GOVERNOR FRAZIER
VETOED TERMINAL
ELEVATOR MEASURE
Independent Candidate For
Governor Shows How Pres
ent Executive Killed Ele-
vator Bill in l9l7-Re-
views Townley's Record.

Devils Lake, N. d., Sept. 23.-J.
II. n. O'Connor, now actively
stumping the state in his campaign
against Townleyism has been greet
ed by big audiences and by alten-
tive audiences everywhere he mas
spoken in the past ten days.
Speaking in his inimitably char
acteristic manner, he has been us
ing simple logic and admitted facts
to impress his hearers with the sin
cerity OF purpose and the truth OF
the campaign issues.
Here the other day he said For
years the farmers wanted ter
minal elevator, but Governor Fraz-
ier vetoed the terminal elevator bill
in 1917. He gave as an excuse
that the Eill called for 100000
appropriation and would be paid by
direct taxa :ion. There was $780,
900 in tho terminal fund at the
time" The orgy of spending, this
year calling for $3,893, 1880 to
run the stote, had not yet started.
"In 1913" said O'Connor, "the gov
ernor signed a bill appropriating
100000 for immigration by direct
taxation. Was immigration more
important than a terminal
Or would not Townley and the
Townley papers have had nothing
to promise and continue to promise
the farmers if the elevator had
been provided at that time?-the
elusive rainbow to chase down to
it's roots in pot of gold. Nor has
anyone in all these years found it.
O'Connor said MIR. Townley says
the farmers did wrong in finding
out from the Courts whether the
federal or state grain law controll-
ed. Each 1aw provided a Jail SEN
tence for its violation and fine.
II Mr.. Townley had consulted some
good lawyer and learned more
about our laws he would not have
been convicted for disloyalty and
sedition by farmers jury in Mimi
esota. The difference between
Townley and the farmers is that
the former does not believe in law
while the latter obeys the law
"Townley ran for the Legislature
in Golden Valley on the Socialist
Ticket. The Socialist platform ad-
vocated state ownership OF land.
Walter Thomas Mills believes the
same. Do the farmers want the
state to own their land. One more
increase like the last one and the
state will own the land.

Gods sake talk to mel I must talk to someone"
 She followed him. Inside the room he had himself under control again. He told her the story, all he knew.
 When he had finished she arose and walked to one of the windows and stood looking with unseeing eyes upon the street. For the second time in his life Dave Elden had laid his heart bare to her, and again after all these years he still talked as friend to friend. That was it. She was under no delusion. Dave's eyes were as blind to her love as they had been that night when he had first told her of Irene Hardy. And she could not tell him. Most of all she could not tell him now. :. She had waited all these years, and still she must wait.
 Dave's eyes were upon her form, silhouetted against the window. It oc- cured to him that in form Edith was very much like Irene. He recalled that in those dead past days when they used to ride together Edith had re minded him of Irene.
 When she stood silent so long he spoke again.
 'T'm afraid I haven't played a very heroic part" he said, somewhat shamefacedly. q should have buried my secret in my heart buried it even from you; perhaps most of all from you. But-you can advise me, Edith. l will value whatever you say"

 "We must fight, not because we hate Germany but because we love certain principles which Germany Is endeav. bring to overthrow. The impulse must be love, not hate."
 She had turned and faced him while she spoke, and he felt himself strange. ly carried away by the earnestness ot her argument. What a wonderful woman she was! And as he looked at her he again thought of Irene, and suddenly he felt himself engulfed in great tenderness, and he knew that even yet
 "What am to dor" he said. "What am to do?"
 In the darkness of her own shadow she set her teeth for that answer. It was to be the crowning act of self .renunciation and it strained every fiber of her resolution.
 "You had better go overseas and enlist in England she told him calm ly, although her nails were biting her palms. "You will get quicker action

 He had sprung to his feet "Edith, ]. can never thank you enough for what you have said to me tonight. You have put some spirit back into my body. I am going to follow your advice. There's a train east in two hours and I'm going on it.. Fortu- nately my property, or most of fit, has dissolved the way it came"
 She moved toward him with extend ed hand. "Goodby, Dave" she said.
 He held her hand fast in his. Good by, Edith. I can never forget-I can never repay-all you have been. It may sound foolish, to you after all have said, but sometimes wonder Tiff I had not met Irene-if-" He paused and went hot with embarrass- ment. What would she think of him? An hour ago he had been ready to kill or be killed in grief over his frus- trated love, and already he was prac- tically making love to her. Had he brought her to his room for this? What a hypocrite he was!
 Forgive me, Edith," he said, as he released her. "I am not quite my self. .. I hold you in very high respect as one of Gods good women. Goodby!"

CHAPTER XIV.

When Irene Hardy pursued Dave from the house the roar of his motor car was already drowned in the hum of the city streets. Hatless, she ran the length of full block; then, real izing the futility of such a chase, re- turned with almost equal haste to her home.
 "What is the meaning of this?" she demanded of Conward. "Why did he threaten to shoot and why did he leave as he did7 You know. Tell me-"
 T am sure wish I could tell you," said Conward with all bis accustomed
