lie to the propaganda that retired
him for governor"
The N. p. l.. man talked with
beat and deep-seated sincerity. He
believes all he said and more. He
believes the reactionists in the
country are going to get what he
thinks II coming to them.
SILENT IN SEVEN LANGUAGES.
asked our I. v. A. man what
caused the, defeat of McCumber,
who had served In the Senate
twenty-four years. He fired up,
too. Nobody who talks politics
takes II cooily. Lis q hot propo-
sition. To be sure. there are
many who do not talk at all and
many who did not vote In the
recent senatorial primary between
Frazier and McCumber.
THE Non-Partisan LeaKue
didn't have a thing to do with the
defeat Of McCumber. though Of
course they voted solidly against
him. McCumber is liked and his
record generally is not disap-
proved. He defeated himself be-
cause when the Non-Partisan
League first began its activities
McCumber was quiet. He said
nothing and did nothing to stem
the tide. When others were in
viting destruction by fighting the
league, McCumber was silent In
seven languages. Most Of US
voted for him to beat Frazier.
but we had no enthusiasm for
him because he failed to help US
when the league was in its first
wind and defeating US all over
tn State"
As proof that McCumber's de-
feat cannot be called a Non-Parti-
san League victory. the I. v. A.
man pointed out that Governor
Z Nestos won reelection by as big
q majority as McCumber lost out
by. and he said: "Nestos was par.
ticularly Objectionable to the Non
partisan League and they were
more anxious to have the COVER
nor than a Senator" That Is one
side. There is another side.
CUSsING THE COURTS.
There 10 much bitterness here
about the Supreme Court The
day when courts escaped criticism
has passed. 1t Is not the farm
ers and laborers this time who
are criticizing the courts. The
bankers and business men, or the
most prosperous Of them. are We
hement in dsnunciation Of the
Supreme Court. "An the ques.
tion they ask" said a big bust
ness man, '.is: Which is the
Non.Partisan League slider and
they decide that way regardless of
the law. We will fix the court in
November"
asked q Non-Partisan League
man what he had to say Of that
comment. "It Is all the proof
needed that not even q fair and
honest court can escape the
slander Of the profiteerins class.
They hate anybody who 10 not
willing for them to exploit the
farmers. Tho Supreme Court has
stood rs the barrier against un-
constitutional destruction Of the
rights OF the people. And now
they are resolved to destroy It
They are the destructionists. We
are for constructive policies"
WILL FRAZIER BE ELECTED!
These are the views in the su.
per-heated section Of North
Dakota where the Non-Partisan
League is in the majority. Next
week will be In Fargo and
Grand Forks and will seek to
give an impression Of the sitpa-
ton as I find It there. Also will
touch upon the nvest topic here:
Can Frazier be elected to the
Senator VIII the Independent
Voters Association vote for him
