Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1920-08-26

we spent some time at the Brad
dock and Grain homes in Minneapolis.
Mr.. Grain is handling the affairs of
the land bank in Minneapolis in which
Mr.. Braddock was interested until his
death. Master Ed Braddock has
been working during the summer with
Ia Milwaukee surveying crew, was
graduated last spring from West i.igh
and will enter the freshmen engineer
ing class at the Minnesota university
this fall. Miss Genevievc Braddock
will teach at Becker MINI. where the
Lipps family are located.
From Minneapolis we autoed to
Pine City, where the Turner family
is located. Mr.. Turner has built up
fine moving picture business in that
live little Minnesota town. He is
lust completing new theater build
ing that is a beauty and will probably
cost at least $4,000.
1t is certain that there is no nicer
place to spend few weeks in sum-
fner than around the Twin Cities aud
among the lakes CT northern Mime
sofa. Pine City is ideally located.
| fishing and bathing facilities being
excellent and handy. The forests OF
our eastern neighbor add mater. .lly
to the pleasant weather conditions
there, and their roads for auto travel
far surpass those of North Dakota.
| Minnesota is really perfecting her
road system A paved road is being
built from Minneapolis to ST. Cloud,
: and will be great thing for autoist:,
when completed. St. Cloud itself is
picture city And most of the otner
roads we travelled are well worked ard
nraveled. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars have been spent putting sever
al inches of gravel on the trails after
they have been worked up much after
the plan of the federal road being
built between Hazelton and point
north of Linton.
One of the most n,easant features
of our outing was the complete de-
tachment from business cares. For
two weeks we knew particularly moth
| ing of what was going on at home
or in the state generally. In fact, we
hadn't even heard of the rumpus
kicked up in league circles bv that
precious pair-Brinton and Waters
until last Saturday.
= Minnesota people are feeling mighty
pleased over their success in heading
off Red control Of their state-and
lthey are encouraged bv the healthy
lsigns developing in North Dakota
T. cannot be denied that thousands
of people throughout the United State
who have been watching public affairs
closely feared the success of Towniey
and his brother reds in other states
than North Dakota and the pros,ec,
within few years of Soviet machine
that might be able to capture the fed
eral government and then to throw of
all pretense and to come out as allies
of the present Russian regime. Tn:
defeat of Townleyism in Minnesot:
made certain the localizing of the dis
ease in this one state, thus sparine
the nation any great danger from sucf
a source. And with the awakening
that took place in Moth Dakota
where the Townley gang had absolut.
sway with their powerful politica
( machine-the sentiment seemed to b.
generally hopeful that Townley ant
I his wild schemes would soon be mere
ly sort of bad dream to take it:
place ALONGSIDE of such historical
!. political conditions as the Reconstruc
i tion Period in the South, the Tweet
Ring in New York and the days O.
Sockless Simpson in Kansas.
And North Dakota's political exper
: imenting has only damaged North Da
kota itself. It hasn't made dent il
the solution of the economic problems
Of the world or the nation. Easter
capital has simply contented itsel
!, with drawing out Of the state. Hence
a money stringency in Dakota that al
of US have felt. Townley and his co
workers have so brazenly shoute'
their hatred against any and all WIN
:, had capital to loan or invest in thi
state that they simply refused t
' place their wealth within the reacl
d of the tender mercies of the defunc
h flax king. And so-called "Big Bus
e iness' refuses to be worried. The
: seem to think that any worrying t
!. be done must devolve upon those VIII
e live in the state and what are tie
n up here financially.
