THURSDAY Y NIGHT III /
Paul J. Smith and Magnus Johnson
Talk Progressive Politics to .
Large Crowd

= Paul j., Smith, personal represent
ative OF Samuel Gompers, and Magnus
Johnson, Farmer-Labor candidate for
governor, addressed a. crowd = =. iastS
Thursday evening which crowded the
Masonic basement to the doors, many
being turned away for want of stand
ing room. .@, b..
Smith spoke first sketching the
struggle organized labor has had, and
how the politicians under the bi.par-.
tisan control of old line republicans
and democrats have played fast and
loose with them. He made forceful
presentation of the increasing dom
inion of the "Big Six in the CONNER.
cial life of the nation and showed.
where independence of the small bu-
siness man will soon be thing of the
past unless the common people assert
themselves. The farmer is absolute
ly at the mercy of this combination
now, and organized labor is making
desperate stand for their right to
voice under what conditions they
shall work. How closely the cause
of the farmer and the laborer are knit
together was brot out. Mr.. Smiths
address made profound impression
on his audience. =
Magnus johnson, the choice for
governor of the farm-labor forces, was
next presented and made a character
istic address, pledging himself: If el-.
ected to economy in state affairs, and
to the, cutting off of a large number Of
the Unnecessary inspectors" chasing
around the state. He emphasized his
opposition to the state police. He felt
he was among friends among the peo-
pie Of his neighbor county, who are
familiar with his efforts to rally the
farmers to help themselves by organ
ization. Mr.. johnson has long been
one of the leading men in the Equity
movement, the struggle in North Da-
kota of which led up to the rallying of
progressive forces in a political way.

Mr.. Young and L. D. Barnard Of Rem

for the city. The question at. issue is
whether or not the law Of 1918 govern
ing appointment. of ex-services men
takes from ,the1city council or other
governing bodies the right to use their
discretion in making appointments.
Members of thezcity council were call
ed to- testify as:to the competency of
Mr.. Young. The attorneys $ were CIV
en- twenty days.in which to prepare
briefs and then Judge Daily will rem
der his decision in due time. Very
likely the case will go to the Supreme

sirous Of having the law passed on by
that tribunal. In the meantime the
City of Wiumar must pay expenses
and busy men lose valuable time in
order to. settle a question that any
person with ordinary common sense
knows should not be raised at all.
