National Commit-| teeman William Stern and Erickson} sat in at a Fargo conference where! the consent was secured that Erick-| son was to become enrolled with the Hoover state organization and to be| placed upon the payroll of the na-| tional Republican organization. ! Democrats here declare that their) chances of carrying the state for De-} Puy and Roosevelt have been en- haneed by this arrangement. They regret lack of lunds and an organiza- tion to get the message to the people. Leaders frankly ndmit that it is no{ easy job to whip a party into an ac- tive campaign which has been dor- mant in this state so many years’ because of the peculiar alignment on; state issues. The Democrats declare they have had to build their political! fences over from the very bottom and it is not a very easy task at a time; when the depression is acutely af-} fecting campaign coffers. They con- tend that the deal arranged by Stern, Langer and Erickson on the Hoover drive in North Dakota carried with it a promise of funds to finance the state and national campaigns hand- in-hand. Forces active in nominating Langer at Bismarck, it is charged, looked months ahead toward the con- summation of this arrangement which! may or may not mean the loss of! many votes to the Leaguers. Those who play politics usually cut the corners sharply and leaders con- cerned with the Sterns-Erickson coup feel elated that they have prevented the anti-League Republicans from go- ing over in a body to DePuy or spend- ing any money in his behalf for fear of injuring Hoover's chances more than they already have been dam- aged by the plight of the farmers. ** * Democrats are pointing to the fact, too, that Langer has two messages— one for the farm and one for thej city. There were scouts present at the Republican banquet in the base- ment of the United Lutheran church when Lemke rose at the feast and purged himself of any suspicion of being tainted with the Hoover-Curtis deal. That statement marred an oth- erwise happy political evening. It sent Lemke’s stock booming with the farmers, said his friends. Langer won friends at the banquet, ft is admitted. He eulogized Con- gressman Burtness, whom the Leag- uers defeated. Sensing some resent- ment in Grand Forks over his espousal of the Piek report at New Rockford and references to profes- sors at the university whom Langer contended at New Rockford don’t have work enough, he told his audi- ence that if elected governor the Uni- versity of North Dakota would have |“ the best friend in him it ever has had in any chief executive. He said many other nice things about the Univer- sity. Not a word about cutting ex- Penses or combining departments, as was done in the famous Labor Day | address. Tribute to Sorlie : Mr. Langer also gave a very grace- ful tribute to the late A. G. Sorlie.! former governor, for years a resi- dent of Grand Forks. He spoke of him as one of the best governors the state had ever had. This, too, was to| appease in part an attack Langer had! made over the radio during the pri-i talking for publication, however. The Progressive Republicans want- ed T. H. Thoresen for their nominee | instead of Langer. Now Mr. Thore- sen is happy in his candidacy for dis- trict judge. He is reported to have drawn strong support for this office | from all political factons. refused to be drawn into any political alignment which would have broken} the political and social ties of a life- time. He took his defeat manfully| and maintains the confidence and! friendships made in many political | battles. | Ancther point made at the banquet ; by Langer was that press reports of | his New Rockford address were gar- | bled. As he started his Grand Forks address, he asked the representative | of the Grand Forks Herald to come: closer and see that he “got him right” | nd that there would be no morc, mistakes like the ones made in re-/ porting the New Rockford speech. * * Reaction to the defeat of the La-{ Follette forces in Wisconsin is being cited by the Democrats as an impor-; tant political trend. Progressive Re-j publicans in Wisconsin, they contend, went over in large numbers to the Democratic party. They realize that LaFollette’s influence in a party dom- inated as it is could avail nothing. His insurgency within the Repub- lican party has proven their own un- doing, some Democrats believe. Like| the insurgent Republican candidates in this state there was a general si- lence upon the Hoover candidacy inj the Wisconsin primary. Political fac- | tions in Wisconsin, it is pointed out. | tried to forget national politics in the | state campaign. The Democrats, however, made a determined effort to get every voter of Democratic leanings back into the fold so as to be in shape for the No- vember election. Many Democrats in| Wisconsin of progressive tendencies! have linked their forces with the La-| Follette wing of the Republican party} just as Democrats in North Dakota | believing in what the Nonpartisans stood for, went into Republican pri- maries to help those candidates. ( With a national election pending in, November, it is apparent. ceclare| Democrats in explaining the Wiscon-' sin results, that the back-sliding fol- lowers of Jefferson have returned to the fold and brought with them many farmers of Republican persuasion who won't support Hoover or his program. | They point also the moral that such/ a development may happen in North Dakota. Whether it will cut deeper than the head of the national ticket they do not care to say. But they, are hopeful that the trend in Wis- consin means a solidification in North Dakota behind Roosevelt and the en- tire Democratic state and con- gressional ticket. * ek * As proof that Langer has different | stories to tell in different places,; ; Democrats in the Red River Valley} are telling a story regarding Langer’s| appearances in German communities. Speaking to a crowd which is pre- ponderantly German in some western i sections, they are telling their Nor-| wegian friends, Langer makes an ap-| peal something like this: | “There are too many Norwegians in the state offices. Why, if you go| up there you find Norwegians every- | where, and mighty few Germans. The only jobs the Germans have are those of cleaning the spittoons in the state offices. “When I am elected governor I am going to fill those offices with good Germans and let the Norwegians clean the spittoons.” Those purveying the story mention different times and different places at which the “promise” is said to have been made. ———____-__--—_-e Stickler Solution | Sight travels faster than sound, so Jones, who saw the smoke of the rifle, was first to know the gun had been fired.
