DANGER TO gooQ government which
they represent, Noodle said the his
tory Of Langer's Is months in office
proves that in 1920 he was merely
mulling over the blue prints" Of the
political machine which he SUBJ
sequently set up in the state.
If he Is elected, he said. he will
not have any night riders on the
road from Bismarck to Grand Forks
to make illegal collections from the
state mill and elevator for prepaid
advertising in political newspaper
and he will 50 conduct himself that
it will never be necessary for the
good wife to become q candidate to
vindicate the official record"
Commenting on charges that he
has not lived In one place in North
Dakota long enough to really under
stand the problems Of the state, Moo
die promised to spend the time be-
tween election day and his Inaugural
ton, II elected, taking 4 course at
an eastern finishing school" SO that
he might properly equip himself for
the office.
Relief Out OF Politics
Declaring that q Republican can
get just as hungry as . Democrat
and our friends the Communists can
apparently get twice as hungry al
either" Noodle demanded that relief
be kept out Of politics and asserted
that Langer's lust for power and lust
for money is what got him into trou-
bic. The result he declared to be
an excellent demonstration Of "poeti,
justice"
The Democratic platform declara-
ton on the moratorium, he said
means Just what It says. No one
shall be moved from his home during
these stringent times. It is not only
good public policy but constructive
common sense, he said.
Those who approve Of Langerism
should vote the LANCER ticket
straight, Noodle asserted, while those
who are opposed to 1t should "vote
the Democratic ticket from top to
bottom" and thus end the exploit.

tresS."
Asks Burr. Nuessle, Morris
Reinforcing . plea by John Moses
who also spoke. Noodle asked support
for w. L. Nuessle, A. G. Burr and
James Morris as candidates for the
state supreme court, asserting they
are clean. honest men who will serve
the people without regard to politics
and without fear or favor.
Moses. pointing out that G. G.
Bangert. one Of the LANCER court
candidates, has travelled with the con.
victed governor throughout. this cam.
paign. pointed to the attack made or
the court by Bangert and by A. F
Bonner. Jr., because 1t held the North
Dakota moratorium law unconstitu.
tional.
Then he quoted from the Official
senate record In which both Bangerl
and Bonzer,, explaining their votes or
the law, each asserted that he knew
1t to be unconstitutional.
Pointing out that Mrs. LANCER has
asked for q friendly" supreme court
Moses asked: Friendly to whoml
Friendly to q political faction OF
friendly to the people? We don't
want q friendly supreme court. We
want just court"
The only way in which this bare
faced and brazen attempt" to subvert
Justice and throw the court into po-
litics, Moses asserted, is to vote fol
Nuessle, Burr and Morris.
Need Civil Service Law
Pointing to the need for . civil
service law, Moses said all depart

LANCER were shot through with pc.
litics. He cited numerous bills pres.
ented by highway department work.
ers to show that political work wa
charged to the state under such
headings as cleaning culverts, cutting
weeds and smoothing surface. The
taxpayers paid the bill.
The Democrats, he said, will esta.
blish q civil service system which will
require of minor state employees only
that they do their work and stay out
Of politics. This, he said, should both
improve the efficiency and reduce
the cost Of government.
