REAL FACTS
AND FIGURES
A QUESTION OF PATRIOTISM.

Gratis boiling the ticket because it is
headed by Socialist. The paper asks
why the Republicans in certain states
where they have named men of the
Sweet stamp for the senate are not
bolted by Republicans, and refers es-
pecially to North Dakota, Wisconsin
and Iowa
In these states the independent Re
publicans HAVE BOLTED. Unfortun-
ately in Wisconsin they have no DEM
ocrat party to speak of and so these
Republicans have no real Democrat
candidate to support.
In North Dakota the Democrats and
Republicans are working for fusion
ticket, the candidate for Governor be-
ing one who in the past has been affili-
ated with the Republican party, while
the candidate for United States Sen
ate against Lynn Frazier, ]. F. O'Con-
ner, is a Democrat and always has
been. Frazier through the use of the
Nonpartisan League in North Dakota
secured the nomination for Senator on
The Republican ticket as William E.
Sweet, through the use of that organ
cation and others, secured the nomin-
;tion for governor on the Democrat
ticket in Colorado. All printed matter
and letters going out from the fusion
'Republican-Democrat State Campaign
Committee" The regular Republicans
of North Dakota have no more use for
he wild ideas Of the Nonpartisan
League candidate forced on them, than
had the regular Democrats of Colo
RADIO for the Nonpartisan League can
didate forced on them for Governor.
In Iowa the situation is even more
pronounced. Smith Brookhard who
gained the Republican nomination for
Senator by working among the farm
crs with "class conscious" idea, the
same idea the radicals have used in
Colorado in the Democrat fold, secur-
ed the Republican designation for Sem
ator. Much of his attack was direct
ly against Senator Cummins and SEN
ator Cummins is not supporting Brook
hard
Independent Republicans became so
incensed that a meeting Of represent
atives from all parts OF the state was
called in Des Moines, October End.
Former Governor B. F. Carroll pre-
sided at this meeting. Republicans
who had long been foremost in the po-
litical life of that state. attended and
spoke; all denouncing Brookhard and
his policies. He was charged with
seizing the nomination "by trickery,"
and zone who. II elected, would ad-
vance the movement which would bring
us the dissolution Of Russia under So
vietism."
In Oklahoma which was not referred
to in the Sentinel editorial, the same
forces that nominated William E.
Sweet for Democrat on the Democrat
ticket for Governor, nominated one,
Walton, and the independent Demo-
Gratis Of that state, end with them a
large number of Republican newspa-

candidate, Fields, for Governor.
In truth, in large number Of states
a radical organization inspired and di-
rected by socialists, has concealed its
purpose under the name Of 1.-THE Con-
ference for Progressive Action" and
stolen nominations on both Democra.
and Republican tickets. But in every
instance the safe and sane people who
know what is back Of this movement
have forgotten party utilization in the
interest Of true AmericaniGm.
The movement of the independent
Democrats in Colorado to vote for Der
Griffith is growing every day. They
recognize that their party, as do the
Republicans in North Dakota and To-
wa, has passed into the hands of the
socialists. In voting for Sweet, they
feel that instead Of voting for a DEM
