THE PRICE OF WHEAT

The opposition, with their usual cam
paign tactics of diverting the attention
OF the voters from the real issues Of
the campaign by raising false issues,
have claimed that the state administra.
tion is responsible for the recent fall
IN grain prices. This CLAIM Is 80 sillv
that it seems almost incredible that
any voter should be deceived thereby.
Yet, have been informed that there
are men who believe even such state
ment. :. s. '
1t must be plain to all thinking men
that the administration has no power
to influence the rise or fall of grain
prices. It is a product Of the world
markets and the rise and fall in price
is governed altogether by national and
international conditions over which
the state administration has no contro,
If the state administration has had
the power to influence the rise and fal,
in grain prices, then surely Governor

fact is that neither Frazier in 1920 nor
in 1922 had any power to prevent the
decline. It was caused BY condition,

ECONOMIES OF BOARD
OF ADMINISTRATION

f The new State Board Of Administers
tion, which controls the state institu-
tions, after an investigation into the
methods adopted by tho Board during
the previous administration, has affect
ed reorganization Of the different de-
partments so as to insure their func.
tioning with greater efficiency and less
waste than in the past.
Among the things discovered in their
investigation was shortage Of $12, 1000
in the supply department., which the
members Of the Board attribute chief
" to carelessness and ineffciency.
It was also discovered that materials
worth thousands Of dollars have been
allowed to 60 to waste or be sold for
junk, because Of tho lack Of care in
determining the needs Of the various
institutions.
Two Of the state institution were
found to be under-insured to such an
extent that their destruction by IRE
would have meant loss to the state
OF several hundred thousand dollars.
The practice Of the former purchas-
ing agent in grouping articles required
in such way that only few supply
houses could furnish all Of them, re-
suited In the state paying a higher
price for many supplies than was nee
essary. On ono article alone change
IN the method Of purchasing has re-
suited in saving equal to 55 per cent
Of the cost. ,5
The total value Of the property Of
the institutions under the direction Of
the Board was Il 1854 estimated a.

Tho primary election in June result
Cd in tho Republican nomination Of
ticket composed partly Of Independent
Republicans and partly of Leaguers.
Tho opposition have now put up COM
plete League ticket replacing those In
dependents who were nominated in tho
June primary by such as belong to
their own organization and are in SYM
pathy with their political ideals and
administration practices. It was re-
Gably reported as early as July that
Mr.. Frazier and other League nominees
as well as many of the League leaders
were in favor thus aga,n following
their usual practice and to indorse q
complete League ticket for the fall
election, and that this would be done.
The portion Of the League press
which is inspired by the League lead
ership, shortly thereafter commenced
to ask me to declare far in advance of
the campaign whom L was going to
support for Senator when their own
Mr.. Frazier, and other League nom.
inees on the Republican ticket refrain
cd from making any public declaration
Of their purposes, but were neverthe-
less known to be in favor Of a full
League ticket.
Their purpose in asking me to make
such statement was plain. They were
confident that with my knowledge of
Mr.. Frazier's party record, his record
as Governor of the state, and chairman
of the Industrial Commission, and his
attitude on certain fundamental doc
trines of Republicanism, that I could
not possibly support him for the Sen
'atorship, and that by making such a
statement in July or August, they
would then use it as an excuse for do
ing exactly what they had already de-
cidcd to do; to ignore the primary re-
suits and to put full League ticket
in the field.
The Ward County independent., 1922-11-02
FRAZIER HAS ALWAYS FOUGHT
REPUBLICAN NOMINEES

TRAILER HAS ALWAYS tOOIdI
REPUBLICAN NOMINEES
In this attitude neither the League
leaders nor Mr.. Frazier are inconsist-
ent with their political or party record.
They have supported in any state in
each election whatever party the time
best served their selfish or factional
purposes, and know no party fealty, or
loyalty to party principle and ideals.
Ever since Mr. Frazier came into prom
1nonce in public life he has refused to
abide by the results OF the republican
primaries, unless those results were as
he personally wished them to be. He
has never by word or deed recognized
that the verdict of our Republican
primaries had any binding affect upon
him or was entitled to any weight. In
stead of announcing his support of the
entire ticket nominated and urging all
Republicans, regardless of faction, to
abide by the result, he permits the
former Attorney General, recalled in
October, 1921, the man who during all
the administration of Mr. Frazier as
Governor. according to the Courier
News controlled the administration, to
name himself as candidate for Cover
nor and to fill the other places upon
the ticket which were not already filled
by persons satisfactory to him, by men
of his own selection. I am not refer
ring to these things in spirit of COM
planning; 1 am simply reciting facts.
1t is perhaps just as we'll that Mr..
Frazier and Mr.. Lemke did those
things. Mr.. Frazier's record ever since
he entered public life is, in the main,
record Of warfare and hostility to-
wards the Republican party.
In 1916, when he first became candi-
date for a state office with the endorse
ment Of the Non-Partisan League, but
upon the Republican ballot, he refused
to abide by the verdict of the Repub-
ican primaries and supported Demo-
crat for State Treasurer against the
candidate, Mr.. John Steen, who was
regularly nominated by the Republicans
IN June at the same time when Mr..
Frazier himself was nominated. In
1o18, he supported two men for Con-
frcss in the first and in the Third Con-
gresstonal Districts who he and his
friends induced to certify themselves
into tho Republican column, who had
been life long Democrats. The first
]. M. Baer, was appointed by President
Wilson to Office in North Dakota. The
other J. H. Sinclair, had been elected
to the State Legislature by the Demo
Gratis and always had been a Democrat.
In addition, it was reliably reported
and is generally understood that these
two men promised the Democratic
National organization to enter the
Democratic caucus and to act with the
Democrats if the House should thereby
be controlled by the Democratic party.
These things were known to Mr.. Fraz
Ter. He nevertheless, supported them
because they were willing to accept
the endorsement Of the faction to which
he belonged.
In 1920, he refused to support the
regularly nominated Republican candi
date for Congress in the First District,
Hon. O. B. Burtness, but supported
man who had always been Democrat,
who was nominated by petition, who
ran in the Independent column and

FEAR OF CHURCH
CONTROL OF OUR
GOVERNMENT ABSURD

Some sxcitable people at times be-
come greatly exercised over what to
them seems to be . danger that our
government will pass into the control
Of one of the many religious denomina-
tions which exist in this country. Some
times 1t is the Mormons tnat they fear
will secure control Of the government,
and sometimes it is some other denom-
ination. Certain papers have in tho
past traded on this fear for their own
gain, and unscrupulous political agi-
tators have at times tried to arouse
religious prejudices in order to assist
in bringing about the election or de-
feat Of certain candidaves. It may be
said, however, that the small effect
that this sort of propaganda usually
has shows the sound judgment and
good sense Of the overwhelming major.
ity of the people in this country.
A survey made by the Methodist
Church and published In the August,
1922, issue Of the Builder, magazine

Taking into consideration only tho
leading denominations in this country,
there are more Methodists, EpiscopaN-
ans, Presbyterians and Congregational
lists, and fewer Baptists, Lutherans and
Catholics in the two Houses in view
of the total membership Of the differ
ent churches. But the ordinary citizen
who calmly contemplates the situation
will not be greatly perturbed over any
danger Of one or the other of the vari-
GUS denominations seeking OF securing
control Of the government. If one
should try it all the others would i'm
get busy to prevent it. One
against the whole field would have no
