The Fargo Courier News is indus
triously circulating the falsehood to
the effect that I. v. A. assessors have
maliciously registered all nonparti-
sans as democrats, which accounts for
the larger registration Of democrats
at this time than last. The Courier
News is deliberately classifying when
it makes this statement as it does this
morning. In Valley City there was a
registration of democrats over twice
as great as last year, and we do not
think there were a dozen nonpartisan
democrats in the city, and we do know
that our assessor simply asked the
voter what party he wanted to regis
ter under and listed them as they ans
wered. No one was wrongfully listed
and any person who was had, up I'M
til today, chance to change their
registration. 1t is we'll known that i'm
every league precinct democrats were
urged to list as republicans so that
they could vote the league ticket
and there is nothing wrong about that
if they wanted to do so. But this
fearful wall from the Courier-News
is not only childish but absolutely
wrong. 1t shows to what end they
will go to make an issue. No wonder
Church said they had no issues to dis
cuss before the voters-he told the
truth, they haven't. If the Fargo lea
que organ really wanted to find out
what was causing the higher vote
among the democrats of the state it
did not have to go very far to get the
facts. The entry into the race of Pla-
tou for governor was largely instru-
mental in democrats doing that at the
start. Since the campaign has pro-
crossed the democrats, or many Of
them, have become convinced that
Platou's entry was mistake, and
around here quite number of them
have changed their registration to re-
publican so that they could help Mes
tos out. No, no, en-, there is no
fraud or coercion in listing up voters.
The real trouble is that the league
leaders know that they are licked to
a fragile and they are getting cold
feet. The sum and substance of the
whole matter is that the league forces
are whipped. They have no issues, no
grounds to manufacture issues and
the people have no time or sympathy
with any movement that will upset
the present advantages the state has
gained under the present administra-
ton. The league bunch want to get
hold of the industrial board and again
run the state into heavy debt by in
creased taxation, but we do not be-
lieve that the people are going to fall
for it.

IN NINETEEN FORTY-EIGHT

Washington, DEE C(eased), June
interest was manifested
here today in the taking over of the
U. S. Postoffice department by it's re-
cent purchaser, the aged Henry Ford.
In assuming the proprietorship and
management Of the plant, Mr.. Ford
said:
81 had been noting for many years
that the department was running at
a loss. This, I believe, is due to the
making of several colors and sizes of
stamps, as we'll as various sizes of
stamped envelopes and newspaper
wrappers. l shall see to the stand
ardization of all these things. just
instructed Edsel, to whose active
management I shall leave this branch
of our business while I devote my
personal attention to the U. S. mint
which I bought two weeks ago, to ar
range at once for making all the
stamps the same color and price, and
to make all government envelopes and
newspaper wrappers of the same size
and pattern.
"No'', he continued in answer to the
reporters question, "the deal for the
Hawaiian Islands has not yet gone
through. There is a technical matter
yet to be cleared up-a failure to find
one of Queen Liliuokalani's great
grandchildren to sign a quit claim
deed as joint heir. AS to whether or
not I shall be bidder at the public
auction of the British Empire, have
nothing to say at present"
Mr.. Ford is also planning to give
transfers from any of his American
railroads to any Of his transatlantic
steamship lines.-Selected.

say, that method, coupled with our
years of business experience, appeal
ed to US as being logical and business
like but it seems that we were in err
ror in placing that construction upon
it--Mr. LANCER says. that was merely
a subterfuge to get the agents of
land loan companies firmly establish
ed in the department. Also Mr.. Lam
ger is entirely consistent. A short
time previous to bringing up this
matter he had referred to the many
unwise loans made by the Frazier adj
ministration and drew attention to the
fact that these loans had all been ap-
praised by one man, a race horse
trainer who had worked in Jim Wat
ers' livery barn and had been appoint
ed to the position of appraiser by
Waters. The appointment Of incom-
petent men by the former admins
tration, in line with their policy of
taking care of their friends politically,
was all right, even though it did cost
the state a lot of money, but when
the present administration appoints
thoroly competent men who have had
years of experience it is an attempt
to turn the department over to the
big loan interests and shows plainly
the glazing incompetence of the Mes
tos regime. consistency thou art a
jewel"-but your name isn't LANCER.

