Farmers and Town Folk
Hear Interesting Debate
on League Bosses and
House Bill a. at Peters
burg Rather Start
ling Admissions Made.
(By Tom Parker Junkin.)

Petersburg. N. D.. March 1.-THE
Nonpartisan league proposes, when it
has secured control of the state of
North Dakota, including the legisla-
ture, to lump all the real estate
mortgages now existent and refund
them with cash borrowed on bonds
in the money markets of the nation
on basis Of 4 per cent. The amount
Of such mortgages now in force is
s30e. .0OO, 900.
This is the beautiful picture held
out to the farmers of this locality in
speech in defense of the Non
partisan league leaders, maye yester-
day by walter Quigley. superintend-
ent Of organization work in five coun-
ties of the northern part Of tho state.
MIR. Quigley has made the same
statement in other places. he says.
and has found the farmers very re-
ceptive of the suggestion. 1t is to be
doubted. however, that the farmers
are as ready to swallow this as Mr..
would have us believe.
To one who knows the farmers of
North Dakota it would seem that IL
they do believe this kind Of stuff
they are under some hypnotic spell
that makes them blind for the mo-
ment to common sense.
1t took Peter Myrovald of the
4>o1 AAuuNOh oOS a ulOulCuS " hHOCh
the thing into a cooked hat" when he.
in reply, humorously depicted Boss
Townley having the beautiful state
bonds printed with all the gold let
tering and pretty seals usually used
by the "blue sky" promoters and
carrying them off to New York and
into the offices of the money kings,
and getting them to buy these bonds
with which the Townleyites propose
to kill "big biz"
"Mr. Morgan will welcome Mr..
Townley with tears in his eyes and
these two greatest men of the nation
will fall on each others necks with
JOY" said Mr.. Myrovald.
There were other good things said
at this meeting yesterday in the
town hall of Petersburg. where the
farmers had been called to hear the
story of the Nonpartisan league and
Eouse Bill "A. There were about
ESQ present at the meeting, which was
ably presided over by Emil Esterson,
superintendent of schools. The
speakers included o. ]. Sorlie Of
