LANCER REGIME CONDEMNED

Walhalla, N. D., Oct. S.-R-
United States Senator Gerald p. Nye
Sunday delivered his opening address
in support Of the candidacy Of
Thomas Noodle, Democratic candi-
date for governor, before q crowd Of
500 in the auditorium here.
He severely criticized the policies Of
ovsted Governor william LANCER. His
speech was interrupted frequently
both by applause and by heckling Of
LANCER supporters.
Congressman James Sinclair, OPEN
ing his campaign for reelection.
spoke from the same platform. an
nouncing that he Is seeking re-elec-
ton on the basis OF his record. He
asserted that by virtue Of his mem
bership on the house appropriations
and relief committees he Is in Z bet
ter position to serve the state than
any other candidate for congress.
Points to Record
Calling attention to his long record
a. q Nonpartisan Lacquer, Nye as
serted that he was the first editor Of
an independently owned newspaper to
support league principles. This. he
said, was as an editor at Fryberg.
He attributed Sinclair's defeat at the
Valley City convention and In the
June primaries to IN unwillingness
to become part Of the LANCER ma
chine.
Relative to the administration Of
the beer commissioners office under
the LANCER regime, Nye said that
neither the officials then in charge
nor the establishments which printed
the beer stamps seemed to have any
record Of the number Of stamps
ordered or printed.
He displayed q large batch OF beer
stamps which was scorched at one
corner, and said the pad had been
found In a furnace In the basement
OF the capitol after the new commits
sioEer had been named.
Nye did not charge corruption, but
termed the matter "at least deplor-
ably poor management" indicating,
that in his judgment, either the COM
missioner or printers should have
known the number Of stamps printed.
