TOWNLEY SAYS
LEAGUE FIzzLE
ADMITS RUN BY INCOMPETENTS
AND CROOKS WERE GREEN
AT GAME.

Lincoln, Nebr., Feb. pa. P.)-
In a speech which occupied three
hours A. G. Townley, national presi-
dent, told the Nebraska nonpartisan
league state convention here tonight
that the tactics now pursued by the
league make impossible any lasting
or substantial victory and that until
the fight can be- esshifted from the lea
que itself nothing can be won. He
said the thing to do is to play practi-
cal politics.
He said he was forced to this con-
clusion by the fact that in the first
place, the league can not win the
offices; secondly, if they do win them
they can not hold them, and that
lastly, "too many rascals and incom-
petents were put into office by the
league"
He said the league began it's ex-
istence by saying it would have no
dealings with politicians. "It went
out in the woods and got some mighty
green timber, some of which after
ward proved pretty rotten, and tried
to train it to play politics against
professionals.
have come to the conclusion"
said Townley, that the thing the
politicians want most-the office-is
the cheapest thing we can give them.
The power of our program is not pos
session of the offices but is in the
minds of the people. So far as I am
concerned the men we brought from
the woods as green timber can go
back. The league found itself worse
off when it got it's own men into Of
flee because they were utterly un-f
trained and some of us were unable
20 train them because we did not our
selves know practical politics of state
,raft.'
The speech of Mr.. Townley was the
'eature Of the convention. The inno- /
yations he proposed occasiOned lively /
comment by delegates, following his
departure for North Dakota. At a
ate hour tonight the convention ad-
ourned without having completed its
program.

ARTHUR middleton
INSPIRES HEARERS
AMERICAS GREATEST BARITONE
GIVES MOSCOW AUDIENCE
REAL PLEASURE

Arthur Middleton of the Metropoli-
tan Opera company won the name Of
Americas greatest baritone" with
Moscow and university people dis a
result of his recital Wednesday night
in the university auditorium before a
large sized crowd. Middleton's pow
erful voice, his dramatic ability, his
wonderful versatility of volume, and
his ready graciousness in responding
to the insistent encores, won him the
rapt attention of the audience.
Each song of the famous baritone,
called by many ''the second John Nc
Cormack," was appreciatively receiv-
ed and the insistent applause brought
the singer back after each group for
an encore.
Finished Dramatic Ability
In his first number the recit and
aria Arm, Arm Ye Brave" by Handel
his powerful voice and finished dra
matte ability was shown. His second
group of songs from the Italian
school was remarkably well given. OF
this group the well known Largo Al
Factotum" by Rossini, a most diff
cult song in its brilliancy of rapidity
and fire, was best received. In re-
spending to the encore Mr.. Middleton
said that he would sometimes repeat
a song that has been so generously
applauded but not that one" -
Stewart Willie, the pianist and ac-
companist, pleased as both. His solo
numbers came as the third group on
the program and his encore number
"a Song From the East" was partic
ularly good
SLOWS Ny Boy" Features
Three numbers by Homer featured
the fourth group of songs. THE
Banjo Song was a favorite and
Uncle Rome" was wonderful in its
lovliness of sentiment and music but
to many reached his PIN
nacle of expression in the terribly
dramatic "Hows My Boy"
Kipling ballads made up the fifth
and last group and Middleton sent the
crowd home with Danny Deever''
still ringing through their ears. Mid
1leton's representation of Mother
OMine'' will not soon be forgotten
by those present and the "Smuggler's
Song" and Follow Me 'ome" were
equally good.
Quite a feature in itself was Mid
lleton's speaking voice in it's reson-
ancy, depth and clearness. The art
SITS course committee should be con-
sratulated in bringing Middleton to
he university and Moscow.

talk President Hakan likened the
criticism of Idaho to the "tears of E

Fulton Gale, principal of the high
school, characterized the spirit be-
tween the university and the high
school as the finest kind of cooper
ative spirit"
Fine Cooperative Spirit"
"The colors of the high school and
the university together here on the
table are symbolical of the fine re-
lationship. Our high school students
are just as. loyal and root just as
hard for the university teams as do
the university students themselves
In turn the university students are
loyal to the high school and it is in
teresting to see university players
helping out the high school men by
friendly and worthwhile tip on a little
defect here and there
Coach Butler of the high school
made talk in which he expressed
appreciation of the chamber of COM
merce interest and introduced the
high school players, Leo Bumgarner,

REQUEST OPINION
FROM ROY BLACK
GENESEE HIGHWAY DISTRICT
CONTROVERSY REACHES STATE
HOUSE AT BOISE.

Taxpayers in the GeneSee highway
district in Latah county are divided
as to what procedure is necessary to
fill one vacancy and another expected
one on the districts board of commits
sioners, says the Idaho Daily States
man at Boise. Each faction has bonn
barded Roy l.. Black, attorney gener-
al, with letters, petitions, requests
and pleas for advice for the past few
weeks, ''The funny part" said Mr..
ing whatever to do with the matter"
1t seems that there has been dis
satisfaction with the way the present
board of commissioners has handled
the affairs of the district and a fac
ton of the taxpayers got busy and
started to see what it could do to get
the personnel of the board changed
Commissioner Resigns
One commissioner apparently saw
the impending storm and resigned.
This left two. One of the factions is
determined to see to it that another
member is relieved of his RESPONSE
bilties on the board and this will
leave but one Now both sides are
wondering how the two new commits
sioners will be placed in office and
they are seeking legal advice from the
general.
Mr. Black said Saturday that the
law provides that the board cannot
take any action unless quorum is
present and, as one member is not
quorum, the board itself can do moth
ing toward filling the vacancies His
of the law is that the
governor will have to appoint the new
members of the board just as would
be the case if the board were being
organized.
