the two groups whose battles have
provided the political fireworks in
tbs state for the last 10 years.
Vets Have Ticket
In addition to the Nonpartisans
and Independents. several wet Re-
publicans are in the field. The
principal question with regard to
the contests between prohibitionists
and their opponents, however, relates
to the proposal to eliminate the pro-
hibition clause from the state con-
stitution. It has been there since
North Dakota was admitted to the
union and previous attempts to take
North Dakota out of the dry" col
umn have failed.
Only one contest appears on the
Democratic ticket. Fred Anderson,
Minot, is opposing Charles K. Otto,
Valley City, for the gubernatorial
nomination. Otto was Endorsed at
Democratic invention held in his
home town and Anderson appeared
without apparent Endorsement.
