Nashville. Tenn, Aug. 18.-(P)-R.
H. Askew, 28-year-old North Carolina

He reiterated previous declarations
that This Is no time to stir up fur
Their political strife in North Dakota."
The Democratic ticket, he said, has
been accused of not having fire, or
not putting punch in the campaign.
Appeals to reason and to intelligence
never are spectacular. We prefer q
listening, thinking audience. We have
constructive suggestions to offer. Con-
struction never brings the cheers. De-
struction always arouses mob hysteria.
We are not appealing to q mob but to
citizenry that Is seeking leadership"
And we are standing squarely upon
our platform"
Grave economic issues confront
every citizen, Noodle said. "Intelli-
gent analyzation of these problems
cannot be done by berating and be-
fouling our political opponents" he
added.
Democrats should devote their
time and labors to finding the proper
procedures and means by which they
may be Of real service to the state If
they are called upon to take over the
reins Of government.
Rather than waste time trying to
find new ways and methods Of profan-
ing the personalities Of our opponents,
1t is better that North Dakota Demo-
Gratis devote their energies to study
ing the needs of the state and pre-
senting practical solutions to the
citizens"
In conference with prominent DEM
ocrats on various aspects Of the cam
paign, Noodle declared management
Of the campaign was being left en-
tirely in the hands of the new party
chairman, John G. Eaton Of Fargo.
Just when the campaign will be Off
cially launched has not been decided
by the executive committee, Eaton
said.
THE Democratic party feels it has
an able group OF men and women nom-
mated for state office. q group whose
strength lies In its unity. Each one of
them would fill the state office each
seeks efficiently" Eaton said.
We are Offering the citizens of
North Dakota not only the Roosevelt
new deal but also q brand new deal
insofar as party and state office is
concerned. There Is not one candidate
on the ticket who ever has held state
office before"

discussion Of what steps should be
taken to murder him and dispose OF

ence of John Labatt while he was
held captive by kidnapers, it was
learned from q source close to the

In recounting his experiences with

informed his family that from the
length Of time he was driven after
being made captive and his eyes
tapped he suspected that he had been
held In q frame shack In northern
Ontario or the Muskoka region.
Otherwise Well Treated
On the whole he had been treated
we'll, but on Wednesday night the
gang apparently received word from
some one keeping them well posted
on the movements Of the police and
they became agitated, fearing the
authorities were closing in on them.
The gangsters discussed in . cold
blooded manner q plan to murder
LAbatt. All the details Of disposing
Of his body and getting rid Of all
possible traces Of evidence were talk
ed over In their victims hearing.
Early in the morning, however, their
informant apparently save them

about the police discovering their
hiding place.

the hours when they were planning
