Hyland Angry.
The afternoon session Of tho sem

in which he took exceptions to talks
given At Townley banquet the night
before when 1t 10 reported there were
charges made against msmbsrs Of
tho senate which didn't set we'll with
tho senators. Senator Hyland said

tho Nonpartisan league are not true
citizens Of the state Of North Da-

"They arc mon who would murder
the reputation of any man who was
striving with all the earnestness Of
his being to serve the people and
there Is no man guilty Of actual
murder who wins such detestation as
a man who deliberately murders the
reputation Of others.

dollars in taxes comes here to look
after their interests they can have

to dictate tho policy Of the state."

II Bill n did not disturb Lignite rates
there could be nothing wrong with the

safeguard tho Ignite interests. Rep

ly on the assurance that It did not
affect Ngnites.
