GOMPERS AFTER LEAGUERS.

Denver, Colo, April 24.-Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, criticised the
Workers Nonpartisan league political
movement in Colorado in a letter re-
ceived by John j. fisherman, secre,
tary of the Puebla branch of tha
league, made public today.
The labor leader took the local
leader to task for furthering move
ment, which he said, bid fair to split
labor's ranks in the presidential cam
paign.
What Does 1t Mean?
"Does this mean the soviet idea ?"
the letter asks in regard to plank in
the league plaform declaring the pur-
pose "is taking control of the law
making and administrative power of
Colorado and administering that in
TIE interests of the heretofore always
neglected workingmen and women."
The Workers Nonpartisan league
will hold state convention, May 1 and
2. Labor federation leaders have an>
nounced they will attempt to thwart
any effort to put third party in the
field.

LEAGUE PAPER HITS A SNAG
Office Engine Refuses to Stand for
Line of Cuff Carried, and Balks
For Week.

The Emmons County Free Press, To-
cal nonpartisan league organ, nearly
failed to see the light of day last week.
After being at least one day late for
the past two months, last week almost
went by without peep from the local
exponent of Townley democracy.
While the paper purports to be pub
lished Wednesday, April 21st, as in
dicated in its date-line, publication
of the same actually became a fact on
the afternoon of Saturday, April oath.
People living outside of Linton re-
ceived their copies anywhere from
Monday to Wednesday of the week
following.
There may be some curiosity as to
why the public was forced to wait
such long time for the thrillers that
they look forward to from week to
week. We are told that the greater
share of the delay was caused by the
engine on duty at the Free Press Of
flee refusing to operate. Evidently
that engine isn't as good Lacquer as
| h"ss of the shebang, and refused to
stand for the line of stuff that had
been prepared for the editor to pub
lsh as a purported report of the anti
Townley convention held in Linton the
week before. In fact, we are told that
when the first engine balked on the
convention story, another engine was
harnessed up, and it refused to pull
such load. Numerous and sundry
engine doctors were called in consulta-
ton, and all efforts seemed to be un-
availing.
Be that as it may, the Free Press
did finally get out. We are at loss
to say whether the surprise was caus-
ed by the usual delay, or by the fact
that it got out at all.
| In any case. the people Of the county
may at last have a chance to see the
report of the convention as distored
through the optics of the gentleman
who has been "some shakes" for many
monhs in county politics in Emmons
county. The article does not carry
any special credit, so we must assume
that the aforesaid gentleman is an
accredited reporter for the local league
newspaper.
In conclusion, we wish to say that.
Bro. Stewart has our heartfelt SYM
',athy, not alone because of the me-
chanical troubles involved, but be-.
cause the conditions are such that he.
is forced to answer for such a report
rs the one carried purporting to cover
the anti-Townley convention.

TO RECALL LEAGUE SENATOR

Wishek News: Petitions are being
circulated in Mcintosh and Logan
counties asking for the recall of SEN
ator JOHN Weber, of Wishek.
Under constitutional amendment
which was adopted by the voters at
the election held last month, the quail
flied electors of the state or of any
county, or of any congressional, judi
cial or legislative district may petit
tion for the recall of any elective,
congressional, state, county, judicial
or legislative officer by filing a peti-
tion, demanding the recall of said Of
icer. Such petition shall be signed
oy at least thirt yper cent of the
qualified electors who voted at the pre-
>seding election for the office of gov
arnor of the. state. After the petition
IS filed there shall be called an elec-
tion which shall be held not less thar
forty or more than forty-ive days
from the filing Of the petition. AT
the election the name of the officer
who it is desired shall be recalled
and also the names of other candidates
will appear on the ballot and the can
lidate receiving the highest numbe:
If votes shall hold the office until the
term expires. In l,ase the old
'fficer is again elected no recall elec.
lion. shall be held during the time he
continues in office.
This move was decided on several
weeks ago when several hundred far
ners met here to endorse candidates
for: the legislature and resolutions
were adopted asking Senator Weber tc
resign. Since he has failed to comply
with the requests of the voters the
next best step is being taken and pc
titions are being circulated for his re.
call.
Mcintosh county is the first in the
state to take advantage of the recall
amendment which. was enacted by the
nonpartisan legislature.
Editors note:
Logan and Mcintosh. may be the
first to recall their senator under the
new recall law, but they will not be
the last. Indications are that several
eague hold-ovsr senators will be Civ.
IN the same treatment.
Senator Ward, of Emmons and Kid.
der, is quite likely to be among those
hcld-over league senators to test out
the new recall law.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The Record herewith prints the call
for another anti -Townley meeting to
be held in Linton, Wednesday, May
9Th, at 2 p. m. This is made neces-
sary by the fact that parties calling
the convention at Minot have ruled
that delegates from the various coun-
ties must be chosen on the same date.
The meeting which has been called
by Chairman Allen will be mass con.
vention. All anti-Townley men are
invited to attend, each voter attending
to have one vote in choosing four del.
egates to the Minot convention.
The delegates already elected at the
Meeting in Linton, April 18th, might
possibly be seated without any further
meeting, bu, in view of the fact that
the convention at Minot may be a
pretty warm affair, and technicalities
might be raised to unseat delegates, it
has been deemed best to call this Sec
ond mass convention May 5th. This
is being done to eliminate the possi-
bility of Emmons county being refused
representation in that meeting.
All those republican anti-Townley-
ties who can do so witnous material
Inconvenience are requested to be
present at the court house on May 5th,
at. 2 p. m. The official call follows:
An anti -Townley, anti-Socialist
Mass Republican County Convention
for Emmons county, for the purpose
Of electing delegates to the anti Town.

Convention to be held at Minot, N.
D., May 18th and 18th, 1920, is here
by called to convene at 2 o'clock, May
5th, at the Court House in the city
Of Linton, in said county. At such
convention four delegates will be elect
ed to represent said county at such
state convention.

publican electors, only, shall partic-
ipate in such convention.
Dated this oath day of April, 1920. /.
