THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1932 SAYSNOPARTSANS SECRETLY SUPPORT HOOVER CANDDACY P, W. Lanier Cites Guide Card as Positive Proof of His Assertion Asserting that Nonpartisan League Jeaders “are on the fence in the pres- idential race in so far as public) speeches are concerned, but in the, background have been working and/ using their influences to reelect Her- hert Hoover.” P. W. Lanier, Demo- cratic candidate for U. S. senator, in ®@ speech here Sunday night charged a “political deal” has been made by “certain Nonpartisan League leaders} to protect political jobs.” Lanier said a guide card, carrying the names of Hoover presidential electors and the full list of League Republican nominees is being circu- | they knew that you. the voters, were lated. He said the cards come from Bismarck, declaring the card carries @ Bismarck printing label. H Discussing the presidential candi- | dates, Lanier said “the Republican candidates in North Dakota, with one exception, have not “had the nerve to come out in the open and take a stand on this, the most im- portant issue in the minds of the! voters of the nation today, because voting ror the election of that great liberal, Franklin D. Roosevelt.” “In order to accomplish indirectly | that which they know cannot be} done directly and used in the open,! they have at the last minute put in- to circulation over the state this guide card,” he said. “At the top of this card are the names of E. H. Brant, Nels Magnu- son, P. D. Norton and Anne A. Carey for presidential electors. This card nowhere states whether these elec- tors are for Roosevelt or Hoover. | When you vote for these electors you | are voting for Hoover clectors. I) here and now charge that the oppo-.| sition ticket headed by Senaicr Ger-| ald P. Nye, who has been on the fence on the presidential issue and who has refused to tell his people! whom he favors for president, has been put in circulation for the specific and definite purpose of de-| ceiving the progressive voters of North Dakota into voting for a can- didate for president for whom they do not desire nor intend to vote.” Lanier termed the circulation of the cards as an “unqualified, un- mitigated misstatement of facts,” be- cause “no real progressive in the state will knowingly vote against Roosevelt in favor of Hoover.” The card, he said, is headed “Of- ficial Progressive Republican Guide Card,” and charge “this card is with- out a doubt conclusive proof that the charge of sell-out is true.” i} i Colgate’s Raiders | Are Leading Nation, New York, Nov. 7.—(#)—Offensively and defensively, the Red Raiders of Colgate were leading the nation’s fast-dwindling group of unbeaten and | untied football teams Monday. | With the defeat last week of Penn- | sylvania, Holy Cross, Dayton, Virginia Poly and North Dakota State and the | tying of Susquehanna of Pennsyi. vania, the unbeaten and untied list | a ishrank to fourteen teams. | Colgate not only led this list in| scoring with 227 points in seven games but also was the only team with an uncrossed gcal line.

YOU WILL BE ASKED TO TAKE THE PART OF A MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATURE ‘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. MEMBERS HEAR BOTH SIDES OF EVERY QUESTION AND MAKE DECISIONS AFTER CARE- FUL 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. _ in 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 vefer- endum as a part of the law making machinery of this state, we have been required to vote upon a 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? 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.
