Greeted By Good Sized
Crowds At Meetings To-
day.
Especial to the Herald.)

I4akota, N. D., June 23.-"If I am
running for governor and il Governor
Frazier is lying and you can prove it,
he ought to be sport enough to admit
it and quit"
Attorney General William Langer
thus challenged Frazier and rownleyy
and followers of Townleyism at
Michigan City yesterday afternoon in
his address to more than 500 Nelson
county farmers in the territory where
Townley is following a day later by
airplanc. He challenged the voters to
find out which is lying and vote ac-
cordingly. His first defiance came
uurlng his exposition of the facts iii
the Scandinavian American bank
case. LANCER said:
'Once in while some man comes
to me and says he doesn't believe this
report on the condition Of the bank is
genuine. Some times men say I am
lying. Up at Denton four days ago
Governor Frazier said 1 lied. 1 will
make. this proposition. Any ohe of
you can come with me to Justices
Grace, Bronson or Robinson, and If
they tell you that this report on the
condition of the, Scandinavian Ameri-
can bank is not genuine, 1 will quit
running for governor"
However" LANCER continued, III
they say the report is genuine, you
get Frazier to quit"
Frazier has said lied when I said
! that the State Bank had loaned $25.-
900 to John Baers wife's uncle-E,
| ]. Mcmahon, l will take any of yon
people out to Golden Valley county.
and If the records in the register Of
! deeds office do not show 1 am telling
the truth, will quit running for gov
ernor. That isha fair proposition" he
said and the crowd i .applauded it's ap-
fproyal:s.,s, ~ - =. s-.s
ltriumverate. In this connection, he
said:. =
| "It is autocracy dominated by
three men that I am fighting and not
the farmer nor the farmers program.
There isn't man among you who
can show in the original program
anything about taking the schools
ing them over to a bunch of Socialists.
I am going to keep on fighting until
have the schools back where they
belong and our business affairs and
other state offices are run by real
Republicans or Democrats, at least
not Socialists"
! The meeting at Michigan City al
4:so was held out OF doors. From
Michigan City, Attorney General
LANCER and his party went to Tolna,
Nelson county, which is strongly
+, Townleyistic in it's sentiments.
I Steen Nelson of Finley and H. T.
Quanbeck, candidate for insurance
commissioner. both addressed the
meeting. Nelson, in his characteris-
tic way, made a strong appeal to the
audience "to get back Of the man
who will lead you back to sane gov
