Frazier Says Primary

Senator Declares Republicans

Preference Winner

Washington, March 19-(P)-Sena-
tor Frazier, CR., N. D., issued a state
ment Saturday asserting that the
North Dakota preference primary
vote which went for Joseph !. France
in the Republican contest IS binding
upon the delegates.
Senator Fraziers statement read:
Newspaper reports of the recent
presidential preference primary in
North Dakota carry repeatedly state
ments to the effect that If so-called
Hoover delegates are elected they will
not be bound by the preference for
president indicated in the vote for
presidential candidates.
Such statements are misleading,
and, in tending to deride the North
Dakota primary, are in line with sys-
tematic efforts being made to dis
credit all primary elections.
In justice to the people of North
Dakota it should be understood that
the popular vote OF the party in favor
OF a presidential candidate is man.

PRECEDENT INDICATES
DELEGATES NOT BOUND

Fargo, N. D.. March l9.-(P)-While
Senator Frazier claimed In Washing
ton that the states primary vote,
which went for Joseph I. France In
the Republican preference contest, is
binding on the delegates elected, the
precedent set has been for the del
egates to support at the presidential
conventions the candidate to whom
they were pledged originally.
An outstanding example is the 1924
primary. when Coolidge won the pre-
ference vote. defeating the late SEN
ator La Toilette and Hiram john
son. In the delegate race. La Toilet
tie won six Of the states delegates
who supported him in the national

what the other two Nonpartisan

The claim has been made in po-

have the delegates support the presi-

statute states that each delegate to

PRINTING THE NEWS

When to print disagreeable story and
when to leave one out of the paper is one of
the most troublesome problems of small
town editor. In the case of person who is
unfaithful to trust, or one who is guilty of
serious crime, it is not difficult to decide, be-
cause the public's interest, as well as the
public's right to have the news, demands that
it be printed.
There are some cases, however, in which
the offense is entirely of personal nature,
and in which publishing the story would
bring sorrow and embarrassment to innocent
persons. In these the making of proper
decision is often not easy. If the story is
printed, relatives will feel that it is unneces-
sary; if it is suppressed, the scandal-mongers
will be disappointed, and many will insinuate
that the editor was bought off,"
These same scandalmongers would howl
the loudest, however, if their own shady ac-
lions were held up to public gaze.
So its hard to please everybody, and no
editor of sense tries 20 please everybody. He
must let his own judgment and his own con-
science be his guide.
If he errs on the side of kindness and
sympathy for the unfortunate, his error will
be forgotten by the more enlightened readers
of his newspaper.

THAT DOLE FOR THE BANKERS"
minneapolis JournaD

Mr.. Borah arises in the Senatt to below for
the La Toilette dole for unemployed workers and to
denounce disguised dole for bankers and other
fat boys the recently enacted law setting up the Re
construction Finance Corporation.
Mr. Borahs play is to the cheering jobless ones
that pack the gallery. For even the Idahoan and
the other Senate malcontents must know that the
loosenng up of credit at which the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation Act is aimed has of it's
direct purposes the relief of the unemployed. Nor
is this purpose supported only by abstract theory
is demonstrable in the light of unquestioned facts
and irrefutable figures.
For example, of the first applications for en-
ployment of the Corporations funds comes from the
Pennsylvania Railroad which will seek according to
its President around five million dollars month for
indefinite period with the loans amply Sc
cured-for continuing its electrifcation program
This work will give employment to between IF
teen and twenty thousand men, ten thousand of
them working for the railroad and the others for in
dustries furnishing the materials. Spent for doles
as Senators Borah and La Palette would spend 1t,
the taxpayers money would be irretrievably lost
Lent to a corporation-to the much maligned fat
boys that have their investments shrink alarm
ingly-the money will provide jobs for many thous-
ands of men presently unemployed. And the tax
payers eventually will get it back, with interest.
How much better to spend money this way than
to pay doles with it. How much better to make men
self supporting and self respecting, than to make
paupers of them. How much better to invest the
taxpayers money safely and productivity, than to
squander it on unneeded public works, undertaken
merely to create jobs-pubc works and merely add
to the taxpayers bill for upkeep once they are fin
ished
