The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1920-09-16

us, they caught US red-handed in
the recent swindle of the Grain Gamb-
lers, so we must fake up some more
lies to becloud the ISSUE"
GAIL right, Mister Bunty," replies
the office-boy pupil. "For a consider
alton I am yours to do with a. you
please. If the mazlma prospects are
promising enough, I'll perform any
mercenary task that you assign me,
even down to licking your boots"
Forthwith the understudy in the
crudest and clumsiest fashion imagin-
able begins singing mud at the COM
mon people of North Dakota. Nothing
is too low for him. He will charge
Nonpartisan League farmers with i'm
morality, malign and defame their
wives and daughters or resort to any
dirty, contemplate methods in order
to befuddle the public mind.
So much for BUNTY, his office-boy
pupil and how the strings are pulled!
Understanding the sinister, screened
and mercenary motives that animate
practically all political editorials, ap-
pearing in the Foolem, you al read
ily comprehend the reason why this
journalistic Street Walker, this sewer
of lies, filth, Misrepresentation and
half-truths, has specialized at the
trade of lying about William Lsmke.
When the Foolem published an edi-
torial in it's issue of September Z un-
der the title of "A One Man Machine"
making the utterly false statement
that William Lemke is manager of
the N%onpartisan League, Bunty- the
Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce
pulled the strings; when the Foolem
lyingly declared in the same editorial
that Mr.. Lemke is publisher Of the
Courier-News Bunty again pulled the
strings. An examination of the list Of
Courier-News owners will reveal that
Mr.. Lemke just holds four shares OF
stock.
Bunty-ths Minneapolis chamber Of
Commentaries Mr.. Lemke worse
than poison, because he has stood Ill
the Rock of Gibraltar against the
grain gamblers of the Twin Cities
thwarting their schemes for sWindllng
labor and the farmers
Bunty has a bitter, lifelong grudge
against Mr.. Lemke, OF account Of the
fact that he successfully defended
the Nonpartisan League program IN
the United States Supreme court
when l. v. A. taxpayers sought to
have the farmer-labor laws nulllfled.
Bunty abhors Mr.. Lemke for the
further reason that he rendered futile
the efforts of Dockage Buster Jefte
O'Connor, present l. v. A. candidate
for governor, to smash the State
Grain Grading and Dockage Act. MI:
Lernke, it will be recalled, defended
the Grain Grading Law in the Federal
Courts when the Embden Elevator
company retained Dockage Buster
O'Connor, as its attorney, attempting
TO destroy it.
Bunty-the Minneapolis Chamber OF
Commerce-is afraid Of Mr.. Lemke,
becsuse it is the way Of Big Business
to fear any able nan who will not
crook his Tree to it. Z
% If he is elected encouragement Of
| North Dakota, Mr.. Lemke will do all
within his power TO block any new
scheme Bunty may conceive for plum
dering the farmers and worlAng--aen
of this state.
Every time the Fargo Foolem pub.
fishes some new lie, or cock-and-puli
story about Mr.. Lemke, you can SAFE
ly wager your bottom dollar that Bun
tv-the Minneapolis Chamber Of Com
merce-is pulling the strings.
Bunty dominates the Fargo Fooiem
from printers devil, to the ~office-ooy
who writes the editorials.
Let the Foolems' lies in n 9
out the other, because Bunty pulls
tha strings and Rockwell merely
pounds the typewriter keys.
