Cc. G. DERBY, County Auditor in and for Burleigh County. WILLIAM FRICKE, Chairman of the Board of County Commissioner: DEBT ADJUSTERS 70 SEE FEDERAL FILM ‘The Plow That Broke the Plains’ to Be Shown Dur- ing Conference Here Members of debt adjustment boards attending the state-wide conference called by rural resettlement admin- istration officials for Bismarck June 10 and 11 will have the opportunity of seeing a pre-view of the three- reel film, “The Plow That Broke the Plains,” @ sound movie that is win- ning the praise of critics wherever it is shown. Because Hollywood film magnates turned down the federal govern- ment’s request to make a movie de- picting the tragedies of the “dust bowls,” the government went ahead and made its own pictorial record. The result is a picture proclaimed by critics far superior to any genre film ever produced in Hollywood. Under orders of the resettlement administration, Howard R. Wood, state director, said Saturday, the film is not being released into commer- cial fields until all resettlement offi- cials in the 48 states have seen it. The film will be shown in the Paramount theater at 11 a. m. next Thursday. Invited to attend will be all persons at the debt adjustment conference, members of the various federal agency offices in Bismarck and a limited number of prominent state, county and city officials. Superb photography in the film pictures the great rolling plains of the midwest, the coming of the cat- tle followed by the pioneers who plowed the hot, rain-scarce region, the planting of wheat, the outbreak of the World war and the “Wheat Will Win the War” slogan that put hundreds of thousands of acres un- der cultivation. Then is told the story of declining markets and market prices, the pov- erty and famine that invaded the plains, and the high winds that brought death and destruction with their swirling clouds of dust. The moral of the film is left for the end, the rehabilitation efforts now being undertaken to make the “dust bowls” once again fit habita- tions for man and beast.

PERTINAX With charity for all toward Time for Sharp Pencils This is the season at which man- agers of state candidates sharpen their pencils and begin the anticipa- tion of election returns from the vari- ous districts of North Dakota. Their charts are based on informa- tion as to indications of the probable trend in voting and candidates are routed on the basis of this informa- tion. Where things “look bad” addi- tional effort is applied in the hope of evangelizing the voters to espouse the views of the party of faction in ques- tion. This is one of the fundamentals of political management, but complicat- ing it is the job of maintaining the convictions of voters in those dis- tricts which are favorable to the party, since it is in these areas that: the enemy usually concentrate their fire. All groups use the same system which has been tried and tested through the years and found to be the only one workable. Candidates may advance bright or unusual ideas to intrigue the elec- torate but the campaign managers never do. They stick to time-tested formulas. Reports Are ‘Too Good’ Just now the sampling of opinion among the electorate by the means at hand produces a curious result, particularly in the camp of Governor Walter Welford, who is seeking re- election. The fact is that the reports re- ceived are so optimistic that the Wel- ford managers are concerr@! as to their accuracy. They do not want to be too hopeful lest they grow over- confident and let down in their ef- forts. They are encouraged, however, by reports from independent and non- political observers who verify the statements of their men in the field. The Swing in the West Most interesting of the reports re- ceived here are those from the Mis- souri Slope country in which Wel- ford managers were, in the begin- ning, prepared to concede their op- ponents an edge. They are not doing so now and indications are that Wel- ford may more than break even west of the Missouri river. Thus a businessman who has been touring eight southwest counties, do- ing lots of listening but no talking, gives Stark and Golden Valley coun- ties to Welford by heavy majorities with possibilities that Billings, Slope and Hettinger will go for him by smaller margins. In the judgment of this observer the margin will be close jeither way in the latter three coun-| ties. Welford is due to lose Adams by a “shade” and Bowman and Dunn by larger margins. If this observation is correct it in- dicates a definite change from what most observers thought the condition would be in the west. It would show that Welford might come out of the Slope country no worse than even | and may even have a majority. If | this forecast is even approximately true the Republican nomination is “in the bag” for Welford. That is what concerns the governor's man- agers. They don’t want to count their chickens before they are hatched and hence are redoubling their ef- forts. Toward and Away From The reasons for the change are} many but some, apparently, are more important than others. First of all, the fact that Welford is a farmer—and looks it and acts it—has created a swing toward him. The fact that he was able to keep the schools open and to get all fac- tions to work with him on emergency measures during the last legislature is regarded as a feather in his cap. The second fact is that the disabili- ties of his lawyer opponent are be- coming more generally known. There is, for example, a gradual dissipation of the belief that William Langer is the poor man’s friend. The new at- titude is based on the income tax paid by him and the fact that the government, last winter, gave him a rebate of approximately $600 on his tax payments. In other words, he overpaid the government more than most farmers received in income dur- ing the year 1934. They match this fact with the sub- sequent pleas for donations to various funds started in his behalf and the result, according to the reports, is to stimulate active doubt that the can- didate is, after all, the poor man’s friend. Ghosts of the Political Past In Golden Valley county, according to another independent observer, the returns will be cheering to the Wel- ford camp, second in this respect only to his home county of Pembina which is expected to give him a big ma- jority. The reason, according to this re- port, is that there was some phenag- ling with the Golden Valley county delegates to the Nonpartisan conven- tion in 1932, A man who was never named as a delegate from that area voted as such in the convention and his vote provided the margin of vic- Stories galore have been circu- the result has been bad for Welford’ opponents but good for him. the| the tory. lated about this political event and! ‘Nominated by I Nominated = FDR | | Mrs. Mary T.
