Cathro of Bot- tinue. He was then an esteemed member of the North Dakota state bankers association. Banking was his business. He was supposed to know fifty-seven ways of getting interest from toiling farmers. It was believed that Cathro was acceptable to thé bankers of the state and that he would run ‘their kind of a bank.’ Whether he has, only Cathré knows the books are sacred property and no, more subject to examination of the tax-payers than a private bank. “Marte Jim” Restive But we are Betting afield of the story—when Cathro appeared on the scene a change came over'the spirit of te dream. “Marse Jim” got res- tive. Cathro was making those daily trips to the state house, yea verily, he was even attending the sardine par- ties held every Monday in Governor Frazier's office, where over the spuds and the weiners the fortunes of the New Day and’applied Democracy are discussed, It is reported that Mr. Cathro has become an important personage at these spreads, Often he occupies a seat of honor just a little lower than Lynn J.

Th nearly every department is a feel- ing of unrest. As “Dinnie” Hanifan used to say the “swearing train” is growing longer and more vocal every day. Townley evidently has heard the noise tn St. Paul, for he is here for the first time’in many moons, There are many things to talk over in preparation for the league conven- tion in Grand Forks next month. One of the big questions is whether Gron- na is to be ditched: for someone else. League leaders admit openly < that “Gronna. is a strong man.” mored that Mr. Gronna’s friends are numerous in league cifcles and that the demand is for his endorsement at Grand Forks. in the interests of the senatorial con- test and also to devisé ways and! | means of getting a_campaign fund. La Follette for Gronna But returning to Mr. Gronna. ‘Sen- ator La Follette whom, Townley still admires is making a strong fight for Gronna. Since Gronna went to the senate, LtFollette has always been sure of at least two votes. Lately the CouriériNews came out in a strong eulogy of Senator La Follette. This was just folloWing the Wisconsin pri: maries when “Fighting Bob” carried the red centers of Milwaukee and oth- er industrial portions 6f Wisconsin. If.
