Sree eM A me "A SRE Weekes — ORMER GOVERNOR “DISCLOSES PLANS FOR GRAND JURIES Langer Would Have Action in Three Counties to Probe Political Affairs Revelation that he is behind move- ments to call grand juries into ses- sion in three different counties in North Dakota was made Wednesday by William Langer in a political ad- dress over KFYR. The counties in which he seeks grand jury explora- tion were not named, other than Burleigh. His aim, he said, is to have the grand juries investigate charges which have been made against him and to; take up any other matters which may come before them. He said “some of us Leaguers, sick and tired of being charged with one crime after another, have determined to call this grand jury and to place any lying individuals under oath be- fore them.” Calling on his followers to attend precinct meetings of the Nonpartisan League, set for Saturday, the former governor asserted that failure to do so might result in the organization being captured by “enemies of the people.” The speaker avoided refer- ence to his enemies within the League by name, most of whom were allied with him in the last state campaign, and his nearest approach to comment on the gubernatorial candidacy of Governor Walter Welford was to warn against acceptance of the leadership of any man “temporarily” in charge of the organization. Says Committee Controls Denying that any man controls the League, he said the real control lies with the executive committee, com- posed of Harry Peterson, Elwood Eck and W. E. Hoopes and that they, in turn, are subject to control by the advisory committee of county chair- men. Asserting that the Nonpartisan League is “at the cross roads,” Lan- ger asked: “Shall it compromise with its enemies, shali it fade away like the Farmers Alliance, or shall the Nonpartisan League fight as of old, and announce to the world that the Nonpartisan League stands for justice @nd a square deal and for the right?” Answering those who have con- demned him as a disturbing influ- ence, Langer said: “There are those who claim the state affairs of North Dakota now are quiet and peaceful Weather Report | WEATHER FORECAST r and vicinity: Snow} tonight and possibly Friday morning; continued cold.

Recalls Four Years Ago “Why four years ago things were nice and quiet and polite and har- monius but within a few months prominent men in North Dakota were headed for the penitentiary, the pay- roll of the state was decreased $100,000 @ month and the oppressors made to realize a real fight was on.” Indirectly striking at the actions of the last legislature, Langer by infer- ence assailed present incumbents of state offices as tax spenders and as-; serted that the sales tax should have} been a replacement tax.

That is the ideal of Amer- icans since it was first mentioned in the Declaration of Independence. That is not the issue. “The issue is the New Deal meth- ods and objectives which are destroy- ing this very thing.” Again referring to the message to congress, Hoover quoted President Roosevelt as saying, “The only thing we have to fear is fear.’ “The New Deal has been a veritable fountain of fear,” he declared.
