claring the promises on which it was
founded had not been kept He ac-
cuscd Townley Of using the industrial
program to win the support Of the
farmers without making sincere ef-
fort to place this program in opera

the abuse to which he, LANCER and

clared to be socialism, pure and sim
pic. ....
''Whcn the people of North Dakota
