North Dakota Bond Sale Linked to Col Little and Party
The North Dakota sale of three million dollars in state bonds credits banker C B Little of Bismarck as key to the issue and recalls his past as a state senator. The piece argues Little’s role signals potential better credit and criticizes league leaders for relying on stalwart politicians, while noting a political shift toward business leadership. It also comments on national topics including President Wilson, the sugar shortage, and postwar economies. Black and white race tensions are harshly labeled with provocative, discriminatory language, arguing segregation and denouncing racial equality ideas.
