The warning by Governor
Frazier against election law vio-
lators, issued to bolster up
propaganda started by Townley
managers and league organs,
was a joke to anti i-Townley lead
ers in Burleigh county, who
have made plans to guard
against exploitation of the bal
lot by league men.
The statement Of the Republican
headquarters shows that only $52,-
1850 was available for the campaign
expenses of the anti-Townley organi-
Zation. 1t shows the falsity of the
charge that Wall street has poured
million dollars into the campaign. h..
How much has been spent from
the millions of dollars at ToWnley's
command?" the Republican workers
ask
The failure of the league meetings
at Mandan Friday and Saturday and
at Bismarck Saturday, with Townley
as the star attraction. to attract as
large crowds as in previous years, has
brought fresh confidence to the Re-
publican workers. Reports from all
sections of the state showing the fall
ing off in league meetings and the big
attendance at LANCER meetings has
spurred the workers on to the victory
that appears assured with a fair
election. ~s
Lanqer in BurIeigh
Attorney General LANCER entered
Burleigh county to-day. He speaks at
Wilton tonight at big meeting. Sen
ator A. J. Gronna speaks in Bismarck
tomorrow night at the Auditorium,
and preparations are being made for
a big meeting. General LANCER will
finish his campaign in his home city
of Mandan Tuesday night, where the
league effort to besmirch his name
failed.
The statement of L. l.. Twichell
executive secretary of the Republican
headquarters, showing the amount of
contribution to the antiTOwnley fund
and that every dollar was contributed
by citizens of North Dakota, is as
follows:
"The Courier-News, the Townley
Fargo Megaphone, this morning under
heading extending across the entire
front page, big Campaign Fund to
Fight Farmer Labor Ticket" adds its
daily chapter to the continued cam
paign of deceit whereby Townley has
been able to fool thousands Of we'll
meaning farmers and laborers in
North Dakota into the belief that it
is "Big Business" which is fighting
socialism in North Dakota.
"The Courier-News article. wherein
it charges that million dollar cam
paign fund has been raised, or has
been attempted to be raised, to fight
the socialist bodies in North Dakota
wherein it states that the counties
have been assessed on an average OF
$4,000 each. when it states that this
mythical $4,000 assessment has been
raised to $4,000 for each county
when it stated that the fund raised in
North Dakota has been augmented by
contributions of corporations and 9TH
ers outside of the state. deliberately
and knowingly attempts to deceive
the farmer and laborer in North Da-
kota.
"The matter of the joint budget for
the campaign to be made in the prim
aries against socialism in North Da
kota, is one of public knowledge, as
is the apportionment made to the
several counties in the state, from
which counties every dollar contri
buted to this joint campaign fund. is
received. The joint budget as made
up and as sent out through the state
to those interested in this campaign
called for the expenditure of Sl33.95o
such fund. if received. to be expended
by the anti-Socialist Republican state
Central committee. the Democratic
State Central committee and the In
dependent Voters association, each Of
such organizations handling various
features of the campaign. The ap
portionment made to cover the cam
paign fund and as allotted to the sev
eral counties in the state aggregated
