resignation TO GOV. NeSIOS DIS q iHei'-
Der of the board of administration to
take effect April 30. Mr.. Totten
wanted a little longer time in order
to give him a chance to engage in
private business. Mr.. Cahill might as
we'll follow suit. The resignation OF
Mr.. Totten and the appointment OF
another member to take his place in
sympathy with the present admins
tration, will give the independents a
majority of the board.
The one thing that the league bunch
is going to concentrate on in the COM
ing election is the state Legislature.
They want to control that and it they
are successful in doing so many OF
the laws that the socialist bunch have
put on the statute books cannot be
repealed-and there are many OF them
that should be. We have too many
bureaus, too many commissions, and
too much taxation. We should elect
legislature that will curb every one
of the things we have just mentioned.
The people are getting tired of this
terrific taxation now being imposed
upon their backs. We should go back
to the taxation of 1916 and curb our
expenses to meet the tax levy Of that
time. It is time to retrench along all
lines instead Of adding more to it.
The Sanborn Enterprise in a local
item says that it understands that r.
R. Trubshaw is to be candidate Tor
the state senate. This is an uninten-
tional error on the part of our good
friend Editor Mexican. Senator F. +.
Plovhar is senator from the fifteenth
district and is an holdover. The ed
itor of this paper, however, is can
didate for the house Of representa-
tives and intended making an an
nouncement little later on, but since
the Enterprise has made this state
ment we might as we'll say so at this
time. Mr. Grangaard has moved to
Minneapolis, otherwise we would not
in any sense become a candidate. He
made the district one of the best men,
bers that ever represented Barnes
county. We have felt that we could
represent the district creditably IT the
voters favored US by an election, and
believe that our fight the past few
years for a~safe and sane government
should get US support from those who
have believed in the independent cause
regardless of whatever mistakes we
might have committed otherwise.
About this matter we shall have more
to say later on, in the meantime we
hope our friends throughout the fiji
teenth district will give our candi-
dacy favorable consideration.
There is quite little sentiment in
many quarters that Senator Frank E.
Ployhar of this city, and state senator
for the past twelve years from the
fifteenth district of Barnes county,
become a candidate for United States
senator. Many people have express
ed this to US, and while Frank is up
at Bismarck looking after business
matters and does not know that we
are writing this editorial, it won't be
amiss for us to say that he is very
good timber. Mr.. Ployhar is good
legislator, has had lot Of experience,
is possessed Of poise that give him
good judgment before making move
and if he should be sent to the SEN
ate he would represent North Dako-
ia faithfully and efficiently. Mr..
Ployhar is a man where you always
know Just where to find hinl-there
is no camouflage about him and if he
undertakes to do a thing and tell you
he will do it, you can rest assured
that he will carry out every pledge.
He is a good fellow to boot, and per-
sonally we like him so we'll that we
would be pleased to see him elected
to that position. North Dakota would
at least have one man in the United
States senate who would have the
interests of the state at heart and
in our judgment would make real
representative for the people Of this
state in the upper house Of our ma
tional congress. If Senator Ployhar
wants this job we are going to be a
good booster for him, you can bet
your life.
