cided as vet whether or not he will

All these men are known to be
bitterly opposed to the Nonpartisan
League program and their candi-
dacies are likely to throw some
monkey wrenches into the iva ma
chinery.
H. l.. Stegner, in making his an
nouncement, bitterly assailed both
the Nonpartisan League and iva.

of the entire industrial program.
He said in part: Il favor scrapping
all the state industries. II favor
turing the key in the Bank OF
North Dakota. l am opposed
to the completion of the mill and
elevator 80 l am a Republican
and opposed to the conspiracy to
sell out the Republican party and
elect Democrats to Office, to place
their henchmen in favored places
under the ~flimsy guise of fighting
state socialism.

the endorsement OF the rump Re

withdraw in favor of men on th'
other ticket after the primaries, i
the bosses decide they shall.
