Campaign One of Deceit Prior to the organization of the Nonpartisan League United States Senator Porter J. McCumber of North Dakota, asked for an expression of his opinion on the initiated law, for the nonpolitical election ballot, says that he is opposed to that law. It will be voted upon in the recall election, Oct. 28. The letter by Senator Porter J. McCumber on the proposed election law follows: “I am just in receipt of your favor of the 31st ultimo requesting a short statement of my opin- ion concerning the propriety of abolishing party lines in our election of state officers. “In my opinion this would be a most grave mis- take. Imagine an American’ congress composed of members, each and all of whom‘had been elected independently of and uninfluenced by any party principles, and what would result? Before that congress had been in session 30 days it ‘would crystalize. into well defined groups, each group representing a particular set of principles or pur- poses. These groups might be three or four, or five, or more. In other words, legislation would result from the dominant organization putting through its measures either independently of all the others, or in conjunction or combination with one or more of them. Legislation would still be the result of party organization. “Without such organization legislation would be spasmodic and unrelated. It is just as idle to talk of conducting a government without organized effort or put into force great governmental poli- cies and principles as it would be to talk of main- taining a living and successful church without a creed or set of guiding principles to lead and in- spire its members. Need Organized Membership “We not only must have the principles to guide our. course, but we must have the organized poli- tical party or organized membership of the church to effectuate our purposes. _ “Political organizations mean that every condi- tion, industrial and otherwise, affecting the wel- fare of the country will be considered. The policy to be advocated by each party to best fulfill the national aspiration for peace and prosperity can be presented through this organization to the peo- ple for their approval or rejection. “Tt is only in this way that the voter will know just what his ballot will mean. He not only wants to select a reasonably good man to,represent ‘him, but he also wants to know what that man stands tor. There are splendid men in the ranks of each party, but their views may be as dissimilar as black and white. “This voter not only is entitled to know what his representatives will stand for, but also that he will have with him an organized party that will assure to a reasonable degree that the remedy he seéks to apply to any governmental evil will be put into effect. “On the other hand, people who believe in cer- tain specified political doctrines can, through or- ganization, place such doctrines and policies be- fore the public for its approval. These things cannot be done unless political organization isin existence with its promulgated doctrines before the election. (3 Chaos Without Party Ns “Without party lines and party organization we would have a condition of chaos, not only in our legislative halls but throughout the country. No line of ‘business could forecast what shape‘fu- ture legislation might take.. We'need this organ- ization to guide the ship of state'as much as we need a North star or a compass ‘to guide a vessel’s course into the port of its destination. , “Every stable and well governed nation of the world is conducted through political organizations. The watchfulness of each political party compels the other at-all times to strive for the best possible results. It must do this to insure its own suprem- acy. It is through this everlasting vigilance and the whip of organized criticism that will always come to the greatest good to the greatest number. “Every line of human history; as well as every element ¢f philosophy, speaks the necessity for a governmnett by and through political organiza- jon. “These reasons apply with equal force to! the politics of state. As no government can be run in a stable and certain course except through party policies adopted and put into effect through party organization, the destruction of such organization would result in the same injury, whether the de- structive blow be struck’ by federal or state law. “This, being a government of, and by the people, the power. which adopts a policy is the voting pow- er in the state itself. The voter of the state should, therefore, have some clear party designa- tion to indicate that the person selected by his vote represents the policies which he wishes to be the guiding policies of the state and nation. Must Keep State Organization _. “Taking the Republican party as an illustration, it is easy to see that the national organization can only be perpetuated by keeping an active Repub- lican Organization in the state itself. “With the official machinery of-a state in the hands of ah opposing political party or a coterie which represents no party, the state might easily be wrested from a nominal Republican majority. _ “The very life of any great national organiza- tion must be sustained through equally strong or- ganizations in the several states; and any law in- tended to destroy party organization by. depriving the voter of the right to guide his vote by party designation, strikes at the very'heart of govern- ment by fixed law and policy. “Very sincerely Sours: “(Signed) P. J. McCumber,” ae £3 : VOTE NO ON ABOLISHING PARTY LINES IN NORTH DAKOTA. there was a growing but inarticulate resentment of in- telligent farmers and business and professional nien and women of North Dakota against the lack of sympathy for or failure to recognize the legislative needs of the greater elements of her citizénry. This resentment became erystal- ors in the program of the League in the campaign of 1916: . State ownership of terminal elevators, flour mills, packing houses and cold storage plants. State inspection of grain and grain dockage. Exemption of farm implements from taxation. State hail insurance on the acreage tax basis. Rural credit bank operated at cost. This program was. overwhelmingly indorsed by the woters of the state but failed of adoption in 1917 because of inability to control the senate in the legislative assem- bly of that year. The succeeding assembly was amen- able to the wishes of the