FOR j. s. SENATOR

Advantages Of Democrats
Election to Office

washington. Sept. 5.-(P-Nelson
A. Mason. an independent candidate
for the Republican nomination for
United States Senator in North Da-
kota last June, Wednesday issued a
formal statement endorsing the cam
didacy Of Henry Holt, Grand Forks,
N. D., Democratic senatorial nominee.
Mason, Bismarck, N. D.. attorney.
formerly was secretary to U. S. Sem
ator Lynn ]. Frazier, Republican
nominee for reelection. Mason is
here conferring with federal officials
on the Missouri river diversion pro-
ject.
1T gives me pleasure to endorse
the candidacy Of Honorable Henry
Holt for the office Of United States
Senator. With the needs Of our state
50 great, it should be the best man
for the office. regardless of party. Mr..
Holt is eminently qualified for the
position for which he has been NOM
mated. He Is able and active and OF
unimpeachable integrity.
Conservation Of the flood waters
Of the state through the proposed
Missouri river diversion project and
other proposals occupy the attention
OF our people and are above person.
alities and partisanship. Mr.. Holt
The Bismarck tribune., 1934-09-05

has stressed the Importance OF thi.
project in his public utterances as Of
vital Importance to the welfare Of
North Dakota. If elected he will be
in the strongest position of prestige
and power to further the interest OF
the proposed project. and is determin-
ed to use all possible means to make
diversion a reality.
president Roosevelt has expressed
genuine interest in plans for the diver
sion, control and utilization OF the
Missouri. Right now his engineers
are going forward with definite plans
designed to conserve our North Da-
kota water resources"
Let no one think great projects
just happen. They are brought about;
and the same rules that govern in the
business of every day life should ap-
ply in public affairs. In the election
of Henry Holt to the office Of United
States Senator it is not difficult to
foresee the advantages our state would
gain. 1t is not a matter OF sentiment
but sound common sense

IL radio broadcast, OF the CWA
work last fall and his declaration that
everyone was going to have Job. In
making this announcement he "jump-
ed the gun" on relief officials and
his invitation for everyone to write
him further emphasized his position
as the big gun in the relief picture.
Did Muster Votes
Subsequently, Of course. the fact
that the governor had nothing what
ever to do with the CWA or relief
administration was made clear to all
relief workers. but this information
never was widely disseminated, par
ticularly in the rural districts. The
record indicates that the mere making
OF an unjustified claim swayed thou
sands Of votes.
The second class of "chiseling" that
by applicants for relief, has consisted
Q! attempts to deceive the relief ad-
nainistration as to the condition OF the
applicant. Some Of these were delib-
crate. Others were due to a misunder-
standing as to the nature Of the en-
terprise.
In Emmons county. for example,
there lived farmer who applied for
help and who said he had to have it
right away. Relief folks say he actu-
ally shed tears as he told Of the plight
Of his family and livestock. Relief
was granted without waiting for the
usual investigation. A subsequent
check-up showed the man had plenty
Of feed for livestock on his farm. His
family was not in want. He had
money in the bank and over 1900
bushels Of grain in the elevator. His
case was referred to the federal dis
trict attorneys office.
In southeastern county a man
spplied for relief and the usual ques-
tions were asked. The investigator
was surprised to learn that the man
had $700 In cash. The man was sur
prised to learn that people with other
resources were not considered eligible
for relief. He had been informed that
the federal government was helping
everyone and that he could get
something, too.

said MArtineson had counselled Will
him occasionally On how best to per
form his duties.
Briefly cross-examined he said h,
was unable to identity handwriting o.
Exhibit No. 2 which was not his. H,
said he understood that when he wa!
withdrawn from duty near the lumber
yard he was replaced by a Northern
Pacific detective, but that he didn',
see the latter.
Patrolman Ebeling, second patrol.
man called, testified that Martinesor
had not been around the office Every
much" during the last three months
probably three to four hours a day
and that when he wanted to find the
chief he called the Grand Pacific
hotel.
Zuger, on cross-examination, asked
the patrolman II he couldn't find
Martineson without any difficulty
when he wanted him.
Ebeling replied, mo, sometimes
couldn't. We were supposed to find
him at the q. p. Hotel but he wasn't
always there"
Patrolman Hamro. fifth and final
witness testified he had been on the
police force for three years.
He said that Kavaney was with
drawn from duty at the lumber yard
because he (Hamro) was under the
impression that = box car was to be
robbed, and that he had given such
information to Martineson. When he
learned that the yard itself was to be
entered, Hamro said. he informed
Martineson Of such and the latter in
structed him to return to the yard and
ask the N. p. detective to watch the
yard as well as the lumber yard.
Hamro testified that he was unable
to find the railroad officer on his re-
turn trip. however. Hamro said he
had experienced little trouble In To-
eating Martineson at the G. p. Hotel
between 3 p. m. and 3 a. m, his hours
Of duty.
Under cross-examination, he testi-
fled that Martineson, though Laid
up" considerably. had given personal
assistance in many cases. He added
that Martineson's absence from the
station made the force ''one man short"
cften.

Of the relief agency and was granted
help. Later tho grapevine brought
in the report that he had money In
the postal savings bank. An investi-
cation Of this point was impossible
because the FERA had no access to
postoffice data under the federal law.
But the report was substantiated in
other ways to the satisfaction Of the
relief office and relief was with
drawn. This man had answered all
questions truthfuily. He handn't been
asked about postal savings.
In still another county q farmer
applied for feed relief. He asserted
that his land was not mortgaged: he
had a large herd Of unmortgaged cat
tic and other unmortgaged livestock,
together with some grain and hay on
hand. After setting these things
down, he swore that he could get
feed In no other way than through
the government. He was incensed
when his application was rejected,
contending that his neighbors had re-
ceived help and he was entitled to 1t
as much as they.
The effect Of such happenings IL to
add still further to the inequalities
which have been q major source OF
complaint against the relief admins
tration. Relief workers are only hu-
man and when they learn they have
been gypped In one case their natural
tendency Is to "crack down" on subse-
quent applicants. Thus the innocent
sometimes are made to pay for the
sins of the guilty.
FERA rules prevent refusing re-
lief to anyone who Is entitled to Il,
even II 1t Is clearly shown that the
applicant has ''chiseled" In the past
or has been caught in such IN effort.
The result is there is no effective way
of discouraging such attempts. The
whole thing depends on the honesty
Of the people.
What per cent Of people attempt to
"gyp" the relief system?
Relief officials look vague when you
ask this question because they have
kept no statistics, but common answer
Is mot more than five per cent"
A pretty good record in view Of the
pl essure under which some Of the
families on relief have lived in recent
