What Others Say: LANIER for Congress
United States Senator Lynn J. Frazier
Says: Vote for Lanier for Congress
United States Senator, Lynn J.
Frazier, true and tried friend of the
small business man, farmer and lab
orer. Lynn J. Frazier, the only dirt
farmer in the United States Senate.
The United States Senator who intro
duced a resolution abolishing war and
who advocated spending the eighty
six cents of the tax dollar now spent
for war, spent on agriculture and for
home development purposes.
At a public meeting attended by
some six hundred citizens from
Griggs, Eddy and Foster Counties,
Senator Frazier made the following
statement: “Let there be no misun
derstanding; let there be no mistake
about this. lam unalterably opposed
to the sending of Thomas Hall to Con
gress. His record is that of an abject
tool to Big Business. Although a
member of the powerful Agriculture
Committee, he has used his position
to hurt the farmer and not to help
him. The ‘Old Gang’ in Washington
counts upon him every time they are
in a tight place and he never fails
them. The farmers, laborers and
small business men are making a seri
ous mistake if they vote for Hall. P.
W. Lanier of Jamestown, is for the
debenture and in favor of the repeal
of the National Origins Act and would
give his solid backing to the Progres
sive Bloc in Congress.
“I cannot make my appeal to the
voters of the Second Congressional
District too strong. Be sure and vote
yourself and get your neighbors to
vote, no matter how busy they may
be, for P. W. LANIER for Congress.”
FOOLING THE FARMERS
McHenry County Rips Mask of
Hypocrisy From Face of Tom Hall
We, Republicans of McHenry Coun
ty, North Dakota, for the first time
in the history of this County favor
voting for a Democrat for Congress.
Two years ago when Hall cam
paigned, he said he should be re
elected because he was a member of
the powerful agricultural committee.
We find now that eternal vigilance
is the price of liberty. For six years
this so - called representative has
“skinned the farmers.” Instead of
working for and with the farmers, he
has consistently worked the other way.
The only way to increase the value
of land is by letting the Germans,
Scandinavians and Russians come into
this country and take up the land and
give us a good population, but Hall
voted to bar them—to keep them out.
We need cheap money with a low
rate of interest. Hall voted that
France could pay her war debt of bil
lions of dollars over a period of sixty
two years with interest at one and
one-half per cent. Frazier and Nye
voted the other way. Hall gave an
interview in the Fargo Forum prais
ing the President for vetoing the deb
enture. Frazier and Nye voted the
other way. We KNOW our friends,
and we know our enemy. Hall skinned
us and let us skin him at the polls on
November 4th and nail his hide to the
wall, as a warning to political traitors
in the future by voting for Lanier for
Congress.

LANIER FOR CONGRESS
Read What the German Patriotic
Society Has to Say of Thomas Hall
At a meeting of the executive com
mittee of the Steuben Society, the
following resolution was passed:
Baron Von Steuben left the old
country and came to America to as
sist George Washington, in his glori
ous fight for liberty. He came when
prospects for success were the dark
est. He joined Washington at Valley
Forge. With his money he bought
shoes and clothing for Washington’s
brave men. While Lafayette was en
couraging the soldiers by appealing to
their love for gayety, Von Steuben
was drilling them in the expert man
ner that only a former general in the
German army could teach them.
The last official act that President
George Washington as President of
the United States did, was to once
more write a letter to Von Steuben
thanking him for having saved this
country. The German people of
North Dakota, have been proud in
past years to join their copatriots in
every state in the Union, in honoring
this wonderful man.
From Von Steubens time on the
German people have been among the
very best citizens of America. In
North Dakota they comprise ap
proximately forty per cent of the
population and pay approximately
one-half of the taxes. They have
been among the best citizens of the
state. They feel that they have
earned and merited by their example
the support of the Congressmen of
North Dakota.
When the National Origins Act was
therefore before the Congress, they
felt confidently certain of the sup
port of the three congressmen from
North Dakota. The Germans were
joined in their belief by the Scandi
navians of this state, who are also
being discriminated against by said
legislation. Shoulder to shoulder the
German people fought with the Scan
dinavian people for what they had so
well earned in this state. Congress
man Burtness of the first District and
Congressman Sinclair from the third
District voted for the Germans and
Scandinavians. Thomas Hall voted
against them and in favor of Italians.