We are in the last week of the pri-
mary campaign and things are warm
ing up considerably. The ticket we
are supporting is carried at the head
of these columns and we hope to see
it victorious one week from Wednes-
day. Miss Nelson is the only Barnes
county candidate on the ticket except
ing Judge Englert. These two are on
what is called the nonpartisan ballot.
Both of them deserve your support.
Roll up majority for them at the
polls on June 2Sth.

REFER MATTER TO U. S.

Washington, D.. c., June 17-Chile

Tachna Arena conference to the Amer

ed of his failure of the direct confer
ence with Peru and left a memoran-
dunn outlining his failure.

boost at the primary election it is At
torney General Sveinbjorn johnson,
who is now a candidate for judge of
the supreme court. Mr.. Johnson took
the brunt of the battle last fall with
Nestos and Kitchen in the recall, has
had the guns of the opposition train
ed upon him since he assumed the Of
flee, and inasmuch as it was impossi-
BILE for him to be reelected attorney
general, he should be given a place on
the high court. If Mr.. johnson was
not competent we would not urge his
election but he is and if elected will
make a good supreme court judge.
We are going to support him in this
election and hope he will receive a
big vote at the primaries.

Bill LANCER is having hard time
of it. He Graves limelighting; he
seeks glory and loves praise. But he
is gaining nothing. He is here, there
and everywhere; apparently without
any fixed principles. He is in one
day and out the other; prompted by
selfishness and swayed by trivialities.
"Who pants for glory finds but short
repose; a breath revives him or a
breath overthrows." So truthfully
says The Independent.

Since the advent Of Stegner into
the gubernatorial race the league
speakers have been handling him with
gloves. Whenever any league speak
er has occasion to refer to Stegner
he says Stegner wants to scrap the
entire league program but in the
same breath manages to say good
word for him. Of course the reason
is obvious. These speakers know
there is no possible chance for Steg-
ner's election but they think there is
some possibility of his pulling some
votes away from Nestos and conse-
quently they are doing all they can
to throw votes which the league can
not get to Stegner. Indications are
that Stegner is the best Lacquer in
the state at this time and is doing
more than any other person to effect
the nomination Of Baker.

as he should, but now that it is a
fight between him and Frazier they
much prefer to have senator with
the prestige McCumber has than to
send to the senate a man who has
been repudiated by his state and
whose associates are not the kind to
inspire confidence in North Dakota
in Washington or elsewhere. On the
whole the outlook for the whole tick
ct from McCumber down, looks
bright. -.....s]

NORTH AND SOUTH DAKOTA

Figures given for Minnesota are an
average of the costs of two kinds of
threshing practise: one whereby the
farmer furnishes board for the entire
crew, and part Of the labor, and the
other whereby all the cost Of labor
and board is assumed by the thresh-
er. Figures given here for the Dako-
tas include entire cost Of labor and
board. Montana costs range from
one to two cents per bushel more
than in the Dakotas. Owing to many
inequalities in conditions, there are
many variations to these figures.

