ORTIZ DAKOTA POLITICS
and POLITICIANS

Walter J. Maddox, representative
from Mountrail county, has broken
into print with a column and half
article devoted to Geo. Murray, the
same being published In The Parsh-
all Leader. 1t appears that MT
Murray had recently made a spirit
ed attack upon Anthony Walton,
floor leader of the house in the last
session, because Mr.. Walton chances
to own some bank stock at Minot,
and therefore can't be considered a
simon pure "on the soil" farmer.
Mr.. Maddox challenges that as
sertion, and insists that Mr.. Murray
is mistaken on several points. In
part, Mr.. Maddox writes as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Murray goes on to discredit
Mr.. Townley for selecting kraabel
for lieutenant governor and Walton
for floor manager Of the house. l
believe no one regrets more than Mr..
Townley any mistake made in the
Leagues selection Of officers, Wheth-
er it be a lieutenant governor,
railroad commissioner or (1oor
manager), and possibly Mr. Murray

anyone else-because he was the
owner Of bank stock or for other
reason. He merely assumed lead
ership on the floor of the house
through natural ability and reCogniz-
ed honesty and integrity.

elusive proof that Townley Wood
and Walton and the rest of the Non
partisan league are merely Camou-
fiaging, and secretly trying TO form
a union with bankers and insurance
companies, we will be very glad to
hear it ALI.
The political affairs of the Mercer

little indication Of early adjustment
and new letters and counter letters
are being written and published by

that have developed there within the

When he replied in the negative they
invited him to hop in and register his

Hollenbeck declares he did not stop
to think that he had not become a

States, but went ahead and thought
nothing more OF 1t until complaint
