POSNER PAGE 8 BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE REPUBLICANISM MUST DRIVEOUT RED SOCIALISM Job of Housecleaning Cannot Be Delegated to Bi-Partisan Organization SELB FOR LINCOLN LEAGUE Contending that the republican par- ty must purge itself of socialism and become the future hope of this coun- try, and asserting that the demo- cratic party, already on the high road to socialism, cannot be relied upon to cooperate in this work, Attorney John i. Selb of Drake has answered At- torney Theodore Koffel’s plea for a continuation of the Independent Vot- ers’ association as follows: Nov. Mr. Theodore Koftfel, ‘Sec. Independent Voters’ Ass'n., Bismarok, North Dakota. Dear Sir: Have your communication, re Inde- pendent Voters’ association. My un- derstanding of your suggestion is. that republicans continue a “gentle- men’s agreement” to fuse, and keep alive the organization as it existed in the late campaign. As a republican, and speaking for inyself alone, I cannot subscribe to this plan, nor can J give it my ap- proval. Briefly, | will state my ob- Jections. 1 believe that the socialist: element now dominating the republican party organization must be driven out. This can be done within the party only. True republican principles must be adhered to in the primary elections, and a strong ticket representing those principles, and unalterably opposed to the socialists’ candidates and their principles, will eventualy drive the Nonpartisans into a camp of their own. The issues which will be fought out in 1920 will be shaped during the next 12 months. The publicans have the senate and house in the na tional congress. Thee will undoubt- edly be a fight within the democratic party. The Wilson “policies” will oposed by many democrats from states safely democratic. The Wilson “poli cies” are strongly socialistic, and should they win out, | look for the Non-partisan league in North Dakota turning over its support to the Wil- son-Gompe! aker wing of the dem- ooratic party. The republican party would, under those conditions be a non-entity in this state. Fusion—or an agreement to fuse, would in my opinion be a mistake. It would weaken the party; it would break down the morale of the individuals. I am satisfied that when the “crisis” comes, the republi- cans of North Dakota will land right. The pro-German element, which, be- cause of the war, has loyally support- ed Frazier and the Non-partisan can- didates, will gradually get back to its former alignment. Because of the Townley raid. the re- publican party in North Dakota needs a thorough renovation—merely send- ing it to the democratic laundry won't clean it. There can be no alignment upon issues in 1920 if we fuse with the democrats. We must fight the in- vaders within our party in the party primaries. From a party standpoint this would give us a good party char- acter, and parties, like men, must have characters. The big issues now in the making will demand real leader- ship and that leadership can be foun on'y the repudlican party. Social 0, 1918. ism will have to muster itself under! its own standard. fighting under stolen colors or plat- forms. whatsoever. Jt will mean a complete regeneration of the party. The republican party, in the great reconstruction work, after the treaty of peace, will again lead with its characteristic statesmanship. The pigmies of the Frazier and Townley type will be heard only at their own requiem. I'm for fighting it out within our own party in the state, and then fighting |the democrats in the nation. And to this end, | am very much in favor of keeping alive the “Lincoln Republican League’ with a “Lincoln club” in every township, village and city in the state, to take an active part in all township, village and city elec- tions, and to carry on the fight at the general election in the fall .in county and state. Yours very truly, ANS TO ATTEND ST. PAUL MEETING Adjutant General of North Da- kota Will Discuss Future of National Guard St. Paul, Minn., Dec, 3.—The future of the national guard and — various phases of a universal training law are to be discussed at a conference of adjutant generals of Northwestern states to take place at the capitol in St. Paul, December 11 and 12. The call was ‘issued by the adjutant gener- al of Minnesota, a member of the ex- ganization of adjutant generals. s The adjutants of South Dakota, Wisconsin and Iowa, have accepted in- vitations to attend. Replies are being awaited from North Dakota and Ne- braska Adjutant General G. Angus Fraser advised this afternoon that he would represent North Dakota at this con- ference. He had no inside informa- tion to give out as to the purpose of the meeting. He expressed confidence, however, in the future of the national guard, so far as North Dakota is con- cerned, at least.

