 Ashurst Is Indignant.
 During the debate Senator .Ashurst, democrat, Arizona, charged that the was directed primarily at s.H Herbert Hoover and that it was a stAart of a policy that is being pur- Sued to throw mud upon men who rendered valuable services during the war;
 .Instead of Investigating public of icials, let us investigate ourselves and find out why no vote has been taken on the treaty. he said. II am as much opposed to White House irreconcilable as l am to eenate irreconcilable.'
 Senator Ashurst charged that pol lticians" hoped to keep the league or nations before the country as 9 screen so they would not be called upon to discuss military training and public ownership of public utilities, IS well as their failure to appropriate s25O.O00,0oO for irrigation purposes and to pass soldier land law.

 The time has come, he said, when masks should be torn from the faces. of a few people in and out of ,he senate so the country can know who is responsible.

Official Figures Show What
Near East Relief Can Do in
Efficient PURCHASING.

Buying in wholesale lots and under
the most favorable market conditions.
Near East Relief OF Madison avenue,
New York city, with representatives
in every state of the Union, has been
able to BATTLE the high cost of living
SO far as relief supplies for the suf-
fering millions of the Near East are
concerned.
A donation of SIS per month will pro-
vide food for one orphan, $40 per
month provides not only food, but
also clothes and shelter for one Or
phan, and for $15 per month attend
ance at school is assured to each
orphan in addition to food, clothing
and shelter.
In the appeal for funds to save the
starving remnants of the Armenians
and other western Asia peoples, Near
East Relief is inviting the American
public to "adopt" an orphan at the
rates given here. Over 250,OOO home
less children are in need of help in the
Near East. Women's organizations,
lodges, churches and social clubs are
responding to the appeal by adopting
quotas of orphans for support over a
definite period.
North Dakota is expected to feed
at least 1900 children. We fed 16OC
last year. Bishop Tyler of Fargo was
state chairman and Mr. Beckwith OF
the Northern National bank of Fargo
was state treasurer. These men will
assist you this year.

because of the separate ballot boxes
for men and women, just how the
newly enfranchised electors vote at
the coming election. There will be
four ballots this November: The nom
partisan school and judicial ballot, the
state constitutional amendment bal
lot, the ballot containing the five I'M
tiated laws. and the state and national
ballot. The last named will have, it
is practically certain, six columns:
Republican, Democratic, Socialist
Prohibition, Farmer-Labor, and indi-

county is? Where does he hail from ::
Is he citizen of the United States,
or of North Dakota? He is certainly
stranger to Emmons county. Whas
is there about Mr.. Miller that makes
him more fit to be county manager OF
Emmons county for Mr.. Townley
than would Emil Hardt, or Sam
Wright, or some other gentleman.
We have been getting used to the
fact that league speakers and even
league Office holders quite generally
were brought from some other part
of the world. But this business OF
having our official county manager OF
the same stripe seems to be getting
the thing down to a science.
But then we should forgive Mr..
Miller much, for hasn't he made the
statement that he was willing to admit
that the league wasn't getting out az
good a paper in Emmons county as the
independent paper.
And so, folks, when you see ro
tund little gentleman in a fivver sud-
denly bob up in your back yard, you
may feel safe in saying that he is the
county manager for Emmons county.
and, incidentally joke editor for the
local league organ. And he prop
ably still borrowing that back pay o.
his from the Free Press.

The campaign in Emmons county
appears to have formally opened
Wednesday night of last week. At
that time there was quite an asser:-
blage of league organizers here.
Charlie Heck, who used to hang
around Wilton talking socialism until
the league gave him job, was here.
Charlie is the party who had $780,
900 note in the Scandinavian Banks
resources when he actually wasn't
worth ten thousand cents.
Fritzie Argast was also there. Frit-
zie sports big picture of a billygoat
on his windshield. Fritzie used to mix
socialism and farming, and made o
failure at both, up around Motif until
the league took him on. The league
seems to have proven of great benefit
to Fritzie. He is looking well, is fat,
and doesn't seem to be in any finan-
cial embarrassment any more.
If the league would only do ono
tenth the good for the farmers ano
other citizens of this state that it has
done for Fritzie, Heck, County Mana.

Press, Waters, Brinton, Bowen, Town.
ley, Lemke, and dozens of others who
got in while the "pickins" were good
there would be some excuse for asking
support.

If the "joke editor" of the loca'
league organ will take second glance
at our issue of Sept. I'd he will fine
that we didn't say that Fay Harding
had taken on a new job as flunky to
Townley. We simply stated that the
league paper said so. Fact is, Their,
are many statements printed from:
time to time in this same paper that
we do not believe. And whenever we
have occasion to refer to any of their
stuff, we are always careful to war;:
our readers of the source from which
the stuff comes.

catch suckers.

catch suckers.
Elmer Anderson was an II. V. A.
who won by few votes" when An
derson had never in his life belonged
to the 1. v. A., and he was chose::
over Scherr, the non-speaking league
candidate by mighty big vote.
Then, too, the Bank of North Da-
kota" gave the farmers chance to
engage in the banking business
when in fact it simply provided sons
easy money in a few loans to league
workers and tools, and caused school
districts and townships by the score
to be robbed of as much as a thiro
of their interest on funds.
And Wallace was going to eliminate
state tax levy in 1921 by substitute
ing an income tax big enough to raise
the funds. A joke to catch suckers.
And through the immigration bin
thousands of immigrants had already
been attracted to our state. sarc.:
that was meant as joke to catch
suckers, for any man would certainly
be able to see evidences of those thous-
ands of immigrants if the statement
had had any semblance of truth.
Of course, we probably cannot blame
all these jokes on the editor Of the
league sheet, for the last joke article
is signed, although only by initials.
Some say the coke editor" is man
who has been in and around Linton
much of the summer as representa-
tive of A. C. Townley politically, anc
whose name is said to be Miller. In
fact, a letter signed by Steve Kraft
states that Mr.. Miller is the county
manager. We understand that Mr..
Townley has sent one of his men into
every county of the state as resident
managers.
With all these hired county mana
gers, with the, big socialist vote in
the northwestern part Of the state,
with unlimited funds and speakers,
with fat loans from the Bank of North
Dakota for the faithful-loans otter
exceeding the assessed valuation
with countless jobs as hail adjusters,
with newspapers controlled by the
league bosses and paid for by the far
mers, with monopoly of all legal
printing, with the brains of creates.
of the socialist leaders of the world
such as Walter Thomas Mills, Kate
Richards O'Hare and Charles Edward
Russell, isn't it funny that Townley
and his crew had such hard sailing
in the primary election if their dope
is good for the farmers and their
performance honest? Isn't it funny
they lost Minnesota when the oppo-
sition to them was split half dozen
different ways on the governorship ?
Yep, there's lots of joke in the make.
up of the Townley county manager ir
Emmons county, and there's plenty Of
jokes in the makeup of the rest Of
his mercenary comrades. And we ar.
willing to admit that those league or
ganizers and county managers hav.
proven themselves adept at Catching
suckers"
But 'tis written that you may foo
all of the people some of the time
and some of the people all of the time
but fooling all of the people all of tn
time is some contract-even for tn
Townley imported manager of En-
mons county.
In fact, we wonder just who thi.

The league paper now denies that
Townley has actually condescended to
do Fay Harding the honor of hiring
him as footman or Office boy, etc.
etc. We never said anything to the
contrary. We simply stated that the
league paper said so. Mercy, no.
We don't believe one-tenth of the
things they publish. But some times
we pass along their dope for the many
local people who do not get their
stuff.
