one time editor of the Des Laos paper,
and Mr.. Demaree having previously
figured out together how to organize
a real democratic nonpartisan organic
alton, told Alec Bowen about it, Bow
en- told Townley about it, and the lat
ter capitalized it. Bowen confirmed
this story by claiming that "Townley
got the idea from him, Bowen.
During the campaign of 1920 at a
small town between Minot and Ken
mare while the league candidates were
on campaign spiel, Mr.. Demaree said
in speech in substance: "There is
no reason why there should be any
ill-feelings against townspeople or
fight on merchants and bankers. We
should court good feelings and arrive
at the truth - thus accomplishing
things political and friends at the
same time" When he finished he
was told by the manager or rather die
tator, to 90 home-in short he was fit
to slop hogs but not to make league
speeches.
Now, even the high dictator of the
league, has discovered that teachings
of ill-feelings, hatred and the like will
not secure following to the N. P. L.
In short, Mr.. Demaree leads again.

Demaree Leads Again

Berthold, March 8.
To The Independent: $3.50.
According to your last weeks issue
Mr.. Townley has discovered that his
league has been the cause of too much
hate, ill-feelings, and the like. He
deserves credit for being honest
enough to acknowledge it.
Mr.. N. j. Demaree four years ago
told the writer, just how the nonparti-
san league got started: 1t was this
way: During winter of 1914-15, the
socialist local in Minot had rumpus
over missing funds ("owned in COM
mon") and which broke the local. In
early spring of 1915, Alec Bowen, the
lost candidate on socialist ticket in
N. D. for governor, went out to Mr.,
Demaree's farm to discuss reorganiza-
ton, how, ETC., Of the socialist party

talk interest to both fathers and
sons, and of particular interest to old
settlers. DR.. Smyth was an inhabit-
ant of North Dakota when the mail for
this section Of the country had to be

talk on hygiene was illustrated by the
splendid poster exhibit prepared by
the government in the interests of the
keeping Fit" campaign instituted
during the war and continued since
