do not vote the Democratic ticket. I
want to say. to you this: Vote any
ticket you please. The first concern
Of good Democrats will be to know
that relief IS adequate and properly
administered. Relief In this state is
an issue which u not In politics. A
Republican can get just as hungry as
q Democrat. And our embittered and
much misunderstood friends the Com
munists can apparently get twice as
hungry Is either one Of you. Most
emphatically relief Is not In politics.
We are frequently asked in this
campaign where Democrats stand
upon the state industries. The plat
form declaration Is clear. Democrats
will continue those industries and ad-
minister them upon = business basis
through non-polittcal boards upon
which our farmers will have liberal
representation. In this connection
promise you that the governor viii

Fargo seeking to collect In cash for

that has not been given. I promise
you also that II ever I am elected
governor ! shall endeavor to conduct
myself IN such . manner that 1t will
never be necessary for the good wife
to run for office to vindicate the Of

Langerism ". Good Government
Langerism as opposed to good gov

record Is before you. I do not pro-

time. It Is for you to decide from the

want you to know, however, that
Democrats stand firmly behind the
institutions OF constitutional govern
ment in this state and will continue
to do so. II you want Laneerism