Mr.. Church, candidate for commits
sioner of agriculture and labor, who
appeared here yesterday and spoke
out at the Chautauqua auditorium,
made the statement that there were
no issues in this campaign to discuss.
The gentleman is absolutely correct.
From nonpartisan league standpoint
the least that can be said from the
candidates representing the league
ticket the better. The Frazier admin
istration has been weighed in the bal
ance and it was found deficient and
the voters turned them out. The ut
ter wastefulness and inefficiency of
that administration will not stand for
any argument in it's favor or any
enconiums of praise. The rottenness
of that regime still fingers in the nos
trils of the people of this state. On
the other hand the six months Of the
Nestos administration has been one
of constructive management, and
sound business principles. Much mon
ey is being saved the tax payers of
the state in cutting down unnecessary
expenses and all departments are be-
ing conducted in a business-like man.
ner. Of course Mr.. Church says there
are no issues to be discussed. There
are no just criticisms to be made at
the Nestos administration so there
can be no discussion. This admins
tration has not looted any Of our
banks and it has not wasted millions
of dollars loaned to banks of league
faith and to worthless politicians Of a
like nature. When it comes down to
the real issues of this campaign there
is not a single thing to be said from
the platform of the league candidates
in favor of returning them to power.
They are tottering on the brink of
political oblivion and on June % will
go down to defeat because the people
of the state distrust them.
VIM. LANCER read letter from
Gov. Nestos to a man at Towner ex-
planning just how that man could re-
ceive attention for his application for
a position as land appraiser. Gov.
Nestos stated in the letter that the
farm loan department would only hire
men as appraisers who had had at
least two years experience in that
capacity with land loan concerns and
that the department would require the
Endorsement Of the company for which
the person had worked. This appeals
to US as being a logical business meth
cd of selecting employees for the de-
partment, getting in that way men
who were thoroly conversant with
the work, who knew land values for
loan purposes and eliminating the ell

The bankers at Minot yesterday
passed resolutions urging enactment
of more blue sky laws, commentator

association and its work, advocating
the enactment Of a law which will
empower the banking board to refuse
issuance of charters for new banks in
towns which have sufficient banking
facilities, commentator of the pres
emit state administration and pledging
support to the Great Lakes-St. Law
renee Waterway project. These reso-
buttons are good and to the point. If
the bankers had gone a little further
and resoluted to abolish the pardon
board it would not be amiss. We
need little change in this depart
ment of our state government. 1t is
too easy to get out Of the pen the
way things are run at this time.

Joseph A. Kitchen, ex-service man,
and the present commissioner of ag-
riculture and labor, is a candidate
for denomination at the primary cleo
ton. Mr.. Kitchen was elected to that
position last October and will only
serve a part of a term. He is max
ing good in the position to which the
people elected him and it seems to us
that he should receive every indie
pendent vote at the coming primary
election. 1t is necessary to elect the
industrial board in order to keep con-
troll of affairs in this state, and Mr..
Kitchen is member of that board.

Up in Griggs county they have
fourteen candidates for tie office of
sheriff. About twenty-five hundred
votes will be cast in that county in
the coming election, and if each one
got a fourteenth of the total vote it
would take less than two hundred
votes to get on the ticket. There
must be something real interesting
about that office to draw out so many
candidates for the job. Can it be that
they all want to be judges Of the
"evidence." In Barnes county only
five are running for the Job and as
we will cast about eight thousand
votes the two highest candidates to
20 on the ticket in the fall will have
to get quite bunch.

William LANCER, the famous North
Dakota political fence jumper, is bill
ed to speak in the city tonight in the
interests of the nonpartisan league.
Not long ago LANCER had the oppor-
tunity of being considered one of the
big men in the state but at present he
is mighty small toad in the puddle.
It is certain that the Independent vot-
ers will place no confidence in any
thing he says and he has been brand
ed as a traitor so long by the en-.
that the leaguers will have hard
time taking anything he says without
several grains of salt. The fact that
he is now speaking for the league is
one of the best arguments in favor
of the independents that this CAM
paign has furnished.

Senator LaFollette, of Wisconsin,
who is now running for reelection, is
having his usual six year spell of
radicalism and "sich". In order to
win the support of the radical element
in labor he is making speeches jump
ing onto the supreme court of the
United States, and of course anybody,
politician or otherwise, who jumps on
to the courts of the country, accord
ing to the views of the radicals, is all
right. The labor element is now con-
sidering LaFollette as a presidential
candidate for 1924. If any man in the
whole United States today deserves a
beating at the polls it is the Wiscon-
sin demagogue. He is responsible for
more unrest in the country than any
other man and he generally breaks
loose about the time he wants to be
reelected to the United States senate.
