VICTORY TICKET SKETCH
For Supreme Court Judge, A. M. Christianson

Would you rather vote for a judge
who says, "My platform is my oath of
office" and who doesn't take part in
an acrimonious campaign because he
believes that no Judge should engage
in campaign when he is apt to be
called upon to decide issues growing
out of the campaign, or candidate
for judge who takes the stump and
lets loose the most violent kind of po-
litical attacks?
If you choose the former-as all cit
liens who want to see our courts free
from outside influence must do-then
you will vote for Judge A. M. Chris.
tianson, chief justice of the North Da-
kota supreme court, on June 80.
Judge Christianson wished to retire
from the bench. 1t was only after
friends prevailed upon him that he an
nounced after the campaign was we'll
under way that he would stand for re-
nomination. And his platform is his
cath of office.
He was not endorsed by the Minot
convention because he had not con-
sented to be candidate at that time.
Judges. too, are on a nOn-political bal
lot He is at his work every day. and
not out campaigning. He has not So
licited vote. He does not know that
this sketch of him is written.

l ne speaker received the undivided
attention of the large audience for
more than two hours.
ToWney's SeIf.Perpetuation
Mr.. LANCER scored the most telling
hits when he demonstrated to the
audience how Townley had perfected
for himself and the other members
of the triumvirate a method of SELF
perpetuation in office, thereby, remov-
ing the management of the league
from the control of the farmers.
Linking this to the Fargo Bank
scandal, in which the state daposita:y
sor public funds, the Bank of North
Dakota was heavily involved Mr..
LANCER brought forceful home to his
hearers the dangers inherent in "pri-
yate ownership Of public officials rs
oracticed under the Townley system
If government. ToWnley's idea of
democracy is self-perpetuatiny
triumvirate in charge Of the league
20 exercise full authority over state
officials, elected by the people, but
responsible only to TOwnley, Lemke
and Wood he said.
The redistribution of public funds,
deposited with the Bank of North
Dakota and their use for rediscohnt-
,ng notes, secured by postdatei
checks and other collateral of doubt
full value, is evidently causing the
league triumvirate considerable trou-
Die, he said There is evidence of
wide spread dissatisfaction with this
system. When dealing with this SUD-
ject, Mr.. LANCER was interrupted by
Mr.. George Graham, who from his
own experience, could testify that Of
ficials of politiral subdivisions are
threatened with criminal prosecution
if they do not promptly comply with
calls for money issued by the Bank
of North Dakota.
Reads the Proof
The letters exchanged between
the Scandinavian American bank Of
Fargo, Mr. Townley and the state
bank officials were read by Mr.. Ian
ger and gave the audience a thorough
understanding of the why's and where
fores of Townley's banking system.
The audience gave evidence that it
did not relish this particular brand
of Czarism, which, under penalty Of
Imprisonment, forces political subdi-
visions to place all funds outside the
district where they may be misused
to take up postdated checks.

THIRTEEN OUT

Primary Being Held Today is
Cl0uded by Large Number of
Candidates in Field
TOWNLEYISM IN CONFLICT

st. Paul, June Minnesota il;
balloting in it's first serious conflict
with socialism as eXpounded by
ToWnley and his followers. The Re-
publican ballot contains six names
for governor. J. A. O. Preus, state
auditor, is the anti-Townley Republi-
can choice named at mass conven-
ton. He is opposed by Henry Ship.
stead of Glencoe, a dentist, Townley's
candidate for chief executive of the
state.
Other aspirants for the Republican
nomination who refused to abide Dy
the anti-Townley republican elimina
tion convention are: Frankson, Iver
son, Keefe and Ellsworth. ~
Opposition Divided
This gives Mr. Townley a distinct
advantage in the Minnesota primar
les. The opposition is divided among
five candidates all of whom with the
exception of Keefe have a following
in the republican party. Frankson
for instance is lieutenant governor.
,Iverson is a former state auditor and
Ellsworth is a congressman. Keefe
is practically unknown but is serving
the league cause by the use of his,
name to catch votes that would go
otherwise to Preus.
Townley has finished vigorous
campaign for his ticket by aeroplane
and the horde Of socialist carpet bag
gers gathered from the socialist and
communistic centers of the nation are
now headed for North Dakota to put
in nine days of intensive campaigning
in the hopes of retaining control of
the North Dakota administration.

