THE ENDORSEMENT" OF TOWNLEY

q Most people had forgotten that such a thing as the
8onpartisan league election was in progress until re-

ahich- was a vote of approval of the election Of A. C.

IS Mr.. Townley could scarcely have selected a more ef-
@ctive manner of showing his contempt for the intclli-
4snce OF the members of the Nonpartisan league than in
Iannanding and providing for an election in this form.
a will be recalled that several weeks ago, when Mr.
sgownley was reelected president of the society which he

Sc was reported to have declared that he would not &C.

IA the league. The president was chosen, and the mem.
GERS were then invited to vote for or against him. And

Ease to the will Of the members!
