PAGES. TOWNLEY GOES TO BROKEN DOWN POLITICAL HACKS AND RADICAL SOCIAL IsftSs FOR HIS SUPPORT D.C. June 17, 1919. ribune Editor Bismarck Bismarek, North Pakota, Dear Sir: T have been following with deep In- terest the campaign on both sides re- specting the adoption by the people of North Dakota. or the rejection, of the legislative program now submit- ted to a referendum. | believe there is one phase of the matter than can be utilized rongly by those oppos- ing the rat ation.

I have reason to believe he spent at least two or three weeks hard at work on this job. It was expected by him and (hose he represented that a large number of endorsements would be re- ceived and several persons found who would go out to campaign on their side. Of course he canvassed all the radicals in the Administration and in the congress, as well as certain ones not in public life. It is to me extreme- ly significant that after this great ex- penditure of effort, this searching trial, the results have been practically nothing. only recommendation which they have received and publish. ed has been the one by Louis F. Post, assistant secretary of labor, who is the arch radical socialist of this place. ary that I give the de- ‘ost's career. You doubt- have them. He is universally recognized as a radical socialist, one of the most consistently irresponsible sor ts one can imagine. His letter, published in the Nonpartisan league paper, indicates they asked him to go out to campaign, but. he declined and instead wrote a letter of recommend- ation. Anything this red socialist rec- ommends honest people should repud- iate. So far as I am able to discover, just one other recommendation was receiv- ed, and that is by former Senator Mc- Laurin of South Carolina. Twenty years ago the people heard a great deal of McLaurin. He of course has had no ‘part in public life since his unhappy political death twenty years Spend less money for new clothes. leaned often by the They'll look like new and satisfy NEVENS CO., CLOTHES CLEANED OFTEN WEAR TWICE AS LONG Nevens Company Minneapolis’ largest laundry and dry cleaning establishment. 1203 Marquette Ave., Have your old ones French dry too, Best work at right” prices.

The charts show that up to the age of from 35 to 40 the great majtrity have a constantly increasing earning capacity. Past that age the average salary declines instead of increasing. No matter what your prospects show, it is a good plan to save as much as you can when your earning capacity is on the increase. Then when the scale starts the other way, or when it reaches the fixed point you will be free from the worry of the wage earner who dreads middle age. Save while you are on the up-grade.

A. 1 bought the bank so that it could be turned over to the farmers at actual book value, which will abso- lutely show on the statement, but you see part of the assets are not book agscts, so we have put in $15,000 in the bank to bring it up to the $200,000 capital, with thé surplus or undivided profits in addition. Q. You paid $162,000? ly speaking, yes. $162,000? = A. A. Rough- Q. Did you make any other money, aside from your ten per cent, you .or anybody else? <A. No, not directly from the bank. I made money from it on the deal. Q. ‘How much did you make? A. | rather not, tell. It is not a matter that I think should ‘be spread so long as the assets are there.

You said we have to put this money in there, but we will call him up and have him wire you that. it has been done. By Mr. Langer: Q. That was not put in till Halvor- son insisted it should be, put in? A. Yes, | was told about it one evening about nine o'clock, and | had to go to St. Paul that evening and leave Mr. Aamoth to make the entries and transfer, and it is these approximate- ly $20,000 worth of outside assets we will realize $15,000 on. They cannot go in the bank as actual assets. We will have to take them up ourselves and take our cash for it. Q. DID THE FARMERS KNOW THAT YOU MAKE A RAKEOFF FROM GRADY ON: THIS DEAL? A..IT WAS NONE OF THEIR BUSI- 'NESS WHATSOEVER. Q. You didn’t figure any trust relation existed between you and the farmers you were buying the stock for? A. None at all.
