Deliberate Attempt AT coer-
cion Rouses Storm Of In
dignation, And Solidi6es
Opposition To Nonpartisan
Boss.

&C. Townley's open threats to boy
his hand-p.ckcd candidates in the
coming election, has aroused a storm
of indignation throughout the state.
Many men who were formerly luke
warm in their opposition to the Nom
partisan Leagu> have been aroused by
this fragrant attempt at coercion, and
have entered the fight heart and soul.
1t is realized that these threats
have been called forth by the reali2a-
ton on the part of the league car
hat only desperate remedies can
stall off the defeat which is o star
ing him in the face, as he himself has
admitted in several of his addresses.
The fact it that the whirlwind cam
paign which has been put up by J.%F.
#. O'Connor, and the enthusiastic
support which he is winning wherever
he appears, took the league leaders
totally by surprise.
FShile a few weeks g they were
expecting a comparatively easy VIC
tory. they now realize that iey are
fighting in the last ditch in a desper-
ate effort to a v their political lives.
AS a result. they are using any and
all weapons which comes to their
hands.
This was plainly indicated in a re-
cent editorial in the Fargo Townley
organ, which was filled with insinua-
tions regarding the private life OF a
union labor man who had ventured to
sign a request to Mr.. Townley to meet
Attorney General LANCER in debate.

rear it and drive down the road past
the house to get a clearer view of the
attractive scene.
The house would find itself at
home in the best residence section of
any city in the state. 1t is modern
in every particular, with electric
lights and labor-saving devices, a hot
water plant for heating. and a. COM
plete sewage system. The interior Is
handsomely finished, and there are
hardwood floors throughout. It is a
home designed for both beauty and
comfort.
4 Unlike most farmers. Mr.. Engebret-
4on has provided better for the
housing of his family than for the
stabling Of his stock. Although his
barn Is modern and Of a good size.
he plans to enlarge it, the scarcity of
carpenters n the high s Of ma
terials having delayed him. Mr.,
Engebretson has some fine cattle, good
grade Shorthorns of the milking
strain, some of them descended from
the Shorthorn sire brought to this
country from France by James j
Hill.
Natural artesian wells supply both
the house and the barn with running
water. and each building has it's owr
complete drainage system.
Mr.. E~ngebretson is n of Trail
county's pioneer settlers. He is ar
experienced farmer who knows land,
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1920-10-25

Today they are worth $500. This land
lis just as good al that and it will not
be long until it is bringing $500 per
acre and better. I have refused $3.50
per acre for this farm of $50 acres.
""Of course the value of the land
depends on a number of things. it's
location, its water supply, the type Of
buildings on the place, and the care
the land has had; We have rich,
black, loamy. soil around here. and it
is In my estimation some. of the best
soil in the state. In order to keep it
IN the best of condition we need to
use great care in the handling OF 1t.
Particular attention must be. given to
the rotation Of crops. Flowing must
be done right and at the right time.
More cattle on the farms would in
rease the land values. ,
Il have been experimenting in the
raising of winter y and like it very
much, 1t was my best crop this year.
1t gave me a yield Of thirty bushels

, over the other crops in getting an
! early start in the spring. 1t was past
the dangerous stage before the dry
weather. I was SO pleased with the
way it. turned out that l have seeded
$50 acres to rye for next season"
Mr.. and Mrs. Engebretson have two
sons and two daughters. The elder

The Socialists and the Schools

first introduced It made no provision
for the state superintendent being a
member Of the board. There was
great opposition to this bill, especially
from those engaged in education all
over the state. When the league lead
ers realized that this bill could not
pass it was changed so that the board
Of administration could consist Of five
members, three members to be ap-
pointed by the governor and two x
officio membership Commissioner OF
labor and agriculture and the state
superintendent of schools. This bill
was passed the last day Of the session.
This bill was next referred to the
people at the election held in June.
Thessoctalist agitators upheld it and
declared that no powers would be
taken from the state superintendent.
The majority of the people believed
! the agitators and the referendum was
lost and Senate Bill No. 1874 went into
effect July, 1919. When this bill be-
pointed Geo. A. Totten. Robt. Muir
and P. NJ. Casey members o. the
board. Tho two ex-officio members
were John Hagan, secretary of agri-
culture and labor, and Miss Minnie j..
Nelson, state superintendent Of pub
lie instruction. The three appointed
members and Mr.. Hagan are league
members. Geo. A.. Totten was made
president of the board. Mr.. Totten as
president OF the board OF administra-

"Education" Commission.
One Of the first acts Of this new
board was to create the Office OF "ex-
pert educational advisor to the board
and general school inspector" They
I appointed NC. Macdonald, the de-
feated Nonpartisan league candidate
for state superintendent, to this new
position at the same salary as he had
had as. state superintendent. The
board of administration bill also pro-
vided that the board of administra-
ton should appoint: an educational
consist OF i've members, one being the
state superintendent as ex-oficic
member and chairman. The board
appointed four supporters Of the Non.
partisan league and friends of N. c
