bother the people as it has been in
this election. The rank and file voter
OF North Dakota is more concerned
ABOUT getting our state government
into the best hands possible than any
thing else. The big issue that over
shadows everything else is expressed
IN the question. ';shall our state gov
ernment be turned back into the
nands OF the league leaders with
Townley and Lcmke behind the cur
tains now as before or shall the l. ".

Election Laws Faulty.
Our election laws now make it i'm
possible for the voters of the state to
lineup rs they wish to line up on state
matters without putting in jeopardy
their party organization. maintained
Tor the promotion of political prin-
clples that have to do with the ma
ton only. This makes it difficult for
the honest unselfish citizen to do what
he would like to do and easy for the
trickster to prevent the real will of
the people to be expressed at the
polls. In the campaign which is now
closing, the Independent forces have
not only had the opposition of the
Nonpartisans. Attacks have been
made from two angles. led by men
who have posed as Independents.
One little group in the Republican
camp thought they could get the anti
Townleyites to forget that honest ad-
ministration of public affairs is Of
more consequence to North Dakota
Just now than the question of whether
the mill at Grand Forks is to be COM
pleted and tried. They have, how
ever. failed entirely in their effort.
The other group which is operating
against the success of the Nestos
ticket is the so-called anti-F'usion
group among the Democrats. Those
fellows forced the loyal Democrats to
either surrender the party orsaniza-
tion in their counties to the Town
leyites or to not vote for Nestos. In
most instances the Democrats have
demonstrated that they love North
Dakota more than they do their own
ambitions and even their party and
have decided to take chance on let
ting the Nonpartisans get the organi
zatlon in order to give the Nestos
ticket every vote they can.
Majority Want Nestos.
The Nestos majority in the state is
more than $4,000 right now but the
whole Nestos majority will not show
up in the primaries because some
Nestos supporters will stay in the
Democratic primaries in order to
keep the Townleyites from getting
control of the Democratic organiza-
,icn in their county.
THE voters of the state have indi-
Gated. in, various ways that even
involved in the election, they are not
willing that these shall*'in any way
