NO RECEIPTS, NO DEBATE.
Townley Refused to Debate in Long
Prairie When Told There Would
he M Admission CHARGED

1
Prairie When Told There Would
be No Admission Charged.
Townley refused to stage his show
in Long Prairie. The people in that
town were clever enough to make ar
engagements for his debate to be held
where everyone could hear it without
paying admission. The Long Prairie
Leader gives the following account OF
the fiasco: ~ % Let's !&.xI7:
The Townley-Langer debate was not
pulled off here Thursday night (June
29) as per schedule.
Townley refused to put on the show
unless there was chance to charge
SOC admission. When he found that
his local manager of arrangements,
Mr.. Hicks of the Tribune, had not ar
ranged for private tent for the ex-
hibition and that the fair grounds
were not available unless the people
were admitted without charge, he
cranked up his car, and together with
LANCER, left town.
"No gate receipts, no debate" seems
to be the new slogan of the boss of
the nonpartisan league. Anyway,
with splendid chance to discuss his
record before a Todd county audience
Thursday night, Townley fatty re-
fused to go onto the platform unless
he and his personal representatives
were permitted to take charge of the
| affair and exact an admission fee of
Soc from all who came to hear
The county fair officials did all in
their power to give the people of the
county an opportunity to hear Mr..
Townley discuss his political record
and the record Of his league. They
offered him the use of the fair grounds
with it's speakers stand and grand
stand FREE. It had been arranged to
have the grounds lighted for him
FREE also. Every effort had thus
been made to cooperate with Mr.
Townley to permit the people to hear
the debate. He could have put on his
exhibition without a penny of ex-
pense to himself except the cost Of
driving an automobile from Alexan-
dria to Long Prairie. He had put on
show at Alexandria in the afternoon
at which the gate receipts were some
thing over $500 but when he reached
Long Prairie in the evening and found
that there would be nothing for his
ticket takers to do, be fatty refused to
take the blanket off his man LANCER
and permit the show to be put on.
To further show the desire of local
people to cooperate with him so the
debate could have been pulled off and
all the people who had gathered given
a chance to hear him discuss his
league and it's record, he was offered
the use of the village park FREE. The
park is lighted and has a speakers
stand and is so located that a crowd
could be nicely accommodated. The
park is located less than two blocks
from where Townley made his head
quarters while in the village, so it

salt for its members and seven cream
cries have begun grading with view
to shipping large quantities Of one
standard to command a better market.
The most significant result Of coop
Grafton is, however, the influence
welded by this little unit of 20 cream
cries on the large markets. Already
three buyers, representing the New
York, the Boston and Philadelphia
markets, have come to us seeking the
business of the association"
When unit Of 20 creameries can
accomplish such results, officers of the
Minnesota Farm Bureau said today,
the new statewide association, de-
signed to include 500 to 600 local
creameries, should be able to save
large sums for Minnesota dairymen.

meet to discuss agricultural problems
of the middlewest.
The board of directors of the Mime

The relationship Of the farm bu-

and it's plans for establishing grain
sales agencies in the middle west is
the most important matter to come be-
fore the interstate conference.
Two far-reaching cooperative en-
terprises will be taken up by the Min

Grafton will pool orders for farmers
throughout the state and purchase
the winters fuel for a large part Of
rural Minnesota direct from the mines.
Under plans drafted by the American
Farm Buerau federation, farm bu-
reaus in coal producing states will en-
ploy buyers to handle orders from
other states, while deliveries to
individual farmers would be made
through present local dealers or
through cooperative elevators or
exchanges. The Minnesota directors
also will consider financing the launch
ing of the new statewide dairy mar
keting and service agency, the Min

bandit RETIRED and was granted a
concession for the lighthouses in the
Chinese quarter Of Tokyo, where today
the one-time bandit is wealthy and
