OMEMEE ITEMS

J. F. Nehring returned on Wednes-
day from Pay~nesville, Mimi, where
he was suddenly called by the death
of his mother. He reports that there
is still snow several feet deep in parts
of that country and times are just as
hard as here.
Various reports from the west in
dictate that our townsman-W. d.
Nicholson-has struck it rich in
south California. Four years ago he
acquired some very valuable farm
land there and traded in one of his
Omemee farms at $75 per acre on the
deal. He also got 20 acres in the city
of Long Beach before the oil discov-
cry there and L. C. Holz, who just
returned from there, reports that
"The Nicholson property is worth
from one to one hundred million dol
lars" This is the highest report we
have heard but we are all glad to
hear of his splendid success. Mr.. Mich
olson is of Scotch origin, was born
in Ontario in 1860, and was one of
the early settlers in Dakota. In the
spiritual field he was an enthusiastic
Methodist but he except his powder
day." He was a real student and IN
vestigator and never neglected to pick
up everything he could lay his hands
on in the line of useful information.
The big oil flow struck at Kelvin,
Mont, on March the 18th is close to
Dunkirk and Farrell, where Frank
Kitchen, a former Bottineau County
man, and several others in this coun-.
ty own considerable property.
At the Parents and Teachers meet
ing on the night of March 31st, some
papers of considerable merit were
read and some parents suggestions,
especially those of Mr.. Ebenhahn and
Mr.. Welin, were of a really useful
nature. Mr.. Arthur Milloy spoke at
great length ON many subjects. He
had notions on how best to compel
pupils to confess in cases where they
had e other children destroying
property and he stated that dress re-
form for both teachers and students
should be carefully considered. His
seemed to be that after such a
long run of hard times it might not
be possible for some girls to wear
their skirts much longer yet, he would
certainly view with alarm any at

Fargo, N. D.-Sensational develop
ments were unfolded this week in the
hearing Of Pres. Townley, charged
by Attorney General johnson with
embezzlement of three thousand dol
lars from the Scandinavian American
Bank at Fargo. While the state was
dwelling at. length on Townley's al
legged connection with the Sisal Trust,
and thus seeking to prove a motive"
for his alleged aid to J. j. Hastings,
the court interrupted the states coun-
sci to rule that since johnson had new
er shown that any embezzlement ex-
listed or had taken place. it would be
a little difficult to prove that Town.
ley had any motive for assisting Hast
ings to obtain the funds alleged to
have been embezzled. State counsel
fastened to assure the court that
they had made adequate showing
which should convince any reasonable
Judge that money had been embezzled
from the bank, but the court refused
to be convinced until real evidence
was produced. This the state could not
produce. Judge Cole remarked that
the attempts of Johnson's attorneys
to fasten an embezzlement charge on
Townley were like a lawyer trying to
convict a mar of murder before it
was proven that any victim had been
killed.
President Townley and his counsel,
Atty's Simpson and Lauder, have re-
peatedly challenged Johnson to pro-
duce evidence showing embezzlement,
this Johnson had consistently failed
to do, but has made an effort to con-
Wet Townley by showing that he
might have a motive to commit en-
bezzlement, provided embezzlement
had actually taken place. While he has
not even proved this charge in his
efforts, it has been made plain to the
Attorney General, that he must find
a better basis of attack than that, if
he wishes to railroad Townley. Pres.
Townley was acquitted at the hearing
| held in the Fargo District Court re-
Gently.

The League convention which closed
at Fargo, last Saturday, was in many
respects the most momentous ever
held in the state. For months prior
to the convention, fractional strife
within the League, threatened to dis
rupt the organization. Delegates ar
irving at the convention found League
leaders facing each other with hostil-
ity, each apparently determined to
control the policies Of the organiza-
ton at all costs. For three days, the
convention wrestled with the internal
problems confronting it, then sudden
ly found themselves united, with en-
thusiastic, ready for a victorious
campaign. How did it happen? Did
Townley's sueech do it,, partly, but
not altogether. The real secret behind
the, wonderful success of the Fargo
convention, was that the farmers of
this state, are forced by economic
conditions, to bury all difference, and
seek a way out of their impossible
condition. Because bankruptcy faced
most of them, fractional differences,
look small, when it comes to deciding
upon plans and policies for their po-
Htical campaign. Political action is
the only way in which the farmer has
become schooled to fight his ecnom-
ic battles. That being the case he can
not afford to allow minor differences
TO interfere with his program. No one
can doubt the strength of the ticket
named at Fargo. All walks of life are
represented ON it, and every section
OF the state has named its man for an
official position. With Lynn J. Fra
zier leading the campaign as candi-
date for U. s. Senator, nothing can
beat that ticket, provided the farm
1 and workers will not forget that
enthusiasisln alone does not win cleo
lions. Action Is what counts most in
amy campaign and it is action that
will decide the success or failure Of
the League ticket .
We cannot afford another defeat
should the Opposition be successful
~ this campaign, nothing but q bal
a1ace Of power organization, remains
possible for us. We want to avoid that.
We want our own men III office. Men
who we can trust to carry out the
principles of Industrial Democracy
upon which the League is founded.