There will be no luncheon and no formal speaking program, The ses- sion will be one of business only. The members or stockholders of the or- ganization will select their trustees and generally discuss the things that are to be done if Bismarck is to keep pace with other progressive north- western cities, The last two years have been a pe- riod when the energies of the club were concentrated almost entirely up- on war work, in which it has assumed a leading role and played it well.

Government Justified in Pork Policy Which Now Provides Chief Sup- + ply to Meet Three Billion Pound Fat Shortage. In Ine with the general plan of con- servation formulated by the U.S. Food Administration immediately following the entrance of the United States into the war the contribution made by the meat producers of this country to the war program is of particular signifi- cance, as it demonstrates the hearty co-operation accorded the Food Ad- ministration by the m2at producers of the country. According to reports of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, there was an increase in cattle of 10,238,000 head and 12,441,000 hogs, these figures com- piled to January 1 last. In the same period there was a decrease of 819,000 head of sheep, but. indications are this decrease will show an increase follow- ing the latest reports. Since January 1 unofficial informa- tion indicates an increase in hogs of not less than eight per cent. and not more than fifteen per cent. compared with one year ago, with an increase in average weight. Following the request of the Food Administration “for increase in hog production for the fall of 1918 and the spring of 1919 the increase may yleld not less than 1,600,000,000 pounds more of pork products than were available last year.. Without this in- crease the shipping program arranged by Mr, Hoover regarding animal food products would have‘been impossible. The dressed hog products during the three months ending September 30. 1917, amounted to 903,172,000 pounds, while for the same months of 1918 the production was 1,277,589,000 pounds, an increase of over 374,000,000 pounds for the quarter. During the same period in 1917 In- spected slaughter records of dressed beef showed 1,263,000,000 pounds as against | 1,454,000,000 pounds for the three month: period énding September 1, this year. * We must increase our meat ship- ments, especially our pork products, to meet the added demands of the mil- lions liberated from! German oppres- sion, And at the’same time we must look forward to the rehabilitation of the European meat herds, The policy which guided our meat program in the past year has been ‘flilly justified, for only the heavy pork froduction which It -has brought about will enable us even partly to satisfy the increased demands on us for the coming year. There will be a world shortage in fats, and it is to the United States that Eu- rope must look to supply its deficien- cy.’ At the same time there will con- tinue to be heavy demands for beef. Owing to the limited refrigerator ship- ping capacity European imports of beef for some time will be limited. The United States, Australia and Argentine will be able to maintain a supply that will keep all available freezer vessels operating at cepacity. America’s Pledge to the Allies When Their Lines Were Breaking America will send, the food, what- ever needs for victory. They believed, they stood fast and with our men they carried on—to victory. THE TEST NOW FULFILLED. This government is nothing mote than the expression of the people, and if we are to win the war it will be only because every man, woman and child charges himself daily and hourly with the test, Does this or that contribute to win the war?—Herbert Hoover, April 18, 1918, With the solemn obligation of pro- viding that “margin” of food that would safeguard against starvation our friends in Europe the housewife and the consumer have learned hither- to ignored and unsuspected things about food, have absorbed a whole “college education” in food values, food handling, buying and substituting that they will not want to forget. Our voluntary foed-saving not only saved the Allies and made vital contri. bution to the winning of the war, but saved to ourselves in administration expenses the outlay out of our own pockets that agy effective system of rationing would have extracted. It would have cost us about $45,000,000 to have policed. ourselves as against the 2 cents per capita for co-operating, By saving and sharing America kept the world together during the war cri- sis.

Snelling and Des Moines, and the base hospital, Camp Dodge. Miss Louise -Hoermann, superin- tendent of the Bismarck hospital, in terviewed on thé subject this morn- ing states that she had had no recent communication from the war depart- ment relative to the use of the local hospitals. ‘She stated, however, that both of the Bismarck hospitals were listed .with the war department for use as base hospitals in case of need. Just at present both of the hospitals have about all the patients they can care for. “The needs of the civil population no doubt will be taken into considera- tion in assigning wounded, soldiers to hospitals,” said Miss Hoermann.
