Color is given to this idea by the

Later reports from the league con-
ve4tion confirm the early predictions
that A. c. Townley's balance of power

conventions. With nearly four-fifths
of the counties in the state heard
from, 80 delegates are instructed
against the plan, and about SO more
were elected from counties which

their delegates. $s,p
The Courier-News this morning
claims that fully half Of the cot dele
gates who will make up the state con-
vention next Thursday will have in
struction to oppose the balance Of
power proposition.
None of the counties from which
reports have thus far been received
has instructed it's delegates to support
Townley's plan.
How About Townley?
The action taken by the county con-
ventions Of the league makes it plain
that Townley's balance of power plan
has been overwhelmingly rejected but
cannot be taken at this time as yet
to mean that Townley has been elm
mated as a factor in the league state
convention. Although the rank and
file have rejected his plan there are
indications that large numbers are still
strong for Townley personally, and
that the old leader still stands very
good chance Of coming out Of the ap-
preaching convention as the dominant
figure of the North Dakota league
The rejection of the balance Of pow:
er plan, however, seems in many cases
! to be due chiefly to dislike on the
Epart of the rank and tfle Of the leagSe
for Senator P. j. McCumber in whose
interest it was popularity believed a
