MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. ia. c.
qownley has been dethroned as boss CT
he Nonpsrtisan Leaeue in North
Dakota, and his early retirement as
lead of the national organization was
held to-day by some of his friends to
Be strong probability.
William Lemke, long Townley's con
sdensisl attorney and right-hand man,
has seized the chief power in North
dakota, where he was elected Attorney
General by the league organization lest
sslI. He defeated Townley in the
lssrue's legislative caucus in Bismarck
Monday night, after long and bitter
debate. Townley, after the caucus,
rashed down TO the national headquar-
tsrs in Minneapolis. where he spent
Yesterday in conference with support,
ers, departing again last night for Bis
marck, where he is to resume his efforts
10 dominate league affairs.
If Townley fails it is likely he will
resign and abandon the national organ
isstion. The North Dakota league is
sdll the backbone Of Townleyism and
without it his power would be seriously
curtsiled.
Lemke has been the actual "boss" in
North Dakota for two years, but has
hsen supposed to be acting for Town
ley. He has been trusted implicitly by
Townley, who has turned over to Lemke
control Of the newspaper at Fargo, the
organization of country papers and the
stores corporation.
Lemke has gained the confidence and
TIE adherence of league organizers and
legislators and proved his power when
be came to grips with Townley Monday
and defeated him in the caucus. Out
Of more than seventy votes, it is re-
ported, Townley polled only twelve in
tie caucus.
The strange feature of the North
Dakota fight, to those who have fol-
lowed the Non-paTtissn League move
conservative measures when he was
over-ruled. He pleaded with his old
friends and supporters to accept the
bankers committee proposal and agree
to liquidate the bank of North Dakota
as commercial bank, in order to
straighten ont the Snancial tangle Of
the industrial commission, This plan
would continue the bank merely as g
rural credits organization. Under it,
he urged, they could serve the state
iusr mill an elevator enterprises and
carry out great part of their prog
ram: By insisting on carrying out the
whole thing, they stand big chance
to lose it all. Townleys plea was to
save what they could by compromise.
Denials issued to-day by Lemke and
Governor Lynn ]. Frazier thinly camou-
hage the situation. Both men insist
that they are still in closest har-
mony" with Townley.
