Arthur Foster, former resident of

"All the TOwnley organizers were

disappeared suddenly, and the people
thought they had withdrawn for good.

speeches here in North Dakota and

The Townley organizers have made
absolutely no progress among the
farmers of Oregon, Mr.. Foster said.
The people out there have heard OF
North Dakota's taxes, her bank scan
lals and her socialism, and will have
nothing to do with the organizers.
In Washington they have made
progress among the radicals that in.

ROBINSON HITS
COP PLATFORM
AND SENATORS
Declares Republican Platform
Contains Little Of Real Value
for Voters
PRAISES THE PRESIDENT

San Francisco, June 20. Senator
Joseph G.. Robinson. Of Arkansas,
permanent chairman Of the Democratic
national convention, in his speech
today. assailed the Republican party
for its Chicago platform, for the ex-
penditure Of large sums OF money in
the pre- re-cOnvention contests and partlc-
ularly attacked the senators who
fought the ratification of the peace
treaty with the league OF nation
covenant.
"Tested by every standard which
voters usually apply" he said. "The
Democratic party is entitled to vic
tory in the coming campaign. Com
parison of the Democratic and Re-
publican records on party principles
and party leadership justifies the be-
lief that the Republican party will be
driven from power in both branches
Of Congress and that complete con-
troll of the government will be- restor-
ed to the Democratic party in the No.
vember election, because that party
has earned the public confidence"
"The Republican platform adopted
at Chicago is an amazing jumble OF
antiquities. Inconsistencies evasions.
Misrepresentation, straddles and
'slanders'," Senator Robinson said.
Senator Robinson continued during
his address tol attack the Republicans
for their opposition to President Will
son in international affairs and in do
nestle legislation asserting that the
Republican congress sought to en-
barrass the President at every turn.

LANCER ALWAYS
WILLING WORKER

Wesley C. Mcdowell, state chairman
of three Liberty Loan drives, has
broken down the barriers of political
prejudice to come to the defense Of a
political opponent. In a telegram to
Republican Headquartesr. he answers
the slanders of league speakers
against LANCER by the following:
Attorney General LANCER was
one of the first men to volunteer
his services as a speaker in the
state during the last three Liberty
loans. He was especially success
full in the German speaking COM
munities. We never called on him
but that he was willing to 60"

tomorrow. This is the feeling that
pervades Republican headquarters
Chairman Torger Shines issued the
following statement today:
"The work at the Headquarters
is practically done and the case of
'Americanism V. Socialism now rests
with the jury composed of the voters
Of North Dakota. Optimistic claims
of victory will not affect the result in
any way and l am not going to con-
form to the traditional habit of claim
ing victory for everything in sight,
with majorities that nobody can ex-
pect. | feel however, that we have
been given fair showing by the vot.
ers and am absolutely confident that
the verdict tomorrow will be in our
favor. There will be little splitting
of the ticket. if any.
"a. ]. Gronna and William LANCER
will be nominated for United States
Senator and Governor, respectively
with safe margin and the rest of the
ticket will follow suit. We have tried
in thiS chmpaign to be absolutely
square with the voters. Our speakers
have discussed issues and paid little
or no attention to mud-slinging and
issues have been fairly and fearlessly
presented.
Over 500 Meetings
"Over five hundred meetings have
been held under the auspices of the
Independent Republican, Campaign
Committee and score or more
speakers have addressed the audien-
res. Attorney General LANCER himself
has addressed nearly eighty meetings,
with Senator Groma; Rev. Allen o.
Birchenough, the Fighting Parson'
from st. Thomas; F. B. Streeter;
Henry T. Quanbeck and other candi-
dates addressing nearly as many audi
ences.
"The Campaign Committee has also
had able assistance from such head
liners as Hon. R. A. Nestos and Hon.
A. G. Divet, who have delivered more
than forty addresses at various points
in the state.
"The Congressional Candidates have
spent most Of their time in the SER
vice of the state committee in deal
ing with state issues rather than ma
tional and I expect to see a clean
sweep for the anti-Socialist Republi-
can forces in the three Congressional
districts.
Legislature Safe
GAS to the next Legislature, reports
to headquarters are very optimistic.
There will be a substantial majority
against the Townleyites in the House,
with good chance Of at least an
even break in the Senate.
"There are indications that the pow

us. The Campaign Committee has

LAW STUDENTS WHO DON'T SUPPORT
SOCIALISTS ADVISED TO QUIT STUDY

Frazier administration tried to
force him from the presidency
of the state university.
But the one man who did not
receive a condition is a brother
of strong member of the Non
partisan league.
DR.. Willis, who took it upon
himself to write the letters to
the students without consulting
the council of deans, according
to the report, has been backed
by Nonpartisan league men for
the vacant position Of dean Of
the law school and has been an
active contributor to the league
organ in Grand Forks.
President Kane has never rec
commended Willis for the place
and he, therefore, has not been
named. DR.. Kane was before
the state board of administration
yesterday, headed by the unfrock-
ed preacher Totten, and was not
ready to make a recommendation
and the matter was held in abey-
ance.

The manner in which the Fra

and politics is strikingly illus
trated in a dispatch received by
The Tribune today from Grand

Acting Dean Willis of the law

ton when Dean Wells left, is
said to have written letters to
about fifteen school students, who

grades the first half Of the year

which gave Woodrow Wilson his VIC
tory in 1916, was a new combination
of electoral votes. Previously the big
eastern and middle western states
New York. New Jersey. Indiana, Ohio
and Illinois-together with New Eng
land, were sufficient to tell everybody
on election night that the race was
over.
The big question this year Is
whether there is any combination of
votes whereby Gov. Cox can win the
presidency. Senator Harding has been
picked by most everybody to win
chiefly because of the traditional habit
OF America to change administrations
every few years. But the democrats
have managed to force the league of
nations to the front as an issue with
remarkable success in the last fifteen
Gays. and any calculations made by
the writer or anybody else as early

to revision at the last moment.

order to determine whether those

whether any others have been added

First, the heavy registration of

in some states everybody will have a
chance to vote in the limited period
that the polls are open. On account
OF the congestion at the polls, espe-
cially in states where no provision

many votes will not be cast at all.

Third, the true effect of the en-
