O'Connor, Democrat, has better
than an even chance to defeat for
mer Governor Lynn Frazier, lab
eled Republican, for the seat in the
United States senate to be vacated
by Senator McCumber, Republican.
But before you jump to the con-
clusion that this means something
nationally, please be informed
that MIR. O'Connor is really the
candidate of the regular Republi-
can organization which is recogniz-
ed by the national Republican CON-
mittee and which was supplied with
funds In 1920 by Will Hays and his
associates.
For things are topsy-turvy here
and the fact that Mr.. O'Connor
who was nominated in the Demo.
cratic primaries, is openly support.
ed by the Republicans, means that
the Independent Voters associa.
ton, the organization created tc
combat the Non-Partisan league, il
delighted to administer another
defeat to the league.
O'Connor Best Bet
On the surface it would seem a.
If Mr.. OConnor should have mucl
the better of it, because in 1921
when he was running for governor
against Mr.. Frazier the latter VOL
by about five thousand votes, whil'
Mr.. Harding carried the state TO,
president by $4,000 majority. Mr
O'Connor is strong candidate
and one of the best speakers Nortl
Dakota has ever produced.
The general impression seems t
be that many of the votes whicl
Frazier received in the Republi
can primaries against McCumbe
will not 60 to him in the final cleo
ton as it is suspected that man,
voted for Frazier SO as to be abl
to defeat McCumber on the on

battle between radicals and con
servatives in this state is such tha
