Moses had one speech scheduled for his home town of Hazen Monday afternoon, with a final appearance at Mandan tonight. John Nygaard, Democratic candidate for congress, also scheduled to speak, did not ap- pear. : Taking issue with Senator Gerald P. Nye and other Welford supporters who have maintained that the Dem- ocratic state ticket has no chance of winning this fall, Moses urged that the voters face th eissues of the day squarely and ignore the “propaganda of a campaign of fear” that he said is being waged against him. He sald an attempt is belng made by the Welford camp to cloud the real issue of the campaign by throwing up to the voter the fact that Langer might be elected and that to prevent this from happening.the voter must. cast his ballot for Welford. Attacking the Welford majority in the primary elections, Moses said that primaries have never meant any- thing in North Dakota and claimed that votes that went to Welford in June, to keep Langer off the fall bal- lot, would return to the Democratic column Tuesday. Z He said that the “House of Welford ie not built on a solid rock of 90,500 Welford votes, but on the shifting sands of 90,500 anti-Lang9er votes.” Moses also insisted that Welford’s stand for Landon against, Roosevelt and his “absolute lack of judgment HE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1936 sors to be persons who would make|ing man or woman is doing full time money off of the increased sales of |for the measly starvation wages they alcoholic bevera; Their argume!

RECALLS PEACE POEM Killdeer, N. D., Oct. 30, 1936. Editor, Tribune: The thought embodied in the words expressed by a New York City’s or- chestra leader is an echo of earlier thoughts and expressions along the same path, Some thirteen years ago the writer read a poem expressing this thought. Regret that I did not note the author when a copy of this poem was made, but whoever he is, the poem is very much worthwhile being repeated. ‘THE ILLUSION OF WAR’ War I abhor, and yet how sweet. ‘The sound alond the marching street Of drum and fife, and I forget Broken old mothers, and the whole Dark butchery without a soul. Without a soul, save this bright drink O, heady music, sweet as hell; And even my peaceloving feet Go* marching with the marching street— For yonder goes the fife, And what care I for human life? The tears fill my astonished eyes, And my full heart is like to break; And yet ‘tis all embannered lies, And dreams those little drummers make. O, it is wicked to clothe Yon hideous grinning thing that stalks, a Hidden in music like a queen That in a garden of glory walks, Till good’ men love the thing they loathe. Art, thou hast many infamies, x But not an infamy like this— Oh, snap the fife, and still the drum, And show the monster as she is! —E, J.

It’s a torment to a person to ride over such roads; it seems nearly bad enough to be one of the seven last plagues. Couldn't these main highways be graveled into real roads? There's a mighty good idea. Why not say, “Let's do it”? Well, the U. S. cost too much and is tod much thought of by our Creator to let it be run by beer and liquor taxes. Of course, we'll get punish- ments to try to bring us to our senses and a realization of higher values.

