CAPITAL NEWS NOTES

Ask Ladies' Aid Society "What is
the original bread recipe?" and you'll
start just the same kind Of an argu-
ment now before the state.
LANCER in his published platform
announces that he is candidate for
governor advocating the same things
which, he advocated three years ago.
He announces that he stands for the
original league program. Then ne
insists that the original league pro-
gram consisted merely Of securing
better marketing conditions through
establishment of state owned mills
and elevators Established on a con-
servative experimental basis without
rash expenditures and rural credit
banks. There were none Of the rad
ical Townley measures in the original
farmers program, he AYERS.
Nestos in his published statement
doesn't believe LANCER can be Repub-
lican candidate on the socialistic plat
form of the league at the time of the
last campaign. LANCER says he isn't
and refers to the original program.
Somebody has slipped up. Lam
gers platform, recently published, is
identical with the platform adopted
at the I. V. A. convention in Grand
Forks last February with the excep-
tion of irrigation for western Dakota
counties, and few other such addi-
tions. Nestos in his published pMt-
form stands TO rural credit banks and
terminal elevators. So did the I.
V. A. So does LANCER.
The army title for a "meal" was
'mess,". yet the average dougha "
called it 'grub" or "chow;" yes under
any name it was food and aatab!e.
Ask the regular Nonpartisan Town
ley Lacquer what was the original
farmers program and ninety .nine
times out Of hundred he wal hur: am

be*ome so stepped with the Townley
style of inyective.
The original leageu program "rer-
n:ral mills and elevators and rural
redit banks, and that's all" says Lam
ger.
So says Nestos, too; 80 said the I !.
v. A. convention; so aayssthe com
mittee Of 81 and so will say the CON
ventions at Minot May IL, I3.

Well, what was the original far

James R. Waters, manager Of the
Townley Bank of North Dakota, has
rendered his resignation to tie COVER

personal business affairs-the United

Three county officials endorsed by
