New Candidates in Ramsey EMBERS of the Nqnparhsan League in the Twenty-first legis- lative district, comprising Ram- sey county, met. in conventxon at_Devils Lake August 26 and indorsed ‘Myron King for state senator and Fred Zessin for the lower house, to fill out the League’s legislative ticket in this dis- trict. Mr.- King lives at Starkweather and Mr. Zessin at Devils Lake. The former will run for election independ- ently, opposing the Republican and Democratic candidates nominated for the senate at the June 28 primary. Mr. _Zessin was nominated for the legislature by the primaries. % This district is entitled to elect a gsenator and three representatives next November. The League before the primaries’ indorsed men for these -jobs, and George D. Laird and Martin Hog- haug, League candidates were nominated by big pluralities for the lower house by the Republican party. But T. O. Fjalstad, the third League candidate for the house, also running on the Repub- lican ticket, was defeated by 26 votes by P. H. Kelly, leaving ‘one place on the League ticket for the house vacant. The August 26 convention indorsed the Dem- ocratic candidate, so that the League will support two Republicans and one Demo- crat for the house at the November election. The League’s candidate for semator ran in the Republican primaries June 28. He was W. P. Faulk and was defeated by Frank Hyland for the nomination. The August 26 convention could not indorse Mr. Hyland because -of his past record in the legislature, nor were they satisfied with the Democratic nominee for the senate, Walter A. Fulkerson. So the League members decided to indorse Mr. King and have him run for election independently ‘against the Republican and Democratic candidates this fall. The situation in this district is now as follows: The Republicans have Democrats at the June 28 _ three nominees for - the house, Laird, Hoghaug and Kelly, two of whom, Laird and Hoghaug, have .the League indorsement. The Democrats have only two nominees for the three positions in the lower house. They are Fred Zessin and M. W. Revis. Mr. Zessin has the League indorsement. For the senate the Republicans are running Hyland, the Democrats Fulkerson and the League is backing King, an independent. Senator Hyland is the one King, the League candidate, will have. to beat, as -the Democrat is not believed to be in the running. But Hyland, because of his standpat and reactionary record and votes against farmers’ legislation, is expected to make a comparatively poor showing against the farmers’ man. His record would have beaten him in the primaries if the voters could have been more thoroughly made acquainted with ite W\ — N \\\\\ Senator Hyland was a member of the judiciary committee in the semate and ° Jomed the minority of that committee in a report unfavorable to state hail insurance. This minority pretended to believe that the state could mot even amend its own constitution to provide - for~hail insurance and was not in favor of allowing the people of the state to vote on whether or not they wanted hail insurance. Besides trying to block this farmers’ measure in committee Senator Hyland voted against it when the bill was up for passage. Senator Hyland even opposed the bill introduced to make it possible for farm- ers’ cooperative societies to incorporate under a more liberal plan than hitherto allowed. He was one of a minority of nine in the senate that fought this bill and voted against it. He did not want farmers to organize and incorporate cooperative societies under an enabling act of the state that would aid them to make good. How good a friend Senator. Hyland was of the farmers’ terminal elevator proposition is shown by his votes on the mill tax for terminal elevators. A bill was introduced to repeal the tax ordered lewed by the 1913 legislature for build- - ing terminal elevdtors. This bill, how- ever, purported to further the termmal elevator proposition by providing for an “investigation” of the possibilities of a state-o e\:?ed elevator in the state, and it provid originally -that the board of control, known to be hostile to any plan of state-owned . elevators, was to investi- gate and report on the matter. The board had investigated and reported on a terminal elevator outside the state and had recommended against it. Friends of the terminal elevator prop- osition saw this bill was going to pass, repealing the elevator tax, but they offered an amendment that the railroad commission, instead of the board of control, should investigate the matter of an elevator in North Dakota. The rail- road commission had shown itself neutral in the matter, whereas the board of con- trol was known to be pm)udlced against it. Senator Hyland voted agamst putting the . elevator mveshgatlon in neutral hands and for putting in the hands of the prejudiced board of control. The senate, however; accepted the amendment of the elevator’s friends and made the railroad commission the investigating body. But the senate went ahead and passed the bill, for it was determined to wipe out the tax that would enable the building of the elevator. Authorizing an investigation was the . means the senate took to save its face and was not the real purpose of the bill. Senator Hyland joined the majority and voted for the repeal of the elevator tax.

ATTACKING: COURT CANDIDATES False stories are being spread about the candidates for the supreme court in his neighborhood, writes M. M. Cook of ‘Longview farm, a loyal member of the League, but these attacks are having little effect because of the earnest efforts of League boosters. “The League can- didates will get every vote but one in this precinct,” writes Mr. Cook. v 7 / Help IpOur /) /// Students tq get a larger vision of life and . prepare for- the best business " positions.
