Beach, N. D., June 10.-Expected
trouble at the meeting called in
Beach by J: W. Brinton, general
stores company, charged in a federal
indictment with utterances tending
to discourage enlistmentN did not
materialize as a result Of the fact
that Brinton cancelled his engage
ment here, the Nonpartisan league
sending J. NJ. Baer, candidate for
congress in the First district; Karl
Kositzky. the Nonpartisan candidate
for state auditor. and Walter Thorn
as Mills. the Socialist orator instruc-
tor. to take Brinton's place.

cartoons and said little; Mills made

problems, seeking to leave the i'm

he is state treasurer. to the end that
the office record in handling the fund
may be cleaned by court decision.

while it is also generally understood
that J. M. Stills recently published
letter. in which Still called attention
to the Brinton store adventure in
Beach which cost several farmers
considerable money, was another
reason for Brinton's failure to come.

vertiSad date at Beach two. days
