opponent, r. A. johnson, candidate
for lieutenant governor, did SO in
definite terms.
Asserting Il know him so we'll ]
am not afraid of him." Johnson as
serted that LANCER has hoped from
one political camp to the other and
back again in an effort to further an
unholy ambition for power. He
quoted from speech by LANCER in
1920. when LANCER was the I. v. A.
candidate for governor against Lynn
J. Frazier, in which LANCER said the
reason he left the NonpartiSan
League was because the bylaws
perpetuated the power Of those con-
trolling that organization.
At the beginning. he said, LANCER
condemned everything I. v. A. and
was a militant Lacquer. Then, when
he found he could not run the
League. he went over to the I. v. A.,
and when he found that he couldn't
get to the top there, he went back
to the League again.
Johnson said he was an I. v. A. In
1920 but that he supported Frazier,
advising his friends to vote for an
honest man and keep the scoundrel
out"
Comparing LANCER to his satanic
majesty, Johnson said the Republi-
can gubernatorial nominee has prom
ised everything in sight, asserting
that 'clandeStinely he takes honor
able men up into the high noun
h~ = Il
tells them to fall down and worship
me- johnson further gave it as
his opinion that DePuy is "the only
honest lawyer running for governor
this year"
Referring to a speech by Mayor A.
+. Lynner Of Fargo at Northwood
several weeks ago, in which he plead
cd for Hoover support because cleo
ton of the Democrats would mean
elimination Of Republicans from fed

be ono Of the secrets the ordinary
voter doesn't know anything about
Quotes Richardton Speech
Perry Benner, candidate for insur-
ance commissioner. asserted that in
recent speech at Richardton, speak
ing to a German audience. LANCER had
asserted that the Scandinaviasls have
all the good state jobs while the only
jobs given to Germans are those of
cleaning spittoons. Benner said
LANCER asserted that when am gov
ernor the Germans will have the good
jobs and the Scandinavians will clean
the spittoons."
r. B. Murphy. congress candidate
asserted the intelligence of the people
was insulted by the Lynner speech at
Northwood and said he was shocked
by this exposition of the theory that
the only reason for progressive or
ganization in North Dakota was to
distribute jobs.
He asserted that the Democrats
have no money to campaign and
warned against barrage of Republi-
can speeches, financed by exacting five
per cent of the wages of every fed
Grad appointee. Murphy told the au-
dience to ask any of their friends who
might be on the federal payroll how
this works.
