The total vote (Republican and
Democrauc) cast in June was 1871.
900. a. compared with the total vote
Of $4,000 in the recall, and 5000
in the general election in 1920: Two
years age Frazier received 1000
votes. One year ago he received
10000. In the primary this year he
received $1,000. The story told by
tho frazer vote is the story for the
whole League ticket. It has fallen
from = majority Of 8 1000 OF the male
Less than . majority in 1921. A few
more voters have changed their minds
about Townleyism in each election

This campaign. which is the eighth
statewide contest with Townleyism
in which 1 have taken Al active part,
has not been very much different
that it was a little harder to get
started. But as the situation ia now
I can see no reason why the Town
leS-Frazier-Lemke vote will not ex-.
pertence the same whiting down that
1t has done In all preceding cam
paigns. We have had a few more
people in office. Our side has, be,
! cause Of that, been able to demon
strats more definitely that 1t IAN and
will make good. o'Connor and Mes
tos and their associates have. carried
on a clean campaign and discussed
the issues, We have lived up ITO the
same standard at headquarters, and
I believe that 1t has pleased the peo-
pie to see that. Frazier has twiddled
his thumbs and twaddled his tongue.
1emke has spewed and Kissed, and
the people are disguised with them.
Neither Of them has either explained
or excused their bungling misman-
! agem&nt, Of the Home Building. enter
prise or their failure to do a lick OF
work on the mill and elevator from
the time they were elected in 1s20Aun-
til they were recalled in 1921, or
their misuse Of public funds through
tho Scandinavian American Bank or
otherwise. There is nothing In the
Situation to indicate that Frazier can
get any more-votes this fall than he
had in June g. 10000.
I'VE are certainly going to have
more than 10000 votes registered on
November z. II weather and road
have a total vote ranging from 216,-
900 to $4,000. We may not reach
the 1920 vote because Of lde-popula-
ton in h western part Of the state.
All Should Vote.
III North Dakota's credit and good
name is made to suffer, which It will

have to rest IN. good citizens who viii

Ito vote for O'Connor. Nestos IL sure
10 be elected by from 10000 to 4O.-
900 majority depending on the size
of the total vote, and the rest Of the
state ticket will run well up with him.
The sNestss administration has made
remarkable progress. with the work
of rehabiItatng our credit. livery
l.citixen. therefore. who wants to see
that work go on should think twice
before he or she decides not to vote
l for. FO'Connor and every member OF
the O'CONNoR-NESTOs ticket. to-
sether with the llndependent candi-
dates for Judges, and Miss. Nelson.
We are not picking our, personal pre-
ferences for the several offices In this
election. We are deciding the fate Of
. whole state for the next decade or
Longer. To be q >alacker on Novem-
