Dakota Primary Victory
for Nonpartisan League
Omaha Bee Leased Wire.

Washington, June 3O.-The out
come of the republican primary in
North Dakota appears to be a VIC
tory for the Nonpartisan league IN
naming the republican candidate tor
senator, former Governor Lynn j.
Frazier, but defeat for the league
in the effort to regain complete con-
troll of the state government, to re-
vive the original socialistic program
of state industries.
The defeat of Senator McCumber
for denomination may fairly be at
tributed, in part, to the revolt against
conservative craftsmanship. mani
tested in the primaries in various
parts of the country and partly to
the dissatisfaction of the republicans
in North Dakota with McCum5er,
who they thought had not aided them
in their fight to extirpate the Non
partisan league.
Frazier, who was recalled from
the governship of North Dakota last
year, is known as radical, hut in
the senate he is likely 20 prove much
less radical than he is painted as has
been the case of DR.. Ladd, the first
senator put over by the Nonpartisan
league.
Senator Ladd said today that Fra
7ier is "a progressive republican of
the modern school" compared with
McCumber whom he called a
staunch uncompromising republi-
can of the old school"
The nomination of Governor Mes
tos means a rebuff for the Eonpar-
tisan league as to its state program
and the continuation of the middle of
the road policy inaugurated by the
new governor when he succeeded
