Makings of the 72nd (Cont.)
Regular Republican voters in North Dakota--once a breeding ground for political insurgency and the Non-Partisan League--went to the primary polls last week and renominated their three Congressmen: Olger B. Burtness (First District) Thomas Hall (Second District), James Herbert Sinclair (Third District).
Also renominated by the widest majority in the State's history was Republican Governor George F. Shafer.
The voting was a rout for the Non-Partisan League's Congressional candidates. In the third district Arthur Clarence Townley, the League's founder but lacking its endorsement, ran a poor third as a lone Wet.
Also defeated by the preponderantly Lutheran electorate was a proposition to let cinema houses stay open on Sunday.
