= oL : (a.nd in primary election at least clearly demon- ‘strate one thing. And that is that the . among - various BACKS NOMINEES OF PARTY Tlus week, the Echo places the Republican nominees for state and county offices at the head of its editorial column. - “The Man Behind” has always exercised his choice of party nominees, but _also always accepts the will of the ma]onty when the procedure of nomination is in ‘accord with law, and the nominee is capable and respectable. For goyernor, two and four years ago, L. B. Hanna was not our choice for the party nominee, but the Echo accepted the choice of the maJonty. This year, the Echo man favored Burdick as the party nominee, but a large majority favored Frazier. Therefore, the: Echo will be for Frazier, and he has the support of the Echo—loyal support too. He was the choice of the ma;onty, and “The Man Behind” ‘can support him with a hope and behef that he is big enough to make good as the governor of this great state. Really, the writer can see no good reason why there should be any fear _that he will not make good. The prosperity of a big majority of the wealth" " of the state—the farm lands—is back of him, and certainly, he or his advisors will do naught to retard the advancement of the agricultural interests. As the interests of the agricultural and laboring classes advance, the business interests will keep harmonious step with them. Yes, “The Man Behind” falls in line with the “will of the ma)orlty,” without regret, without-a blush—in so far as the Repubhcan party nominees are concerned.—LA MOURE ECHO. : BOWS TO PEOPLE The Nonpartisan League candidates have been successful in the primaries: ‘with - scarcely an exception, by large majorities. These ~ large majorities could not have been rolled up had there not been .a general feeling of unrest among the people. This being . a government in which .- the majority rules, there is no "question about who should wield the power in 1917 and 1918. The Call will support the Republican part of the ticket as nominated and do everything within reason to secure the election of every candidate nominated. ‘Where the verdict ‘is so- unanimous, there is no other consistent course to pursue.—CRYSTAL CALL. . ooooooeoooeoooooooo_eoooeeooo MACHINE IN GUTTER The ‘old 'political machine was swept into the gutter:last Wednes- day. The politicians and big busi- ness - interests. have -no - one to blame but themselves for the con- ditions that = exist - today. Their - actions for the past several years have been but:an inviiation for the farmers to do the very thing that they have done. Every worm will turn and the farmers have borne their -burden of oppression as long as could' be expected. There will be a new deal all the way round ¢ after next November.—STARK- s WEATHER TIMES. ....O0.0.0......0.......... WAS VOICE OF PEOPLE Leaving aside any tiresome discussion - 90000000000000000800000000000 ~ of the merits .or demerits of the Non- partisan League, which has already been discussed up one side and cussed down the other—the results ‘of the late some - quarters, - lamented) farmers - of North Dakota ‘“‘can stick together” when definitely organized and with a definite purpose in view. It _shows, also, that the farmer vote is a controlling factor in North Dakota elections. But heretofore that vote has been scattered and divided and split ‘candidates. But one conclusion is inevitable—and that is that the recent returns comprise a most emphatic expression of the voice of the great agricultural and laboring classes of North Dakota.—LA MOURE COUNTY CHRONICLE. - ABOUT- THE UPHEAVAL The big upheaval came at last and the result of the June primaries showed that ° the farmers of North Dakota scored one cf the largest political victories in the history of the state. The farmers sure stuck together this time, and no longer can the unpleasant proposition be cast into the face of the farmers that they never can stick.together on anything. There are few nicer men in North Dakota than Lynn J. Frazier, the farm- ers’ successful candidate for governor, and there is no question that he will be the next governor. His character is unassailable and we believe he stands the same test in honesty and integrity in the executive chair that he has done on the farm and in the other works of his lifee—CAVALIER CHRONICLE. WILL SUPPORT TICKET _We bow to the will of the majority of the Republicans of North Dakota, and “will state that we will support the whole ticket from' top to bottom as nominated. During the whole campaign we have not said one_ word agamst Mr. Frazier which would put us in an embarrassing position to give him our’ hearty support, now that he .is nominated. : .- Mr. Frazier has always been known as a good Republican, and practically every man nominated on the Repub- lican-ticket is a man of high reputation and ' character, and there is no -good reason why -~ every Repubiican in the state cannot support the whole ticket. There is no good reason at this time why all Republicans, both members and non-members of the League, should not put their shoulder to the wheel and see that a rousing majority is given the whole . ticket from governor to justice of the peace. We believe that this is the general feeling of all good -Repub- lincans who opposed. the nomination of Mr. Frazier, a.nd we trust that the ......0..0.....Q.....‘....................................

MESSAGE FOR BUSINESS MEN The business. men of New Rockford are to be commended on the sensible ‘view they took of the farmers’ move- ment at the recent primary. Just before election a meeting .of the resi- dents of the town was held, and the League movement was mdorsed by many of the business men, and there was no antagonism manifested. " Grant that the reasons for this were perhaps mercenary, it was a good policy, and it is. the only position for the business men of any town, who are looking to their own future welfare, to take. No turn in North Dakota is big enough to fight the farmers and get away with it. We should all work together. The farmers comprise 75 per cent of the population, and the 75 per cent, organized and awake, will control, and not necessarily to the harm of the other 25 per cent, but all working together for the advancement of the 75 per cent, the 25 per cent cannot help but prosper also. He who is so blind as not to see this would not see a brick wall until he smashes into it. — CARRINGTON RECORD. | Is Master of All Farm Jobs l --A practical tractor for plowing, dlscmg. etc., and fer: practically ““every: belt ‘driven machine on the - farm. > .= Simple and 7 durable. ’ Easy to operate. ‘Berg & Harris Will Exhibit at Grand Forks Fair.
