s, % % LANGER ASSERTS HE . HAS KEPT PROMISES Opens Campaign With Declara- tion He Has Lived Up to Former Pledg New Rockford, N. D., May 17—(}— Gov. William Langer here night officially opened his campaign for re-election, speaking from a plat- form also occupied by many of the candidates on his slate. He devoted much of his time to a review of his administration, com- Pleting with the statement that, if returned to office, he will mortgage moratorium in effect until good crops are harvested. All the candidates on the state ticket, with the exception of Berta Baker, were present. Among those who gave talks were Ben Larkin, an Eddy county man; P. O. Sathre, Har- old Hopton, John A. Gray, Walter Welford and James Gronna. Langer pointed out he made his first promise for the office of gover- nor from a New Rockford platform, “and all of those promises have been more than fulfilled,” he declared. “State appropriations,” he said, “were not cut one million dollars, as I promised; they were cut five millions. Monthly expenses of the state gov- ernment have been reduced $73,000.” Taking up the cudgel against crit- ics of his administration, he lashed out particularly against Ole Olson, lieut- enant governor, and now a candidate for lieutenant governor on the anti- Langer ticket. Olson resides near New Rockford. “Don’t re-elect Ole Olson,” Langer said. “He didn’t co-operate from the day he went into office.” He also at- tacked other state officials on the anti-Langer ticket. He ended his address by declaring his administration had sought no eid from outside the state. Set New Mark for Pardon Applications Of a population of 313 inmates at the state penitentiary, 265 are seek- ing clemency from the state pardon board. The largest number ever placed before a pardon board in North Dakota. Beginning its meetings Monday, the board had considered about 80 cases up to Wednesday, with clemency granted about 20 prisoners. Most of the applications considered were those of short-term inmates. A plea for the release of A. H. Kurth, former Minot city commission- er, serving a term for embezzlement, has been heard by the board and tak- en_under consideration, John A. Timmerman, former city treasurer of Mandan serving a term for embezzlement, also has made an application for clemency. His case is expected to be heard this week. The board recessed late Wednesday and will reconvene Friday. Poll Shows Edge for Roosevelt.

Draper, editor of the pub- lication, said the Digest “by polling 15,000,000 voters throughout the . country, is endeavoring to get a na- tion-wide expression of opinion: on what the people think of the acts and policies of the Roosevelt admin- istration.” McNamee sald there were 40,219 votes from four cities in New York state and four in New Jersey. Of these 27,162 were approving votes and 13,057 disapproving. June Bugs Appear in Large Numbers Here June bugs put in their annual spring appearance in large numbers here Thursday, causing some alarm among residents who have an aversion for the huge insects, The size of the end of a man’s thumb, the bug has a light tan body and a head of various shades of yel- low and green. It has six long legs, two-pronged and hooked at the ends. According to Russell Reid, superin- tendent of the State Historical society and a student of natural history, June bugs in themselves are harm- less, He said the larvae ,they produce, however, is often responsible for con- siderable damage to garden crops. 400 Farms Get Trees For Shelterbelt Use Four hundred new shelterbelts and additions to 150 plantings set out pre- viously are included in the 1934 shel- terbelt demonstration project of the State Schcol of Foresiry and the North Dakota Agricultural College extension service. Approximately 400,000 trees were shipped out for tanting this spring, the extension service forester has announced The purpose of the project is to cemonstrate in each community the methods for successful establishment of shelterbelts for farmstead pro- tection.

AGAINST CAPITALISM Bismarck, N. D. May 15, 1934. Editor Tribune: Last evening we were invited to attend a meeting at the Court House called for the purpose of perfecting organized opposition to the passage of the proposed hard liquor laws. The Giscussion, while interesting, seemed beside the point to the writer hereof as it was directed merely toward the suppression of only one of a myriad of evils that are the outerowth of and ere fostered by the present economic system under which gain or profit is the alluring incentive. Ever since statehocd was granted us, we North Dakotans have had Suppression of the liquor business in varying degree.

At the same time, Argentina is ex- pected to announce it will entirely or virtually cease its heavy outlay of seed loans to wheat farmers and take measures to encourage the produce tion of linseed and corn instead. The announcement of this new “wheat treaty” was hoped for either from Buenos Aires or by Thomas A. Le Breton, of Argentina, in Paris. It was said that the final approval of this agreement now rests with the government at Buenos Aires and that there are strong indications it will be accepted.
