Them Down

AS the Forum has said before, the
best proof Of the growth OF the anti
Townly sentiment in North Dakota
lies not in the vote on the governor
ship, but IN the vote on such issues as
the initiated laws, and in the vote. for
offices on the nonpolitical ballot. 81 !E
If you accept the vote on the initial
ed laws as a test. a clear majority
Of the voters Of North Dakota are
opposed to Townleyism. The mar
gin is from 5000 to $4,000.
If you accept the vote on the leg
islatiye offices as test, big major
ity Of the voters are opposed, for
the league elected 81 house mem
bers to 50 and but 10 senators to Is
by; the independents. .5-:s s5:-:s.
Il you accept the vote on Miss
Nelson and Judge Christianson as the
test the majority against Townley-
ism runs from 5000 to Ii, 900.
IS But for the purpose of comparison,
the vote on the governorship offers #
an interesting study in the whiting
down Of the league strength in North
Dakota. ,5s S.5 L
IN June, William LANCER carried:
20 Of the 5s counties. in North Dakota:
Last Tuesday Mr.. O'Connor carried
"a of the 53 counties. He carried
