In the gen- eral confusion that followed, the anti-Townley vote became divided between three newspapers, but in spite of this handicap, The Tribune in Bismarck secured more votes than all the opposing newspapers combined, In many rural precincts, it received a good yote | and we desire to thank those who so kindly remem- bered us. : Under a referred law that stands a very good chance of’ suecess, much of the legal business will be released from the operation of the law whieh The Tribune has always denounced as one of the most Vicidus thrusts against a free press ever edn- ceived outside of Russia. Unfair tactics used at the eleventh hour were hard to combat. Hundreds of people wverlooked the newspapers at the foot of the ballot, and the additional fact that no organized campaign was made for votes except for the league paper, militat- ed against success. . Proud of the endorsement at the hands of the people of Bismarck, The Tribune proposes to hew to the line as in the past with justice to all and malice to none. ELECTION RESULTS North Dakota has repudiated Townley in sev- eral important instances as the returns are studied. The administration of the Bank of North Da- kota and the drive on Miss Nielson have been re- buked by the voters both aligned with and op- posed to the Nonpartisan league. It is one of the mysteries of the election that J. ¥. T. O’Connor election returns, They have done what in most states is done by one or two great papers in great cities. The Tribune, cooperating with the Fargo Forum, Grand Forks Herald, Minot Daily News and Mandan Pioneer, with assistance from other independent newspapers in North Dakota, have maintained a leased wire system -for gathering returns. They have spent thousands of dollars in telephone and telegraph tolls to give this ser- vice to the state. Though the Townley newspapers have had the benefit of public funds, through the Brinton sys tem of appointive official newspapers, they did not respond to the opportunity for service. Even the leading organ of the Townley papers ap- parently made little effort to accomplish the pains- taking task of compiling returns. .Instead it shouted “Frazier victory.” Indeed, in Fargo'it has been charged that a “league ring” has used an underground system of getting ° es-. timates from paid county managers to be used in betting while.the independent papers were going ahead gathering the news for the people. As always, the first returns showed a big majority for the anti-Townley candidate. This wasn’t true in the primary. No attempt was made by the independent papers to “elest” on superficial returns. : They went after the news. Some persons may complain of the slowness of returns, but they have not been confronted with the work of gathering them. Many rural precincts are always late in reporting, unneces- sarily late. The fact that the polls are open so late and no voting machines are used makes the work different from most states. ; The independent papers, however, difficult the job that falls their-lot; at the frequent North Da- kota elections, cheerfully accept the task, for their \ business is service and their strength lies in giv- ing it. EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reprodiiced in this column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune. ‘They are presented here in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being dis- cussed in the press of the day, CALLS FOR SOBER THOUGHT The New York Times (Democratic) says: “The Republican’ majorities, colossal, unpar- alled, will give. that party occasion for present frenzied rejoicing, later for much sober thought. There is no precedent for the figures which the returns brdught in last nights" Cities and towns gave Mr. Harding majorities that in an ordinary election would be ample for states. When Dem- ocratic strongholds like Boston and New York city give Republican majorities such as the Dem- ocrats themselves have rarely achieved, it is plain lost in the’ face of the vote given the initiated ‘that extraordinary forces have been loosed to measures and that accorded Miss Minnie Nielson. But Mr. O’Connor had a serious handicap be- cause of the presidential and senatorial contests. Nationally North Dakota is practically unani- mous.’ Cox will fail to poll the normal Democratic vote. Thousands of Democrats flocked to the Ré- publican column to vote for. Harding because of their eagerness to repudiate ‘the Wilson policies. | Many Republicans voted a straight Republican ticket rather than change a habit that is chronic | with quite a large number of voters. It is estimated in some counties where Cox re- ceived almost a neglible vote that straight tickets were quite prevalent. Independent anti-Townley legislators probably will control both branches of the legislature. This is a serious blow to Townley’s prestige and means that the secret caucus will no longer dominate as it has in the past. High handed tactics of the Tonwley organiza- _ tion. met with a stern rebuke in the referendum as expressed by the vote on the initiated measures. It will be possible now to ascertain the opera- tions of the bank and the white light of publicity should beat in, if the officials designated perform their duty vigorously. Thirty‘days must elapse before the secrets of “that institution are re- vealed and the public givén an account of the manner in which public money is handled. Counties under the passage of the initiated measures can control their public money which will end the favoritism shown in the redepositing