INVITES BOSS
TO HIS PARTY
Rep. Edward w. Herbert Says
Dunn County Longs for
Voice of the Master
TALKS TURKEY TO ARTHUR
Declares Townley's Old Line of
Bunk Is So Stale II Smells
to the Heavens -

Rep. Edward w. Herbert of Dunn
Center was one Of the most loyal league
members of the house in the last as
Townley commanded the legislators to
| vote 100000 worth of public patron
age into string of newspapers which
Job Brinton had picked up cheap. This
proved too much for Herbert, just as
| it did for the Nathan brothers, OF Lo-
! gan and Sheridan, and for Uncle Jim
Harris of Mercer county, and Kunkel
of Wells and other house members.
Edward went home disgusted with the
entire Townley regime, and he has for
! the last three weeks been insurging
all over Dunn county.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Herbert is one Of
those whom Townley has listed as
traitors, fools and cowards,' the
Dunn county sOlon has invited Mr..
Townley to Killdeer to tell the home.
folks what he GMr. TownleyD thinks
OF their representative CMr. Herbert.)
His open letter to Mr.. Townley,
which leaguers have requested The
Tribune to publish, follows,
! Dunn Center, n, Oak.
II, March "a, 1919.
Mr. A. c.. TOwnley, i
|: Dear Sir: =.
In reading your message to- the six
teen dollar suckers in the n D.
Leader date of the % inst. see that
habit Of referring to those that do not
harken to the masters voice" as
traitors, fools and towards. H..
This line Of stuff Is one reason that
| have made it point to leave :ae
hall when you got up to talk. do not
| feel that you are at fault in this, as
am sure you are doing your best.
and that is all we can expect of any
one. -
Your blow.off in this issue is along
the line of dope that you handed out
at that big banquet You surely i'm.
press us all with your sincerity. Be-
tween the big feed and your talk we
all got our belly-full. l not only see
in the "Kept Press" but also in "Our"
Leader that the Big Blow Off has hap
pened
Give Him Rope Enough.
There is an old saying about giving
fellow enough hope and etc etc. |
think you have received your allOt-
ment. 1t has always been q mystery
how you were able to fool so many
people as long as you did. What hurt
me most is to think you also fooled
me until heard you speak, just once.
Now let me get to the point or rath-
er my reason for writing this letter.
In your ''hot air" dope you refer to a
number Of legislators as having been
approached. supposed that you mean
that some one tried to bribe them.
You also say that an attempt was
made to reach y0u along the same
lines.
Why do you not name these men
that attempted these things?
Why did not my friend Caddel name
the man? q.

city officers after campaign said
to have been the most bitter in the
history of the municipality. With six
candidates in the field for mayor, par

famed high during the campaign, cul-
minating in demonstrations last night.
The candidates for mayor are Will

dependent democrat, states attorney;
John Fitzpatrick, Labor; John M. Col

Each Of the four leading candidates
claims his election today, altho polit-
ical forecasters say they are at loss
to make anything like credible pre-
diction. The vote of the independents
is conceded to be the controlling fac

heavy, estimates being that 100000
of the. 792, 900 eligible to vote will ap-
pear at the 2,215 election precincts.

NOT GUILTY IN
DIR. MILLS CASE

Fargo, April 1.-The jury in the
case of Walter T. Mills charged with
violating the espionage act this morn.
ing returned a verdict Of not guilty
on the instructions of Judge Ami.
don.
Judge Amidon in instructing the
jury held that the evidence was one
sided.
Mills was indicted on five counts
for speech made in Fargo in June,
1918.
He was charged with having de,
clared in his speech that the .'men
who are fighting in France are not
the sons of members of commercial
clubs, chambers of commerce, bank
ers, and commercial statesmen, but
our sons and that "for every thou
sand men killed in France new mil
lionaire is made in America"
The government contended that
Mills remarks were designed to pre-
vent enlistment and to interfere with
the recruiting service of the United
States.
The defense asserted that Mills
qualified his statements by saying
that a majority of our, men" are not
sons of members of commercial
clubs, etc, and that the second state
ment was criticism of profiteers an l
not of the government
