1 RE PAGES, = BOSS TOWNLEY TS WHISTLING ~ TO FOOL SELF Reports From All Sections of State Leave No Doubt That «His House Is Crumbling vee FAILS: TO RUIN LANGER Desperate Attempts to Discredit Attorney General in Home County Farcical In spite of the bold front put on by the Townley publications, it is well understood in political circles that the “big boss” is not as confident of the outcome of the election to be held next month as would appear—like the small boy and the graveyard, he is making a good deal of noise to keep up ‘his own courage. The facts are that he has lost the first of two skirmishes of the battle. During the closing days of the legisla- tive assembly, Walter Thomas Mills conducted a school for “Townley Agi- tators’ in the league hotel where he instructed them how to prevent the people of the state from signing roferendum petitions. Immediately upon the closing of the legislature, the state was flooded with agitators and oratory, and organizers were sent into eevry nook and corner to persuade the people not to sign referendum peti- tions, It was boasted repeatedly that not even 15,000 signatures could be secured to the referendum petitions; and If they were secured, they would all be-from the towns. ' Couldn’t Stop Referendum. Townley’ utterly failed in prevent: {3 ing t . 38,000 signed petititions to refer this legisla- tion in spite of the strenuous effort of league organizations to prevent it. Not only were the petitions signed by more than 38,000 voters but they were signed freely by farmers, Not only were they signed by those opposed to the league but thousands of leaguers as well. Two years ago Townley was able to prevent members of his organ- ization from signing petitions but this year he completely and utterly failed and-:the probabilities are that’ these people will vote as they signed. this.is true, then Townley faces o welming defeat.

Not only did Townley fail to se cure control of the Farmers’ Press, but he has thus far failed to stam- pede the county. His organizers made a close canvass of the county with indifferent results, They re-vnrolled a large num of farmers but they! failed to st e anything like a ma- jority of the voters. It is freely pre-! dicted by impartial observers, inclined | to favor the league, that the probabili- ties are that Langer today could carry | the county by a large majority.

Commenting upon this fact, the National Republican of Washing- ; ton, D.

This is not because southern farmers have not far greater grievances than. the} farmers of the northwest, but because it is evidently desired to utilize the Nonpartisan forces to injure the re- rty, for the benefit of the , as much as possible. 0 democratic part; “A Hallettsville, Tex., disp: April 26, to the Houston Post say “ ‘Judge E.
