1t is now reported that O. H. Olson

Oh the league ticket at the recent pri'
naries, is to be the league candidate
cor congress in the second district te
I'm against Congressman George NJ
Young. But what are they going to dc
with that healthy boom Of Job Brin'
toms? If Job persists in running
anyway the bosses are going to have
some fun on their hands trying tc
push him into the discard. The league
convention will be held at Grand Forks
he fifteenth of this month and then
re shall see how close these newspa-
rer dopesters come to lining up the
ticket. When Frazier was first nomi.

prophets. History may repeat Itself
this year and men never dreamed Of
nominated. Little Arthur Townley is
shrewd worker and what he wants
he usually gets-even the money.
George M. Young, congressman
from this district, has clean record
back of him. He has well represented
The district and has done more than
the average congressman usually does
for his constituents. To. Mr.. Young
We owe this handsome postttlce build
ing. He secured the Appropriation for
that. He has been courteous and en-
ergetic when anything has been re-
ouired of him and he has done what
ever he could for the people of North
Dakota. Suppose, if we stretch it a
little, that he has done some things
that we did not approve Owe 90
not say that he has-Why should we
turn him down for man like Brinton
or one of his ilk when we have right
here from Barnes county man VINO
belongs here, is better equipped in ev-
ery way to represent the district and
we know from his past record that he
is the safest man to send to congress.
We believe that when the time comes
to select congressman from the Sec
ond district that if the voters look
into Mr.. Young's record they will agree
with US that he is by far the best man
to return to congress.
Between seven and ten thousand
members Of the socialist party in the
state under instructions from Townley
are registering as republicans. All of
the Townley democrats are register
ing as republicans. This gives the
Townley forces a solid front. We can
win in the June primary but it isn't
going to be walkaway. We must
have the united support Of every man
opposed to Townleyism. North Da-
kota is facing great crisis. The
very life of it's people is dependent
upon the dethronement of the red car
pet baggers who are trying to con-
iscate everything that the citizens of
this great state have labored so long
and hard to obtain. We must set
aside all personal selfshness. The
victory is not one that can be won by
any man or any party alone. There is
only one way to win and that is for
every anti-Townley democrat in the
full spirit of unselfsh devotion to the
cause to register as republican. This
Will not prevent anyone from voting
as he desires for president. DO YOUR
BIT. HIT TOWNLEYISM A DEATH
BLOW. REGISTER AS A REPUB-
LICAN.
Some time ago we had a little edi-
;orial in the Times-Record suggesting
hat that rabbit farm at Fargo was
sort of blue sky game. We intended
The article as sort of warning but it
got under the skin Of some of the in

riot court at Fargo stand for any
hing, that this fur bearing rabbit en-
:erprise is one Of the most gigantic
with the blue sky for the
init that has ever been attempted
n this state. The authorities have
arrested the promoters and the case

stock and bought a live rabbit which
hey have never seen but which is sup
posed to bring forth a crop of young
'abbits every few weeks and the in

young. To make the investment more
catchy some Of our investors have
