No Possibility OF a Split

1t was evident to the most casual
observer that there is no possibility
of g split in the anti~Townley forces
Of the state in the fall campaign,
every speaker declaring his or her
determination to assist in the cleo
tion of the ticket headed by Mr..
O,Connor and predicting a sweeping
victory of the anti-socialistic forces.
Miss Minnie Nelson, nominee OIL
10th republican and democratic tick
ets, for state superintendent, declar-
ed that she took great pleasure in
announcing that she stood ready to
DO everyt thing in her power to see
the anti-socialistic ticket elected, and
that she believed that there would
be no question of a victory if the
truth could be carried to all Of the
people of the state as it had been in
Stutsman county.
Miss Nelson said that she regret
ted that the public schools of the
state had been, dra gged into politics,
and that the election of the anti
Towh1ey ticket in the fall would
again place them away from the
reach of the socialistic influences.
She reviewed the story of the infam-
Gus attempt of N. c. Mcdonald to
retain his grasp on the schools of
the state at the bidding of his boss
es, and lauded Attorney General
Langer for the part he had played
in the beginning of the end of Town
leyis1n in the state.
Three Cheers For Langc1
lighting Bill Langer came in for
his full share of the honor Of cutting
,lou,r, tho 40 ono, ma ioritv from,
1900 to 5000. Chairman SHINES
declared that the present fight was
just like a great football game,
where Langer had carried the ball
from the. 1900 majority line down
to the 500 majority line and o'Cof-
nor had been called into the game
at the critical time to- put the ball
over for a touch down. He declared
that there was no GHesticn aboNt
The ability Of O'Connor to carry the
ball across if he were given the pro-
per support and >"Interference' by
the rest of the anti-socialistic play
ers.
At the suggestion Of Judge. Palda,
the entire sassemblages stood end gave
three rousing cheers for the, Attor-
ney General (.
