Thursday when Eddie Rickenbacker,

carried him approximately l,557
miles, completed the trip from Red

achievement overshadowed by a
small hump in the landing field here,
hump that took the romance out
of the game, and Eddie's splendid
ship out of the race.
1t was no fault of his that he
crashed. Investigation by air mail
officials and Rickenbacker himself at
daylight this morning proved be-
yond a doubt that his landing was
perfect. But a small washed spot on
the turf of the field proved his un-

Still Theme of
Townley Debate
LANCER Attacks Nonpartisan
League Head and Com
panies and is Answered
In Similar Vein.

York, Ncb., May 27. --- (Spccia'
Telegram )-Giving full play to per-
sonalities and INDUCING in remarks
pertinent to each others past per
sonal history, A. c. Townley and
William LANCER spoke to nearly 4oI
people here on the Nonpartisan
league in North Dakota.
LANCER, who opened the debate;
said that the question was based
upon the leadership of the Nonpar-
tisan league. He accused Iownley
as follows:
Association with !. w W. and
socialists and the bringing OF them
into North Dakota as his col
leagues from other states.
Joining an alliance with the |. w.
W. to act in cooperation and thus
obtain a balance OF power III North
Dakota.
Spreading the doctrines OF the |.
w. w. in that state. -.
Wilful misappropriation of funds.
Graft and underhand methods.
"Townlev and his gang controlled
the press in North Dakota" said
LANCER. They sought to control
the schools and other state lnstltu-
tons. They broke the banks they
had connection with. Taxes were
raised 800 per cent and it was Town
lev who was behind it all with his
dirty gang OF I. w. VS.. and social
lists from Kansas and other states.
Townley called LANCER liar and
fool and said that he had evaded
the issue of the debate, which was
supposed TO deal with the value OF
the Nonpartisan league program and
spent all his time on jibes against
the league leaders and himself.
"The reason | brought socialists
into North Dakota" said Iownley'
was because OF the fact that we
needed socialists there. The Non
partisan league program as it stands
IS successful system and LANCER
las failed to point out any detects
III it. He wasted nineteenth OF his
time here as in every other place
we have spoken indulging in person
alities against me and the men with
me. The facts he gives are With
out foundation
