TOWNLEY TRIAL HELPS
WORK OF ORGANIZATION

The treatment accorded A. G. Town
ley, president Of the Nonpartisan
League, and Joseph Gilbert, former
manager, at their trials in Minnesota
has caused deep resentment among
farmers both inside and outside the
League. This is the report brought to
the League headquarters at Fargo by
scores of organizers. AS a result,
these organizers say, organization work
has been made much easier than it was
before. This resentment, they say, is
due to a feeling among the farmers
THAT the conviction of ToWuley and
Gilbert was unwarranted and very IN
just. /.
Harry Shoemaker, a widely known
organizer Of long experience, who has
been working in Cass county, says that
all he has to do to get farmers into
the League who have never been men,
bers before is to relate the story Of
the trial. Mr.. Shoemaker attended the
trial and saw it through from begin
ming to end. He asserts that former
opponents Of the League have joined
after hearing about the trial. He tells
of n farmer who has been solicited
by organizers every year since the
League was founded, who finally joined
when he heard the particulars of the
trial. The trial, said Mr.. Shoemaker,
affects them all the same, whether
they belong to the League OF not.
Henry P. Richardson, Of whom there
is no better known organizer In North
Dakota, c~orroborates these statements.
He has been organising in Grand Forks
and Trail counties. He said: 1.-THE
Townley trial has done no harm with
any element Of farmers in the state.
It Is all the other way. It is easier to
organize than ever before. I have
brought over a dozen farmers into the
organization recently who voted against
the League in the referendum election.
The neutral" farmers. were mostly
against W. in the election-thanks to
the tricks and Misrepresentation Of
the opposition. The trial is swinging
them back to the League side. It is
causing . distinct reaction against the

splendid film has made remarkable
success in New York and Chicago,
where it proved genuine sensation,
and il promises to cause furore
here. being an especially timely Of
fering for the Lenten season.
One of the most effective musical
comedies ever given to the stage
was the three-act offering, The
Only Girl" by Henry Blossom and
Victor Herbert. By the author and
composer the farce with music has
been abridged for vaudeville pur-
poses, and it is being presented this
week at the Orhepum as the stellar
attraction, with capable cast of 10
oeople. several of whom were in
the original production. Joseph E.

seen to advantage in the one-act
farce by Willard Mack, who Is

MOST of the scenes for "A Mid

nHOSE who know what the

Little Symphony is the most ambi-
nous achievement of this interesting
and wholly uncommon musician,
who divides his honors equally be-
tween the distinction of being the
worlds greatest flute player and
that OF being the founder and con-
ductor OF the foremost chamber
music organization OF the day. An
outgrowth of a little choir, of the
reed and pipe is The Little SYM
phony. 1t is an orchestra in minia-
ture and combines the string quar-
>tet and the wind quintet in delightful
chamber music works, which de-
nand exqulsiteness of detail rather
than volume of sound. The Little
symphony IS an orchestra of vir-
tuosi, led by virtuosa; small won
der that it has gained a reputation
tor all that is elegant, artistic and
aristocratic in music. On tomorrow
