Spaulding, of Fargo, Sveinbjorn | Johnson, of Grand Forks and T. G. Nelson, of Fargo, heads of the Re- publican, Democratic and Independent Voters Association factions of the committee of 21, respectively, thor- oughly outlined the situation. t Why of fnitiated Measures. Nelson answered questions, explain- ing that if the constitutional amend- | ment or initiative measures would be | carried at an election and the recall | of Frazier, Lemke and Hagan fail, {the amendments and initiative laws would put the execution of the amend- ed laws and power in the sale of more marketable bonds in the hands of State Treasurer John Steen, and Sec- retary of State Tom Hall, Independ- ents, so that the Nonpartisan league will not gain control of the improved conditions to result from the laws. The fact which really had more than anything else to do with the suc- cess of the recall, however, was ac- cording to A. B. Jackson, of Devils Lake, a member of the committee of 21 was that the Nonpartisans appar- ently had made arrangements for the sale of from $2,000,000 to $4,000,008 more of state induserial bonds of North Dakota. “Then all of the citizens of North Dakota would be in the frying pan sizzling in the fat with the Nonpeyti- sans,’ he said. That policy of watch- ful waiting, while the league officials “plunged themselves into a state of financial helpfulness, would be costly to the other citizens of the than Nonpartisans.” The pending recall automatically blocks the sale of bonds, Jackson said.
