et TR i 1} 1 | 174 Ik | Réports From the Front Show Great Enthusiasm Farmers' Ticket is . for Candidates Indorsed by Nonpartisan League " How goes the battle? League headquarters wanted to know. So did the Leader. So do you. So the precinct delegates of the League in over a thousand townships were asked that question, and their replies are coming “in on every mail. They are reports from the firing line telling how conditions are politically in each township, how the League members are sticking together, what the feeling is among business men and non-members of the League and what the chances are for the League’s candidates at the primaries June 28. The reports show that the attacks of the gang press have made no headway. They show that the enthusiasm and optimism of the League members has continued unabated. This was to be expected, of course, but the reports go further... They state that practically I THINK they will all vote for Frazier.—~JOHN SHEA. WE STICK together like glue.— HENRY CUYPERS. I THINK THAT almost every farm- - er in this precinct will support the League candidates.—H. E. SMITH. I THINK WE will get every voter in this precinct before fall—C. B. HUNT.

I THINK almost every farmer in this precinet will support the League candidates.—H. E. SMITH. : EVERYTHING looks pretty good for the League in this precinct.—H. F. BRAME. FRAZIER LEFT a good impres- sion on those who heard him at Bis- marck, and that impression is spread- ing.—E. A. TRYGG. ALL MEMBERS will be loyal to our ticket. I have not found one who is opposed to any name on our ticket. —B. SOLBERG. WE HAVE NO other candidates in opposition to the League candidates for the legislature in this district.— W. D. CONWAY. WE GOT TWENTY members. I am sure all the votérs will vote for Frazier and the whole ticket.—H. A. " KIRKEHE. THE LEAGUE WILL draw a strong vote from this township and I will do all I can to make it as strong as possible—M. L. SHOCKMAN: I HAVE FOUND ouly one against Frazier. He is a strong Burdick man. The League candidates will carry the field almost to a man.—FAY HILL. I THINK ALL League members will vote for Frazier, and I think most of the non-members will also vote for him.—H. W. PAUL. . -ALL- NON-MEMBERS seem to be willing to support all candidates the League has indorsed —OTTO A. GAJEWSKL I BELIEVE THAT Frazier will get ‘as many. votes as we have members, and perhaps more. I am sure of two non-members who will vote for him.—GEORGE N. COE. THEY SEEM to speak well .of Fra- zier'around here.—~ARTHUR AHLEN. THIS TOWNSHIP is pretty solid for the League candidates.—T. E. M’MILLAN. : I DON'T THINK there is one in “this township who will not vote ‘for Frazier, I know this township to be all’ right. ‘There are about 70 vo ~here—~MARTIN LARSON. c PAGE SIX =~/ The Frazier farm seven years on pony. at right of picture 1 BELIEVE- THAT Mr. Frazier will gét all the farmers’ votes in this precinct.. The prospects of success in this precinct must be called excellent. —CHRISTEN SAXLUND. THE FARMERS in . this vicinity stand firm for the Nonpartisan Lea- gue, and support the League candi- dates for both state and legislature. —CHAS. E. DROWN. THE ONLY THING accomplished by the Grand Forks Daily Herald in this precinct is the losing of their sub- scribers and nothing else.—JOSEPH RENAULD. % I THINK THE farmers in this pre- cinct “will vote for all the League candidates. The - farmers here get. mad when they read or talk about the gang papers. I know many that have stopped the paper—JOHN MALMEN. "THE FARMERS. IN this precinct, I' believe, will stick to the League - candidates. They express themselves in this way, that we have to put the old gang out now or never.—J. A. PAULSON. % THE LEAGUE members are very enthusiastic to see the League candi- dates elected. I don’t think there are - over ten farmers in this precinct at the outside that are not Leagie mem- bers.—FRANK E. THOMPSON. THERE IS NO question in my mind but that Frazier, in my. precinct, i stronger than Burdick five to one. T am not sure but that every Republican voter can be won for Frazier. ' Fraine not mentioned much. He won’t haye one vote, - I don’t think—T. : O FJALSTAD. = i sure-does: one good. is- ¢ Lokl ‘I HAVE BEEN ‘a firm believer and had great hopes of this' movement all . : along, but to get out among the people 0 L It ‘isn’t merely the results to be gained, but the true i -all ‘farmers, whether- members of the League or not, are for the League to a‘man and will support the League’s entire ticket at the .polls; They show that the League is winning a big following ~among the business men and townspeople. -In brief, not a precinct -was heard from which did not report that the farmers’ ticket from -Frazier down was leading the field, in a majority of precincts with~ - almost a certainty of success and in the balance with the best of chances in its favor. But why try to tell what these encouraging reports tell? Let them speak for themselves. The Leader; naturally, can not print them all, but only a small part. So here are a few taken at random, signed by the men who made them, the men on the actual firing line of this greatest of all North Dakota political campaigns: g Boyhood Home of YoUr Candidate for Governor after the family ar rived in North Dakota.
