Leader He Says

Minneapolis, May 2.-(R-The trail
of the organizer again is calling A.
c. Townley. who is launching a revival
of the Nonpartisan league which he
led is years ago.
The oratorical fire of the nan who
stepped from an isolated wheat farm
to political leadership Of a state still
is alive. Starting with a campaign
through the smaller towns of Min
nesota, North Dakota, Iowa and Ne
braska, Townley is aiming at reor-
g%anization of the once-powerful
league.
His gift for showmanship, which
made his appearances In farm com

Here are samples from his newest

which the foundation Of the new
league will rest:
Fifteen years ago the Nonpartisar
league was organized to fight monop.

solution of our problem was to g

that everything was all right and oul
troubles were but temporary. So
quit.
Conditions went from bad to wors'
and now the people m again looking
for leadership. They are raElGiy find

in interest that they have nothing
left to live on.
"When I resigned from the Non
partisan league I thought l woule
never come back. I couldn't get
hearing then, but I have found tina
people want us to come back and SHOW
them q way out. They are ready tt

so before. I finally have decided thai
there is nothing else to do but come

preted in some circles as a gesture

Roosevelt generally is conceded at
present to be leading for the DEM
ocratic presidential nomination next
year. He has been considered in
prohibition areas to be safe" be-
cause he has not been as vociferouS
along that line as some others. He
has not been connected with "the

friends in the west.
The one delicate spot lay in his
possible link with Tammany, arch
demon to voters all over the coun-
try. Republicans have attempted
to connect him with Tammany, and
through Tammany with the New
York City scandals. His friends
had hoped the Walker case would
give him an opportunity to assert
his independence from that Or
ganization.
Instead he threw out the charges
of prominent New Workers on the
ground that they were too general
and to a large extent involved

This, it is said will be interpreted
by his opponents as constituting
Subservience to the Tiger.

BOND LIST STRONG
At SHORT SESSION
Rail Group Receivers Part of
Loss Incurred In Re-
cent Trading.
By DONALD C. BOLLES,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE bond
market resumed its upward march today
and was more active than usual in q
week end session.
The most indicative price move
ments appeared in the railroad group,
which had receded in the Immediately
preceding sessions after the reduction
in the quarterly dividend Of the New
York Central from 90 to $3.50 on We'd
nesday. Erie IS of 1867 recovered about
2 points on few sales. Southern Rail-
way Is Of 1856, Pennsylvania series D
Az, st. Louis-San Francisco AIS OF
1878 and Southern Pacific first As were
fractionally higher.
Strength was just as apparent among
industrial liens. Goodrich 61as, Good
year S. International Match IS, Liggett
& Myers SIS and Standard Oil OF New
York AIS were firm or higher. Some
industrials sold of. but declines were
distinctly in the minority.
Most stock privilege issues followed
the stock market to higher levels.
Warner Bros. Pictures 6s made another
new recent high at 59ls, representing a
gain of more than points. Most OF
the other gains in this group were
fractional.
Foreign obligations were quiet with a
declining tendency United States Gov
eminent loans were dull The Treasury
3%s Of 1947 weakened. Utility issues
were steady.

for day laborers and skilled mechanics.
The logical effect of this, along with
the disbursement of the soldiers bonus
funds, is an increase in the purchasing
power CT the country and the reduction
Of debts contracted when incomes were
cut of.
There has been no momentum in IN
dustry for months. It may be supplied
by the public works program, which al
ready has been responsible for some OF
the increase in the ratio Of production
Of the iron and steel companies. The
most promising conditions are in the
automobile and textile industries. Re-
tail trade last month showed some in
crease and more disposition on the part
of the public to release funds which 1t
had kept tight hold of during the period
Of widespread banking failures.
The advance N the price of silver
and the recovery at the end Of the week
in copper metal have been the favorable
elements in the commodity price situa-
ton, which shows more signs of stabil-
izing. Heavy snowfalls over the Winter
wheat States and moisture In the South
ern areas have improved the crop situa-
tons and developed a more confident
mood among the people Of those sec
tons Of the country.
In spite OF some advance In money
rates this week, large bond issues have
been taken up quickly, though at the
expense Of older securities Again the
investment market is suffering from an
excess of offerings.

In the domestic list the chief havoc
