D. Bailey, he must have been badly rattled. Just how he happened to file the secet caucus pledge by mistake has not been revealed, but Comrade Wil- THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE the opposition. \ Do the voters want representatives in the legis- lature who pledge themselves to jump every time Boss Townley or‘Boss ‘Lemke cracks the whip over their backs. Is there any more vicious thrust against representative government or majority rule than the pledge Comrade William Prater in- advertantly gave to the world? The Burleigh county anti- Townley Republi- cans lave nominated a well balanced ticket cén- sisting of Len Sperry for state senator and Sem- ling, Heaton and Anderson for members of the lower house., These men will take no pledge save that imposed by the constitution of the state—the oath of office binding them to support the con- stitution of the United States and that of the state of North Dakota. This pledge to the people of their fealty is the only one that will actuate these gentlemen—not a secret pledge to a politi- cal machine whose sole object is the overthrow of representative and constitutional government and the substitution of a soviet system. GETS WHITEWASHED In a long winded resolution the county board of commissioners have completely whitewashed Chairman E. G. Patterson of any criticism in di- verting a road engine from county work. in order that it might be used on his farm. ‘ At the close of the meeting Chairman Pat- terson..took the resolution from. his. pccket. and proceeded to spread the whitewash with a lavish hand. foe Every commissioner with the exception of.Com- missioner Ward joined in tHe littte whitewash- ing party. Mr. Ward refused to assist in giv- ing Mr. Patterson the immunity bath and when it came to vote on the proposition he passed. Voters of the county know full well from this that Commissioner Swanson is completely within the domination of Mr. Patterson as well as are several of the other commissioners. Judging from the way the affairs of the county are being conducted over the protest of Commissioner Ward, it is high time for the voters to reject Commissioner Swanson and select Mr. Tierney and Victor Moynier both of whom are commissioners on the anti-Townley ticket. They are men deserving of the support of the men and women voters in their respective districts and can be depended upon not to wear .the Pat= tersonian collar. 2 : y 4, CBNTER FIGHT HERE : Burleigh county is of immense importance to the Nonpartisan league and the leaders are bend- ing every effort to win it back into the column of the organization. In June, Burleigh repudiated: « the Townley program and stepped into that group of counties which stand for an immediate return to constitutional government. Not a stone is going to be left unturned to carry the county in which the capital city is located and where most suits are instituted involving po- litical issues. In addition to putting over their state ticket in Burleigh, the hencemen of Townley want con- trol of the legislative delegation and most espe- cially the district judge and state’s attorney. At present E. S. Allen is the pliant servant of the nonpartisan league and the political bedfellow of E. G. Patterson. He is on the ticket which the “Bill” Prater voters’ school is circulating together with the slander on Miss Nielson. The league wants their representative here where criminal suits are instituted against state officials and investigations are made into charges of irregularities. That is the reason Mr. Allen is being supported. He is proud of his league affilia- tion and at various times was connected with the league’s fight made upon Minnie Nielson. It is not forgotten that this Edward S. Allen was at one time attorney for N. C. Macdonald in his brazen attempt to oust Miss Nielson from office. Associated with him in law practice is Joe Coug- Jan, law librarian, who also assists Mr. Townley’s legal department in Burleigh. It is essential to have a state’s attorney in this county who is not under the domination of Town- ley. F. E, McCurdy served the county well in the past and was defeated two years ago by, unfair liam Prater has performed a distinct service for tactics and the circulation at the eleventh hour of a political roorback, most vicious in type. He is entitled to the vote of the men and women who stand for a clean administration of that important office. As vigorous a fight is being made to supplant Judge Nuessle in this district as is being made to}, retain the services of State’s Attorney Allen Realizing that ‘there is little chance to elect Freerks of Jamestown, once disbarred for fraud, the league is trying to secure the election of Foster, a former “assistant attorney general and league special counsel at Bismarck. They hope through a lucky turn of the political wheel to land Foster and secure his assignment to Bismarck, transferring the other judge who may be selected to. Jamestown. Every effort should be put forth over the dis- trict to retain Judge Nuessle at Bismarck. It is a trying judicial post to fill because so many fac- tional quarrels reach the court