ments of Administration
Deserve Endorsement

Says There Is Fundamental
Difference Between Prin.
ciple of Two Sides

Hillsboro, N. D., Oct. Ex-Governor
r. A. Nestos, in his first campaign
speech here last night, urged support
Of the Coolidge Dawes national tick
ct and the Halvorson coalition state
ticket, at the polls on November i.
I'm the first place, l am for Cool
idge and Dawes because their record
is such as to give promise of the
wisest and best possible administra-
tion of our national affair." the Gov
ernor said. During all Of his pub
lie service, President Coolidge has
proven thoroughly imbued with the
fundamental principles of American
ism and sound government. a believer
in law and order and possessed Of
common sense and common honesty
beyond question:
eve regret that some officials
who were members of the Republican
party acted corruptly or at least in
such a way as to make i charge OF
corruption seem supported by many
facts, but no one can justly or fair
ly charge Coolidge with any blame
\, connection Herewith. The Amer
iAn people, no matter of what par
tV know that President Coolidge
will shield none of these and that
every person charged with crime will
be dealt with according to law. He
will not wink at violations. He can
not be bullied or bossed by any poll
tical faction or grating ring. In
dictments have already been found
against some of them and the rest
will soon be brought before the bar
of justice. Justice must be done and
those who know Calvin Coolidge
best, know that it will be done.
Many Achievements
Among the achievements. of the Re-
publican administration the Cover
nor pointed out were:
Economy and efficiency, lower
taxes, in government.
There has been general revival
of business despite adverse agricul-
tural and world conditions, and un-
employment has practically ceased. 1t
would be foolish to "swap horses in
midstream."
The Republican administration has
done much toward establishing tran
guilty in world affairs.
The administration has endeavored
to aid agriculture by many means.
The Washington arms conference
pointed new way to peace in the
world.
Governor Nestos, declaring the
present administration was friendly
to the farmer, said that President
Coolidge has been criticized for not
advocating the McNary- Haugen bill.
1T is interesting to note," he said,
/ "that five of the eleven LaFollette
HCongressmen from Wisconsin-in-
cluding the three who are touring
North Dakota this fall attacking the
farm policies of President Coolidge
voted against the McNary-Haugen
bill, and can recollect no declara-
tion by LaFollette himself during
the past winter in favor of that or
similar measures"
Nothing To Gain
Speaking Of the situation should
the election be thrown into the house
of representatives the Governor said:
II believe that the citizens of
North Dakota should favor Coolidge
for another season. The fight in
this state is concededly between
Coolidge and LaFollette. One Of
these two will have the five electoral
votes from North Dakota. Sonv La
Toilette supporters sought by trick
cry and slippery methods to gain a
victory. Such methods hurt rather
than help the cause for which used.
The people want to see fair play.
believe that the objects our people
desire to affair can be secured more
fully. by giving Coolidge the North
Dakota electoral votes thas by per-
mitting them to 60 to LaFollette. For
that reason, also, shall vote for
Coolidge and urge the same course
upon my friends who wish by their
vote to promote the prosperity Of
the country and the welfare and hap
piness of our people.
II have no quarrel with LaFollette.

traits and that he has served the

more than the applause of selfish and
self-seeking men. He told me in

and conventions, he had always ac-
cepted the verdict of the majority
and supported the nominees at the
fall election.
