WITH THE EDITORS
WHEN GREEK MEETS GREEK

When Arthur C. Townley and Attorney Gen.
eral William LANCER were covered by the same
political bed clothing, the North Dakota situation
lacked the touch of spice it now presents.
But now that the attorney general has kicked
off the coverings, and has even planted cold
foot in the middle Of the Townley back, things
are happening, and happening fast.
William has about three ideas for every one
that passes through the Townley intellect. "1n-
siders'' in the league have always maintained
that Townley got his theories from such advisers
as LeSueur and Mills, and his practical politics
from men like Coates and our present attorney
general. NJ 5sHg- NJ
But, be that as it may, there is now somebody
fighting Mr.. Townley who knows every trick in
theaTownley box and can think just little far
ther ahead than the astute boss of the league.
When Mr.. LANCER decided that the consumers
stores would stand some investigation, there was
CONSERVATION in the league bureau. Immediately
the old trick of starting counter barrage was
brought out and busted off for use OF course,
it had to be shown that big Business" was
trumping up the charges against the stores.
Therefore this $4,000 fund for the community
program was discovered" The local Kept
Beauty of the Brinton harem splashed some red
ink about the attempt Of Big Business to put the
consumers stores out of business.
Promptly Mr.. LANCER comes back with the
cffer Of reward of $1,000 to be paid out of his
own pocket, for information that will result in
the conviction of any persons guilty of so con-
spring
Also Mr.. LANCER refuses to be "read OUT of
the league by the big boss. If there is any read
ing out to be done, Townley is going to be the
victim, he says.
Truly, friends, it looks like promising battle.
We'd like to get a little bet down on, the attor-
ney general, for we feel that Arthur is carrying
a little too much weight around with him. He
can't go the whole route with such handicaps as
his banks, stores and newspapers pulling him
down.
Besides his SECOND" the local morning paper
isn't tending strictly to business. Instead Of see
ing that the Big Chief is properly rubbed down
after each round, it is running all over the hall
bleating about the beauties Of Bolsbevism.-
