The present administration has piled up an intolerable burden of public debt.” Leaving Grand Rapids, Mich., after an overnight visit at the spacious home of Senator Arthur H.

His tac- thes not confusing the voters who will support the Republicarp ticket.” Crum, associate of former Governor Ole H. Olson, said following a meeting held at"Mandan Wednesday and at- tended by 12 delegates, that “senti- ment was to the effect that Moses was the best qualified candidate for governor” and that a “decided swing toward his candidacy the past two weeks was uniform over most of the state.” The question of appointing a com- mittee to wait upon the acting gov- ernor was discussed, Crum declared but it was decided that such a move would be useless at this time because President Asserts New Deal Aligned Against ‘Power of Concentrated Wealth’ Aboard.
