The boy looked Mt the girl. They

their desire to take a crack at some
of the large taxpayers in the big
cities, they overlooked what the re-
fundment meant to country counties
like Todd. Happily the narrow and
prejudiced policy Of the League lead

ton carried. AS result "ndd coun-
ty taxpayers are just $4,000 ahead.

EXCHANGE CLIPPINGS

..aH'' =. -.
Todd county is to get back $780,
900 from the state for road money
the county has expended on roads of
the Babcock system.
The last legislature authorized re-
fundment to those counties of money
they spent on roads of the Babcock
system, provided the work done was
up to the regular highway standards.
All of the work done in Todd county
over these roads met with the state
requirments so the total expenditures
are to be refunded. Bonds have been
issued from time to time to pay these
costs, so the state will relieve the
county by taking over the bond pay
ments itself.
There was considerable opposition
to this refundment effort by Non Par
tisan League papers on the ground
that some of the large counties would

ST. PAUL LETTER

St. Paul, May 9-Undoubtedly, the
hardest blow yet received by the A.
C. Townley aggregation and It's rad
ical auxiliaries is the party conVen-
ton law passed by the legislature.
This act while in no way infringing
on the state wide primary tends to
party solidarity and that it hurts IS
shown in screaming head lines in the
Minnesota Leader and other Nonpar-
tisan League publications the chief
burden of which is "The Betrayal OF
the Common People" For better
than five years now "The Common
People" have been Mr.. Townley's one
meal ticket and any interference IS
naturally resented. The body blow
to radicalism as administered by the
legislature if found in the words
endorsed by - Convention, a
designation permitted on the regular
June primary ballot and which Will
proceed the names of those partisan
candidates only having the endorse
ment of their particular party in con-
vention assembled. AS to the regular
June primaries and the law governing
the same, which has not been changed
in the least, filings will be permitted
as of old and under any party deslg-
nation which the. candidate may see
fit to select, but his appeal to the
people will be on-~a proposition OF
merit and not as a party misfit which
has been the Townley practice in the
past. Convention participation by
prospective candidate for a state pol
itical office is not mandatory, but nc
filings for such office can be made
until after the conventions are held
The convention law is made applicable
to all political parties with lega
standing and must be proceeded by
regularly constituted primary al
which delegates to the same will be
chosen. The entire primary and con,
vention machinery is under. state reg
ulation. Townley's success to date
has been his ability to make filings
for public office under any party des-
ignation which he saw fit to adopt
In every state in which his crowd OPP
Grated the dominant party has been
picked and in the five years Of his po-
litical activity not a party bet has
been overlooked. In Minnesota the
Republican party has been his selec-
ton and his candidates everything
but Republican in principle. From
now on, however, there will be no
more sneaking under the tent. 1t is
the end. Townleyism is through.
Mark you-Through.
To Governor Preus perhaps belongs
the greatest credit for the passage
of this political convention law
which,, by the way, only relates to
offices of political character. While
the bill had a fairly safe margin in
the Senate, radical interests menaced
it in the House and it was only by
aggressive work on the part of Gov
ernor Preus that it was gotten by in
the body. Primary election reform
was one of the chief features of his
excellency's inaugural address and he
was insistant as to legislative action
Similar demand was made by the
elimination convention which named
Governor Preus as the Republican
standard bearer. His excellency wa!
