Jackson, June 27.—James E. Gilles- We, a banker from Stillwater, Minn., testifying this afternoon at the Town- a political speech at Stillwater, Feb- ruary 19, defended the red flag and ‘de- clared it was the emblem of the op- Lressed. Public addresses since the. war.and pee the armistice by Pres, A. C. nley of the Nonpartisan league, as transcribed by stenographers who copi- ed the speeches, were cited this fore- noon in the trial of Townley and Joseph Gilbert, league. organizer, The addresses were made ‘by: Town- ley at the St. Paul auditorium in 1917; at Glencoe, June 21, 1917, and at a political meeting at Stillwater, Minn., ou February 19 of this yea In all these addresses Townley di: sed the war, He assailed profiteering in con- rection with the war and declared pri- vate wealth of the nation should be consripted to win the war. The state claims these addresses were part of a conspiracy to discourage sup- port for a strong prosecution of the war. The defense takes the stand that Townley’s addresses were merely a discussion of economic policies in which the league is interested, TOWNLEY IN COURT. Townley was-in court when Gille- pie. testified. The testimony was ad- mitted by District Judge E. C. Dean, after counsel for the defense had made vigorous objections. Townley and Gil- bert are on trial, charged with conspir- acy to commit disloyalty, and the,state alleges that: overt acts were composed of speeches by Non-Partisan League men including President Townley, and by the distribution of Non-Partisan League literature for the purpose of hampering the government's: war pro- gram., ‘The meeting took place the night before election, to choose a state senator. from the Stillwater district. The candidates were George W. Sulli- van and J. Wilcox, candidate for the Non-Partisan. League. The meeting breke up shortly after the red flag in- cident. “I do not remember a great deal of Townley’s speech at the beginning,” ‘Gillespie testified, “For some time T enjoyed it. Then he took a different turn. He said there was a bill in Min- resota to prohibit the use of the red flag and he said he knew only one ani- mal that took exception to the flag and that animal was enclosed in a cent. He |said that some people used that flag as an emblem of distress. He said the Russian administation was being car- ried on successfully and that that was their flag. “At this point a Russian Jew, Isidor Lott, a respected resident of Stillwater, interrupted. Mr. Lott said he took ex- ception to the red flag statement and declared the American flag was good enough for him. Townley replied: CALLS HIM RUSSIAN JEW. “Gentlemen, look at this man here, Ts he a Russian Jew? “The mayor interrupted and said, ‘Yes he is, but he is an American citi- zen. He has two boys in the war.’ “Lott then asked Townley: “‘How many boys have you in the war?’ “Townley got off the platform and that ended the meeting.” HOKE REPRESENTS TOWNLEY. -Gillespie was cross-examined by Geo. Hoke of St. Paul, chief counsel for the defense, Hoke attempted to show that Town- ley referred to the red flag only in a humorous way. Gillespie admitted on cross-examination he had been a close friend of George E, Sullivan. J. W. Foley, a Stillwater lumberman, followed Gillespie and testified along| similar lines. He also testified that Townley referred to the red flag as the “emblem of the oppressed.” He said Townley stated “they peob- ably would also pass laws prohibitng the use of red neckties and red ban- dana handkerchiefs.” He said that Townley stated in his speech, “We of North Dakota are not afraid of the red flag.” ‘A recess was given after Foley left the stand. PAVING MATTER TO BE TAKEN UP THIS EVENING The Bismarck city commission will! meet in adjourned session this evening to confer with Engineer T. R. Atkin- son as to the advisability of opening the paving specifications for District No. 3 to admit other than natural lake asphalt, whieh agents of artificial as- phalts contend is monopolized by a trust. The paving specifications as orig- inally prepared and now being adver- tised confine asphalt bids to the nat- ural lake product. An agent for the Texaco Co., a petroleum asphalt pro- ducer, advised the city commission at its Monday meeting that Bismarck can save $30,000 to $50,000 by opening its specifications and giving the Barbour people, who control Trinidad and Ber- mudas asphalt, some competition. It seems probable that the city com- mission will take a chance. It will i ley ‘trial, declared ‘that. Townley, in| 8.

Burleigh county has spent more for highways and reaped less. in per- manent improvement than any coun- ty in the central part of the state. Burleigh county’s roads grow worse in every direction as they near Bis- marck. They are rottenest in the immedi-| ate vicinity of Bismarck. Rotten politicians make roads. f Any Bismarck or Burleigh county taxpayer who has occasion to drive overo our infamous Burleigh county roads will have this fact forcibly jolted home, The Red: Trail. The Red Trail, for instance, is good working. eastward from’ Bismarck as far as the penitentiary. It then be- rotten to do so until it reaches the slough east of Apple Creek. Here the commissioner of this dis- trict last summer or the summer be- fore had a big crew of men and teams and a tractor at work all season building a fill through the slough. It is said‘that at least $5,000 went into this work. That $5,000 might as well have been thrown down a well. The fill through the slough today is:a treacherous sinkhole in which sev-; eral automobiles have very narrow-| ly escaped miring down this summer.) It is now closed off altogether, and automobilists are forced to make a long detour, just as they did before the county commission invested the} county’s good money in this fill. | The first good stretch of road en- countered on the Red Trail is the fill through the old McKenzie slough, which is in another district. McKen- zie has always been able to build good roads and, permanent. roads and to do it economically. Bismarck never has. There has been no lack of money spent.

