know that if he is again placed in
power he will go lot stronger than
getting a twenty thousand dollar
house when the law said he should
get house costing five. He so flag
rantly violated the laws Of the state
while he was attorney-general that it
is not presunling too much to figure
that if he goes into power again he
will do the same thing only on much
larger scale. The better plan for the
farmers of the state at this time I'M
der the circumstances is to let we'll
enough alone and return Gov. Nestos
to office. He has proven to be square,
competent and honest, and those are
the main essentials needed for those
holding office.
If you are in any doubt as to the
effectiveness of the emergency tariff
law passed by the Republicans as
soon as they came into power, you
need look no further than the fact cit
ed by Chairman John T. Adams of
the Republican National Committee,
who remarks that "within thirty days
after the enactment of the farmers
tariff the price of wheat in Minneap-
oils and Chicago was higher than the
price of like wheat in Winnipeg, which
was a reversal Of conditions existing
prior to the enactment of this tariff.
Since that time the wheat in Mime
apolis has been consistently higher
than Winnipeg prices''. The Republi-
cans did not promise or expect to re-
lieve the farmers at once and COM
pletely from the depression into which
they were thrown by the Democratic
administration. For eight years the
Wilson regime Disseminated against
the farmers. The Democratic party
always has it's mind on the consumers;
never on the producers. The Republi-
cans did all that could be done to
help get farming back to norbal-en-
acted the emergency tariff, revived
the War Finance Corporation, and
provided additional funds for the
Farm Loan Board. This was rot class
favoritisn1-it was merely an effort to
make some amends for the unfair
conditions imposed upon the farmers
by the government during the Demo-
cratic administration.
The Ku Klux Khan has invaded
North Dakota, the first meeting of
this much talked about organization
being held in grove twenty-five
miles west of Grand Forks on Mon
day of this week. It is reported that
several hundred knights were present
at the conclave. The Ku Klux Khan
is an organization that goes about in
mysterious way it's business to per-
form, the members wearing masks
and robes. In various states in the
union it has been cutting large fig
ure of late in state politics, and the
!. organization seems to be growing very
rapidly. We do not know just what
this organization stand for, but want
to state that we do not approve Of
any organization that needs to g<

say anything confirmatory on that.
