NEW.PAPER WITH LEAGUE The first issue of the Daily Capital, the new daily newspaper started by the publishers of the Transcript at New Rockford has the following declaration of support for the Nonpartisan League: “Factionally,we are with the Nonparti- san League. We firmly believe that in a *great state where the wealth and the prosperity of its people depend entirely upon the agncultnrahsts that the class much greater in interests, should, to a large extent, have the most to say who should rule:them, and make and execute the laws in favor. of .the farmers who constitute three-fourths of our citizen- ship. A candidate who appears to us to be incompetent will not receive the support of The Daily Capital, no matter what party.or faction he may - affiliate with.” + HE'S RIGHT MAN The political announcement of Frank Prater of Lien township, for member of the house of teprecentatlves, appears in this issue. Mr. Prater’s candxda.cy is indorsed by the Nonpartisan League—in fact, he is brought out as a candidate by that organization and should. have the united support of its members, and will have the solid support of all the voters of the east end of the county. He is & farmer and rancher, has' made: good as such, and no_one knows the needs of the fa.rmers of the state better than- he. The Prater famlly is one of the -best known families in the county. They‘ were: among the first settlers in -Lien township and W. J., an clder brother, has been treasurer of this county for the. past four _years. Frank is a fine young man—too good @ man to run to politics, but the present occasion is _exceptional, he being the unaniméus choice of the League:’ . His name will appear on .the Repub- lican ballot.—WING STATESMAN. - AT THE OLD GAME From. legislature to executive offices the gangsters have sought to break the farmer vote by bringing out farmer can- didates to oppose the regular Nonpar- “tisan nominees and split the rural vote. This has been - tried in: Foster county where a strong Nonpartisan farmer was urged to_enter the race for representa- tive of the 82d legislative district.

But Mr. Burdick came to realize that by staying in the race he was defeating the farmers—giving the stalwarts the best of a 3-cornered fight—canceling the very reform movements he has worked for during the past years. Awakening to these facts and true to his principles, is good man has returned to Williston resolved not to interfere with the candi- dacy of his contemporary Lynn J. Fra- zier or to hamper the perfection of the granger organization. You see, some of these things could have been slipped over ten years ago; but ten years has wrought a wonderful change in the average farmer—he is a studious cosmopolitan reader and does his own thinking.

He is J. E. Robinson of Fargo, one of the best posted and cleanest attorneys in the state. A man of ideals and ideas and a radical progressive. Mr. Robinson is no stranger to the people of North Dakota. Four - years ago he came mighty close to landing on the supreme bench. A combination of corporations, politicians, lawyers and reactionaries prevented the people put- ting Robinson on the bench that time. It looks as though he will land in the pres- ent instance. The nomination papers sent out by ; the Nonpartisan League are nearly all - in; - It is gaid.that they bear .the signa- tures of over 20,000 voters. All the League candidates are being enthusias- tically supported by the members but it is significant that Mr. Robinson, the man who has been .the mark for the most bitter and vicious attacks of the enemy _in the form of gang papers LEADS the ENTIRE TICKET in number of signers.
