Well, we kept on talking about the
store proposition, up one side and down
the other, but we always got back to the
question of what was going to be done
with the surplus money. Finally Town
ley seemed to get good and mad, and

what it really did provide. He told us a
story or two and then went away on an
early train.
Jim Manahan stayed with us the rest
of the night-clear to midnight. Jim said
he didn't know anything about the store
and told us a lot of funny stories. That
was all we could get.
Right there we made up our minds that
we wanted to see Townley, and get this
story straight. At that meeting there was
myself and Shipley, Montgomery, Fay
Harding, Frank Mehring, and several
other boys who, l can't just now remem-
Der.
We told Shipley, our Union secretary, to
correspond with Townley about getting a
meeting with him to talk about this store
question. Well, it took us long time to
get any satisfaction, but finally we got
together with Townley on the night of
January % in a room up in the Grand
Pacific hotel in Bismarck.
The arrangements for the meeting were
made between Mr.. Lemke of the league
and Mr.. Shipley.
The Union directors and myself
talked the whole thing over before
we went into the meeting with Town
ley. On January 26 a man by the
name of Tiegen, living up in Botti-
neau county, I think it is, gave us
copy Of the contract. That was the
first time had seen one since the
organizer had it, and never had had
any chance to study it much.
Townley Brought His Friends,
Including Governor Of the State.
On the night of january % at clock
we were in the Grand Pacific hotel, and
TOwnley brought along a whole lot of his
friends. 1t seemed to me there were fifty
of them, and while / can t remember all
Of them, / do remember that Governor
Frazier was IN the crowd.

that he was mad clean through, and he
was mad the whole night long.
ToWnley had asked that everything be
kept secret and we had expected to meet
only himself
However, we threshed things out with
the whole bunch for several hours, and it

was midnight before we were able to get
down to a meeting with TOwnley himself.
The others left-all except one fellow,
rather nice looking, clean shaver young
fellow, who Townley told us was his sec
rotary. He asked that we let him stay
with Townley and we decided to do so.
We were, after midnight, in session only
with Townley and his secretary, and eight
or nine Farmers Union members, direc-
tors and officers.
Wanted Townley to Put Stores
On Proper Business Foundation.
The first thing that we did after we
got Mr.. Townley alone was to ask him to
take the store proposition away from the
league because we were afraid it would
hurt the league.
He refused to do so.
Well, sir, he told us that the store prop
osition didn't have any direct connection
with the league, but that indirectly it did,
and guess that if you read the contract
over you will find that is the case.
We all held to the proposition that the
league would be harmed by this store
game, and we wanted to see the league 60
on to success.
Sought System So Farmer Would
Get Stock for Putting Money In.
Then we asked Townley that if he
wouldn't take it away from the league to
put it on a solid foundations business
basis, like the Rochdale plan. So that
when man put 500 in it he would have
some stoek-something to show for his
money.
Then ToWnley claimed that if he did
that-put it on the ROchdale plan-they
would keep him on the witness stand all
the time answering questions.
then handed copy of the contract to
Shipley, and he handed it to Townley.
asked If that was true copy of the con.
tract, and he said it was.
We got to talking about the store at
Kenmare, where Mr.. Townley said 600
farmers had taken certificates. That
meant collections there of 100000.
"That Is None Of Your G.
Damned Business, ToWnley Tells Them.
Then said to Mr. TOWnleyt
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1918-03-09

According to your own statement
we only put $4,000 into the store.
He answered yes. )"
Then what is to become of the
other $51, 000," asked him.
Townley stepped up to me, shook
his fist under my nose, and said it
was none Of my G. damned bust
ness.
"That is is none of your G.
damned business, is the way he put
it.
"Well, I says to him, ST am max
ing it my business. "
Mind you, I had put 500 of my
own money into this store PROPOSE

Then we went back to the store propo-
sition. We kept talking about the sur
plus, our questions always getting back
to that proposition.

ers have got your moneys worth, he
shouted.

He didn't have anything to Say to
that.
It got along toward O'Clock in the
morning and Townley's secretary saw
that things weren't going very good, and
he was trying to get Townley out of the
room. He had his overcoat on, and
can't just remember what did take place,
or what was said, but all of a sudden,
Townley struck George Sorber on the
chest. 1t was no gentle tap, either, and
Townley evidently expected to have to
fight, for he jumped back and threw his
overcoat off, dropping it on the floor.

Montgomery picked the coat up
and Townley put it back on again.
Sorber and Townley had been talk
ing about the Rochdale store plan
about half an hour before the mix
up took place, but I can't say just
what was said one way or the other
that led up to Townley's resorting to
violence.
This is the story Of the all-night meet
ing in Bismarck.
1t is the plain truth, and nothing else.
Ihaven t elaborated on a single point, and
feel that my story should convince any
right-thinking man in North Dakota that
am justified in fighting Townley.
l am fighting him for the filthy Ian
guage he has used in his private and pub
lie dealings with other people. He is not
of our kind of people.

The results of the bombardment
have not yet been announced.
For days the long range guns have
been on the American sector maneu-
vering for positions from which they
might successfully lombard the Sc
dan -Carignan-M -Montmedy Longuyon
line.
The cutting of this line, toward
which the Americans have been
pressing constantly, would mean the
virtual collapse of the entire Ger
man front to the Dutch border Even
to interrupt the railroad intermit-
tently would be huge gain, since
most of the German relief divisions
sent against the Americans have been
brought in over that line.

With the American Army North
west of Verdun, oct. IS, tby The As
sociated Press. Might patrols re-
ported early today that Clery-Le-
Grand had been cleared of the Ger
mans.
Farther west observers during the
day reported that enemy machine gun
emplacements were in process of con-
struction at various points and that
infantry is digging in in the region
of the La Dhuy farm east of the Bois
Des Hazois.
Aerial photographs taken within
the last few days indicate that the
Germans are not devoting much labor
to organizing their front line or for
ward positions, leading to the belief
that they possibly will fall back upon
as yet unidentified positions in the
rear If they are compelled to do so
The photograph shows that even the
existing trenches have not been
worked over recently except at one
Or two places in front of Landres-St.
Gecr9es. The work has been limited
to fox-holes and organized shell-holes.
The enemy probably intends to de-
fend his positions chiefly by taking
advantage of the natural features of
the terrain, just as he has done at
all noints on this frcnt since he was
driven past the Volker line Septem-
ber 26.
Experts figure that it is the inten-
tion of the Germans to delay any ad-
vance of the Americans and render
such advance as costly as possible by
covering Landres-St. Georges ridge
from positions imm Fliately behind it,
basfng their defense upon the domi-
mating ground to the north and west
and taking advantage of the hills and
woods. on other parts of the front.
