these locals will elect delegates to
act on the county organization. The
locals will be for both political, as
we'll as social, unionism and are cal
culated to bring the members of the
nonpartisan league closer together

ity spirit such local organizations
may bring forth. The precinct locals
will be similar to the community
clubs already organized in the state,
and are governed by regular code
of laws and order of business. The

Langer.TOwnley Debate
Wednesday evening the much
heralded Townley-Lange debate was
staged in the city auditorium before
1000 attendants. Mr.. LANCER spoke
first and received very little applause
when he was introduced to the au-
dienc. He is very inferior speak
er, quick-tempered and given to
snarling. He was supposed to up
/, hold the resolution that the nom
partisan league program in North
Dakota was detriment to that state.
Mr.. Townley argued that the pro-
gram was a benefit. LANCER did not
at any time during the hour allotted
him refer to the nonpartisan pro-
gram in North Dakota. Instead he
devoted his time to mud singing and
personal abuse of Mr.. Townley Mr..
LANCER had grip full of photos,
documents, l. w. W. literature, cop
| les of checks and what not and took
delight in shaking them in Mr.. Town
ley's face.
A tremendous ovation was given
Mr.. Townley when he arose to pre-
sent his side of the debate and the
chairman was compelled to call tor
order several times before the crowd
would quieten down. Mr.. Townley
spoke in very slow, deliberate tone
of voice and explained why he was
out debating with Mr.. LANCER, whom
he stated had at one time been I
man in good standing in North Da
kota, but who had fallen by the
wayside. ~ have, confess, sale
some very harsh things about Mr.

The nonpartisan league conven-
ton in Mitchell last week closed
two day session on Wednesday even
ing after establishing a record as
being one of the largest political con-
ventions held in the state in late
years. More than 1900 delegates
presented their credentials on the
opening day. Ali out three coun-
ties were renresented. these counties
being IN the extreme western part OF
the state.
State Manager Tom Ayres called
the convention to order at 2 O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon in the Odd Fell
lows Hall, but owing to the extreme
heat and the lack Of seating room
the delegates were directed to the
court hous park where the various
delegations were grouped together.
Following the filing OF credentials
the various county delegations cleo
ed members to serve on the various
committees, and these committees
met the following day at the Eagles
Hail.
After the election of committee
members Mr.. Ayres introduced o. s.
T., or 10
addressed the body and then present
ed Mr.. E. E. Sudan, who spoke for
an hour. Following Mr.. Sudan's
address Mr.. Ayres introduced
candy" Lockhart, who numbered
himself OF some caustic sentiment
regarding the indifference and IN
consistencies of the average nom
partisan Lacquer. Mr.. Lockhart
spoke for an hour and thirty minutes
to very attentive audience of over
5000 people.
At O'Clock Tuesday evening the
delegates assembled in the city au.
ditorium and listened to one of the
most masterful addresses ever de-
liyered in the state. Miss Alice
Lorraine DAILY was the speaker and
completely swept her audience with
her eloauence. Miss Daily has long
held the record as being the bess
lady speaker in the state and in her
Tuesday evening address sustained
her old reputation. Miss Daily was
followed by Governor Lynn j.
Frazier, of North Dakota. who spoke
for an hour and 80 minutes on the
situation in North Dakota. Governor
Frazier is an excellent speaker and
gave very concise statement Of the
conditions prevailing in the state 10
the north.
