Hillsboro Condemns. Governor Frazier yesterday received a letter from C. E. Leslie of Hillsboro, who suggests to the chief executive that “freedom of speech does not give the right to utter vulgarity or pro- fanity, or talk sedition and treason; and do you not think you are going tco far when you invite a lot of peo- vle to come to this state and hold a meeting which the people of other states have refused to countenance?” Rank and File Disapproves. The rank and file of the Nonparti- san league, loyal, patriotic American citizens, genuine farmers and men whose only aim seems to be better- ment of the-conditions under which they are required to live and labor and the improvement and advance- ment of their country as a: whole, do | not approve of the tactics which have} | been employed by public. officials and others in North Dakota who seem an- xious to hamper in every way.
