CHURCH
HOLDS MEETING

Twelve nOnpartlsans, one socialist
and three independents, including the
)Times-Record representative, heard
Senator w. J. Church at the City Hall
yesterday afternoon in an attempt to
offer some reasonable explanation for
voting for Lynn J. Frazier for the
United States Senate. Senator Church
seemed to shy at mention of William
Lemke's name and did not urge his
election at any great length, evidently
feeling that Lemke's position was un-
Iexplainable.
Senator Church took up large part
of his time condemning the present
administration for not loaning over
two million dollars on farm loans dur
ing the eigth months they have been
in office, stating that there was no
reason why they could not have loaned
at least ten million dollars in that
length of time. He failed to mention,
however, that Frazier, Lemke, ct al,
had only loaned a like amount in a
little over two years when they con-
trolled the department. He condemn
ed the administration for annulling the
last minute sale of bonds by the retir-
ling administration at six per cent,
saying that any farmer would be glad
to pay that amount of interest for a
loan. His statements in this regard
were rather contradictory in that he
explained that an additional one and
one half per cent would retire the
principal in a certain number Of years
and at the same time admitted that
the present administration had saved
one half of one percent in the interest
rate on the bonds in addition to the
discount which the leaguers had al
lowed.
He took advantage of the opportuni-
ty to give George Rasmussen boost
for the legislature from the fifteenth
district and condemned P. Z. Trub-
shaw because he, Church, had never
heard that Mr.. Trubshaw had ever
MIXED cows OF lived on a farm. He
also stated that the Times Record was
opposed to socialistic principles-and
he was right-and yet this paper was
in hearty accord with the law govern
ing the prices to be paid for legal
printing. He claimed that this law
was socialistic. Shortly before he had
stated that the principle that public
utilities should be governed by the
state was not socialistic as they were
public necessities but he failed to men,
ton that legal printing was a public
necessity and should come under the
same head.
Senator Church's condemnation of
the present administration was contra
dictory and childlike in the extreme
and not worthy of serious attention.
A few more speeches here on the same
order, providing crowd could be got
ten out to hear him, would insure a
large majority for the independent
candidates in Barnes county on Nov.
18th.
