The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1920-05-06

! Glance to pull the wool over the eyes
of the farmers and went about it by
securing some of the most viciousHe-
ports-no reporter with any respect
for his pofession would have done it
of the proceedings, but the final de-
cision of the high tribunal shows up
the tainted nature Of the news.
In almost every community of this
state you can pick out some of the
most vociferous opponents OF the non
partisan league and by delving back
INTO their history discover that they
once were socialists-so says the
Grand Forks American. Yes, once
but no more. These nen--lf there are
I such-are not so marble headed as
some Of the present socialists that sit
down in St. Paul and run the affairs
Of this state and certainly they are
vociferous opponents of the league II
/, they are ex-socialsts, as every other
I far seeing individual is. We have yet
to hear of a socialist being opposed
to the league--which is being run by
socialists and who are fast merging
! the two in one. The New York Call,
one Of the head organs of the Social
list parties praises the work which A.
c. Townley and the farmers are DO
ing here in the state. and expresses
the hope that their coveted object may
soon be obtained. The Call is mstak-
en- in one thing-the farmers are not
attempting to establish soviet form
of government here in the state and
a more loyal crowd Of Americans
could not be found any place. but by
the works which YOU do thus shall
YOU be Judged and the socialist organ
evidently Judges the work of the
heads of the nonpartisan league as
on a decided socialistic trend-and
why shouldn't they. The farmers pay
their sixteen dollars and that is all
trey say they have in the running OF
he state administration.
As was expected Hiram Johnson car
ries his state of California against
Herbert c. Hoover by practically a
vote of two to one on the face the
early returns this morning from that
state. This rather puts Mr.. Hoover
out Of the cunning taking his running
, into other States in consideration. Mr..
! Hoover has not made the big splurge
that some folks imagined he was go
ing to make and we can see no rea-
son why he should be considered as
a candidate at all. He has never taken
| any part in ire runningw of his gov
eminent unit! he was appointed food
administrator, living in other coun-
tries most of the time. On the other
han! Johnson is aggressive and has
gone before the people of the country
on the league of nations issue and IN
every instance where Senator john
son has spoken to the people on this
issue he has received a tremendous
vote. which shows how the people of
the country think on this peace ques-
ton. In Indiana Yesterday Gen. Wood
captured that state. Wood Will go
into the national convention next
month with big bunch Of instructed
delegates. but it has now developed
into a fight with the field against
Wood with a prospect of dark horse
getting the nomination. On the demo-
l,.ratic side it eAhs to be free for
all without any real fight for the nom
ination-there seems to be lack OF
pep or something among the demo-
!. .ratS this year.
Next week at Minot will assemble a
convention Of men who will gather
toge1her from all the corners OF the
state to nominate a ticket to combat
'Tovnlevism in the coming elections.