We cannot find words sufficiently
harsh to condemn Thomas Hall. He
has voted against the racial interests
of every German and Scandinavian in
North Dakota. There is just one way
to punish him, and that is to see that
he does not get back to Washington.
Therefore the Steuben Society of
North Dakota, announces its whole
hearted support for P. W. LANIER
of Jamestown, North Dakota, for
Congress, confident in the belief that
when the National Origins Act comes
up for amendment that P. W. Lanier
will join Congressmen Burtness and
Sinclair from this state in seeing that
that act is so amended that our rela
tives and friends can come from the
German and Scandinavian countries
into the “land of the free and the
home of the brave.”
Dear Friends:
One hundred or more voters of the
Second Congressional District met in Fes
senden, the evening of October 23rd and
there decided that for the best interests
of the State of North Dakota, Thomas Hall
should be separated from the public trough;
that he has not worked for his constitu-
ents , but worked and voted against them and
their senators, Frazier and Nye, on every
important issue dealing with their wel
fare .
The list of voters contained in
this letter, were elected as a committee to
see that Hall was left at home and P. W.
Lanier elected in his stead. Not all of
these parties were present but there were
representative citizens from every county
in .the district and because of scarcity of
Thanking you in advance, we are,
Very truly yours,
THE COMMITTEE.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE.
Read What the Officers of the Sons
of Norway in Hall's Home Town
Have to Say About Him
To Our Fellow Countrymen:
Believing that you are interested in
the Scandinavian race from the time
of Leif Erickson down to the present
time, we respectfully ask that you
vote against Thomas Hall, now a can
didate for Congress.
This man well knew that the rec
ord of the Scandinavians and Ger
mans of this state and of the United
States has been splendid. This man
well knew that they were and are
among the best citizens of North Da
kota and of the United States of
America. He well knew too that the
Scandinavian people and the German
people have helped as much as any
people to make North Dakota and the
United States, what they are today.
Nevertheless, this man, as a Con
gressman, elected to represent these'
very people, voted for the National
Origins Act, so bitterly fought against
by such men as Senator Shipstead of
Minnesota, and the Scandinavian aiid
German Congressmen from the
Northwest, which included not only
Congressman Burtness of Grand
Forks, but also Senators Frazier and
Nye of this state. This bill prac
tically makes it impossible for any,
except a very few of our countrymen,
to come to the United States. We
have to wait for years before our
relatives or dear friends can come
over here. •
Under the terms of this bill, for
which Hall voted, England can send
in nearly as many immigrants as
Germany, Norway, Sweden, and Rus
sia combined, and Italians and other
races from Southern Europe can also
pour in. We are descriminated
against.
P. W. Lanier of Jamestown, who
is running against Mr. Hall on the
Democratic ticket, has promised to
do all that he can to amend this in
iquitous measure that the percentage
of our friends may be as great as
from other countries.
We ask you now for the sake of our
loved ones in the Old Countries, to
vote for P. W. Lanier, for Congress
man of the Second District.
STUTSMAN COUNTY
At a regular meeting of the Execu
tive Committee of Stutsman County
Democrats, the following resolution
was passed:
The Democrats of Stutsman Coun
ty, North Dakota, in Convention as
sembled, take great pleasure in pre
senting to the people of North Dakota,
P. W. Lanier for Congress of the Sec
ond District and Pierce Blewett for
the Governorship. These two men
are the two most outstanding men in
this county. They are known all over
the central part of North Dakota for
their uprightness, honesty and un
swerving loyalty to the Democratic
principles of this Republican form of
government. We earnestly urge their
election, confident in the knowledge
that Pierce Blewett’s administration
will reflect tremendous credit to the
State of North Dakota, and that P. W.
Lanier if elected to Congress will un
falteringly take his stand among the
Progressives in Congress and work
for the welfare of agriculture.
At a meeting of the Progressive
Voters of Griggs County, the follow
ing resolution was passed:
We point with pride to the fact that
this County is overwhelmingly Re
publican. Six years ago this county
had the honor of presenting as an.
opponent to Thomas “Hall, Gerald P.
Nye. At that time Senator Nye was
unknown and the present Congress
man Thomas Hall had servel twelve
years as Secretary of State. During
the last six years, our son, Senator
Nye, has made a nation-wide reputa
tion favorably and well known to all
of the Republicans in the State.
