Honorable Frank o. Lowden of HI
inois, former Governor of that state,
will sound the keynote of the Re-
publican national campaign in this
section of North Dakota, in an adj
dress at the Bismarck Auditorium
at 8 p. m. Tuesday night, October 81.
Mr.. Lowden. who is making a tour
of the Northwest and the Pacific
Coast, will make but two stops in
North Dakota, at Bismarck and
jamestown. He will arrive here to-
morrow morning in a special car at
tached to Northern Pacific train No.
] and will leave at 10:46 at night for
Montana. The meeting will be called
promptly at the Auditorium.
Mr.. Lowden was governor of
Illinois and is the biggest speaker
sent into North Dakota by the Re-
publican national committee. He
was one of the leading candidates for
the nomination for President in 1920
and last summer the Republican ma
tional convention nominated him for
president, which he declined be-
cause Of the work it was doing among
the farmers in connection with the
agricultural organizations of the
country.
Mr.. Lowden made a great record
as Governor of Illinois, particularly
in recognizing the system of gov
eminent. More than 1870 state depart
ments, bureaus and commissions
were consolidated into nine depart
ments with a director at the head of
each. The budget system was adopt
ed, finance code was passed and re-
markable economies were effected in
government.
Governor Lowden voluntarily retir-
ed at the end of four years, and since
that time has been a notable figure
in public life.
A rousing meeting is expected by
the Coolidge-Dawes forces, who de-
clare voters of this section of the
state have an exceptional opportuni-
ty to hear noted speaker.
The fusion campaign in the state
is proceeding apace, with the Inde-
pendents laying great stress on the
necessity of getting out full vote
in the November election. Indepen-
dent forces, somewhat apathetic at
the commencement of the campaign,
declare there has been a remarkable
awakening of interest in the state
and that Mr.. Halvorson has made
great strides in the campaign. His
election is predicted by many Inde-
pendents if full vote responds.
Mr.. Halvorson recently has de-
nounced government ownership AS
futile, but promises fair trial for
\the mill and elevator project as long
as the voters want it and the tax
payers are willing. He declared
against the proposed Is percent tax
reduction bill before the voters.
The Nonpartisan League forces
are also very active in the state, and
are conducting big speaking cam
dates with Gerald Nye in the Second
Congressional District. U. S. Sena-
tor Lynn Frazier will campaign in
the state. Congressman Sinclair is
out, and A. G. Sorlie, candidate for
! Governor, has been billed for a num-
Der of talks.
E. T. Burke of Bismarck, who has
been in several communities in this
section of the state, particularly in
German communities, declared that
things are satisfactory with the
Coolidge campaign. He asserted
that he found surprising number
of farmers and others who are for
Coolidge, and declares that the La
Toilette sentiment is greatly over
rated in North Dakota. Coolidge, he
believes, will carry the state with
a surprisingly large vote.
