D. LEAGUE IN BAD WAY

LEAGUE IN BAD WAY
The wording of this call seem to
indicate that the league managers anti.
cipate no permanent relief from the
supreme court whose alternative writ
Is returnable next Wednesday, AZ
which time William Lemke, member
Of the executive committee of the
National Nonpartisan league, must con.
vince the court in open session that
the temporary injunction which it has
directed against the members of the
state banking board and their tenn
pOrary receiver should be made per-
manent.
1t is generally believed that the
league Is In severe financial straits.
Were this not fact, contend those
who claim to know, the league would
have gone to the relief of the Scandi-
navian-American bank by redeeming
the almost half million dollars worth
of league paper-consisting largely OF
post-dated notes-with which the in.
stltution was loaded. The only reason
the league did not do this, it is said,
was because there was not sufficient
money in the league treasury and 40
source from an adequate loan could be
made.
The league treasurer recently mailed
out letters to 700 or more state banks
inviting each of them to contribute
$1,000 to the cause and to accept
simple six-months note, without COLA
teral, as security These letters came
to bankers in the same mail which
brought them redeposits from the Bank
of North Dakota. The scheme Of financ-
ing, however, does not appear to have
succeeded. Fargo headquarters of the
league admit that very few bankers
accepted the lure and mailed their
thousand dollars to the Scandinavian
American bank, which the league de-
signated as its repository.
The league has exhausted every
! other form of money getting that has
been devised. 1t has sold life member
ships at $100; Consumers United Store
Co. certificates for the education Of the
farmer at the same price; shares in
the league exchange and stock in lib
orally watered newspapers. In order
to get the farmers money it has been
necessary in large percentage Of
cases to accept post-dated checks, aud
it is with such collateral that the
league has loaded up the Scandinavian
American. Apparently the actual cash
realized from the negotiation Of these
post-dated checks through the Scam
dinavian-American bank has gone the
same route as the several million dol
lars in real money which President A.
\ c. Townley and his associates have al
. ready collected and expended.
The call for the Fargo mass meeting
is an invitation to the farmer to con-
tribute once more ~

FINDS AGAINST
NC. MACDONALD
Highest Tribunal in State Rules
Miss Nelson Qualified
for Her Job
JUDGE NUESSLE AFFIRMED

The supreme court, with Judge J.
NJ. Hanley of Mandan sitting for AS
sociate Justice Bronson, who was dis
qualified, today for the second time
declined to remove Miss Minnie j.
Nelson from the office of state super
tendent Of public instruction, at the
request of N. C. Macdonald, her pre-
decessor. .. ......
The supreme courts action today
was in the quo warranto proceedings
instituted by N. C. Macdonald in the
Burleigh county district court last
spring, following Macdonald's eviction
from the office of state superintendent
on a writ of mandamus issued by the
supreme court. In district court Judge
Nuessle held that Macdonald had nc
constitutional grounds for action, and
he dismissed the case. Macdonald
then appealed to the supreme court
which affilms Judge Nuessle.
Macdonald attacked Miss Nelson's
qualifications for the post to which
the people elected her. On this subject
the supreme court holds:
"That a professional certificate is
sued under the provisions of Sec. 737,
R. C. 1899, is a teachers certificate of
the highest grade issued in this state,
within the purview of Sec. 1105, C. L.
1913.
"That such certificate cannot be
collaterally impeached on the ground
that it was issued without adequate
examination.
