administration. They have "stood
in" all along and they, together with
Congressman j. H. Sinclair and SEN
ators Frazier and Nye, Nonpartisans
went to bat for feed and seed loans
and other considerations which Shat
er is credited by his party campaign
ers with accomplishing single hand
ed.
The Hyland-Langer contest has be-
come a real battle. LANCER has made
vigorous campaign and has succeed
ed IN healing the breaches in the Nom
partisan front. In the language of
one Nonpartisan he was little diff
cult to swallow for those who opposed
him In the convention but not SO bad
after they got him down.
The character of the I. v, A. at
tack on his record as attorney gener-
al has lacked effectiveness. Between
the time he was attorney general and
the present campaign he was Endorsed
by the I. v. AS for governor and that
fact Is not being overlooked.

To date the only campaigner with
anything approaching a normal issue
is William Lemke, Nonpartisan in
dorsee for congress. He has ham,
mered away in support of the Frazier
bill to provide cheap money for farm
loans and amortization. His battle
cry is "the farmers are entitled to as
much consideration as the banks"
and 1t seems to be proving effective.
A peculiar aspect of his campaign is
that his arguments are taking we'll
with the country bankers who are
not affiliated with the chain financial
institutions. They see in the Frazier
bill hope and opportunity for them
and many have provided an automo-
bile and gasoline to transport Lemke
about their counties in his hitch-hik-
ing campaign.

In the Burleigh county race, one of
the principal points of interest is Mil
ton Rue's race for seat in the house.
A believer in the creation of new is
sues and with friends in both
branches of the party, Rue has
strong personal following. Many of
these expect him to be high man on
the legislative ticket.
His contracting business has pre-
vented him from making much of a
campaign. His attitude has been that
1t is more important to keep his 80
employees working than to spend his
time campaigning. He promises, how
ever, to give his entire time and at
tention to the job OF being a legisla-
tor If elected, since his business is not
pressing in the winter time.
For the last two years he has spent
the early part of each winter running
the American Legion's open Your |
Heart" campaign, which has accom- !
plished much good each Christmas |
time. AS result of this work and
his long residence in the county he Is !
one of the most widely known men on
the ticket.
On the NonpartiSan side interest
centers largely in the campaigns of |
w. B. Falconer of Lincoln township |
and O. c. Uhde of Regain in their
for the legislature. Both
are dirt farmers and Uhde is a war
Lack of time and funds and
The press of farm work have prevent
ed them from making active cam
paigns but they have been in the field
a little during the last week or two.
Each of them would like to become a
of the legislature because they
want to assist in pairing down state
expenses and pass some legislation
which would help the farmer.

H. F. Tiedman's campaign for coun-
" commissioner in the fifth district
also is creating some comment. Most
Of the votes in the district come from
he north half of the city of Bismarck
and Tiedman'S hackers are contend
ng that fair division of the county
BOARD would be two men from the city
and three from the country. This is
based on the fact that city property
pays approximately half the county
axes. Tiedmans principal opponent,
Victor Moynier, who has held the job
Tor - years, is farmer living east
II the city.
Other candidates for county office
nave continued their personal cam
oaigns. None of them are making
much noise but they have been shak-
ing the hands of the voters steadily
and all are hopeful Of getting on the
ticket for the run-off in the fall.
