CLUB GROWING STRONGER

Anti-TOWnleyites in Burleigh cOun-
ty are confident that with the organ
izati0n started here Tuesday with the
formation of the Burleigh County An
ti-TOwnley club, all candidates on the
Nonpartisan ticket will he showed un;
der at the November election. Here
tofore the county has returned ma.
jority in favor. of the league.
With the election OF H. P. God
dard as Aeneral chairman of the club
the voters feel they have the man
who will guide them out of the will
derness. Mr. Goddard is considered
the foremost organizer and director
of efforts in this part Of the state,
his reputation have been greatly en-
HANGED by the splendid manner in
which he directed the successful
Liberty loan campaigns in Burleigh
county.
The Burleigh County AntiTownley
club nominated complete county
ticket. with the exception of, sheriff
and clerk of court, generally con
ceded to be composed of the strongest
possible material. Since the result
of the convention and organization
OF the club shave become known re-
publicans, democrats, !. v. AS and
in fact every faction opposed to the
league have expressed their satisfac.
tion at the ticket named and the plan
of action outlined. %
The stand Of ROlin Welch and Char
les Fisher, candidates for sheriff and
clerk Of court respectively on the
Nonpartisan league ticket, in refus-
ing to appear before the anti Townley
convention and repudiate the league
endorsement is generally deplored.
These officials claim that because
they, refused to appear before the
League convention they could not ap-
pear before the anti-league conven
tion. Because of this attitude, the
anti -'Townley convention refused TO
endorse either Welch or Fisher.
Mr.. Goddard. the general chairman
Of the Anti ToWnley club, and the
other members OF the committee
named to select the officers and vari.
GUS colnhlttee chairtnen of the club
are at work on this matter, and ex
pect to announce their selections in
few days. ~ 4.

~ JAMES ,H.ENLE,
I. e. A. STAR Correspondent.

New York. April 9.-The fate OF
William H. Moffit, "get rich quick
real estate operator, rests with the
men ond women who were left "hold-
ing the bag" when that dapper gentle.
man suddenly left the city.
This arrangement probable one OF
the most surprising in the annals o!
Justice, has been announced by AS
sistant District Attorney Theodore L.
Waugh. @
Motifs creditors will be
asked to. meet in some hall and
listen to an address by the man
who got their money and who
was brought back here from
California Then they will vote
whether or not to permit Mofit
to return to San Jose, Cal, and
endeavor by legitimate means to
earn money enough to make good
the losses his creditors suffered.
If the latter vote thumbs down"
there is an indictment for fraud wait
ing for the "get rich quick" expert.
IL Lut CEcultOTS are Ill d IclSuIlu6
mood the indictment will be shelved
and Moff1t will get the permission of
the court to leave the state. Under
the terms Of the 5000 bond which
admitted MONT to- bail he may not
now leave the state.
Moffit in 1918 was one of the
best known. men in the New York
realty market and was commonly
thought millionaire. He dealt ex-
ltensively in suburban property. His
downfall came when he sold lots
without payment Of q blanket mort
gage which covered the tract on
which they were situated.
It is sought that some 700 persons
will be sufficiently interested in Moi
fits fate to attend the meeting that
is being arranged. -,
Meanwhile Mofiit himself is betray-
ing no uneasiness about his fate.
When he was brought back to ,this
city he refused to have anything to do
with his wife or children

The Assembly of the League of
Nations will meet on November Is
at the call of President Wilson. it

first Tuesday in November.
Officials refused to disclose the
place of meeting until the Presi-
dents formal call. which is to be
issued from the White House. but IT
was made plain that the United
States would not be represented in
any sense at the initial meeting.
The selection of the date was. II
was understood, designed to give
the participants in the meeting of
the assembly an opportunity to
judge for themselves whether or not
this country would ultimately enter
the league and to proceed with
their deliberations with accurate
knowledge of how the mass of
United States citizens regard the
participation of this country in the
affairs of the world.
