a share Of stock in any bank in the
world. He also knows that they did
not receive or take from any person
or from any bank, directly or indir-
ectly, any profit from any bank deal
or transaction and that they have
never been connected with any bank
deal in North Dakota or in any other
part Of the world.
He must be aware that of all things
they were never connected as stock
holder, cashier or director with any
bank that failed. 1t was, therefore,
impossible for them to withdraw from
such a bank on the eve of the crash.
Since LANCER has seen fit to indulge
in personalities, can he say as much?
In fact, it would be fitting for him
to discuss the failure of the First Ma
tional' Bank of Casselton. There are
voters who seek light on the connec-
ton Of the LANCER family with the
failure. They hold that while it may
have been legal for them to withdraw
from the bank before the crash and
thus save their stock, the morality Of
the withdrawal is decidedly question
able. These voters are especially
anxious to know whether Mr.. LANCER
holds that it was morally right for
his family to save their W fortune
and their friends who we're
stockholders and depositors.
In fact, Bill might throw a little
limelight on the re-organized First
National Bank Of Casselton, with
which he was formerly closely asso-
ciated. Many contend that he is still
closely connected with it. Certainly
his brother-in-law, M. j. Ford is still
a vice-president. 1t is unfortunate
that the LANCER spotlight was not
playing OF this bank on November 20,
1919. For that day a young man
named Paul Hemm, who was employ
ed as a farm hand near Davenport at
a salary of $4,000 a month, came to
the bank of Langer's brother-in-law
to arrange to send some money to
his parents who were starving in Ger
many. Out of his meager salary he
had, with the greatest economy, saved
$125.O0.. He explained to the banker
that he wished to send this money for
the relief of his famine stricken rel
atives. Had Langer's spotlight been
working he would have shown that
this banker charged the poor lad be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 to send the
money to Europe. In short, the lad
paid $125.O0 and his relatives re-
ceived the equivalent of between $61
and $66. Had the spotlight been
working a few weeks later it would
have shown his brother-in-law's bank
refunding $4,000 to young Hemm
when his attorney, William Lemke,
threatened to sue them.
Sad to relate, Langer's devotion to
the interests of the public in bank
matters did not extend to cases like
that of Paul Hemm, a young foreign
er. Nor did it extend to the stock
holders of the Casselton bank. He
advised his father before the crash
came but he did not feel obliged to
warn the other stockholders.
Bill is strangely silent about Cassel-
ton. He knows that he lies when he
endeavors to implicate Townley and
Lemke in the Valley City case. Yet
he does not hesitate to repeat these
nasty charges along with a number
of other equally foul insinuations.
Apparently there is not limit to his
capacity for Misrepresentation.

unavoidable conflict that the one is
given supremacy over the other. If

the duty of administrative officers and
