A striking feature of Mr. Langer’s address was his exposure of. the close relations -between the officials: in, con- trol of the ‘Bank of iNorth Dakota, and the institution which he called the “So-called” Scandinavian-American Rank of Fargo. ' The Hillsboro opera house where the address was given was crowded to the full extent of its capacity, farm- ers from all parts of Traill county be- ing present, among the many who were formerly strong adherents: of Townley, but who now cheered Mr. Langer’s denunciations of the league czar, Traill Solons Denounced It was. when he challenged the Townley gang to imprison him un- der the gag law if he uttered a single falsehood, and denounced the Traill county. - representatives, especially Representative Nesvig, chairman of the legislative “smelling committee” that the crowd went wild with en- thusiasm.
