SAY TOWNLEY FAILS

Fargo, March 9.-Reports of the
precinct meetings held by the league
memb bers in North Dakota on Feb
ruary % and March 4 indicate that
the "green timber" President A. c..
Townley Of the National Nonpartisan
league is ridkuling- at his meetings
over the state these days, is held in
very high esteem by the rank and
file of the organizations. AS these re-
ports continue. to come INTO the state
headquarters. the unanimity with
which the leaguers endorse the rec
ord of these green dubs" because
more striking. The Overwhelming
ma ajority of the league members not
only are whole-heartedly; in favor of
the league program according to
these reports, but they seem to want
more such state administration.

Burch was asked to "bring the
friend I had last summer" Fricke
said: |
"What Burch brought with him
was a shotgun That's the friend
of last summer
Fricke argued that it was the first
shot fired that killed Kennedy, and
called the jury's attention to testi-
mony given at the trial by medical
experts who stated that Kennedy's
death was instantaneous.
''It was therefore impossible for
Kennedy to have called, Good night
Mazzlyn' after the first shot, as Mrs.
Obenchain told you he did" Fricke
told the jury. "But there was some
one there to say; Good; night, MAJ
zlyn' after this shot crashed into
Kennedy as he lay there bleeding
and dead. That was Arthur Burch.
1t was he who called and it was
Bureh's Good night GAazzlyn' that
this defendant heard" = r.. -.

paid in thfrty-fOur years; but the
farmer could pay any part of the
sum borrowed at any interest pay
ing date, or could pay it in full after
the first five years.
II the farmer could be properly
financed it would go long ways in
solving the marketing problem.
For Governmental Experiments
am firm believer in the pr:n-
ciples that tho government should
aid in making experiments with the
products Of our country, both natural
and manufactured products.
When it Is considered what certain
countries in Europe have done in the
field of experimentation Zone coun-
try III particular employed $1,000
chemists for period of 20 years TO
perfect a Ho.ca]led vat dyes), neither
our state nor the federal government
are doing anything to develop our
latent industries. Take Ignite coal
for instance; if the coal fields Of
North Dakota were fully developed
the financial conditions in our state
would be changed and believe that
liberal appropriations should be
made by our state to develop the lig-
mite coal industry. Every family,
rich and poor, must have fuel. l am
quite certain that the price of coal
could be reduced 40 per cent to the
consumer and still yield more profit
to the operators than It does today.
What Aids Farmers Benefits AL
North Dakota is an agricultural
state. Our people are engaged en-.
tirely in this basic industry, and any
legislation adverse to the agricul-
tural interests will ultimately be
harmful to all our people. 1t cannot
therefore be argued that legislation
which is economically sound and
beneficial to the farmer is class legis-
latfon because legislation which is
helpful to the farmer will benefit all
classes of our people. It's not SO
with legislation which grants special
privileges to organize business. Let
US consider the question of transpor-,
5tation. OF banking and finance. Leg
islation Of q special character may
temporarily benefit transportation
companies. The same is true. with:
reference TO banking and finance.
Legislation granting special priyil:a
eyes TO- such corporal atoms rs ! have
mentioned. and to others, may, for a;i
time, be; benea acial to their institu--S

NTadalynne In Tears


Tears came to the eyes of Mrs.
Madalynne Obenchain as she listened
to the opening argument in her be-
half. Alfred F. Macdonald, who
made the argument dwelt upon the
love which, according to testimony
existed between the defendant and
Kennedy, declaring it showed she
had no motive for plotting Ken
nedy's death. t..
One of the three women on the
jury wept when Macdonald read a
letter Kennedy wrote to Mrs. Oben-
chain, containing the appeal:
'Love me always" The attorney
declared that states theory that
Mrs. Obenchain was "a woman
scorned," had been disproved> and
that "if anything, this was case of
a man scorned." E,.t
Macdonald resumed his argu-
,ment today. He will be followed by
Jud r. Rush, senior defense coun-
sci, who will address the jury for
the rest of the day. Asa Keyes, dep
uty district attorney, will make the
final argument Thursday.
Charles w: Frike, deputy district
attorney, closed the first argument
for the state Tuesday, appealing to
the jury to render a verdict "in
accordance with the evidence"
Adopts 1.-TWO Men, Theory
There probably. has never, been
case, Macdonald said, in which a
greater love and affection appeared
than the present trial. -.
"If it hadn't, been for the efforts
of Kennedy's parents to prevent it,"
MarDonald declared, ."these two
souls would have been married to-
day; and probably had one or two
little ones running around this
court house - - g
: Mr.. Macdonald sprung a surprise
when he announced what he would
do in his argument today. His last
words to the jury today were:
II am going to show you, out of
the mouths of the states own wit
nesses in this case, that J. Bolton
Kennedy met his death in Beverly
Glen at the hands of two roughly
dressed men, just as Madalynne OBJ
enchain said he did,
When court convened Tuesday,
Mrs. Obenchain looked more as she
did during the first days OF her
trial. Apparently knowing that SO
far as her personal efforts were con-
cerned, the trial was over, she came
into court smiling, The tired and
worried look she had worn since
taking the witness stand in her own
defense had vanished. 81
Resuming his argument, Mr..
Fricke referred to Mrs. Obenchain's
story as a canned statement" and
asserted it was made to order" and
had been planned"
Shotgun Was ''Friend"
Mrs. Obenchain sent for Burch
Fricke said, because she realized
she was in a peculiar position"
having obtained a divorce and told
friends of her love for Kennedy.
The greatest thing in her mind,
Fricke declared, was to meet Burch
at the train when he arrived here in
July, 1921, and tell him her troubles
with Kennedy. After Burch heard
her story the greatest purpose he
had, Fricke said, was to watch ey-
cry movement Kennedy made.
Referring to the telegram Mrs.
Obenchain sent Burch shortly before

 As to Russia, while it is known that she desired American represen : tation it is not thought likely that she will risk losing her long sought opportunity to re-enter the confer cncc of the powers by declining to take part in the Genoa gathering
 Newspaper Comment @
 The Evening News in it's comment on the American refusal says:
 "Thc people of the United States and also those of Europe are to be congratulated upon Americas de- cision. It. is to be hoped that our Downing street dope establishments will not state or insinuate that the United States has turned it's back upon Europe because it does not intend to be represented at Genoa. Any at tempts of that kind might encourage American statesmen to turn thelr backs upon Europe
 The Genoa conference, the Evening News continues, is unpopular in the nitcd States and when it was sprung on the world at Cannes as BrltSh electionecring trick" America had not been consulted.
 Besides" adds the newspaper, the Americans do not like Bo'sheNism, communism or any other form of social destruction. They cannot un- dcrstand why other peoples whose social systems are still comparatively intact should want to rub shoulders at thc conference tables with the zealots or criminals who have Tn Russia carried Bolshevism to It's logical development in famine ana cannlbalsm.
