The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1922-10-12

believe that this paper can best serve
the county in this capacity. We can
give the official proceedings earlier
than any other paper and we have the
largest circulation Of any paper in the
county. The Times-Record is the pio-
neer paper of the county and has done
the best it knows how to represent the
people. For years it has been denied
the official paper on account Of polit
ical partizanship and we are going to
ask the voters for their support for
this paper next month. We think we
are entitled to this recognition at this
time.
In the fall of 1920 wheat dropped
over a dollar a bushel, but the indie
pendent press, much as they disliked
Mr.. Frazier, did not accuse the non.
partisan governor of being to blame
for the price of wheat dropping. Grain
has dropped very much this fall with
Gov. Nestos at the head Of the state
government, but the present governor
has no more to do with the low price
of wheat than has the inhabitants of
the Fiji islands. The league press is
very industriously trying to throw the
blame for the low price Of wheat upon
the shoulders Of Gov. Nestos, hoping
to stir up the farmers in order to get
support for the league ticket. We
hardly think that kind of campaign
will work out very satisfactorily.
The Courier News has been insist
ing for some time-ever since he
served time in Minnesota Jail for Sc
dition-that A. C. Townley was not
in any way the leader of the nonpar-
tisan league but was merely one of
the "hired men" who had been engage

"This is the first address by the LEA

of the league is but we do wish it
would quit contradicting itself. Ev-

protestations to the contrary but we
are glad to see that paper come out
honestly and proclaim it to the world
"Our Democratic brethren are hav-
ing hard time deciding just where
to stand on the question of deflation,"
says the Republican Publicity Associ-
alton, through its President, Hon. Jo-
nathan Bourne, Jr. "When it was
first charged that the Wilson admin
istration had precipitated deflation,
the charge was vehemently denied by
high authorities. Then few weeks
later it was asserted by an equally
high Democratic authority that the
only mistake was that the admins
tration did not start the deflation
sooner. Now new position is taken.
1t is charged that the deflation, which
was precipitated several months be-
fore the Republican administration
came into power, was brought abou.
by Republicans. However, there will
be no possibility Of removing from
the minds of American farmers tie
recollection that they were hard hit
in the Summer and Fall of 1920 and
that they experienced no degree of re-
covery whatever until the Harding adj
n1inistration took three measures of
relief; enactment of an emergency ag-
ricultural tariff, revival of the War
Finance Corporation land increase Of
funds for the Farm Loan Board"
David DeHaven, VINO has been man.
ager of the Western Newspaper Union
at Fargo for the past five years, has
resigned to become member of the
Knight Printing Company at Fargo
and manager of this large business.
The newspaper boys have nothing but
the finest feeling for David who has
proven himself to be prince of good
fellows and personally we are going to
miss the very kindly relations we have
enjoyed while he has been with the
W. N. U. But there is bright side
to it, just the same, and that is the
fact that he is to remain at Fargo
where we can get in touch with him
