Erazier, the farmers’ candidate for governor of North Dakota on the Republican ticket, completed a. week’s tour of cities and towns in the east central art of the state. The tour was made y..auto ‘and its purpose-was to meet personally and talk with businessmen, and the reception Mr. Frazier received forever sets at rest the charges made almost daily, that the businessmen of the state fear that Mr. Frazier, when elected, will lead an administration that will be destructiye and disas- trous to the business interests of the state. . : . i Evidences are abundant that the businessmen of the state are not so easily frightened at the political bug- @boos, placed by the roadside by the tools of professional ; politicians. Throughout the entire tour business- men from all “ranks expressed. and manifested entire satisfaction and gratification in meeting ‘the next : governor of North: Dakota and re- peatedly stated their belief that the affairs of the state would be abso- lutely safe from dangerous legislation, in the hands of Lynn J. Frazier. BUSINESS MEN MEET CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR : The climax of the four came at Jamestown, where Mr, Frazier, in the hands-of old friends, personally met and conversed with at least a hun businessmen, Ssum- ing,. modest, yet firm and ‘convincing way he made a very favorable impres- - sion upon all.

Editor Nonpartisan Leader: 'Here I have an article taken from the Mandan Daily Pioneer, of ‘April 15th. - - “There is scarcely any question but that the next legislature no mat- ter what' party or faction is in control, will next year make an appro- priation for a terminal elevator within the state and it will probably go farther and take steps looking for flour mills and state packing plant. Of course the wisdom of this step will not be conceded by the ultra con- servatives, but the sentiment of the state has been expressed at the polls on the matter of the terminal elevator and the other industries will like- ly have quite as.generous support.” ] : Now: this: looks very good as far as it goes but now let us see what this same editor had to-say in his paper of April 17th: : . “A pew propaganda has arisen in North Dakota in‘ the last few months, the propaganda of the socalled Nonpartisan League. . Plausible speakers-and writers, playing with the ever present element in human life —discontent, have worked upon the seeming. prejudices and wrongs.of a certain class of the citizenship until they have augmented that discontent into a frenzy that brooks no argument, that will countenance no reason. The seales- will drop from the eyes of the socalled Nonpartisans in North :Dakota when they realize the insincerity of the manipulators, when they understand that they have been betrayed for thirty pieces of silver.” Now then, don’t this look very nice? It is the Nonpartisan League ‘that is back of this'terminal elevator but now the old gang says, “stay with us and we wil give you all you ask”—until- after election next fall. Why did ‘they not give us the terminal elevator before the people had spoken for one—that should have been enough. N : . No, old gang, the farmers.will not be fooled any more by you. . He Inows now who' you are; nothing ‘but a lot of Haye: «odon i s Now on April 26, I had a personal talk with the editor of the Man- dan Daily Pioneer, in regard to this article on terminal elevators, in - which he claimed that 70 per cent out of the 83 per cent that voted for the elevator did not know what thels{l}vere voting on or else it would never ‘have carried. Now according to his belief, there would be 87 per cent against the terminal elevator but still the gang will give it to us farmers if we will only be good and vote their ticket next November. St - Now, brother farmers, you will see the dope the rotten gang pres offers you for your vote but-I'ask you one and all to look back what you - have received from all promises made to you before.

Some 85 or 40 business men and others attended this meeting and entire satisfaction ~and approval was expressed on every: side over the the talks made , and the position declared by the candidate, Mr. Frazier had some pleasant per- sonal visits at Valley City, includi g an agreeable hour with the Rev. C.

At Dazey_a pleasant three hours were spent which was a continuous recep- tion with both businessmen and farm- ers. It was the universal verdict that Dazey and vicinity will go solid for the- farmers’ candidate at the June primaries, A MANY TOWN MERCHANTS ARE WILLING TO HELP At Courtenay and Kensal businesss men and newspapermen welcomed the farmers’ candidate very warmly. At & Wimbledon a meeting was held in the H evening which. was attended by sev- ; i eral businessmen and quite a number ?( of farmers who happened -to be in ¢ town. .

If the reception given the farmers’ candidate on thisitrip is any indicas tion of how. the election will go at the June gnmane‘s then there is no ques- tion but that Mr. Frazier wifl be nominated by the largest vote ever polled by a ‘candidate for governor in this state, iy E 5 3 Tt was. clearly demonstrated that the multiplicity of charges made, by the gang newspapers of the state are _being received by the majority of the people with a very large grain of salt, The people seem to know these papers ‘and judge them by the company they . have kept and are keeping.