During all of those six years he has
had the active continuous opposition
of Thomas Hall. Thq Republican
party of Griggs County is of
the accomplishments of their son, and
we cannot too emphatically condemn
the tricky, adroit and questionable
maneuvering of Congressman Hall,
in seeking to belittle, annoy and
hinder our Senator Nye, in his
magnificent work. Hall has never
worked with the Progressives in Con
gress. He has done nothing merito
rious for the Republican party while
in Congress. Our investigation con
vinces us that P. W. Lanier of James
town, candidate for Congress, will
vote with the debenture. With wheat,
the basis of the wealth of 50% of the
people in this county, at sixty cents
a bushel, Hall still fights the deben
ture, when men like Senator Borah,
Vice President Dawes, “Keynes, the
leading economist of Great Britain,”
and two-thirds of the members of the
house and senate supported it. Hall
is not offering any substitute but is
lined up with the Old Gang, in oppos
ing a measure that he ought to have
intelligence enough to know will aid
the farmer and business men of this
country. Hall has allied himself with
those who live off the sweat of the
working man’s brow of this country.
He is a disgrace to the Republican
party and an enemy to the best inter
ests of the Common People, striking at
Senator Nye in an effort to discredit
him and to cause his defeat two years
hence. Now, therefore, we recom
mend the election of P. W. LANIER
for Congress and urge the Repub
licans to give him their vote.
Nonpartisan People In Halls Home
County Endorse Lanier
The following resolution was passed
at a meeting of the Executive Com
mittee of the Nonpartisan League of
Burleigh County,
Being fully convinced that Thomas
Hall has not worked for the best in
terests of the people of the Second
District, during the time that he was
in Congress, but that he has consist
ently voted with the “big boys” of
the east, and his records and inter
views in the newspapers showing that
he has consistently fought Senators
Frazier and Nye.
BE IT RESOLVED that we urge
all members of our organization to
work and work hard for P. W. Lanier
for Congress.
EMMONS COUNTY
At ft meeting of the Executive Committee of the
Republicans of Emmons County, North Dakota, the
following resolution was passed:
A country’s success is measured by its prosperity.
The Republican party believes in the people being
prosperous and nappy. In order to have a happy
and prosperous community the Republican party
works thrqugh its representatives and from the time
of Abraham Lincoln, the founder of this party down
to the present time, the Republican party has always
prided itself on getting rid of men like Hall, Denby,
and Dougherty and others who have betrayed it, and
in ridding itself of all traitors to Progressive thought.
The bridge over the Missouri river promised to us
has been delayed for nearly two years because of the
lack of Federal appropriation, which bridge was
promised us two years ago by Thomas Hall. All we
have had from Hall has been promises and words
and words and promises. What we have wanted for
two years has been action. While Mr. Hall has been
wined and dined by the bankers and millionaires in
Washington, our people have been getting poorer
and poorer. The bridge, had we had it would have
saved us thousands of gallons of gasoline, and the
cost thereof; it would have helped us in transport
ing and selling our produce and in bringing more
business into our part of the country, and in a great
many ways it would have aided the common people,
the farmers and business men.
Therefore in accordance with the life long tradi
tion, of the Republican party, we repudiate this so
called representative and contend that Thomas Hall
is not a Republican. That the Republicans owe him
no allegiance and are not under the slightest duty or
obligation to him in any manner whatsoever or for
any reason, as he has done nothing for us.
We therefore urge, that every Republican in this
county work earnestly and steadfastly for the elec
tion of P. W. LANIER of Jamestown, North Dakota,
for Congress, he can do not less for the farmers than
Congressman Hall has done and we honestly believe
that we will do more. .

GRIGGS COUNTY
Give Lanier a Chance to Do for the
Farmers What Hall Would Not Do,
Say Republicans of Dickey
County
At a regular meeting of the Non
partisan Executive Committee of the
Republican Central Committee of the
County of Dickey, the following reso
lution was passed:
We point with pride to the fact that
this county is overwhelmingly Repub
lican. For the past six years, Thomas
Hall has been congressman from the
second district in North Dakota. He
has always represented to us that he
was for the interest of the farmers.
We are fully convinced that he is not
for the interests of the farmers, in
that he voted for the iniquitous tariff
bill which increased the tariff from
the sum of twenty-five per cent to
forty per cent, on all manufactured
articles, leaving the farmers in the
same relative position as they were
under the old tariff law.
