PAGE EIGuf BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 1920 300 FARMERS HEAR SPEAKERS AT DRISCOLL Mr. Streeter Silences Some Dis- turbers Who Seek to Break Up Meeting Mbre than three hundred people listened to Frank Streeter, candidate of the anti-Townley forces for lieuten- ant-governor, and Rev. Allen O. Birch- enough, at Driscoll last night score the socialist leaders and lay bare the system which they have inaugurated in this state for the benefit of non- resident radicals. Every one of their statements were backed by documentary evidence.The audience was enthusiastic and was with them at all times, despite the at- tempts of the Bill Meyer-Howard Tho- mas gang to break up the meeting by discourteous disturbance. When the fighting man from Emmons got up he handed the rioters a rebuke that silenced them for the rest of the meet- ing. Strong League Center Driscoll has been a strong League center, but many of the farmers have renounced the organization since its extreme: radicalism and some of its dealings with farmers have been un earthed. Mr. A, Hull, a farmer living near Drise presided. In introducing Rev, Mr. Birchenough, he urged all to weigh carefully the arguments and the facts presented by both sides and decide for themselves who to vote for. “The Fighting Parson of St. Thom- as” immediately launched into the re- cords of A, C."Townley, who register- ed as a socialist at Beach and ran there for representative on the same who signed ticket; Arthur LeSeuer, and especially Walter Thomas Mills. He told how Mills had led a strike in New Zealand which cost .the farmers there thousands of dollars. He had never been a friend of the farmer, he asserted. He told how Spurgeon Odell, the Minnesota banker, was converted to socialism iby Eugene Debs. ‘Mr. Odell will speak at Driscoll June 6 for the National Nonpartisan League. His denunciation of the crime com- mitted by the League leaders in vir- tually ousting Miss Minnie J. Nielson from office after the will of the voters expressed in a fair election had plac- ed her there, received one of the most | enthusiastic responses given to any part of his address. The women pre- sent were especially stirred. Trim Socialism Away In closing he predicted that the farmers would: retain their program but do away with the socialistic trim- mings by electing Willam Langer in June, the nepublican candidate for governor. | ‘Mr. Streeter devoted r‘ost of his | time to the state bank. He told how j ; little of the money under control of the bank had been used for land loans | to farmers resident in this state and‘ how fn many cases the loans had' been equal to or greater than the assessed value of the land. Each time he re-! ferred to specific cases, He demonstrated how in this way | all’ of the resources of the bank could be wasted and the state have no re- course. He knew a lot about Mr. Waters, he ! explained, but nothing about the hon- esty and integrity of Mr. Cathro, but, he declared, that if he was jn charge of that bank and an officer of the state of North Dakota whose duty it is to audit public accounts, he would not resort to technicalities, but would im- mediately open all his records to his inspection. His snappy analysis of the centrali- zation of power in tho governor was. intently followed. ‘He showed how he controlled the industrial commis- sion, how he was head of the state constabulary, how he even was em- powered to go so far as to appoint the deputies of an elective office, the attorney-general. He brought the house down when he told how Townley had agreed “to loan” Wm. Lemke to the state for two years as attorney-general because he could find no other atorney who he could depend upon to stand for the stuff which he intended to put across if he succeeded in electing his ticket this year. He received a ringing ovation when he concluded and again when he de- cisively answered questions fired at him by “Bill” “Meyer and Frank Pra- ter. Both speakers spoke this afternoon at Regan to another big crowd. ~ MARKETS SOUTH ST. PAUL LIVESTOCK South St. Paul, June 2.— Hog re- ceipts, 15,000. Steady. 15¢ higher, Range. $13.80 to $14.

MEETING :Cantinned From Fuge One> are most fully informed as to his present health and’ his resent activi- ties, have little fear of either. There is more than a suspicion in some quarters that Penrose’s -“‘ill- ness” ‘has simply been a part of his political strategy. And this seems to ‘be ‘borne out by information, gained in some 10 days of inquiry and in vestigation as to the exact state of his health and the nature of the “rest and recreation’ he took while:on his recent sojourn “for his health” in Florida. His illness has enabled him to stay away from Washington, where his , every move and conference would have been watched and analyzed for political significance. But ‘in the re- tirement of Three Rivers, Fla., where he went to “recuperate” he was able to see such political gentlemen as he wished to see and to avoid'notice He Will Dictate Matters “The senator will direct . matter: is in almost daily communication with him told me. “Some think that will be a handi- cap, but we're betting that despite all’ handicaps he'll prove himself at least 90 per cent efficient, as the ex-. perts would say.