RI0TING AGAIN
BRINGS DEATH
IN IRISH TOWN
Mob Openly Fires on Troops in
Londonderry and Rioting is
Still in Progress
AND SCHOOLS CLOSE
Dock Workers Go on Strike De-
claring They Will Not Work
Until Peace is Restored
SHOPS. AND SCHOOLS CLOSE

London, June 21.-Civil war
conditions prevail in Londen-
derry and the authorities are
powerless it is declared in an
exchange dispatch from Lon
donderry this afternoon.
Several more persons were
killed in this mornings fighting.
The firing is being maintain
ed with desperate intensity.
Business is suspended and the
postmen are declining to de-
liver mail. When the troops
got the fighting stopped in one
section, the dispatch adds, firing
breaks out in another.
Men Thrown in River
From two to five o'clock this
morning there was intermittent
firing in many parts of the
town. Between five and seven
o'clock three unionists were
shot, one Of whom was thrown
into the river. Thereupon, a
large body of unionists charged
down Carlisle street, firing vol
ley after volley toward the ma
tionalist stronghold in Bridge
street. The Sim Feiners re-
turned the fire. The two sides
maneuvered, keeping up a fusil-
lade of revolver and pistol shots.
Streets Deserted
Troops with an armored car
broke up the fighting tempor-
arily at 10 o'clock this morning.
Shops and schools were closed
and many houses were barricad-
ed. The streets were deserted
by all except those fighting or
protecting vantage points. The
dock workers struck, declaring
they would not handle freight
until peace had been restored.
The rioting, which started at 2
O'Clock this morning after the
troops had been withdrawn, con-
tinued all day. Reports of 'addi-
tional casualties were received
but travel was so dangerous on
the streets that it was impossi-
bic to obtain accurate informa-
tion.
John Gallagher, one of the men
wounded in yesterdays fighting be-
tween unionists and nationalists, died
today, bringing the number of deaths
for the present outbreak of part
strike up to 6.

SPEAKER FLAYS NON
PARTISAN LEAGUE
CONTINUED from Page One.]

Last night the picture King Arth-
urls Court or 1.-The Search for the
Holy Kale" featuring Max Fgman as
A. C.. Townley, was shown. 1t dealt
with the origin and purpose OF the
Non-partisan League leaders and
clearly showed that Townley was ac-
tuated by mercenary motives in
banding the farpers of North d.
kota together. =
In delwtng into 1.-THE history Of
Towley and his associates, the speak
er made the startling disclosure that
in this whole farmer movement, only
one Of the officials in the league is
genuine bona fide farmer, but even
he is a socialist. That man Is F. B.
Wood, Of Deering, North Dakota,
vice-president of Townley's first or
ganization. AS opposed to him, the
leaders whom Townley has gathered
about him are all professional poll
,tical job hunters, every one of them
being radical socialists. There Is A.
E. Bowen, candidate for the National
Congress from Minnesota on the non
partisan league ticket, who was the
socialist candidate for Governor in
North Dakota some years ago. Ar
thur LeSeuer, the I. w. w. attorney,
who has been the chief legal advisor
of Townley in the past Henry Teig-
en-, private secretary and confidential
advisor to Townley in Minneapolis
Headquarters. was former editor OF
the socialist Iconoclast. Joseph Gill
bert in charge of organization work
at headquarters, was an active soci-
dist in the east before coming here.
William Lemke, Fargo attorney, Is
member of Townley's executive
committee and man of radical
ideas. J. c. Duncan, former social
list mayor Of Butte, Montana, is In
charge of organization work in South
Dakota. There are hosts of others.

Cultivated CheStnuts.

Southern Californians are wondering
whether the growing Of the sweet
chestnut is not destined to be one OF
the coming industries Of the state. The
appearance of a fine row Of chestnut
trees on the outskirts of the city OF
Santa Ana, in Orange county, Call
fornia, suggested to a recent eastern
visitor the fact that the chestnut az
a future crop for California may rival
before many years the enormous wal
nut output.

Now that the inventory has been

the money in cotton.
