AS has been mentioned before. the

This concern has performed many
services for the Nonpartisan league.
and perhaps the most important of
these was the affidavit which the
president. Mr.. Thatcher presented to
the North Dakota. supreme court in
the fall of 1919 which resulted in the
re-opening Of the Scandinavian
American bank Of Fargo after that
notorious institution had been closed
by the state banking board.
rhis affidavit was offered to the
supreme court by William Len1ke.
now attorney general of the state who
was at that time the attorney for the
Scandinavian American bank.
Report Was Misleading.
When Mr.. Thatcher was quizzed
last winter before the house audit
committee his own testimony showed
that the affidavit was misleading in
many respects, and further evidence
along this line has only recently come
to light.

The creamery was maintained part
ly by taxes on other creameries and

sold.
There never has been a public ac-
counting made of the money derived
from the sale Of products from the
creamery. Commissioner Of Agricul-
ture John Hagan has never given the
public any facts to show the cost per
pound OF making butter, or to explain
the numerous names appearing on
the salary list OF the creamery Ia the
Office Of the state treasurer. What
payments were made out of receipts
of the state industry are not known.

Garrison, N. D., Oct. 11.-By catch
ing ride on the trans-Siber erian"
freight and driving fifty miles in an
open automobile in the teeth OF a
freezing northwest gale, R. A. Nestos,
Independent candidate for governor
in the fecall election, was able to flll
four speaking dates in Mclean coun-
ty y, Monday, delivering an address at
wilton in the morning and Washburn
and Underwood in the afternoon and
at Garrison in the evening.
Good Crowds.
I He was greeted by good sized
crowds in all four towns, especially
at Garrison where the audience over
flowed the high school assembly hall
in which the meeting was held.
Mclean county has always boen one
OF the great strongholds Of the Nom
partisan league and there is no doubt
that the league will carry it again at
the recall election if the present in
dications are worth anything. How
ever. the league majority in the coun-
ty will be materially reduced. There
are two outstanding facts politically
regarding the town Of Garrison where
Mr.. Nestos spoke Monday night. One
Of these is that it is the home Of SEN
ator Fraser. one of the league lead
ers In the state senate, and the other
is that 1t was the site Of one of the
many branches Of the late lamented
Consumers United Stores. Co. @
Just how much of an asset the town
may find Senator Fraser is open to
discussion but there is no room for
discussion regarding the status of the
consumers store.
$50 Contributed.
Some $50 farmers Of the locality
contributed one hundred dollars each
in cash or notes to establish the con-
sumers store. When, the Consumers
United Stores Co. went into the hands
of receiver, these farmers were thus
left holding the bag to the extent Of
f1fty-f1ve thousand dollars. All they
have left to show for their money
and the store itself were doubtful as
sets at best, worth but very small
fraction of the amount contributed
by the farmers to put 1t in operation.
Also Had Experience.
" Underwood has also had some ex-
perience with the new day OF the
Nonpartisan league. The North Dako-
ia Home Builders association put UP
a house there at a cost which is said
to have been eight thousand three
hundred dollars and this in excess of
the amount permitted under the law.
"A local contractor declares that The
could have built the same house for
about six thousand six hundred dol
