WALTER MILLS
AT St. THOMAS
Was Advertised to Discuss
United Stores, But Failed
to Explain.

st. Thomas, N. D.. May ia very
orderly audience listened to Walter
Thomas Mills, the Nonpartisan speak
err for upwards Of an hour and a half
last evening, and the lack of applause
was very marked. That he has abil-
ity as a speaker was unauestioned,
from the fact that he talked SO long
and said 80 little.
The only argument he advanced in
favor Of Townley was that he had
kept his word with the farmers so far.
He repeatedly tried to provoke mirth
by the statement hat "Mr. Townley
could not make 1t rain" and hence his
financial failure. He advocated the
Australian system of government own
ership by which he said a farmer
could not fail even If he was no good,
o could he fail even il he did not
get a o .
Mr.. Mills was advertised to discuss
the Consumers Stors company, but his
talk on that point simply confirmed
the statements, of the articles of
agreement as published in the Nor
manden and the Grand Forks Herald,
some time ago. There was a certain
amount of the cash paid in tt be put
in the stores. and the balance was to
be used for warehouses or educational
purposes as the directors saw Mt, but
all was subject to Townley. In re-
turn for this the farmer. had the
privilege OF trading at the store at
cost plus 10 per cent.
File admitted that Townley could
skip out with the money, but thought
he was no more liable to do it than a
bank cashier.
Mills is a great advocate Of govern:
ment ownership, seeming to forget
that the dominant party in politics
constitute the government, and that il
that party should get corrupt, even il
they were the Nonpartisans, with 6
leader of Townley's honesty and in
tegrfty. it would take little less than
revolution to break their control. see
ing that all public utilities were sub.
servent. to them. If Mr.. Mills and Mr.
Townley follow their present tactics
they will not need 'to be able to make
it rain" nor will they need to go tt
Australia to avoid a failure, becaus,
neither of them has anything invested
in the business he is now in, and i
evidently is paying them handsomely
The meeting was a great disappoint
ment to those who were really looking
for information.
