PERSECUTION CRY
BY LANCER seen
ASCOURT ATTACK
Cain Head quarters State
Charges Are Direct Blow
at Constitution

Charges by campaigners supporting
William LANCER that his conviction By
q federal court jury Is the result Of
persecution Friday brought from In
dependent Republican headquarters
= retort that such statements are Z
direct attack upon constitutional
government and upon the courts ol
the United States: . blow at the very
foundation Of the American system ol
government"
The headquarters, in q statement
predicting that State Senator james
P. Cain will be declared the Republi-
can nominee for governor BY IN
Overwhelming ajority," said that
from all parts Of North Dakota
comes definite assurance Of Q heavy
vote for Cain"
A large number Of voters formerly
affiliated with the Nonpartisan
League, the statement said, have be-
come 50 thoroughly disgusted that
they are personally pledging Mr.. Cain
their support"
The admission by Gov. LANCER
under oath" the statement continued
that he had converted some $4,000
Of Leader funds to his personal use
and that large part Of this sum had
been spent by him In gambling on
the wheat and stock market, seems
to have been the straw that broke the
camels back. Added to this Is the
reaction Of honest citi1ens. who
strongly resent the political ballyhoo
Of the administration forces to the
effect that LANCER has been per-
secuted, and that his trial and oonvic-
ton Is unfair.
THE people Of North Dakota know
that he was tried by . jury Of II out
standing and open-minded citizens
several Of whom were Of the same
political faction as the LANCER. and
they know that the statement that
he has been prosecuted Is not only
untrue but Z direct attack upon con-
stitutional government and upon the
courts Of the United States: . blow
at the very foundation Of the Ameri-
can system Of government"
