4 a J THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1 ,1932 (. 0. P. CHAIRMAN NINE N. D.-MEN T0 DECLARES HOOVER SWING I$ MARKED Everett Sanders Wires Message of Optimism to William Stern At Fargo Fargo, N. D., Nov. 1—(?)—A Hoo- ver swing so definite that in the pe- riod from Oct. 22 to Oct. 29 thd presi- dent received a majority in the Hearst newspapers’ poll of straw votes in encugh states to give him a total of 288 electoral votes is reported in a telegram to William Stern, Republi- can national committeeman for North Dakota, from National Chairman Everett Sanders. Sanders’ telegram reads: “The Hoover swing is so definitely set that for the period of Oct. 22 to Oct. 29 the president received a ma- jority of Hearst poll of straw votes in enough states to show a total on 288 electoral votes. He received 60 per cent of the votes cast in those states and approximately 54 per cent of all votes cast during this period. Liter- ary Digest straw votes all cast before Oct. 1, thus not reflecting the tre- mendous change in sentiment that has set in starting after the Des Moines speech and assuring us of vic- tory.” The Literary Digest poll, cited by Democr@ts as conclusive evidence of a Roosevelt. victory, has been chal- Jenged by Republican leaders as far from indicative of that result because its ballots, they claim, were largely marked and mailed before the “big push” of the Republican offensive got under way. With election a week away, the ar- tillery of both parties in the shape of nationally known speakers is concen- trated in the doubtful states with the middlewest receiving a good share of the current verbal barrage. North Dakota's role as host to vis- fling speakers, “big guns” of both parties, is about played out. Fred W. McLean, Democratic state chairman, said Tuesday that as far as he knew the state had seen the last of visit- ing Democratic orators. Unless some- thing unforseen develops the remain- ing days of the campaign will be con- | fined to routing work and talks by lo- cal leaders of Democracy, who, like their Republican opponents still are shifting from town to town within the state boundary lines. Stern, announcing that a contem- plated address by Fred R. Zimmer- man, former governor of Wisconsin, at Valley City, Saturday, had been cancelled, said the Republican camo had turned its attention largely to the midwest country, and that North Dakota likely would see no more im- portant national figures bearing the Hoover message. Commission Clears Way for Pavement Bismarck's city commissioners Mon- day evening cleared the road for the paving of a mile and a half of U. S. y No. 10 eastward from the passing a resolution insuring state highway department the the city will not permit encroachment up- on the highway right-of-way. ‘The -resolution affects that part of venue between Ninth and Twenty-sixth Sts.

There was plenty of mischief all Monday evening as the youth of the city disported itself, playing the usual Halloween pranks and trying the patience of quick-tempered folk. Some pranks were droll, some very funny, while others were frankly ma- licious. Local police said that there was much activity in all sections of the city but that little property damage FUL the greatest number of complaints was from motorists who had lost ra- diator caps from automobiles parked in the streets. There also was a heavy toll of gar- bage cans and daylight found scores of them scattered far and wide, their contents strewn about the streets. ‘One malcontent ruefully explained at the police’ statign that someone had generously sprinkled asafetida | over the cushions in his automobile. He said that while driving to work, his clothes had become permeated with the drug's nauseating odor and that fellow-workers in disgust had driven him from his office. Garages were doing a brisk busi- ness in removing soap and wax from automobiles and hundreds of house- wives were performing the same scrv- ices on windows of residences.

DUFFIELD, President. , YOU WILL BE ASKED TO TAKE THE PART OF A MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATURE MEMBERS HEAR BOTH SIDES OF DELIBERATION. North Dakota’s experience in the matter of direct legisla- tion, under the provisions of the initiative and referendum, has been anything but satisfactory, anything but salutary. In the present year, our people have been called upon to vote on a great variety of issues which properly are the busi- ness of the State Legislature, and which body is in position to give them the consideration to which they are entitled. Not that the people, themselves, are lacking powers of discretion, but under the peculiar operations of the initiative section of our Constitution it is not possible to give to proposed measures the type of consideration to which they are entitled. On November 8, next, when our voters go to the polls, they are going to be asked to vote the repeal of a law that they adopted less than four months ago, namely, the law that outlaws mortgages on growing crops. A certain substantial section of our people has come to the conclusion that that particular law is injurious to the welfare of the farming industry, and has ini- tiated a proposed law that would repeal the measure that we enacted in June. Thus we see one side of the operation of the initiative, as practiced in North Dakota. In the period since we adopted the initiative and refer- endum as a part of the law making machinery of this state, we have been required to vote tpon @ tremendous range of sub- jects—such subjects, for instance, as the definition of what con- stitutes bootlegging; proposed dissolution of the Bank of North Dakota; proposals for bond issues aggregating more than 30 millions of dollars; we have been voting on Sunday theaters and cigarets, on moratoriums and on salaries, on courses of study in our schools and on prohibition: Surely, in the face of this experience, in the face of the record of the past, isn’t it time to call a halt? At the General Election Nov. IF YOU HAVE CAREFULLY CONSIDERED ALL OF THE INITIATED MEASURES FROM EVERY ANGLE, YOU ARE IN POSITION TO ASSUME THE PART OF A LEGISLATOR AND VOTE FOR OR AGAINST PROPOSED NEW LAWS. IF NOT IT WOULD BE WISE TO.... AND LEAVE LAW MAKING TO THE LEGISLATURE IT SPENDS 60 DAYS FOR NO OTHER PURPOSE THAN TO “STUDY PROPOSED NEW LAWS. ‘VERY QUESTION AND MAKE DECISIONS AFTER CARE- : Isn’t it time for us, as a people, to “Thumbs down” the various and indiscriminate proposals that come from this or that faction or interest, with the thought of serving .notice that the election booth is no place in which to settle such contro- versial issues. ; The most effective manner in which to serve such notice is by voting against the several measures that have been ini- tiated and upon which we will vote in November. By so doing, we will, as a people, declare our independence of this in-season and out-of-season recourse to the initiative for the settlement of minor subjects that, by all theories of representative gov- ernment tested in the fire of experience, should be'settled with- in the halls of the Legislature, the body that represents all of us. Next January, another Legislature will be convened, and we firmly believe that the people of North Dakota should look forward to that Assembly and commit to it the several issues that have been presented for our individual vote in November. Not that we, as a people, are not qualified to pass on these sub- jects—but it must be remembered always that a wrong deci- sion made in an initiative election, is virtually beyond cure. _ In addressing itself to the voters of North Dakota in this wise, this Association believes that it is serving the best inter- ests of the people of the state as a whole. The initiative and referendum, born of the theory that they should be employed only in the event of extreme emer- gency, has fallen to low estate through the experience we have had in the last few years, and the voters have an opportunity, on November 8, to record their dissatisfaction with the whole theory if they will but vote “No” on the various initiated measures that will be before them at that time.
