AT DICKINSON
Previous Evening Crowd of
Only $50 Hear League
Speaker.
(Herald Special Service. !,

Dickinson. n. D.. June 10-An ex-
ample Of the interest taken in the
two sides of the present campaign
was strikingly shown yesterday by the
$500 crowd which greeted Attorney
General LANCER in his scheduled talk
here and the l5e who met Congress
man J. H. Sinclair yesterday after
noon.
Slnclalr's meeting was advertised by
posters and newspapers and about one
hundred and fifty turned out to hear
him. There was no auditorium
available except the Bohemian hall
and the caretaker there refused to
turn over the key for political
meeting. Last night approximately
4,500 people crowded about the city
band stand to listen to Mees. Guam
beck and finally LANCER. In the
crowd were 1000 farmers from Tay-
lor. Belfield. Richardton and other
nearby districts.
Before addressing this audience in
the business section. he previously
talked in German to large crowd of
voters who taxed the capacity Of the
st. Anthony hall on the south side.
AS in all other places where LANCER
has appeared he found the sentiment
changed.
| Fifty Cars Bearing Banners.
Taylor is for LANCER" paraded the
Red Trail to Dickinson early in the
evening. Each car carried farmers
from the Taylor district brought to
the meeting by Taylor people. Cars
ed the procession and each bore a
LANCER for governor banner.
Speaks at Garrison.
Tuesday night LANCER addressed at
least $50 people who crowded into
the auditorium of the Garrison high
school and filled the Railways. He
declared A. G. Townley is the only
| governor we have and declared that
Commissioner of Agriculture John n.
Hagan and Governor Frazier sent a
Grand Forks man to St. Paul to re-
quest the retention of President Kane
at the university
This party came back with the re-
port that Townley thought it politi-
cally expedient that Kane remain for
the present.
Leaving Garrison yesterday morn
ing LANCER drove 1856 miles to Cor.
ham, northern Billings county where
he spoke briefly to an audience of
100. all farmers.
Whether or not Nonpartisan league
members will vote for the retention
of Frazier and Townley remains to
be seen, but men pointed out in his
audience as staunch leaguers have
been seen to vigorously applaud
Hangers statements and his expose OF
1.-THE Townley administration. Only
