LEAGUE DEFEAT
ANTICIPATED
BY T0WNLEY
Attempts to Steal Democrat

ical Domination.
Move Had Been Anticipated
and Forestalled by Dem
ocratic Leaders.

"Leaguers should control both Re

says a fiaring headline in the North
Dakota Leader for Saturday. Non
partisans are entitled to run both or

known IN certain quarters ever since
Geo. w. Wilkinson, deposed Fargo
postmaster, announced his candidacy
for the Democratic nomination for
governor. that he was Townley's can

Fargo until a few months ago, when
he was removed by the president
after an investigation Of FL charges
against him. There is, Of course, no
chance for his nomination.
Rape Of Democrats Anticipated.

who is the regular Democratic nomi-
nee, and who will get the nomination
by a big majority, anticipated Town
ley's move some time and notified
all Democratic party leaders to this
effect and all necessary preventative
measures to counteract such q move
has already been taken.
Under ordinary circumstances 1t
would have been quite possible for
Townley to succeed in this, his second
attempt OF rape on a political party.
Two years ago he stole the Republican
party Organization with an ease that
was astounding and he could have re-
peated this performance this year
with the Democratic party II such a
move had not been anticipated md
forestalled. Under our present state
laws stealing a political party Is easy.
II it Is not anticipated. Each precinct
elects one committeeman. II there Is
only one Democrat in a precinct he
can elect himself as a committeeman
and where there are 100 or 200 Demo-
Gratis they still have to be satisfied

Townley Anticipates Defeat.
Townley has apparently early an

patton that with the combined Demo-

SAVINGS STAMPS UP MAY l.
Price Is to Increase 1 Cent Ate,
Midnight Tomorrow.

War savers and all who have not
started as regular purchasers of war
savings stamps are reminded there are
just two more days before the price
of each war savings stamp increases
one cent.
After midnight tomorrow the price of
war savings stamps will change from
s4.15 to s4.16. This new price will re-
main throughout the month of May.
Owing to|this increase, the Treasury
booth and the city post office expects
rush OF sales at the last minute on
Tuesday. They are making plans to
take care of the business.
The price of the thrift stamp re-
mains the same throughout the period
Of the campaign, 25 cents. These. it
will be remembered, were devised as
a means for those unable to purchase
the war savings stamps outright. to
save n little at time in order that
the purchase of the large stamps
would be made easier. and to aid in
spreading the gospel of thrift and saw
ing among people In all walks Of life.

FASHIONS

Frocks of heavy linen, smartly tall
ored, are coming in foEs warm weather
wear. They are expensive when bought
ready to wear. and certainly not par
ticularly cheap when made at home. as
good linen fabrics are scarce and very
high In price. But unless one wishes
to wait until the very end of the sea-
son. when mark down sales have
brought prices to a reasonable level,
making things at home Is a less ex-
pensive method Of dressing than pur-
chasing them ready to wear. and GER
tainly more individuality is possible.
