HOME TOWN FEELING

During the war people learned to
cooperate, and they accomplished
things that anyone would have said
were impossible.
Having learned what can be ac-
complished by cooperation, alert
minded people naturally turn to their
home towns. IF we accomplished
such marvels in the war work." they
say, why can't We take hold now
and do equally amazing things right
at home Why can't we realize the
dreams we have always cherished for
our community" And then a lot
of them just go right ahead and do
things that five years ago would have
been regarded as beyond the range
of possibility.
Hire in Hope equally wonderful
things could be accomplished, If peo-
pie only thought so and would take
hold and work together. And if the
people do not acquire this Home
Town Feeling, and act on it, other
towns that have gained it will take
the lead In the building of commun-
ity life on higher plane.

LANCER SPOKE At FINLEY

Absolutely convinced of the crook
edness of Boss Townley and the in
iquitous possibilities of the Order Of
the Post Dated Check, hundreds Of
farmers of Steele County have re-
pudiated the management Of the
Non-partisan league and have re-
.buked the supreme court of North
Dakota by enthusiastically taking up
the burden of debt costs assessed
against LANCER and Hall and prom
Using to pay them whether they be
$40 or $4,000.
On Saturday LANCER spoke to 4
big mass meeting OF farmers at
Finley. The big majority of the
men present had been members of
the Nonpartisan league. and q good
number had attended the mess"
meeting at Fargo on Tuesday.
LANCER explained the closing of
the bank and laid bare the action of
the banking board from one end to
the other. The order Of the SUI
preme court assessing ally costs in
connection with the lese( fight
against LANCER and Hall personally
was the last straw and aroused the
ire of the farmers.
Over one thousand signed the fol-
lowing resolutions addressed to
Fellow Farmers of North Dakota
WHEREAS, We have heard our
fearless Attorney General William
LANCER on the closing of the Sean
dinavian-American Bank of Fargo
by the bank board, and saw him
back up his statements with written
documents and other papers
AND REALIZING That the tre-
mendous fight he is putting up al
most single handed against unscru-
pulous politicians and grafters, here
by send word to you fellow farmers
of North Dakota to stand by Attor-
ney General William LANCER In his
fight. We especially ask that you
subscribe to and read other news
papers than the Fargo Courier-News
and the North Dakota Leader,
which papers have been deliberately
lying about him.
FURTHER: We send word that
the farmers Of Steele County hereby
pledge themselves to raise enough
money among the farmers Of North
Dakota to pay in full taa Judgment
that the Supreme Court has ordered
him to pay. We will stick by Bill
LANCER and we will win.

meeting at Finley, North Dakota,

AS result of this meeting, LANCER
is receiving petitions from farmers
in various communities for similar
addresses. The action taken at Fin

Townley Bank:
"The people of Fargo evidently
take no took in Langer's charges
aginst the bank, judging from the
faith shown by the institution today.
They apparently have become thor
oughly convinced that the closing of
this bank was nothing but BASTARD
ly political trick, and such is the
fact.
"The scandinavian-American is
and was one of the strongest banks
in the state. There was no valid
excuse for closing it. 1t was a
criminal act, blow which was in
tended to destroy the farmers
banks of the state. It is to be hoped
that the guilty ones may be brought
to time and get their just punish
ment."
Then President H. ]. Hagen, au-
thor of the letter in which Pres
ident A. G. Townley of the National
Nonpartisan league was asked to
make good his promise to loan the
bank $50O,000 of the public funds
Of the state of North Dakota, Gin
order that We may be saved from the
fear Of embarrassment and dis
grace" which the banks financing
of Townley and his enterprises had
brought very close, according to Mr..
Hagen, has something to say:
"They" (referring to the farmers)
"have shown that in crisis they are
willing to make sacrifice to protect
their credit. They resent the unlaw-
full assault of the attorney general
of North Dakota, who they know is
nothing more or less than a willing
tool Of the monpolistic interests
within and without the state"
Although the supreme court held
postdated checks to be f1rst-class COL
lateral, negotiable to the same ex-
tent as any other bill of exchange,
payable at some future date"
President Hagen would appear to
have some doubts, as he advises a
prospective customer that "The post
dated checks are being paid, AND
OUR BANK TODAY is IN THE
BEST POSSIBLE FINANCIAL CON
DIT1ON." He also states that ii
is our plan 10 get individual deposits
from farmers throughout North
Dakota, so that no assault can be
in the future" r.