We are also against Thomas Hall
on account of the fact that he has
appointed as postmasters, Alec Wright
of Oakes, North Dakota, and W. L.
Saunders of Ellendale, North Dakota,
because they have always been against
anything that was for the benefit of
the farmers.
We believe and feel that P. W.
Lanier, the Democratic candidate for
Congress, will vote for the Debenture
and will also vote for the McNary-
Haugen bill in case the same is brought
up again. At the present time it is
impossible for a farmer to make a
living for that is the reason we highly
endorse P. W. Lanier, the Democratic
candidate for congress and recommend
that everyone vote for him and urge
each and every one of you to get out
and work for him on election day.
At a meeting of the Executive Com-
mittee of the Progressive Republi
v cans of Logan Couny, North Dakota,
the following resolution was passed.
Having just read the splendid reso
lution passed in Mclntosh County,
North Dakota, and in all things con
curring in the sentiment therein ex
pressed and realizing that Thomas
Hall has always been seeking the
votes of the German people of this
county, by claiming that he has Ger
man relatives and is therefore friend
ly to the Germans, and knowing that
we must judge a man by wnat he does
and not by what he is, and Tom Hall
having shown his disregard for the
race by voting for the National
Origins Bill which is keeping thou
sands of our friends and relatives in
Germany, Sweden, Norway and Russia
out of this country, when we need
them so badly, and by so doing has
caused intense suffering and grief
among the common people who wish to
be reunited with their loved ones, and
whereas he was devoid of all sincerety
in voting to keep these friends and rel-
atives of ours out of this country and
voted to admit the Italians.
NOW, therefore, Be It Resolved that we
call upon the Italians in this county to give
him their vote if they choose to do so, but
we urge each and every German, Scandi
navian and Russian in this County to remain
steadfast and to tote against Tom Hall,- our
common enemy, and to vote for P. W.
Lanier ,of Jamestown, who is a friend of
Lynn J. Frazier who has proven himself to
be our friend.

McINTOSH COUNTY
At a meeting in Mclntosh County,
the following resolution was passed:
During the war, this county led all
others in the purchase of Liberty
Bonds. Not a single conviction was
had for disloyalty, although this
county is 95 % Germans. A few
fanatics devoid of all sense of right,
justice and reason wrongfully ac
cused all of us of being enemies of
America and dangerous to the peace
and prosperity of this country. Ad
joining us in South Dakota, these
fanatics because of the support of
some officials were in control. The
prosecutions were legion. The Ger
man language was barred from the
pulpits, from the telephone and even
from a marriage service. To whisper
in the German language was a felony.
In North Dakota, Lynn J. Frazier,
then Governor, stood like a Rock of
Gibraltar between the German peo
ple and these so-called one hundred
percenters. All the while that Frazier
was fighting their fight and seeing
that they got justice he had the con
stant, active opposition of Thomas
Hall, now Congressman of the second
district. We are confident that P. W.
Lanier is more of a German than
Thomas Hall and that he will give
Senator Frazier active support in
seeing that the National Origins Bill
is changed so that we can have our
relatives come into this country from
Germany and Russia and the Scandi
navian countries. Hall continued to
be our enemy by voting for this bill to
keep our relatives and friends in Ger
many and Russia. "Lynn J. Frazier
was one of the leaders in the fight to
get our friends and relatives into this
country if they wished to come. We
say, reward him by leaving his enemy
Tom Hall at home and sending P. W.
LANIER to Congress in his stead.
Committee Asks People to Support
Democrat for Congress
At a special meeting of the Repub
lican Central Committee of Kidder
County, North Dakota, the candidacy
of Thomas Hall for relection was un
animously condemned as follows:
Thomas Hall is unfit to be our rep
resentative in CongreM. For six
years he has been a member of the
Agricultural Committee, one of the
most powerful committees in the
house. When he ran for re-election
the last time he stated that he should
be re-elected because he was a mem
ber of that Committee.
Red durum wheat today (Septem
ber 29th, 1930) is 44c. Hall voted for
a tariff of 42c. So six years was
spent in giving the farmers two cents
a bushel for their wheat. If wheat
drops three cents more, Tom Hall will
be owing us money. Although we are
Republicans, we are voting for Lanier
for Congress, and we urge the farm
ers and business men of this county
to do likewise.
