GOVERNOR AS
SAILS TOWNLEYISM.. L..

Assailing the campaign being made
in Western States by A. G. Townley
and Non-Partisan leaguers from
North Dakota. Governor Allen in a
statement tonight approved steps
taken by ex-service men In Kansas
to oppose Townleyism.
1.-THE Non-Partisan league has lost
control of the state government.
The weakness and costs of his schem-
es have finally been exposed and
Townley is hunting new fields.
"Townley and his tribe opposed
appropriations for the wary supplies
and war materials upon which the
very life OF American legion boys
depended at that hour.
"This effort OF Townley's comes
at time when he might expect to
gain some Roadway owing to dlscon-
tent among the farmer in the period
OF reconstruction.
81 share with the legion the be-
lief that Townleyism means merely
the effort to work upon the preju-
dices for the purpose of creating .
class warfare, s
ut is merely another effort ON th'
part of those who do not farm, L
farm the farmer"

Thus does Mississippi advertise
itself to the world as a state of

investments are made unsafe through
lack of insurance accommodations.
Insurance rates are based on the
law of averages and II is impossible
to have as many different rates in
state az there are companies. Pre-
sent insurance rates are the out
growth OF years of study and exper-
fence and were made uniform for
all companies so as to protect the
public against wild cat operations

be an unsafe place to loan money on

Bernard absent from the stage more
than three minutes at time. He must
depict the sharpest contrasts in the
play, OF a sudden rise from poverty TO
riches, and throw into a single infection

brought him. Even here he must not