Chairman Leiderbach had careful
ly planned his campaign, and appar-
emily felt certain of success. During
his all day address to the convention
he remarked that he hoped Messrs.
Townley, Maddox, Walker and Lem
Ike, would not leave the organization.
after they were defeated, as they
might be made Isl of yet, if they re-
manned.
Fully two-thirds of the delegates
appeared to be in sympathy with
Liederbach at the beginning of the
convention. Anti-Liederbach forces
had their chief strength in central
state counties. Burleigh, Morton,
Ward, Mclean, Oliver, Mercer, being
especially bitter against the Execu-
tive Committee.
Following Chairman Liederbach's
speech, R. FL. Walker, minority men,
Der of the committee took the floor
in defense, he talked two hours, and
at the close Of his speech, it was ap-
parent that Liederbach had lost
ground. A vote at this juncture how
ever would very likely have resulted
in a victory for L~iederbach however
1t was not until the close of Pres.
Townley's speech that Liederbach's
defeat was apparent. Delegates who
heard him declare Townley delivered
the best speech of his life, he did
not flay Liederbach in the same way
in which the Chairman had launched
his attack, but the old chief, master
of satire always, was able to cruelty
his enemies without recourse to abuse
At the close of the speech, some OF
the delegates were observed to be in
tears, and when Townley announced
his intention of resigning, scores of
delegates jumped to their feet in pro-
test. Townley's speech signify and to-
tally defeated the executive commit
tee. From that moment on, A. G.
ToWnley was master of the conven-
tion.
After the committee had been dis
posed of, and a new committee elected
the convention took up the matter of
nominating candidates. The balance of
power was not brought up by Townley
nor considered by the convention. The
entire delegation seemed determined
to nominate an entire ticket. The slate
started off with Frazier for U. s.
Senator, Gronna's name not being
mentioned. Frazier was rapidly fol-
lowed with Senator Baker for Cover
nor, Rep. Bowman of LaMoure coun-
ty, Lieutanent Governor, II. II. Aaker
of Grand Forks, for Secretary Of
State, Peter Garberg of Hettinger Co.

Miners DISAGREE
over ALEX HOWA1

indianapolis, Feb. 2l.-Continued fl
nancial support, at least until April l,
was pledged today to Alexander How
att and other expelled Kansas dele
gates to the union convention, which
in its final session refused to consider
Howatt's appeal for union reinstate-
ment. The pledge was given unanim-
ously by the Illinois delegation and
came as climax to long meeting
marked by several speeches condemn.
ing President John l.. Lewis and other
international union officials, who ex-
pelled Howatt and his followers on
the ground of their refusal to obey q
convention order directing that the
strikers be ordered back to work.
President Frank Harrington Of the
Illinois district told the delegates that
Howatt was expelled for opposing the
Kansas industrial court and he an
nounced that emo greater outrage"
vas ever practiced than that of the
international officers against the Kan.
sas miners.
The Illinois delegation elected eight
members of the international union
wage scale committee for the central
competitive field. This committee,
composed also Of members from the In
diana and Western Pennsylvania dis
tricts, will attempt to negotiate an
agreement to avert strike April l.
Mr.. harrington, in his speech on the
Kansas case, declared that the dele
gates to the international union con
ventioh were returning home with a
tremendous dissension within the union
ranks because of failure to consider
the Howat appeal. Hc charged that
the "high -handed' tactics of President
Lewis in blocking consideration of the
appeal had caused the disscnsion.
"The Kansas miners were on strike"
said Harrington, giving his version Of
the case, "because they would not bow
in mock submission to the Kansas in
dustrial court. The Kansas miners
were not on strike in defiance Of any
mandate Of an international conven.
ton, but decided year before the
1921 convention that they would go on
strike If any Officials wont to Jail for
dcfying that industrial court law.

would BE- strike the instant anyone
went to jail for defying that law"