League and its supporters and the same program slightly enlarged was enacted into law. With some modification it has, been in operation for a little more than two years. % * The opposition to the league fostered by its ousted predecessors and the malcontents cast, off from it has been intense. Every conceivable means has been used Scandals.” private and public, have been aired. Socialists,” “I. W. W.’s”. and “Bolshevists” have been the epithets most freely hurled. And now we are * to have a recall election at the special instance and re- quest of these supporters of this opposition in an effort to supplant League officials with their own adherents and to replace the League program with their own pro- gram. The voters of the state must again express a pref- erence—they must choose between a program adopted by an overwhelmng majority of the votes cast.at the gen- eral election five years ago and put into effect two years ago (not long enough for a fait trial) and a mongrel sub- stitute which comprehends, it is said. “1. To reduce the possible bonded indebtedness of the state other than farm loans from $12,000,000 to $7,750,- 000 and to authorize the issuance of bonds secured by first mortg@es on land (Rural Credit Bonds), mortgages to be limited to 50 per cent of the value of the land mort- gaged. School land money is loaned on that basis now. 2. To restore by the sale of new bonds, the funds, be- longing to townships, cities, villages, school boards and counties, that are now lost or tied up so as to not be available for current public expense. 7 : » 3. To safeguard public bonds so that no set of public ‘officials regardless of whether they are Independents, Nonpartisans, Republicans or Democrats, can ever again misuse public funds as our present Industrial Commis- ~sion, composed of Governor Fraziexy, Attorney General Lemke and Commissioner of Agriculture and. Labor Hagan, has done. ‘ 4. To take the Industrial Commission out of politics and limit its powers and operations to the Mill and Ele- vator business at Drake and Grand Forks and provide for completing and operating these and closing up the affairs of the Home Builders Association. 5.. To provide for the closing of the Bank of North Dakota and to establish a ‘workable Rural Credits System, patterned after the South, Dakota System under which thirty-six million dollars’ worth of bonds have been sold to people outside of the state and nearly that amount of money loaned to the farmers during the same period of time'that our officials have sold no bonds and made only a-few farm lcans d most of them to their political pets and then only using public tax money contrary to the provisions of the law authorizing the making of real estate Joans. 16.

All to be accomplished under certain laws to be ipiti- ated by a vote of the people at this recall election. The whole tenor of the proposed initiative measures is substitution, without real change, substitution of the state treasurer and the secretary of state for the governor and- the attorney general_aS members of the Industrial Com mission, substitution of a “North Dakota Rural Credits Board” for the Bank of North Dakota and substitution of private banks for the Bank of North Dakota as a de- positary of state funds. In effect, substitution of “I. V. Avs” fof Leaguers. 2 It is also proposed that the Home Builders Association shall be scrapped dnd the Mill and Etevator Association dwarfed; that the ballots for state elections shall not dis- close the party affilations of Nhe candidates; and that all naticnal party primary elections next preceding pre: dential clections shall be held’ in March. And tl changes are directed against the League and for its oppenents without regard to merit. Merely casual reflection is sufficient to convince any intelligent voter than the Anti-League program is preg- nant with deceit, and insincerity, unworthy of corisider- - ation. What absurdities are possible? For example, the present governor, attorney general and commissioner of agriculture and labor may be re-elected and the amend- ment of the law creating the Industrial Commission by changing its membership to comprise the state treasurer, the secretary of state and the commissioner of agriculture + and labor instead of the governdr, attorney general and commissioner of agriculture and labor carried. We should then have a principal part of the League program admi: istered by an unsympathetic, indeed, antagonistic commi: sion, for the state treasurer and secretary of state, poli- tical officers in every sense in which the governor and attorney general are political officers are anti-Leaguers. It isa matter of common sense that any movement or institution will fail quickly unless its activities are guided and thanaged by individuals enthusiastic for its success. Again, what can come of aylittle mill at Drake and another one at Grand Forks as the anti-Leaguers would have it with their initiative measure? They might. suc- ceed in a small way but could be of little value in the betterment of econcmic conditions in our state. They might better be dispensed with entirely than thus cut off. It is characteristic of most initiative measures that they are poorly drafted and those offefed at the impend- ing recall election are not exceptional. The proposed rural credits law is particularly objectionable on consti- tutional grouhds. \ Indeed, the feeling of one who has devoted consider- able time to the serious study of polities and government as he contemplates the political situation in North Da- ‘kota and its reaction upon the daily lives of her citizens becomes that of disgust—disgust with the intriguing men and women who would foist a political program of hypo- ¢risy , chicanery and malevolence upon the people of the state by means of a recall election at a time when dis- tress is more prevalent among them than perhaps ever before. ‘ A_red-blooded zen, mentally and physically alert and normal likes,fair play in politics as well as in sport. He takes conditions as he finds them, plays his part, and meets the issues which confront him squarely. He may doubt the wisdom of government participation in busi- ness, but he knows that dishonesty and corruption in politics cannot be tolerated. He knows that the League has played fair and that the “I. V. A’s” have not. He will vote accordingly to re-elect Frazier, Lemke and Hagan and to defeat the initiative measures.
