefully concealed in
trail. The wolf dragged trap and
chain nearly Z miles before the hunt
er overlook and shot him. The tape
line showed him to be feet and 5
inches from tip to tip. The skin and
skull will be sent to the Biological
Survey at Washington, D. c.
