we claim to give each and every one
a fair show.

Speaking of Senator Gronna the
Darlington Independent says: 1.-The
senator told how he had introduced a
bill into the senate fixing the govern
ment regulation of products in the
days of the war, setting the price of
wheat at $3.50. The bill had already
passed in both holses Of congress he
stated, and was ready for the presi-
dents signature when A. c. Townley,
who claimed that he was represent
ing the farmers Of North Dakota, sent
telegram to President Wilson stat
ing that the farmers of the state
would be satisfied with So bushel,
consequently the president vetoed the
bill and the minimum price for wheat
was set at that amount. The senator
backed up this assertion by stating
that he had copy of this telegram in
his possession and was willing to
show it to any one." Mr.. Townley has
been posing as one of the great
friends of the farmer and has been
telling from the stump, the housetop,
and from every nook and corner of
the state, how the anti-Townley folks
have been handing it to the farmer.
It would appear from the remarks
above. delivered by United States SEN
ator A. J. Gronna, that Mr.. Townley
himself beat the farmers of North Da-
kota out Of many millions of dollars
during the war. Mr.. Gronna has the
authentic authority for this for any
one interested to see. In addition to
beating the farmers out Of millions of
dollars in fixing the price of wheat
during the war, he has been taking
hundreds of thousands Of dollars out
of the pockets of the farmers at $18
per to take over to Minnesota to
spend in that state trying to capture
it for state socialism. He is coming
with his horde to North Dakota next
week to try and keep control of this
state so that he can get millions more
if the farmers will only believe the
hot air he hands out to them. What
benefit has the farmer derived from
this new day here. Has he received
any results that he could call gain :?
Not single thing. On the other
hand they have had their taxes dou-
:bled, they are being taxed for millions
Of dollars of bonded Indebtedness for
trying out experiments that do not
pay but which furnishes hundreds of
hangers on with fat jobs for which
the tax payers are taxed to support.
Show us a single benefit from this
new program up to date ? The only
benefit received so far is increased
taxes to pay the Townley bunch for
boarding at frst-class hotels, riding
around in ten thousand dollar air
planes and in buying automobiles for
organizers to ride around in and for
which the farmer has to pay.

publicity agent. There is some talk
of third ticket with LaFollette as
the candidate for president which will
represent the radical element in the
nation and also there is talk of a
fourth ticket to be put in the field by
the prohibitionists. LaFollette, if he
should run on a third ticket, will pull
as many votes from the democrats as
from the republicans and the result
in November will be the same.
William G. McAdoo son-in-law of
President Wilson, has come out fatty
refusing to allow his name to be pre-
scented to the democratic convention at
San Francisco for nomination for the
presidency. This will come as rath-
er severe blow to a great many demo-
Gratis who have been looking forward
with fond hopes to the possible nomi-
nation of McAdoo for president. They
will now have to look around for new
material. A great many politicians
have expressed the belief that Nc
Adoo is the strongest man that could
be put up by the democrats. This is
undoubtedly true, as they have but a
small field of candidates to select
from or maybe Father-in-Law Wilson
has persuaded Son-in-Law McAdoo tc
get out of the race and give him a
chance for a third term. 1t doesn't
make much difference, however, who is
nominated as the present republican
nominee and his running mate will no
doubt snow the democrats under at
the coming election.

WELL KNOWN ARTISTS
To APPEAR IN PERSON
AT COLISEUM, OCT. II

One of the most novel musical en-
tertainments to be given in Richmond
this season is scheduled for the Coli
scum on Monday, Oct. IL, when Eight
Famous Artists will appear in person
in a concert and entertainment extra
ordinary, under the local direction OF
Walter B. Fulghum.
The eight members Of the party are:

Croxton, basso; Monroe Silver, the

banjoist; Frank Banta, pianist; and
the world-famous laugh-provoker, Billy
Murray The Sterling Trio, composed
of Campbell, Burr and Meyer, and the
Peerless Quartet, composed of Camp
bell, Burr, Meyer and Croxton, will
give several trio and quartet selec-
tions.
Probably the best known of famous
American tenors is Henry Burr. While
Burrs name is a household word in
the majority of musical homes, few
people aside from his personal friends
know him when they see him, largely
because of the fact that he has rarely
done concert work outside of New
York, having preferred to devote al
most all of his time to studio work.
He is pupil of John Denis Mehan,
and for some years was soloist of the
famous choir of the Church of the
Incarnation in New York.
Murray and Silver.
The humorous work on the even
ing's program will be carried by Billy
Murray and Monroe Silver, both of
! whom have been before the public for
years and both of whom have won re-
/ peated successes. Murray will sing
some of the songs which have made
! him famous, and Silver, who is prob
ably best known for his Cohen on
| the Telephone" stories, will tell sew
eral of his Jewish dialect stories and
sing some original parodies.
John Meyer and Frank Croxton, the
| baritones of the party, have made mu-
! sic life study and each sings solos
in addition to taking part in the trio
and quartet numbers. Croxton is rat
ed by many American critics as one
of the best American concert and ora.
