In Bismarck Talks

as saying that that government Is
best which governs least" a pledge to
work for repeal of the 18th amend
ment, oppose the return of the saloon,
and return to the states regulation of
the liquor traffic; and a condemna-
ton of his opponent, U. S. Senator
Gerald P. Nye. for riding the fence
in the presidential campaign.
Cameron attacked the Republican
claim that their candidate for COVER
nor. William LANCER, is safe, conser-
vative and economic" declaring that
his record indicates he is mot safe,
extremely radical, and anything but
economic"
Supporting the Democratic candi-
date for governor. Cameron said that
H. G. De Puy is the man needed to
bring back good government to this
state.
Opposite From LANCER
The Democratic candidate, he said,
Is not for establishment of branch
banks of the Bank of North Dakota
would not call out the national guard
to enforce self-ordered embargo on
grain shipments. because he is con-
stitutional" lawyer: would not sweep
out of the capital" those particular
state employees who are serving be-
cause of their special training and
ability and not because of their poll
tical connections: would not make an
insignificant statement that he welld
save the state a million dollars when
an initiated bill passed last June al
ready had cut two and half million
from the states tax revenue. and
would not promise state jobs in barter
for votes.
For these reasons the candidate for
attorney general said. De Puy and
LANCER are exactly "diametric."
He likened the state to large COR
poration. the governor to the chair
man Of the board of directors and the
voters to stockholders. He recon-
holders in a regular business would
do, send men TO the board of directors
who would be able to cooperate with
the chairman.
In appealing for patriotism, Lanier
said it was not the Republican party
or principles to which the country and
state is objecting, but to the present
leadership of the organization.
Scores Administration
The Republican administration from
1920 to 1929, he said, instituted sys-
tenn which brought about the great
est period of crop mortgage forecloS-
ureS and business failures the coun-
try has known.
The Wall Street crash of 1929, he
said, sent the "one-way" train into
the ditch.
Though he said the Reconstruction
Finance Corporations Joan Of $4,000
0C0 to Charles G. Dawes and his
Chicago banking institution undoubt-
edly did much good in that city and
averted considerable suffering, he
claimed the r. F.. C.. is aiding only a
favored few.
An advance to North Dakota farm
ers of rs cents per bushel on wheat
to enable them to hold their grain
until next March waiting for a price
rise. would have made it possible for
them to improve their conditions con-
siderably, he. said.
He lamented the fact that PreSi
dent Coolidge had vetoed the Nc
Nary Haugen bill and declared that
Roosevelt favors the equalization fee
principle in farm legislation to bring
agriculture out Of its doldrums.
"..ive &c farmer ~ cents for every
bushel OF wheat he has raised since
1926" Lanier charged. and ne car
lift every mortgage"
Would Revise Tariffs
The Democrats would revise the
tariffs to protect the American stan
dards Of living, to be effective as re-
lating to farm products, and at the
same time not so offensive to foreign
countries as to prompt them to in
stitute retaliatory measures.
The present tariff arrangement he
charged. has stifled international
trade and permits lnonopolies In tti:
country rather than fair competition
