There, never has been a primary election jn North Dakota since the dawn of Townleyism in = which Nonpartisan leaguers have had the privi- ; lege of expressing their choice for candidates from within the ranks of their party. The picking has 3 been done by Mr. Townley through a close cor- poration which he completely controlled. His control was so thorough that there never yet has - been a come-back; there never yet have been two = Nonpartisan league candidates seeking the same Ys nomination at the primaries; there never yet has been a division of the Nonpartisan: vote as _be- tween candidates seeking the league’s favor. + In that fact—in that reversion to the old-time, boss-ridden convention system—has lain Mr. *Townley’s strength. North Dakotans opposed to Townleyism are in the vast majority today. They can make that majority effective only by using ‘it in its solidarity. ‘A majority split three ways ceases to be a majority. ‘ The entrance of Langer and Nestos, and the war with a friendly neighbor?

Down in New York, at 7 E. 15th street, is a mixed bunch of East Indians and alleged Ameri- “cans, of whom the most conspicuous is Margaret ;Sanger, of “birth control” notoriety. They get out a so-called Indian “news” service which they distribute broadcast ‘to magazines and news- tpapers. In their latest sheet occurs an item ‘“dated” London, which speaks quite joyously of the Bolshevik-Afghanistan-Turkish-Persian alli- ance to drive the British out of India one of these *days. So far, all right, but this “news” story éproceeds thus: : “American commercial, financial and consular agents in the Orient are most carefully watching British feeling' that is sweeping over the Orient to such an extent that a rupture between the two nations cannot be delayed very long.” There you have it! A few people who obtair their living by agitating, are broadcasting an agi- tation for a rupture between the United States and Great Britain, between the two great Anglo- Saxon nations of the world. Freedom of opinion is one thing, but how far should this country al- low agitators to go whose sole job is to promote It might be just as well to predict right here that 'the people who run these United States are | not going to have a “rupture” with England be- cause of some ruction that is entirely outside of the American domain.

Last year he sé- cured ‘18 bushels of wheat to the acre on 100 acres of land jised the year before: to grow potatoes, Practically no other farmer in that seqtion of the state who did not use the same meth od'as Mr. Herzig, raised over 6 bush- esto. the acre. Farms right along side of his with just as good) soil condi- tions and with just as much moisture. raised 6 ‘bushels or lesg to the acre. In other words, Mr. Herzig on 100 acres secured as much wheat as some of his neighbor farmers did’on the en- tire 300 acre farms,and he had a crop of potatoes. ‘a crop Of corn and a crop of winter rye in adition to hig wheat crop. 7) : The department of immigration maintaths its contention that 160 acre farms are the: proper size for North Dakota’ and.:that any: farmer who will, concentrate “his ‘efforts on 160 acres ‘will in the-long run be surer of success than-any farmer who farms amore than’ that amount.