which ‘have little merit and it takes a strong judge to maintain justice and strict impartiality. Judge Nuessle has kept his office above suspicion of political taint. He has some critics in every faction because he has refused resolutely to play factional politics. Judge Nuessle has been every inch a judge and regardless of the voters’ political affiliations they should support him and defeat the Townley plot to supplant him here. All that has been written here of Judge Nues- sle applies with equal force to Judge Coffey. He should be retained in this judicial district for the same reason, 2851) ys In the strife of the closing weeks of the cam- paign the voters are inclined to overlook these two important offices which are intended to safeguard the peace;\health dnd safety of the community. Don’t fail to support Judges Nuessle and Coffey and F. E. McCurdy for states attorney. Don’t let the league drag the judgeship in this district into the mire of factional politics. Let us rescue the office of state’s attorney. EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may or may are pre- ave both ‘discussed in not express the opinions of The Tribune. They sented here in order vhat our readers may aides of important issues which are the press of the day. / THE CAUCUS PLEDGE The Townley caucus pledge is to the front again. Through the clumsiness of an organiza- tion worker there was filed with the secretary of state in lieu a copy of the pledge exacted from league legislative candidates, and which, in this case, had been signed by one of the organizations candidates. : It was not intended that this pledge should be made'public. It will be remembered that when the practice of pledging candidates to be bound by the action of the caucus was exposed in-another cam- paign the, Townley press denied positively that such pledges had been exacted, and candidates were brought forward to sign statements denying that they had been .asked to sign such pledges. When the facts were sifted down it developed that, because of fear'or the effect, of the expogure of the practice, the pledge, which had originally been; in the exact form published by The Herald and other independent papers, had been slightly amended as to form, so that the pledge used later differed slightly in wording, but not at all in es- sential meaning. The practice of hog-tying candidates in ad- vance of their election continues. It is a vicious practice, absolutely with justification from any standpoint. It makes the legislator who is bound by it a puppet rather than an independent repre- sentative of his constituents. It makes him the slave of a chance majority, no matter how that majority may be obtained, whether by fraud, mis- representation or intimidation; and the Townley managers have usedall three. Such a pledge re- quires a legislator to vote at times in opposition to his own convictions and contrary to what he believes to be his duty to his state and his own’ constituents. ~..... ' There is one pledat@hat the new official is re- quired to take, and that pledge is sufficient for every purpose, ‘It is that he will support the con- stitution of the United States and that of the state of North Dakota. To add to or subtract from that pledge is to destroy its force and strike at the very foundations of our government, for one of the essentials ofthat government is that the lawmaker shall be abSolutely independent, free to use his own judgment on all questions that arise, and not to be molested for the use of his own judgment in performing what he believes to be his duty. There are two. or three questions which citi- zens may appropriately ask of every man who pre- sents himself before them as a candidate for legis- lative honors. Among them are these: Have you signed a pledge similar to that signed by L. D. Bailey of Burleigh County? Have you been asked to sign this or any sim- ilar pledge? : Would you sign such a pledge if asked to do so? If you have signed any pledge with reference to your legislative work, what is, its exact text? These are things that the people are entitled to know. They are things that the people need-to know before they can pass intelligently on the character and general fitness of the men who ask for their support fortany public position. If these questions are asked, and if he answers unsatisfac- tory, or refuses to answer, the voters should know f ISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE » 4 SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1920 FULL TEXT OF RE STATE FEDE The full text of the resolutions adopted by the state federation of clubs follows: Resolved: citizens of Bismarck, the of the Federated cluss, and the com- mercial, especia:ly the members of the various committees, our sincere appreciation of their hospicality dur- ing the 24th annual convention; That we extend thanks to all of those who contributed their ta eat and time to the success of this meet- ing; ‘That we extend to the Yadies of That we extend to the, members: the Presbyterian, Methodist, | ant Catholic churches our appreciation of their efforts to serve sjlendid meals during our stay in their city.

