REPUBLICAN ?
CALL GIVEN
True Republicans Opposec:
to Townleyis1n Asked to
Be Present.

The official Republican call for a
convention to be held in Bismarck
on February II issued to Republican
electors opposed to ~Townleyisn1, Is as
TO All I~y,l Repss.'oans of North
In view Of the fact that the call for
a mass republican, convention, called
to be held at Bismarck, January rs.
1920, does not specify any qualiica-
ton for persons taking part therein.
nor is any basis Of representation for
the several counties provided for
thereby, and inasmuch as the fixing of
such provisions by any call for a con-
vention. Is absolutely essential to the
insuring Of a proper and fair repre-
sentation thcreat; and for the further
reasons. that such call was prepared
and submitted to Mr.. Gunder Olson.
North Dakota. by persons who in
taking such steps were actively in
league with A. C. Townly; that at the
time the said: call was issued Nj.
Gu1der~s Olson was seriously i'll and in
no condition to have given the matter
the serious consideration merited;
that he signed he same, undoubtedly
in the belief that such call was regu-
lar n complete as to all require

ly i'll and we are unable to consult
with or to see him regarding the re-
vision or resembling Of such call, on
count Of his physical condition; that
under such call as made, no repre-
sentative republican convention could
be held at Bismarck, and any convcn
ton attempted to be SO held there un-
der the call as made, could result only
in \ gathering to be dominated by be
