Little Arthur Townley tried to spoil
Mr.. O'Connor's talk at Minot day be-
fore yesterday but he failed miserably
in the attempt. The big boss was no.
tilted that the fusion candidate for
governor was to speak at that place
and he hurriedly jumped into his ten
thousand dollar aeroplane and started
for Minot and upon his arrival dropped
pamphlets from the clouds putting
forth the beauties of his administra-
ton and trying to throw discredlt on
the opposition forces. He may be
riding around in ten thousand dol
lar aeroplane furnished by the farm
ers but that is not going to get him
anywhere these days. The farmers
want facts-cold facts, and they are
getting them, and after getting them
they are crying enough. Mr.. O'Con-
nor was greeted by 1900 people and
Mr.. Townley by less than half that
number. Mr.. Townley, Mr.. Lemke
and Mr.. Mills with their bosom friend,
Kate Richards O'Hare, better be get
ting ready for the deluge and if there
are any pickings left they better gath
err them up while the picking is good.
Governor Frazier has failed to do
many things that he led the people to
believe that he would do, and he has
done many things that the people did
not think he would do. The following
figures show that the voters are fast
realizing that Frazier is not as de-
pendable and able as many thought he
was at first.

Mrs. H. w. Thomas, nonpartisan
league orator, imported from Chicago,
addressed a crowd in the city hall Sat-
urday night. Mrs. Thomas was un-
fortunate in not being posted very we'll
on the situation and Mr.. Lemke we
presume was to blame for that. She
spoke for quite time on the Splendid
| work of the congressman from cher
district) and after she had gone for
quite spell and lauded this congress-
man to the skies, she said that Mr.
Baer was doing fine work. AS this is
not Baer's district the silence follow
, ing her enconiums Of the congress-
! man was rather embarrassing and in
order to break up this COB of silence
Mr.. Louis Noltimier informed her that
Mr.. Baer was not congressman from
this district that Mr.. Young had that
honor. She then switched on to a
talk on Miss Minnie j. Nelson and en-
deavored to show the reason she
should be defeated. While she did not
say anything right out mean against
-, Miss Nelson in the next breath she
insinuated that we did not want to
elect "any bad women or men to office
in North Dakota" 1t was dirty in
situation. That is what we have been
fighting all the time-this electing bad
men to Office in North Dakota. We
! know that there are no bad women
running for office but we do know
| that there are bunch of real bad
| men actors who have been running
! this state for four years and we want
+! to "can" them at the next election.
! The speaker then went on to tell of
| the wonders of the Bank of North Da-
kota and stated that it had loaned
! three millions Of dollars to the farm
ers. Some one in the audience asked
her what the deposits were at the last
statement. She replied nineteen
million dollars" The state has loaned
the farmers three millions of dollars
and keeps sixteen millions unloaned-
! probably for political purposes.
Twelve thousand five hundred of this
! three million was loaned to FIVE Barnes
county league leaders for political pur-
poses. That is how the farmers are
benefited under this magnificent state
: administration. After this had been
i explained away Mrs. Thomas said she
was very tired-we do not blame her
for being tired-and she quit. We
forgot to say, however that she start
ed in to misquote Mr.. O'Connor and
, got called down for that Then
she was very, very tired-and so was
the audience, which was small at that
She made some Of them so tired they
fell asleep in their seats.