Indications are that there will be little spread between the vote upon the. various measures, the greatest differenc being between the printing monopoly bill and the Bank of North Dakota bill. The latter measure seems to hav ‘e been the most popular of probably lead the others in the state by two League Loses Some The league has lost several counties which were solidly Non- partisan last fall, but it has held its own or increased its lead in other league strongholds. Notable shifts to the opposition were made by Traill county, which returned a majority of 100 against the measures; Emmons, which is expected to defeat the bills by 275; McIntosh, which is claimed two to one by the opposition; |Morton, in which the race is very close, but which is claimed for the opposition, and in Grant, where the opposition has a lead of about 80, with half the precincts accounted for. Burleigh county will cut down the league majority by 200 or more, but McLean, another strong league county, probably will increase its Nonparti- f The Townley organization has again shown its machine-like efficiency by piling up a majority of probably 8,000 for the seven bills submitted for the approval of the people at Thursday’s refer- . endum election. Facing the Townley minority was an unorganized majority. The efforts of the majority were spasmodic, not always well-advised, occasionally at cross purposes. Personality, except tor Mr. Townlq, himself, was not a great factor in the campaign. In spite of all the publicity given the measures by the league and its opponents, the referendum was made purely a partisan issue, and little individual consideration was’ given the bills. The vote indicates that it was a question of straight tickets on both sides, for the printing bill, manifestly most unpopular of the seven, ran \generally only a few votes behind the Bank of North Dakota bill, which proved the most universally acceptable. The greatest results are shown in the counties and districts where Secretary of State Hall, Attorney General Langer, State Auditor Carl Kositzky, Senator Fred W. Mees and Simon J. Nagel of the state board of control campaigned. They: did-not oppose the two league program bills, but they did work against two or ing five bills, and their efforts appear to have McLean county, for instance, one of the strongest league cen- ters in the state, returned from 41 out of 43 precincts 1263 votes jfor the printing bill and 1130 against it. This majority is only a fraction of that won by Frazier last fall. Morton county appears to |have been won from Townley by Langer, Mees and Nagel. The same is true of Grant, and the majority in Dunn appears to have Emmons, McIntosh and Logan appear to have switched from a three-to-one majority for the league, as recorded last: fall, to -majorities ranging from 275 in Emmons down. to 90 in Logan against the league. Kidder and Sheridan are among the few counties in the central part of the state where the league did not lose heavily. The league appears to have held its own in Stark and Billings counties, but Bowman, which always has been in- tensely ‘Nonpartisan, returns but 548 votes for the printing bill and 488 against in 30 out of 34 precincts. scored the heaviest majorities everywhere, received 575 votes in The Banking bill which EARLY ANTI LEAD SMALL, ~ Fargo, N.

The precincts reporting 80 far as considered strongholds of those opposing the league's measures. The western ena of the state, where the league is de- clared to be the strongest, has sent only meagre reports. There will be no split in the re- sult, as all bills voted on have received approximately the same vote., Predictions on the hasis of votes reported indicate any- where from 10,000 to 15,000 ma- jority for all the referred laws. STUTSMAN REJECTS PROGRAM. Jamestown, N. D., June 27.— According to the Bank bill, which has the lowest vote, the majority against the league measures in Jamestown will be 629. Fifty-nine out of 69 precincts now have a majority of 490. It is expected that when the re- maining nine precincts report the majority against the bills will be 450. The total vote will be $4,000 as compared with 3,000 last fall, In Logan county, where the vote federal manager of the Northern Pa- | was 411 to 88 in favor of the league cific said that he was now on the| last fall, 17 out of 23 precincts give government side of the railroad busi- | a majority of more than 100 against the league program, the vote stand- ing 396 no to 292 yes. Cass coun- ty has tremendously increased its ma- jority against the league, 60 out of 68 precincts giving a vote of 3,264 to 2,109; as compared with -2,882 to 2,150 last fall. LaMoure county, where the vote was 1,387 to 562 last fall has in 28 out of 36 precincts increased the league opposition to 640, while only ‘915 votes have been cast in favor of the program. In Townley’s Own County. In Golden Valley county, where Townley lived for years and where J. W. Brinton was actively engaged in newspaper work, the majority against the league program ranges from 250 to 300, on the basis of re- turns from 14 out of 20 precincts. The vote for thep rinting bill was 300 to 547 against; for the industrial com- mission, 327 and 515 against; for the bank of North Dakota, 332.to 503.
