INSIDE HISTORY.

The Herald will begin tho publica-
ton early this week of a series OF
articles which it has purchased from j.
w. Brinton g. Co., relating to certain
controversies which have arisen
among those who have stood high in
the councils of the Nonpartisan
League. Some of these articles are
written by j. w. Brinton, former pri-
vate secretary and personal repre-
sentative Of A. c. Townlcy, and well
known to League members both for his
association with Mr.. Townley and for
his connection with the Consumers
Stores company and the newspaper
trust. Others are written by j. II.
Waters. former bank examiner Of
North Dakota and later manager of
the Bank OF North Dakota, to both
of which positions he was appointed
either directly by Governor Frazier or
with his sanction and approval.
Both these men were for. years in
timately associated with Mr.. Townley.
They participated actively in his work,
appeared in public with him Il we're
endorsed by him in every possible
way. during that long and close as
ISOLATION Mr.. Townley had ample OPP
portunity to learn the character of
they were truthful men or liars. He
knew whether they were men of bust
ness integrity or scoundrels. Not
until the present summer was there
intimation that Mr.. Townley consid-
cred these men other than men of
truth and integrity.
The Herald does not vouch for any
thing that Mr.. Brinton or MIR. Waters
says. 1t has bought these articles
Inc paid for them in order to be able
to place before ITS readers the signed
statements Of members of Mr.. Town
ley's official family concerning MI.
Townley's activities. Mr.. Townley
denounces both as liars. But it is to
be borne in mind that whatever their
character, they are the same men that
they were when Mr.. Townley was
their sponsor. The reader who
studies these documents, and who re-
calls the v~ituperation which has been
poured out upon the writers by their
recent personal and political partners
will form his own conclusions as to who
is lying, and how much, and they will
understand. further, that If Mr.. Town.
ley's present estimate of the charac.
ter of Brinton and Waters is correct
he was the willing associate and Thu
sponsor before the public of ner
whom he then knew to be liars anC