Wilcox Makes Statement to Farmers of Burleigh Co. | Standing for Square Deal | . The stockholders of. the Public Opinion company at the meeting yesterday afternoon refused to pay any attention @ to the charges preferred bv J. W. Brinton against Richard § S. Wilcox, state manager for Senator Hiram W. Johnson & and former editor and manager of the Public Opinion. Mr. § Brinton admitted that he had no evidence to support his § claim of misappropriation of funds and opposed the accept- § ance of Wilcox’s effer to give $10 to the Public Opinion company for every $1 which a committee of Burleigh coun- ty farmers found to have been misused by either Mr. Wessel or himself. \ Mr. Brinton agreed to purchase the Public Opinion for, $11,C00, but refused to carrv out that section of the contract signed by W. W. Ligget, former manager of the Publishers National Service bureau, giving stockholders in the Public Opinion company stock in the Burleigh County Farmers Press equal to that held.in the former company. Mr. Wilcox’s proposition was addressed to Frank G. Prater, president of the Public Opinion company, and was read by Wilcox immediately after the meeting was called to order. It follows: To Frank G. Prater, President Public Opinion Co., Bismarck, N. D. I hereby make the following proposition: You are to appoint at once without consultation with anyone, three Burleigh county men who own and farm their own land, are of good reputation, are stock- holders of Public Opinion company, two at least of which are not controlled by Ed Patterson, as a commit- tee of three to investigate the records of the Public Opinion company, ascertain why it was thrown into bankruptcy and find out whether the price paid for the Palladium was not too high and reach a decision as to whether it believes the stockholders of the Public J Opinien were financially benefited by the starting of 5 an cpposition farmers newspaper, and to make a full § and complete renort, sworn to, before June 20, 1920. In case it should be found that either Mr. Wessel or myself have wrongfully or illegally appropriated to ourselves a single dollar of the Public Opinion funds, for every dollar found to be thus misappropriated by either Mr, Wessel or myself, I agree to give to said Public Opinion company $10. This. offer will be easy | to enforce because the Public Opinion company is still indebted to me for over $1,000, back salary and money loaned and not repaid. You have been placed by the stockholders of the Public Opinion company, Mr. Prater, in a position of | great responsibility and trust. It is your solemn duty. —it was vour solemn duty long ago if you had the faintest suspicion of misappropriation of funds to in- vestigate and if you found the suspicions confirmed 1o prosecute and if not sustained to so state so that no one should be unjustly accused. RICHARD S. WILCOX. Following the meeting Mr. Wilcox made the following statement: A “The meeting was entirely satisfactory to me. I con- sider it a big victory for the men who have been fighting with me for : a souare deal for Public Opinion stockholders. I didn’t exnect that the so-called “Fighting Mayor of Beach” would have so little fight in him. He backed down on all of the charges which he made except that on general principles he ‘held that I, was a crook. He admitted that there were records and cancelled checks and that on the basis of these records there was money coming to me. He did not produce either Tom Poole or E. E. Wessel. He read | a letter from Mr. Packard holding that certain meetings of Public Opinion were illegal because a quorum was not pres- ent and protesting against the payment of a bonus on a loan, the loan being one made from, John A. Johnson, he claiming that it was usury. “What pleased me most, however, was the statement by William J. Prater that he insisted on starting the daily edi- tion of the Public Opinion, when there was not a cent in the treasury and a failure was certain, over and above my pro- test and statement that such action was simply courting the loss of all the money that the stockholders had put in. Another was the admission of Brinton that he, Townley and Lemke had not supported Public Opinion. “Mr. Brinton did not challenge my statement that few if any daily newspapers had ever been published the first six months of their existence with as little loss as was the case with the Public Opinion. I showed that the loss, counting commission on stock and cost of organization as a loss, was less than $3,500. “Mr. Brinton, as he admitted yesterday, charged me not only with a crime that I did not commit, but a crime that I could not have committed, which is proven by the following extract from the minutes of the meeting of the board of di- rectors January 26, 1918, at which meeting E. E. Wessel was put in complete charge of collecting and paying of bills and all accounting, responsible only to the executive com- § mittee, the members of which were to meet each month, audit the books and receive compensation thereof.at the rate of $5 a day and expenses. “Moved by Senator Cahill and seconded by J. A. Johnson that the executive board be instructed to meet on the sec- ond Tuesday of each month, audit the books and make a re- port to the board of directors on the month’s ‘business any recommendations it sees fit to make, a copy of the report to be placed on file and a copy sent to each director, the re- port to be signed by the majority of the executive board. Motion carried unanimously.” This action was taken at my request. I absolutely re- fused to remain with the Public Opinion company unless either a treasurer or general manager was appointed or semeone was placed in full charge of the financial affairs of the company, responsible only directly to the executive committee. I did not even have the combination of the safe. Mr. Wessel is now in the employ of the National Non- partisan league. Mr. Brinton said yesterday he wasn’t charging Mr. Wessel with being a crook. That settles it. (Paid Advertisement)