He Helps Pick the Candidates One night when... called atthe Henroost Center postoffice for my mail I see a new paper dmong it an’ I wondered what on earth it wuz So f* after I got home I sat down an’ looked it over. I see at once it was our new Nonpartisan paper an’ o’ all the fun- ny pictures I ever seen they wuz the best. Why it had ol Big Busjne3s pictured as a big fat feller with 2 big diamon’ ring on his ftuger an’ 3 big diamon’.in his necktiey. looked as big as a goose egg,an’ it*had a lot o’ pictures showin’ how the farm- ers got the worst end o’ it an’ a lot o’' readin’ tellin’ how the farmers would join all together fer their per- tectshun an’ how the big hogs would get no more swill. »J spose you've all seen these papers by now an’ 1 won't go into detales but it sure made a hit with the farmers. Si Hawkins came over to my place tickled. to death. “We'll show ’em Hiram,” sez he, we'll show ’em: “I’ve been do- in’ some figurin’ an’ I figure that 32 I'd got all that wuz comin’ to me ‘in- stead of bein’ cheated out 0’ most 9’ it I would be worth nearly a million by this time.” Wal,” sez I, “better not crow too loud, Si. Mebbe after you get what's comin’ to you, you'll he worse off than you be, I allers be- Neve in waitin’ before bein’ too sure. If them fellers do as they promis things will be all right, an’ if they} don’t we won't be any better off. But. anyway we’re not out much,’ / (The price to join wuz six dollars.) One day we all got letters, from headquarters tellin’ us to meet in the school house an’ pick out a candy- date, or I believe they called it rep- resentative, to go down‘an’ help pick the farmers’ ticket. | So on the day mentghuned we all went down as requested to the school house an’ after some considerable talkin’ it wuz decided that I be se- lected to represent the Henroost Cen- ter district when it came to picking the ticket, as I had been down to Fargo once or twice, an’ traveled con- siderable back an’ forth in my duties as assessor an’ also as deligate of tho Farmers Union when they met at Bas- com, forty miles distant. So, bein’ called on for a speech I riz an’ said I would do all [ could for the good o’ my community an’ thanked them for the ‘way they had shone their trust in me. Then we played a few; tunes\ on the phony-graf an’ went home. Sum time later I got a letter sayin’ all deligates wuz to meet at] certain places to pick deligates for) the conventshun,, so I went to the nearest place menshuned an’ once again T wuz picked to head the deliga- shun that wuz to go to the convent- shun. Finally, one day I got word that on such an’ such a day the meet- in’, or conventshun wuz to. be held in Fargo, an’ for me to be sure an’ be there. SoxI hired E. Swanson to do the chores while I wuz gone, packed. my grip, an’ started fer Fargo the day before the conventshyn wuz to| be called. I got thar about six,o’clock in the evenin’ an’ a bus took me to a hotel, where I got a room, washed up an’ went down to supper. Bein’ tired from my, long, ride I \went to bed early, an’ bright an’ early the next mornin’ I got up an’ started down, town. I met quite a few farmers with We'll Stick buttors on an’ o’ course thar wuz some, who had cum ‘down } ! with me, so we struck up quite an} acquaintance an’. stood talkin’ an’} sizin’ things up, until the time cum for the hall to be opened up when we all went in an’ set down. After awhile a feller cum: out on; the stage an’ said the meetin’ would | be called to order. “1 ’most forgot} to say. this meetin’ was sort o’ private; only the deligates ‘an’ others bein’ allowed in at first.

No one seemed to know anything against this feller so they let him stay gn the board. I talked to a lot o’ the deligates af- terward, an’ found none o’ them had ever heerd tell 0’ him before, him be- in’ a farmer, like us, an’ not very well know except in his immejet community. So after we had picked on him to lead our ticket we kept on right down the line, just as the organ- | izer had told us we would.
