LANCER CHARGES DIT. Ladd Vas :
Never a Friend of the Farmers

to Dr. E. F. LaGl twice, askink him
to come to Washington with me tc
fight for the farmers for a fair price
for their wheat at the inquiry before
the Federal Marketing Commission.
If evere there was a time for him to
show he was a friend of the farmer
it was then, but he refused to go. Sen
ator A. ]. Gronna, who is now being
maligned by the Townley controlled
newspapers, came over to the hear
ing with me and he fought for the
farmers. They wanted to dock the
wheat two pounds a bushel. Senator
Gronna said, II raised one hundred
thousand bushels of wheat last year
myself. 4 know all about wheat Sen.
ator Gronna told them, and he fought
so hard and so strongly that two
hundred millers who were trying TO
get a cheap price established on your
wheat did not have a single answer
and the federal commission set a spc-
cial date for a North Dakota hearing,
and we won it without Ladd, and in
spite Of him. Congressman P. D..
Norton was there all the time too,
and he too aided in the fight, yet today
Townley papers said Gronna and Nor
ton are enemies of the farmers.

Hettinger N. D., June 16. - (Ey
Earl H. Tostevin.)-Entering the
heart of the Bad Land country which
has changed little since Teddy Roose-
welt learned his wild west, Attorney
General William LANCER, last week
addressed $500 men, and wo-
men Of Slope and Bowman counties
at a picnic at the famous H. T. ranch.

town of Amidon not a soul was on the
street of the Slope county capital.

peared and gave directions to reach
the H. II Ranch. "My wife and l
are the only ones left in town and l
would be out there too, but I had to
stay with my wife who is sick," he
said.
Cow punchers, farmers, business
men, from nearby towns, their best
girls and their wives cheered at the
appearance of the next governor. The
meeting was held in a grove on the
bank of Deep Greek, back of the great
log cabin, "Dude House," and the
long stables.
At other meetings in the state au-
tomobiles have been the means used to
reach the place. There WI scors of
pony riding cowboys in their woody

as to where they stand on the governor

the speakers they cheered Justify. In

has been strongly profoundly will
give at least a fifty-ffty split. The
same holds true of Hettinger and
Adams counties which have been solid
league counties. The larger picnic
wound up with a real wild west show
in its native setting.

people at Hettinger. "We are both
