Voted Down by the Senate

OF the bitterest foes Of the Equity
organization in the northwest.
Last summer when the Devils Lake
chautauqua directors were consider
ing having George Lotus speak at the
chautauqua during the session, Colonel
Kelly threatened to resign if Lotus
were allowed on the program and has
called Lotus an anarchist. socialist"
and crook.
At the recent meeting I have referr-
ed to, at which Kelly's steam roller
attempted to take the postoffice ap-
pointment away from anyone connect
ed with The Journal. Colonel Kelly
called out to me to peddle the news
of what happened to George LOTUS.
Colonel Kelly first injected the name
Of LOTUS into the meeting. If back
of his action does not lie hostility to
LOTUS and to Bloom who has been a
friend to LOTUS, why should Kelly
hurl such a defy at myself and other
farmers Of the county who have long
known that Kelly represents in demo-
cratic politics the same interest Nc
Kenzie represents in republican poll
tics?
His explanation of his action in this
matter and his statement OF his
friendship for the Equity movement
are merely an attempt on the part of
