Shafer, Repub- ler candidate for the governor- ship. In commenting upon the an- nouncement of Governor Walter Maddock’s candidacy for the gov- ernorship, Shafer branded the new litieal development in North Da- ‘ota as “the starting of needless fight between the League and In- dependents, which rests entirel; upon those who have initiated it.” Shafer expressed regret that “certain elements in the state have seen fit to renew the contest for ernorship this fall. No le good can come of this move, uch unnecessary political fric- tion, turmoil and useless contention will result,” he declared. “In the June primaries all the is- sues respecting state policies and candidates were thoroughly and fairly canvassed and a decision rendered by the voters. Upon the eer of the capes rece the in- trial program, issue was determined against the League, but #3 to the nomination of federal, state and legislative candidates, the| p; verdict was divided about equally between the Independents and Non- partisans. This result was accepted, in the spirit of cooperatoin and good sportsmanship, by the it: major- ity .of the people of North Dakota as final for this cam .

For many years it been the practice of the Repub! nominee to make no definite c paign prior to the fall election, as the Democrats have never been con- sidered sufficiently dangerous to warrant the action. This year, however, the indications are the Republicans will consider it necessary to make a campaign.
