The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1922-10-26


We read with growing alarm from
the league mouthpiece at Fargo that
the !. V. 4. meetings are being met
with poor crowds. How sad. Yet Gov.
Nestos had seven hundred or more
people out on Friday night in this city
with little advertising and several big
attractions going on at the same time.
The league organ forgot all about this
meeting, perhaps due to the fact that
the local expounder of untruths felt
ashamed to send in the real facts, in
the light Of other writeups said cor
respondent has been fabricating upon
The league papers are saying that
A. c.. Townley is out on the stump and
is getting down to the root OF things.
That's one time the league press told
the truth. He has been going down
to the root of things in the pocket
of the farmers for several years and
he is doing it yet. Just so long as
the farmers Of the state will dig up
the coin Arthur will get down to the
root of things-the root Of all evil
money. That's all the interest he has
in North Dakota-what he can get out
Of the people.

If the nonpartisan leaders have no
more evidence to offer to the people
of this state than they have already
offered to elect their candidates to
office on November 7th, we cannot
see where they have a chance to elect
single candidate. Up to this time
they have not brought forth a single
issue, they do not even try to explain
away all the recklessnesS and waste
occasioned during their administra-
ton, but they are using up space in
the newspapers and their orators are
spouting from the platforms, abuse
and deceit about those who compose
the fusion ticket.

The Courier News still insists that
the big mill and elevator will not be
running this week and that one man
went up to Grand Forks to investi-
gate but could not find that anything
had been completed and that practi-
cally nothing had been done so that
the mill could start That is a fine
statement to make and of course is
misleading like all other league state
ments are. The fact of the matter is
that the big mill and elevator, units
Of it, will be started up in the middle
of this week, Of course all the units
are not completed. Everybody will
admit that. But there are some units
that are in running order and the
wheels will turn. There will be a big
Qualification at Grand Forks on the
30th to celebrate the opening of the

up to Grand Forks to look over this
proposition no doubt believe that he
has set Of brains-but has he ever
seen them?

Consistency thou arr jewel. The
league orators and spell binders get
up on the platform and with great
vigor condemn Gov. Nestos because
the price Of wheat has gone down,
while at the same time they say moth
ing of wheat going down a dollar or
more bushel under the last year of
the Frazier administration. Then
again when wheat went up six cents a
bushel several days ago did the league
press acclaim the governor as a great
man for saving the people approxi-
mately seven million dollars based on
the total wheat crop Of the state? No,
they didn't. Absolutely forgot all
about it. But when Suffering Bill
Lenke as a member of the industrial

Courier-News headlined him as saw
ing the people several million dollars.

 Use a tested kidney remedy.
 Begin with Doan's Kidney Pills.

The kidney secretions passed irregularly and were unnatural in color. l used Doan's Kidney Pills from Farnum's Drug Store and they have never failed to drive the pains from my hips and back and regulate the ac- ton of my kidneys, putting them in good health"

his WIFE'S HUSBAND"

There's a well developed thread
Of mystery in His Wife's Husband. -
society drama which comes to the
Liberty theatre December (. and in
which Betty Blythe is being starred.
His Wifes Husband tells the
story of a beautiful girl whose first
was marriage of convenience-to
man who was attracted by her
physical charms and whom she left
as dead on the evening of her we'd
ding and whose second marriage was
a love match resulting in supreme
happiness which was threatened by
the appearance of a man bearing a
startling resemblance to her first
husband. The mystery thread is
woven in at this juncture and keys
the picture to a high pitch of dra-
matte emOtionalism.
