1NTERCHURCH CONFERENCE
Held at Linton, April 13, 1920.

The meetings which were held in
the Methodist Church of this city on
Tuesady of last week in the interests
of the Inerchurch World Movement,
were of great benefit in helping those
who attended to get a better under-
standing of the movement. There
were representatives from Braddock,
Temvik, Hull and Westfeld. The
Baptist, Evangelical and Methodist
churches of Linton were also repre-
sented. Throughout the day the
speakers put great stress upon the
Evangelism and Stewardship reatu: es
of the work. The meeting in the
evening was of especial profit to the
large crowd which was in attendance.
DR.. E. Lee Howard, of Fargo, spoke
on the great task which is before
the churches and many of those who
heard him said they thought his talk
was the best they had ever listened
to. The stereoptican viws were shown
az the bst number on the days pr ).
gram and they were very interesting
and instructive.
Plans were made for the great
financial drive which will be made
simultaneously all over the nation
from April 25th to May I'd. Each de-
nomination will have teams to solicit
the members of that denomination.
1nterdenominational teams will be
composed of men of the various
churches and they will ask gifts from
the friendly citizens to help in this
greatest forward movement of the
churches. A survey has been made
of the entire field, the speakers at the
conference announced, and it is now
known how much money and how
many lives are needed if the task Of
the churches is to be adequately per-
formed. The campaign which is to
be made is greater than any other that
has gone before, with the single ex-
ception of the Liberty Loan campaigns
which latter was not question of Civ
ing but of lending moeny. In this
campaign, people will be asked to give.
and to give on a more ganerou sscale
than they have given before.
The speakers at the conference en-
phasized the fact that this is. not an
attempt at the organic union of the
denominations, but plan of co-opera-
tion in order that a great deal Of waste
might be eliminated from the present
program Of Christianity.

Granny of the county could be seen in
the crowd.
At the Townley meeting, non-del-
egates and non-voters in the county
were part of the affair. Saturday,
the delegates conducted their own
business without outside assistance.
The icket placed in the fell, the cal
ibre of the men in the convention and
attending, the lack of discord, and the
whole-souled donating. at the close of
the meeting augur we'll for the sue
cess Of the antis this year in Emmons
county. They appear likely to dupli-
cate the feat of last year when the
Townleyites were so badly hit in the
referendum election. In fact, the
anti -Townley majority in June is like
ly to exceed the average of last year.
It is a physical impossibility for any
convention to satisfy every voter in
the county. It is doubly trying to
pick the right kind of ticket this
year for county Office, since the salary
proposition remains the same as years
ago, while the purchasing price of the
dollar has dropped so low. Compe.
tent persons, in many cases, feel they
can do much better financially. with
out county office. However, the
convention seems to have handled It's
problems very well. As whole, the
ticket looks many times better than
the conglomeration put across in the
league meeting some time ago. And
the fight this year is not matter of
personal likes and dislikes. The
Townley crew, after capturing the
state machinery bag and baggage, are
seeking greater conquests and are af-
ter the county jobs as well. If the
Townley machine is to be kept from
becoming SO stron that it cannot be
unloaded, it behooves all to take care
that the entire Townley ticket is de-
J feated, from their non-English speak
ing candidates for the legislature to
their county commissioner material.
On the legislative matter neither
Mr.. Baumgartner nor the Record man
were active candidates for the Job.
It was simply up to the organization
to state their choice, and for the men
picked to make the best fight they
know how. The legislature is as i'm
portant, if not more so. as the COVER
norship. Either Mr.. Baumgartner or
the writer will be money out if elected
to the office. It requires two months
absence from personal affairs at. a
salary insufficient to pay board and
room. It is up to the people simply
to determine their own interests in
this fight. If they want some more
Of Harding, and a similar running
mate, well and good. If they don't
want that, they have choice. We
shal ask no man for vote as matter
Of friendship. On the score of friend
ship, a vote against legislative can
didate would no doubt be friendly
act from purely selfish view point.
With committee Of three in every
precinct to handle the precinct fight,
the Emmons County Anti Townley
Campaign Committee may be expected
to do some horrible execution to
Townley and his puppets. Townley
has won in the past by having things
his own way. And his success has

Campaign Committee was organized
last Saturday afternoon when dele.
gates from thirty Of the thirty-one
precincts Of the county met at the
court house, hundreds of voters from
every section of the county coming
with their delegates.
The crowd began gathering in town
early Saturday afternoon. By noon
the streets were lined with automo-
biles and it was easy to see that the
people Of this county have reached the
point where they propose to throw of
the Townley yoke.
About 2 p. m. the crowd began to
gather at the court house. H. W.
Allen, appointed county chairman by
the republican state central committee
and a delegate from Braddock pre-
cinct, called the meeting to order.
J. w. Mikesell, Of Dala, was elected
temporary chairman, and VIM. John.

mittee on credentials was appointed

The success of John Golden as pro-

latest venture. The heroine, an orphaned
girl, has somewhat the characteristics OF
her character name April, and remains
hopeful even under the adverse circum-
stances of life in an institution where all
is not rosy. to say the least. But the visit
of the founder heir throws HIM In con-
tact with her, and leads TO career
on the stage, ending In triumph for her
and realization of her dreams.
The appeal of Grace La Rue IN the title
role, was especially strong in the carrier
act. Hale Hamilton made plausible
and polished wooer, with n pleasing
personality.
