.Hillsboro, June 20.-@George r.
Shafer. Republican candidate for at
torney general on the Nestos ticket
spoke here last. night. Mr.. Shafer re-
viewed the political history of North
Dakota during the past half dozen
uation at the state capital when the
new administration took Office subse-
quent@ to the recall election; told in
detail what the Nestos administration
hadSdone. to change the situation for
the better. how economy had taken
the place OF extravagance. how eff
cheney had replaced carelessness and
waste. how the Bank of North Dakota
had been changed from political in
agency. and in<short, how the Nestos
administration had fulfilled every
promise made on the Devils Lake
platform and in speeches during the
recall campaign.
Tribute to Governor.
In outlining the future policy Of
the Independent administration. II re-
turned to power, Mr.. Shafer paid a
glowing tribute to Governor Nestos
for the splendid work he had done to
re-establish the credit of the state. He
also paid his compliments to the three
league candidates for the industrial
commission.
I'm my judgment" said Mr.. shafer.
"the one thing more than any other
which Governor Nestos has done,
which entities him to the unbounded
respect and confidence of the people
of North Dakota, is the effort which
he has made to re-establish the credit
Of the state. He has labored day in
and day out to induce outside bankers
and investors to return to North Da-
kota to invest their capital and to
inspire confidence among the people
Of other states in North Dakota and
its people. j.
'.He has addressed audiences of
bankers, business men and credit men
Of ST. Paul and Minneapolis. Duluth,
Milwaukee and Chicago in the interest
OF North Dakota's credit, and has ev-
iasm.
The results of his efforts are now
apparent to all who have an intelli
gent understanding of the credit rela-
tfons existing between this and other
J states. It is not too much to say that
the Reelection Of Governor Nestos and
an Independent state ticket and legis-
lature this year will insure the COM
plete redemption Of North Dakota's 8
credit at home and abroad, and that
his defeat will result in a serious set
back, from which it will take the
state many years to recover.
Credit Needed.
''The importance of the credit
issue can not be over emphasized in
this campaign; it goes to the very
heart Of the whole situation. A states
credit. like that Of an individual, can,
by mistakes and misconduct, be COM
p1etely ruined for time; and al
though a state may, like a wayward
individual. who has wasted his sub
stancc.and lived a ,riotous life. slowly
regain its4credit, 1t can. only do 80 aft
er long periods Of penitence and
gradual redemption, but. like the per-
SON, it will carry the marks of dis
sipation to the next generation. Surely
our people have. by this time. had
enough Of radicafism, and will now
turn from the false prophets who
have and are leading them away from
the paths of experience and sound
judgment. and return again to the
main highway Of progress. which was
trod by our fathers, the pioneers of
North Dakota
Put Up to 'Ie4Euers.
Mr.. Shafer also paid his compli-