of funds under the present regime. There is nothing for the Anti-Townley organi- zation to feel depressed about. The voters have shown plainly that they do not approve of Town- ley’s methods in the administration of the ‘Bank of North Dakota and if that examination sub- stantiates what has been reported, the electorate will have an even more decisive answer for Town- ley than developed in the vote’on governor. ; The toe hold secured at the’ June primaries has been strengthened and though league con- trol is slipping only gradually, the day of complete redemption is near at hand. All praise to the earnest workers, both men and women in this and other countries of the state, who put up one of the most wonderful campaigns in the history of the state. The women assisted greatly in maintaining and increasing the points of victory gained by the men in the June, primaries. They will not be wanting when the next call to duty comes. | GATHERING RETURNS Gathering election returns is a big task for newspapers in every state. Especially is it dif- ficult and burdensome for the newspapers in North Dakota. The independent papers in North | Dakota have again assumed the work of compiling produce these astonishing results. “It wag of predestination that the Republicans should win. They knew that long ago. It is 80 years since the country has had two Democratic ; administrations in succession. The American electorate is proverbially fond of a “change.” Without the League of Nations issue to stir their prophets to warnings of certain war under Article X., the Republicans would have carried the elec- tion by a heavy majority. The taxes, the un-| rest, the multitudinous harassments that were | the progeny of the war would have roused a-very general desire to put the Democratic party out of power. in “Of that feeling the Republicans made the ut- most use. They’ stirred up new and special hat- reds of the administration. With all the resources of exaggeration they laid upon it the faults of which it had been guilty and invented new ones with which it could not honestly be charged. Discarding all scruple; putting aside every feel- ing of respect and consideration for a great leader stricken in the service of his country and of hu- manity, they fed the flames of personal resent- ment against Mr. Wilson. “Now Senator Harding must turn his thoughts to the future, and it is a future with grave re- sponsibilities and eridd8 émbarrassments. It will not be a small matter either to grant or to refuse the demands certain to be made upon him -by the millions who gave him their votes for reasons alien to Republican or American principles, They will point to the enormous majorities they con- tributed and demand their recompense. 4 “His problems will be the nation’s and he will have the loyal support of the nation in his en- | deavors to solve them.. The hope that he may have a successful administration will be uni- versal.” BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE VEMBER 5, 1920. n SON \ \ N : OUR BLUE try was plunged into the bloodiest war of its history Peaceful easy-go- ing Uncle Sam found hjmself in a death grapple with the greatest mjli- taristic. despot the world had ever een, and he knew it must be'a fight 0 the finish Our country either must prove itself the victor or perish van- quished So he took the,step that. had to be taken—he aligned himself with those countries that for nearly three years had been holding the foe at bay at a'fearful cost in both money and lives.

Years were lived during,each month of the conflict. Only those who passed through the experience can know what the eleventh of November nineteen hun- dred eighteen meant. It was as if the mighty hand of God had intervened, placing itself over the fiery cannon’s mouth, ile His voice .could_ be heard saying: “It is finished: War shall be no more.” Brave little moth- ers who during the strain of the con- flict kept up their courage, and cheered others by their words of hope and confidence, broke down and ‘wept such tears of joy and thanksgiving as were never wept before in the world, while sweethearts and wives longingly looked forward to the return of their loved ones. What a shout of joy and gladness went up from the throats of strong men and women when they knew for certain the armistice was signed and the long cruel war was at an end! And what celebrations were planned for the reign Of our heroes, and when | the longy apn rolled in at last and our boys were home again, everyone did all they could to show their ap- preciation of your bravery.and dar- ing. Nothing was too good for you then. Sometimes I think that we Americans'are too excitable. We want to do everything at once—and then forget about it. I think it was this way when our boys came home anda good many of you felt that you were unfairly used. You were banqueted, cheered and treated —- and then, in many cases, left to shift for your- selves as best you could. But, perhaps after all this was best. You soon found a job and settled down to normalcy once more. Your past harrowing experience growing di mes and dimmer in your mind, where- as if you had been compelled to relate them frequently they would have con- tinued to remain fresh in your mem-| ory. When you have grown old an have grand children clustering around you, no doubt you will take pleasure in relating your, experiences during war-—-but not now; the wound is too fresh. \: This is the second anniversary of} ing, and, I hgpe Uncle} gitke it,a. natipnal holi- ves’it to you to do'this.