If everyone would vote “no” every day of the year as long as he or she lives, the liquor business would be under control and we'd be that much better off. Yours, Elizabeth 8. Lind. IN DEFENSE OF DOGS Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 31, 1936. Editor, Tribune: On Memorial Day my dog was kill- ed by a speeding atstomobile. He was a pal. I have a lasting memory of his love, fidelity and companionship. This memory was poignantly revived by one who was an eye witness to an- other dog murder today on Sixth street. My information is that the person driving the car made no effort of any kind to evade the crushing, agonized misery and death of a harmless house- hold pet. Ie seems to me that only an inhuman creature, masquerading as a human being, possessing a warp- ed and savage mind, would not at- tempt to avoid crushing, maiming, wounding or killing a domestic, non- predatory animal. I fully realize that it is carelessness and lack of appreciation of a dog, or misguided affection for a dog's free- dom that permits the pet, or valuable dog to go on or play on the streets of Bismarck unattended or unleashed. However, children of tender years al- so stray on the streets and the per- son who would run down a dog or cat on the streets would just as leave run down a child, except for fear of con- sequences, damages or criminal pro- ceedings. Only a dog? Yes. Did the driver know or could he realize that the dog Respectfully, HUGH REDINGTON. NOT AFRAID OF CHANGE Wilton, N. Dak., Oct. 30, 1936. Editor, Tribune: Here we are. Only a few hours till the great day of election, after which the political earthquake that has rocked our nation for months will somewhat subside and we will view the spoils. Are we prepared to go to the polls Nov 3? “A ballot from an ignorant voter is worse than a bullet from an enemy.” Our country has been plunged head- long into debt. Money has been spent here and there and the pity is that those to whom the government owes @ helping hand are not recognized. What is that relief? It forces the poor man to become a professional beggar or take a pauper’s oath before he can get help. A man or woman who has paid taxes for years, toiled from early morning till the late hours to keep their heads above water, to keep themselves clear of debts, now when they ask for aid do they get it? But on the other hand there are those who have “plastered” everything they own, have borrowed and spent and lived foolishly, perhaps gambled or drunk or indulged in other vices—have not even had enough respect for this country to become citizens—these we find on the government gayroll, get- ting relief, surplus, etc. Also the forces in the relief offices and head- quarters!

Did he realize the dog might be a valuable one? Did he realize the kill- ing would bring sorrow and tragedy into the lives of the people who loved the dog? Leaving aside any sentiment or eulogy of dogs or other pets, and not taking into consideration the love and companionship lost to the child owner, it would only seem fitting and ‘ATTENTION, FARMERS!

HEDER. ABOUT FARM PRICES Editor, Tribune: 5 I am writing this to ask everyone who reads this to stop and think care- fully before he or she casts his vote on Tuesday. A great deal has been said radio about the higher 3 years of raising pract fh why wouldn’t the prices improve as much as they have, regardless of whether a Republican or Democrat was president. In 1934 we had drouth. In 1935 wheat was destroyed by rust and now in 1936, a complete failure of both grain as feed crops and the Demo- crats are giving the impression that. it was lent Roosevelt that brought the prices up. My good- ness, if he intends to- take credit for the raise is he also willing to take the blame for the terrible drouth we farmers of the United’ States have endured? Over the radio we have heard of 10c hogs and $1.25 wheat supposing to have increased the farm- ers buying power and brought “ py Days Are Here Again.” get down to earth and get at the facts. A farmer can’t any more make a living from selling hogs at ‘0c a Ib. when corn is worth 90c a bushel and wheat $1.25 or 50, than he could make a living on 3c a Ib. hogs with corn at 15 or 20c a bushel, as in 1932. Now can he? Hogs don’t get fat‘on political hot air but have to be fed good hard corn and if none was grown it has to be bought at $2.35 per 100 Ibs. which would never bring a farmer a living 4 and as we could get about 30c @ bushel for chicken feed quality wheat there ‘was more money to be made on 7c egcs than a farm woman can make now with eggs at 25c a dozen and wheat worth $1.20—4 goes Eipeapery cause we farmers didn’t grow it costs $1.50 to buy @ bushel of feed higher prices ducts, I Sa ae about facts knowledge of he is apt to be deceiving the ‘on some of the other mat- .!ters that we do not know so much .| about out here in the northwest. So watch your step, folks, and those of you who are determined to vote for Roosevelt don’t fool yourself into doing so because he says he has helped the farmer, because he hasn't. I know T've kept farm accounts for 12 years and know what the cost of production has been on hogs, std products, try, etc., for that time. acd it lying to say that “Happy Are Here Again” for the farmers with wheat at $1.25 or 30 when we have none to sell after 3 years of failure for various reasons than when we had loads to sell at 30c in 1932. At least we farmers could live without WPA by eating our own produce, be- cause we had-the feed for the ani- mals while now we have no feed. As far as financial aid for the farm- ers, we made feed-seed loans under Hoover as well as Roosevelt. A DAIRYMAN’S WIFE.
