rainbow chasers have been out of luck
around Langdon this summer. 1t has

nothing doing in the hunt for the

that we have been minus the bright

many a horny handed tiller of the

the gathering of rain clouds to save
their withered and drying up crops

SOME ASTOUNDING FIGURES

Figures just announced by the
Census Bureau for Nelson county show
that the number of farms operated
by tenants have increased 54.4 per
cent during the past ten years while
agricultural enterprises conducted by
owners have decreased 1917 per cent
Complete statistics at hand Indicate
that the condition found in Nelson
county as regards tenants and land
lords will obtain all over North OAK
ota and bordering states.
What is the basic cause for this
deplorable situation? And not reliev-

question. AS graft, special privilege

If any doubts that "Slippery''

date for governor, has it in for the
farmers and would really like to
restore the old gang system, placing
them at the complete mercy of the
Twin City milling and flour dukes,
all he or she has to do is tabulate
the number of farmer-labor laws
JET voted against during the 1919
session IF the state assembly. Fol.
lowing are some of the essential
measures upon which he is recorded
as voting nay:
House Bill 17-Creating the In
dustrial Commission. This is the
most important piece of labor legis.
lation enacted in North Dakota since
it was organized as a territory.
House Bill 18-Creating the Bank
of North Dakota and giving farmers
and laboring men an opportunity to
engage in the banking business
themselves.
House Bill 49-Providing for the
Bank Bonds. Practically the whole
program hinged upon the passage of
this bill yet JET O'Connor VOTED
AGAINST 1T.
Senate Bill l3O-Providing, for
farm loans, a law that has since
proven of wonderful benefit to Flick
ertail farmers.
House Bill l23-Creating the
office of Commissioner of Immigras
ton, AS a result of the passage of
this act thousands of immigrants
have already been attracted to the
state, many of them purchasing
farms.

type for that matter) "Slippery''
JET O'Connor boasted during the
1919 session that he was against

the purpose of publishing a weekly
and daily newspaper at Bismarck with
Waters and Brinton as promoters. In
detail, braZenly repeating the false
hood that the Waters letter, withdraw

the Courier-News April s, 1920, was
not written by the former bank man

Replying to this charge, the Fargo
newspaper asks, Does Mi. Waters or

Now for the Motive.
In its expose Of the duplicity, dis
loyalty and %chicanery of these former
Leaguers the Courier-News is fearless
and thorough-going. In addition to
publishing this mass of conclusive
proof, it also printed q lengthy letter
written to Governor Frazier by Brin-
ton on May Il, 1920. The letter de-
manded that William Lemke withdraw
as a candidate for attorney general.
T.. w. Cathro's resignation as manager
of the Bank of North Dakota was also
ordered. This communication alone
consisted of some 5000 or 5000 words.

other letters to state officials and Off

At last the Brinton-Waters bubble
has bursted, much to the relief of
thousands of North Dakota Nonparti-
san Leaguers who have been annoyed
and exasperated by the boy-like tao
tics Of this money-struck pair ever
since they wOrmed their way into the
League. Neither J. W. B%rinton, formerly
connected with the League in vari-
GUS capacities, nor ]. r. Waters, eX-
manager Of the Bank of North Dakota,
are now associated with, or attached
to the Nonpartisan organization in any
way, shape or form, and farmers are
hereby notified to keep d weather-eye
open for these Gold Dust Twins.
To the Courier-News of Fargo, Off
cial daily publication of the League, is
due the credit for placing Brinton and
Waters in a pretty pickle as a result
of their circulation of Il false report
to the effect thar the resignation of
Waters as manager of the Bank Of
North Dakota was forged. With the
aid OF Il Gamers this newspaper repro
duced a photograph of Mr.. Waters
letter of withdrawal from the bank in
it's issue Friday morning. August 10.
For purposes Of comparison the paper
also published Il fac smile of his res
ignation which was given to the public
on the signature bulletin of the Bank
of North Dakota.
The assembling Of these damaging
facts proves n thing beyond the per-
adventure of a doubt; that Brinton
and Waters deliberately and premedi-
tatedly lied when they charged
through the columns of the Burleigh
County Farmers Press at Bismarck,
August u, that the Waters letter of
resignation was forged.
According to the Photographic copy
that appeared in the Courier-News,
Waters wrote his resignation on the
stationery Of the Hotel Tamiami,
Miami, Florida; it is dated April 1,
1920, and bears a signature that cor
responds exactly with the signature
of Waters registered at the Bank Of
North Dakota. Conclusive as this evil
dence is, the Courier-News even went
into details further. reproducing a pho-
tographic copy of the envelope that
carried the letter from Miami, Fla, to
Governor Frazier at Bismarck. The
envelope is postmarked Miami, April
a, 1:30 a. m., 1920.
