THE WEEKLY 7fMES-RECOR
these bonds are stated the conditions
under which the government borrow
ed the money from you. Take for in
stance bond of the Third Liberty
Loan, it states that on April 18th and
October 18th of each year until ma
turity, you will receive interest on the
amount you paid for the bond. Other
issues of these bonds bear other rates
of interest and other maturity dates
all of which are clearly stated on the
bond. Now, if you keep your bond
until the date when the government
pays you in full for it, you need not
worry if, in the meantime, the price
is low one day and high the next
Neither you nor Uncle Sam are losing
and both of you are living up to your
agreement On the other hand, if you
sell your Liberty Bond now, you will
find that the man you sell it to will
not give you dollar for every dollar
you paid for it. The price has been
brought down because so many peo-
pie are Offering to sell their bonds
Take any other market and flood it
with some commodity and what is the
result? The price Immediately drops
but if everyone were clamorlng for
Liberty Bonds, the price would jump
far above par. Short sighted people
are dumping their bonds on the mar
ket and wise one are buying them
Hold onto your bonds, it is as safe as
the United States government itself.
Much credit must be given to the
II, V. A. organization for the splendid
work done in the past towards hight
ing Townleyism, and much OF the
great work done has been due to the
interchangeable work of Theo. &. Nelson
secretary of the organization, and to
Matt johnson, editor of the lndepen-
dent. This weekly paper has been a
tower Of strength in time of need, and
the fellows who have stood by when
the hour was the darkest and brought
the ship of independence safely thru
The rocks and shoals of apparent dis
aster into the harbor of practically
victory, deserve much praise. 1t they
have had personal ambitions as to
candidates other than expressed IN the
Minot convention, they have swallow
ed their disappointment gracefully
and are still at the helm keeping the
II. V. A. floating toward ultimate VIC
tory. We appreciate their work as
we'll as the work of all those who have
allied themselves in the l. '. A. and
helped along the good work. There
is no praise too loud for the whole
bunch of good fellows and workers
that constitute that organization and
they are showing their American
spirit by accepting the verdict of Mi
not and going ahead to carry out the
wishes of that big convention. More
power to them.
The editor is back from the Minot
convention we'll pleased with the work
done and the splendid ticket nominal
ed. Like all conventions Of a politi-
cal nature there were of course many
who favored this or that particular
candidate for governor and as it ma
tural sparring for advantage was the
order Of the day. The main fight was
on the governorship and the LANCER
forces had large majority and sue
ceeded in nominating the fighting at
torney general with plenty of votes
to spare. Mr.. Nestos, the opposing
candidate, moving, through his dele
gates that the nomination of Mr. Lam
ger be made unanimous. From that
time OH it was great, harmonious
gathering Of earnest men striving to
build ticket to present to the voters
that would meet with their approval
and we think such a ticket has been
nominated or endorsed. There are
! three or four ex-service men on 1t,
some farmers, several business men.
, It looks to US like a winner. Hon.
| Alfred Steels, of Jamestown, was the
permanent chairman Of the conven-
ton, and a fairer presiding officer
never welded the gavel. T. S. Henry,
Of this city, was the secretary of the
convention. Some rousing speeches
were made. Miss Nelson was given
one of the greatest ovations ever CIV
en- candidate in a convention, the
crowds lin the galleries joining in the
big noise of approval. She was not
present to witness this tribute to her.
! Comfortable opposition developed
against Congressman George NJ.
Young but he was nominated. Mr..
Davis, of Sheridan county, was his
opponent. He is clever and splen-
did gentleman. 1t is a disappoint-
ment to the opposition Of this con-
vention, because the ticket nominated
| is a strong one. we'll balanced and dis
tributed, and moreover everybody went
away determined to put it overland
they will.
Tom Pendray, of jamestown, SEN
ator from that district, one of the
| Townley rubber stamps, has been en-
I dorsed for congress by the nonpar-
tisan league to run against Gearge
NJ. Young. Mr.. Young should breathe
sigh of profound satisfaction at this
good fortune that has befallen him.
Pendray should be easy to beat. He
IS one of the rubber stamps that does
exactly as Townley tells him to do.
He is SO much in love with free love
socialism and the suppressing of the
public newspaper that he does any
thing and everything that he is told
