American troops are wanted on the Ital-
ian front, not to defend Italy from the
Hun without but from the Hun within.
Italy has an ample supply of men. She
is sending her surplus men to France, but
the Americans are wanted to hearten the
Italian people, and convince them that,
despite German propaganda to the con-
trary, America is behind their country.
Germany has repeated the statement that
America is bIuffng, so often, that it is be-
Iieved in some parts of Italy.

The Park River herald DAYS this little trtbute

The Park River Herald pays this little tribute
to Judge Wick:
Judge Henry G. Wick Of Cavalier. who was
endorsed by the Lincoln Republican league
at it's Mimic meeting last week. for the office
Of congressman from the First Congress
sional district of this state, is man Of
unquestfoned integrity, ability and patriot
ism. He is also g. man of pleasing person
both foroeful and convincing. His school
ing and training has fitted him most excel
lently for this position
The Valley City Times Record has this com.
ment on the kept press:
1t tickles our risibles considerably every
time some Townley organ refers to any
paper who is not supporting that gentleman
as the kept PRESS 1t is to laugh The
only kept press" we know are those support
ed by Townley with money squeezed from
the farmers while the rest of who have
a conviction and independence all our own
are kept busy trying to make living in a
legitimate way.
The Dickinson Press expresses its curiosity
regarding the ownership of the Nonpartisar
Leader as follows
North Dakota members Of the Nonpart-
isan league who were led to believe that
they owned the Nonpartisan Leader may
be disillusioned for all time to come
According to a sworn statement made by
George w. Purcell, business manager of the
Nonpartisan Leader, published pursuant to
act Of congress- Albert J. Fox and Edwin F.
publication; that there known bond
holders. mortgages and other security hold
owning holding one per cent or more
Of total amount Of bonds, mortgages or other
securities.
The Mandan Pioneer has the following COM
ment on Senator Shermans speech:
Senator Sherman, Of illinois, in a speech
in the United States senate paid his re-
spects to Townley. He charged that the
president of the Nonpartisan league while
representing himself to represent the "op-
pressed farmer" really represents pro-Ger-
influence. During the attack. Senator
Sherman said that the principles Townley
advocated in Minnesota were the same prin-
ciples that Frank Little advocated in Butte
But they hanged Frank Little, said the SEN
ator, while Townley got a railroad ticket
quick enough that he is still the head
OF the league. ..>
The senator made the charges strong by
saying that Townley represents German in
fuence land has got pro-German money
from some place"
Now, Mr.. Townley, you should write an
article for your kept press" saying how
Senator Sherman has attacked the loyal
farmers of North Dakota.
