ADDITIONAL EDITORIAL.

Attorney General LANCER has issued
a challenge to Arthur C. Townley,
president of the Nonpartisan league,
for debate on the question of closing
the Scandinavian American bank at
Fargo and on the recent Valley City
bank disclosures. If Mr.. LANCER ac-
cepts the challenge, there would not
be an auditorium in North Dakota
large enough to accommodate the
crowd. LANCER was elected by the
League and he is branded traitor to
the League cause by the League lead
ers. LANCER still claims to advocate
league principles but it appears that
there is chasm between himself and
the big boss that is so wide it can
never be bridged.

there is no sign of dandruff, and not
only is my scalp in excellent condition

treatment too highly.
