The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1922-10-05

"A
cutors. That's our opinion and it may
lot border on christianity, but the
world will never be christianized un-
til the Turks are dead.
Tonight we are to nave as the polit-
ical speaker of the evening, Hon. J.
F. T. O'Connor, who has the united
endorsement of the independent voters
of North Dakota for United States
senator. The gentleman will need no
introduction to a Barnes county aud
fence, because he has been here on
previous occasions. During the recall
election Mr.. O'Connor went out and
worked faithfully and hard for the
success of that ticket and we won out,
and his help was a big factor in that
memorable campaign. He asked no
reward at that time but went out as
a loyal citizen of this state to do his
bit toward putting North Dakota back
on the map. Surely the people of
Valley City tonight as we'll as those
of the country districts will come in to
that meeting and listen to what he
has to say as an appreciation of the
good work he has done for us. Let US
show him by our presence that we ap-
preciate him and give one of the big
gest audiences of this political CAM
paign. Be an O'Connor booster to-
night and go to the high school gym
nasium at eight o'clock. Let's give
the next United States senator the
glad hand right.
Press dispatches state that j. W.
Deemy, nonpartisan of Bismarck,
has announced the circulation Of Pc
titions for his candidacy in opposition
to George M. Young. Deeny is the
man who was in charge of coal mines
under appointment by Gov. Frazier
when the executive seized them. The
one plank in his platform when he an
nounced his candidacy was the fixing
of the price of wheat at $3.50 pc,
bushel and the restoration of the price
regulating powers of the war finance
corporation. Mr.. Deemy's name will
be found among the list of "also rans''
after the election. Geo. M. Young has
been too good man for the second
district for any rabid nonpartisan to
displace him. He has been a hard
worker while in the congressional
chair and has always had the best in
terests of the district at heart He
has kept in touch with conditions here
at all times and has always been ready
to do anything in his power for his
constituents. He is popular with the
voters as result of his good work
and it will take more than nice sound
ing platforms to defeat him next No
vember.
We have it from the best kind of
league authority that George N. Ras.
mussen has consented to allow the
league forces to run him as an indie
pendent candidate for the legislature
from the fifteenth district Mr.. Ras
mussen is first class gentleman ano
is well thought Of in his locality. But
that does not say that he should be
elected. He will represent those
things in legislation that are diamet
really opposed to the platform of The
Independents of this state. The lea
cue when in control of the governor
ard legislature passed laws and Great
cd commissions and bureaus that neeC
i. repeating and taxation reduced. AS {
: candidate for the legislature from thu
fifteenth district P. r. Trubshaw wa
nominated on the republican ticket il
, the June primaries. He stands TO
f those things for which the indepen
dents have been fighting the past few
, years, and more than al. he has piedg
ed himself that if elected ne will! wor'
for and support such legislation a
G will tend to the reduction Of take
q and more retrenchment in state at
+ fairs. We have not a word to sa
f against Mr.. Rasmussen-he is lin
y. man-but there are principles involv
: ed which makes it imperative that
l;ne be drawn in the coming electlo,
We must either support the indeper
e dent nominee and put forth legisls
# ton that is in line with the indeper
e dent program, or we must elect tn
r. league candidate and give you ieagu
If legislation. We have been of the opil
r. ion that the people have had enoug
le Of the latter, and if we have we nor
C. &c have the independents of this dis
re riot get behind the independent repul
IS lican nominee and elect him on tt
t. seventh of November. With Mr.. Ot1
