PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL
NORTH DAKOTA VOTE
HITS THENLP. LEAGUE
Frazier's Re-Election by Narrow
Margin Does Not Tell "
the Story.
Margo; N. D., Nov. 26. The most
severe reverses suffered by the non
partisan league at any time since it
became a political factor in North
Dakota were those sustained in this
year's election.
Contrary to the report circulated
by the Nonpartisan league press
throughout the group of thirteen
states in which it has operated, the
Nonpartisan league no longer holds
complete control of the North Da
kota government. It has suffered
loss of control of the house of repre
sentatives, and today it controls the
senate by the margin of a single vote.
One of its senators has already de
clared that he no longer will con
sider himself bound by the secret
caucus rule which the Nonpartisan
league has used in this state to such
excellent advantage during the last
four years. Even the majority of
one in the senate that the league now
enjoys may fall before the contest
that is being instituted on one of the
league senators by an independent
candidate.
Opposition Wins
In this election the independent,
or anti-Nonpartisan league forces,
elected for the first time, in four
years any considerable part of the
state officers. It is true that during
the last year and one-half three state
officers have not been aligned with
the league, but it is also true that
these three men. the attorney gener
al, sate auditor and secretary of
tsate, were elected two years ago
on the league ticket.
This year, for the first time since
the league entered the state, the op
position of the organization has suc
ceeded in electing a justice of the
supreme court of the state, and in
contests for the circuit or district
court berths, of which there are fif
teen in the state, the independents
succeeded in the election of ten
judges indorsed by them, while the
Nonpartisan league elected the other
five.
Wrecked the G. 0. P.
At no point where the Nonpartisan,
league was not forfeited with the
name of the republican party was it
successful in the election of a can
didate to office this year. They op
posed, unsuccessfully, the passage of
five laws, one, at least, vital to the
industrial schemes of the leaders of
the league.
The Nonpartisan league made its
bow in state politics four years ago.
That year it elected every officer on
the state ticket, with the single ex
ception of the candidate for state
treasurer. All of the candidtaes
elected by the league were on the
republican ticket except their candi
date for treasurer, who was on the
democratic ticket. The anti-league
candidate was on the republican tick
et, and was elected.
Two years ago the anti-Nonpartisan
league forces were successful in
the election of only one officer of
the entire group, that being the su
perintendent of public instruction.
Deflections from the league in the
two-year interval lost for them con
trol of three more state officers.
In 1916 the league also elected
eighty-five members of the house of
representatives, while the independ
ents elected only twenty-eight. In,
ID IS the league elected eighty-one
house members and the Independents
elected thirty-two. This year the
league has elected fifty-four members
of the house and the opposition has
elected fifty-nine.
Beaten in Legislature.
Election of state senators' has fol
lowed almcst the same course. In
laiii-twenty-five state senators were
elected. Of that group the nonpar
tisans elected eighteen, and the in
dependents elected seven. Two yars
ago, when twenty-four state sena
tors were elected, each for terms
of four years, the nonpartisan league
elected sixteen, and the opposition
eight. This year with twenty-six
senators elected, the independents
elected f;ivteen members, and the
league elected ten. One senator
elected was a recall, In which an
independent unseated a nonpartisan.
Another election was for the pur
pose of filling a vacancy caused by
death, and in this instance a non
partisan who died.
Will Investigate the Bank.
Some important results may be
anticipated as an outcome of the
change in control of the house of
representatives. That body has the
privilege of making investigations of
any kind it may determine upon, ir
respective of what the state senate
may do, and it is generally anticipat
ed that one of the first actions of
the house will be to order a full in
vestigation of the affairs of the Bank
of North Dakota and of the various
industrial enterprises founded by the
administration. Since these enter
prises were put under way, a policy
of Fecrecy has been maintained with
respect to their operation. The Bank
of North Dakota, for instance, has
been examined only by the bank ex
aminer of the state who is an ap
pointee of the governor, and his ex
aminations have been almost entire
ly merely a repetition of the re
ports made by the director general
of the bank. The opposition ha3
contended that the Bank of North
Dakota should be just as open as any
other public institution, and this
viewpoint has been strongly opposed
by the nonpartisan league leaders.
One of the group of initiated laws
passed this year provides for an ex
amination of the bank and all cither
industrial institutions by the -.-state
board of auditors comprised of three
elective officials. This law is in ef
fect on December 2 and it will af
ford an opportunity to the attorney
general, William Langer, the secre
tary of state, Thomas Hall, and the
state auditor, Carl Kositzlcy, to make
the investigation before their terms
of office expire on January 1. There
after the membership of the board
of auditors is made up of one inde
pendent officer and two nonpartisan
league state officers.
Frazier's Re-Election.
This year Lynn J. Frazier was re
elected governor by a majority of
4,642, the vote for Frazier being 116,
934, and for O'Connor, the independ
ent candidate, 112,292. With a vote
more than twice as large as in the
primary, Frazier's majority Is about
800 less than it was then. Two
years ago Frazier was elected gov
ernor by a majority of more than
17,000. while four years ago he had
a majority of 85,000. The reason
for Frazier's election this year is
found in the fact that Warren G.
Harding, the republican candidate
for president, carried the state by
a majority of 121.909. More than
50,000 republicans who voted for
Harding went over to the democratic
column and voted for O'Connor. The
nonpartisan league's candidate for
justice of the supreme court was
beaten by a majority of 7,47 6, while
the league's candidate for superin
tendent of instruction was beaten ty
a majority of 11,351. The group of
initiated laws, which the league i-o
strongly upholds, passed by majori
ties of from 8,173 to 11.982 each.
Two years ago the independent forces
had majorities in only eight coun
ties of the state. This year they
carried twenty-four counties, the
league carrying twenty-nine.
Socialist Vote Factor.
The socialist vote was a big factor
In controlling the republican pri
mary which gave the league its start.
There were about 8,000 votes cast
for Debs in the state, and all of the
socialists participated in the repub
lican primary in support of the non
partisan league.
The group of initiated laws that
were passed included one which vir
tually wrecks the nonpartisan's
newspaper trust while another one
modifies very materially the educa
tional law passed by the league two
years ago and which was intended
to give the league leaders control of
the public school system.
