Minot, N. D., May 3O-R. A.
Nestos, Republican candidate for
United States senator endorsed by
the Independents, should. be proud
Of the friends in his old home town.
No man in North Dakota politics
ever had better. No man ever had
more enthusiastic support from his
friends.
Whether the eagles Of victory
crown his standard on primary elec-
tion day or whether he comes home
upon his shield they will still be
loyal to. him. They are that kind of
friends.
C. D. Aaker, Minot attorney, is in
charge Of the Nestos campaign N
Ward county. He is very confident.
He predicts Nestos nomination by a
big majority and he declares the en-
tire Independent ticket will get the
same majority.
Nestos old time friends are going
about his campaign locally with all
the enthusiasm that marks every
undertaking in Minot. They are or
ganizing carefully.
They have sent the candidate in
| to the southern part of the state to
visit his old time friends. He was
in Richland county Monday, where
the normal Independent majorities
were badly cut both at the primary
and the general election two years
ago.
Personal Contact Sought
They reason that in this CAM
paign nothing will be quite so eff
fective az personal contact. Nestos
popularity among his friends here
is a fine tribute to him. They ad-
mire him for his citizenship. They
point to the fact that he is clean.
They are making a big and an eff
fective effort N his behalf.
They are pointing to the fact
that in the matter of farm relief
Nestos antedates McNary, Haugen
and all others in his practical in
terest. Aaker in fact is able to
take the Nestos record on farm re-
lief back in the before-Adam era.
He shows that in 1923 Nestos said
at a public meeting:
1--WE should revive thc United
States Grain Corporation or create
some organization similar thereto,
with adequate powers to segregate
the American surplus and to dis
pose Of that surplus in the markets
of the world in the best possible
way"
! Frazier Attacked
Nestos' friends here are attacking
Senator Frazier for the fact he
was not in Washington when the
final vote was taken on the Nc
Nary-Haugen bill. They point to
his speech in the Congressional
Record, the record that it was de-
livered to only a few listeners and
that at its conclusion some one arose
! and suggested that all the senators
would be the better for q little
fresh air.
Nestos' friends deny that Ward
county and Minot especially are not
enthusiastic for his candidacy. They
confidently assert his majority here
will be bigger than ever.
Quite another story comes from
those who arc opposing Nestos'
however. They are responsible for
q most interesting story Of basket
picnic at a Minot park . week ago
last Sunday. Professional men and
their families, business men and
three bankers were in the group.
The talk ran to politics. The dis
cussion was such as good neighbors
would hold. The respective merits
Of Frazier and Nestos were under
consideration. They talked an hour.
They conceded Mr.. Nestos is an ad-
mirable type of the citizen. They
gave him full respect for his
political record. They held that
Frazier by reason of his service
will be the more effective repre-
sentative of the state. Then they
decided on q sort Of conscientious
vote. It's basis was the best inter-
est Of the state. It ended with every
