GREE PRESS STOCKHOLDERS
TO MEET

/ j.. M. Stewart, secretary of the
Emmons County Farmers Press cor
poration, publishers of the Free Press,
has call appearing in that paper for
a meeting of stockholders at the court
house next Monday afternoon at /
o'clock. 1t is understood that Mr..
Stewart expects to take up with the
stockholders the matter of his con-
tract for a sale on the Free Press
plant from which he has large
amount of money due him, and which
is long over due. When the news
paper law became effective and the
league state printing commission was
given the right to choose one official
newspaper in each county of the state
which was to have the exclusive right
of publication of all forms of legal
printing, league representatives
closed deal with Mr.. Stewart for
the Free Press before they would
make the appointment. Later, sew.
eral league enthusiasts signed notes
for several thousand dollars to pur.
chase the Hazelton Republican. They
bought it at high figure and con.
solidated it with the Free Press. Mr..
Stewart did not receive his pay, and
holds a contract against the Free
Press end of the outfit. The notes
given to secure funds for the pay.
ment Of the purchase price of the
Republican are long overdue and con.
siderable accrued interest is unpaid
When the Free Press failed to secur.

the fall Of 1920, it's stony financia
path became still more troublesome
and the concern is now a good man,

Stewart remained in charge of tn,

NESTOS CANDIDACY HELD
REAL N. D. TEST
McCumber's Defeat Doesn't Indicat
Nonparty Strength Return,
Declares Ja6fray.

Minneapolis Journal: Defeat Of
Senator p. j. McCumber in North
Dakota in no way indicates a return
to strength by the Nonpartisan
league in the state, G.. T. Jaffray,
president of the First National Bank,
said today. The real test lies en-
tirely in Governor Nestos' candidacy,
he said.
"Mr. McCumber has been consider
ed friendly to the Nonpartisan league
by many people, and when the good
people Of North Dakota were work
ing their heads off, giving time and
money to bring about the recall, Sen
ator McCumber did not turn in and
help" Mr.. Jaffray said. "These men
naturally felt that Mr.. McCumber's
lack of interest in the financial and
business standing Of North Dakota
which at that time was at stake, did
not entitle him to their support; that
he was in the same class with Fra
zier. so far as politics was concerned
"The instant response by the finan.
cial world to the North Dakota finan.
cial requirements was apparent as
soon as the recall was successful
can't see any way in which the
defeat of McCumber could affect the
credit and standing of North Dakota
/ am sure the present government
of the state, headed by Mr.. Nestos
will manage wisely the finances OF
the state, and not jeopardize the in.
vestments in North Dakota. While
we all regret the appearance Of 9
Nonpartisan Lacquer in the senate
we must bear in mind that Nortf
Dakota has a good governor, and tina
capital invested and money Loaned
there will be safeguarded as in tn
past. @
II am anxious to distinguish in tn
minds Of the public between the sue
cess Of Governor Nestos, which de-
termines the states financial policy
and the defeat of Mr.. McCumber
which means nothing. The Nonpar
tisan. league in North Dakota has moi
come back"

BIG CROWD HERE FOR CELE.
BRATION

A large, crowd from all parts Of
the county assembled in Linton Tues
day to celebrate the Fourth at See
man Park. There were probably
close to $50 automobiles here, which
indicated nearly three thousand peo-
pie. At the ball games, automobiles
entirely surrounded the playing field,
and hundreds Of cars were parked out
side. The ball games were the main
attractions, although few races, ETC.,
were arranged. Crowds always seem
well satisfied, however, to spend most
of their time loafing in the trees at
the park and enjoying picnic dinners.
