FRAZIER has issued a proclamation designating May 1 for observance as “American Day,” espe- cially by installing the principles of true democracy “that state-wide, mneighborly -co-operation Governor Frazier in his proclamation, points out that “Throughout the nation today there is widespread unrest. Profiteering has flourished as never before, mob vio- lence has in too many cases been per- mitted to go unchallenged and little effort has been made to change the unfavorable conditions that have con- trolled the marketing of products and surrounded labor. The seriousness of the situation is apparent to all. To cope with it successfully requires cool heads and a program of constructive- ness rather than destructiveness. Where there are grievances an effort should be made to right them. Repres- sive measures only add fuel to the flames. A sane, frank policy alone will restore public confidence and equilibrium.” It is now reported that Attorney General Langer, an announced anti- League candidate for governor, will not abide by the selection of the “elimination” convention to be held at Minot. His principal newspaper organ now charges that the Young-McKenzie faction is “hand-picking” delegates to this convention so as to defeat Langer and nominate Miss Minnie Neilsen for governor. Sveinbjorn Johnson, chairman of the Democratic state central commit- tee, has announced that he will not ac- cept the plan to affiliate with the Mec- Kenzie-Young old-gang Republicans in an effort to beat the League and has stated that the Democrats will file a full ticket for the coming primaries. The state Home Building associa- tion, through its Bismarck league, has purchased two homes for members, for - which they will pay at the rate of $28.65 per month for 20 years, at the end of which time they will own their homes. The same houses were being rented at the rate of $45 per month. Governor Frazier made a 115-mile airplane journey last week to fulfill a speaking engagement at Wabek, to help the consolidated school district to raise its indebtedness. The trip was made without accident in 1 hour and 15 minutes. Instead of selling city bonds to out- side bond houses, the usual plan, the city of Fargo is finding a good market for its bonds at home, applications coming in in amounts ranging from $500 to $70,000. ; MINNESOTA Récords of the Fourth infantry, Minnesota National Guard, were un- earthed this week to show that Dan E. Richter, billed throughout North ' Dakota and Minnesota during the last two years as “the fighting lieutenant,” was never in federal service and in fact had been discharged from the regiment “for the good of the service.” Welcome E. Barber, who, with Richter, are directing the affairs of the Loyal Voters’ association, patterned after North Dakota’s now defunct “1. V. A.,” resigned under fire from the same regiment. Both men were in charge of the canteen of the Fourth regiment during the war, in Minneapolis, when a shortage of $844 was discovered in their accounts. According to a letter written by the American committee of Minneapolis, the latter organization, which is a new one in this state, has got next to a staggering sum of money to spend in fightmg the League this year. The letter is a secret one, but the Mijpne- sota Leader came into possession of i and printed a photographic reproduc- tion of it this week. -According to the letter the association plans to conduct a school for anti-League orators and train them to tell consistent stories. Evidently the organization has learn- ed from experience that the stories against the League have been too in- consistent to be believed. - Workers of city and country are watching the preliminaries of the Re- publican “elimination” convention, to be held in St. Paul May 4, with more show of amusement than of any fear of the results. Already several of the many candidates for governor, avow- ed League enemies, are accusing State Auditor J. A. O. Preus of being a “dark horse” who has “framed” the convention to get himself indorsed, while other candidates intimate that they won’t abide by the “elimination” unless they are indorsed. H. A. Fuller, Equity orgamzer of Mankato, has been indorsed by the League conferenee in the second dis- trict, held at St. James, as the farm- ers’ candidate for congress from the district. ~His platform, besides em- bracing the League program, includes a demand for restoration of free speech, free assemblage and the Plumb plan, amended to mclude shippers on the directorate. Doctor Henrik Shipstead and Cap- tain George H. Mallon, farmer-labor candidates for governor and lieutenant governor, received enthusiastic recep- tion before Minneapolis labor unions. ‘With Tom Sullivan of St. Paul, League and labor candidate for attorney gen- eral, they soon will tour the northern part of the state, The Citizens’ alliance, an organiza- tion of employers and business inter- ests formed in Minneapolis and Du- luth to establish “open shop” condi- tions and destroy the Nonpartisan league, has sent out a letter for funds to prevent the establishment of Min- nesota’s new farmer-labor daily, the Star. Labor-won another victory in Min- nesota this week by the election of ‘W. W. Matson to the mayor’s chair of gt. Cloud. He was the unions’ candi- ate. NEBRASKA The massmeeting of progressive forces, announced for May 4, to select candidates who can be supported by the organized farmers, organized labor and other progressive forces, will be held at- Grand Island instead of at Lincoln, as first announced. Governor Lynn J. Frazier of North Dakota will be the principal speaker. A meeting of the executive committee of the Nebraska State Federation of Labor will be held- at Grand Island at the same time. Supreme Judge A. J. Cornish drop- ped dead in the Lincoln Commercial club rooms April 18. He was the most progressive jurist on the supreme bench and during the recent constitu- {22 tional convention endeavored to secure the adoption of progressive taxation amendments. For his activity in that regard he was denounced as an “essen- tial Socialist” by the New Nebraskan, the organ of big business. Robert M. Joyce, state chairman of the late but not lamented state coun- cil of defense, sent out eleventh-hour letters to members of the county coun- cils of defense urging and practicaily PAGE TWELVE 2 4 pairs.
