TUESDAY, JUNE 29, 1920 _ PRICE FIVE CENTS LANGER STANDS WITH GOMPERS IN HIS BATTLE Onslaught of Reds on American Labor Menaces Welfare of Workers, He Says GREAT CROWD AT WILTON Victory Ticket on Eve of Sweep- ing Victory, He Feels, After Hard Campaign William Langer, anti-Town- ley candidate for the republican nomination for governor, in an address yesterday afternoon to more than 300 farmers at Ster- ling, declared emphatically for Samuel Gompers, president - of bor, in his fight against the Reds who are trying to capture control of the union labor move- ment. ¥ Mr. Gompers has been bitter- ly opposed by the Red radicals and has as bitterly fought them. Mr. Langer held up one of the red papers of the nation supporting Arthur Le Seuer and other Townley leaders and on the front page was a big. car- toon showing Gompers knifing labor in the back. “That is the way,” declared Mr. Langer emphatically, “that these socialists malign the grandest old man of labor, the man who has done more for them than any other Amer- ican, Samuel Gompers, who for thi nine years has been selected by the workers of this nation as their leader.” Mr. Langer’s declaration received enthusiastic endorsement. Nails a Lie The most spontaneous and loudest applause during his speech was that which followed his nailing as a lie the report that his brother, who was wounded on the battlefield of France was a slacker and his statement tha‘ “fd Patterson wasn’t with him and that there was nothing in the entire campaign that,he was more proud of.” He reviewed the Standard Oil case. | the Scandinavian-American bank case and the railroad tax proposition. In reference to the latter he told how Governor Frazier and State Tax Com- missioner Wallace had recommended that they settle the tax case by per- mitting the railroads to get off with paying only half of their assessed tax- ation and how he had prevented the consummation of this deal. Doubles Burleigh Tax In treating of the increase in taxes he gave figures from the various counties. Burleigh coun- ty, he said, was assessed in 1918, 44.000 for state taxes and 1919, 80,000. There is no truth, he de- clared, in the excuse which Town- ley is trying to make that the tax increases is due to higher county and local taxes. “VIL promise you this,” said the fighting attorney general, “that | will have backbone enough if | am elected governor to prevent the waste of the state’s money. | will veto the bills, if necessary. The state taxes will not go up in one year any 100 per cent. “Another thing I will promise is that no one will get a bigger salary That will bar Cathro. He will have to board at home and get along without his $10,000 a year and expenses. And no one will be able to pay any so-called workmen's compensation expert $1,800 a montk. Why He Turned “I want you farmers to remember that when the crisis came in our gov- ernment I had the courage and the independence to go out and tell you the truth. I realized the strength of the machine that Townley had built up and just what I would have to fight, but I saw my duty clearly and did it. “| have nothing but by bare hands with me in this fight. | am paying all of my own expenses. We have not enough money to hire professional speakers from all over the nation. We haven't enough money to buy airplanes or even automobiles.” Mr. Langer showed the bitterness! and unfairness of the attacks being made by Townley when he declared that had even opened an attack on his dead grandmother. The audience closely followed the speaker at all times and gave him an enthusiastic reception both when he was introduced and when he conclud- ed his speech. His talk was held in the spacious and attractive Farmers Union hall which has aroused so much interest and favorable comment. R. F\ Gallagher, candidate for at- torney general, and P. G. Harrington, American Legion leader, talked last night at Moffit to a large audience. Both speakers were very well received in this territory which has heretofore been considered strong League ter-) ritory. | Ff.

GRONNA AND LANGER END WHIRLWIND CAMPAIGN WITH MEETINGS TONIGHT The big campaign in Burleigh county against “ Townleyism closes tonight with a speech by Senator A. J. Gronna. The senator, who is completing a tour of the state, will speak at 8 p.m. At the last minute today campaign managers consid- ered the advisability of\having an outdoor meeting because of the big crowd expected. ' The band will play and Senator Gronna is scheduled to speak in the Auditorium. If the meeting is too large he will speak from a truck near the Auditorium. Mr. Langer toured the country south of Bismarck today, and tonight he closes his wonderful campaign with a heart to heart talk with his home folks in Mandan. > ses = CAST YOUR BALLOT | EARLY, INJUNCTION TO PRIMARY VOTERS Cast your ballot early Wednes- day..

TOWNLEY MAN DENIES RIGHT ‘T0 OWN LAND North Dakota Man Told by So- cialist Organizer That Land Belongs to State How great sums of. money is be- ng spent in the present campaig vy the Townley forces bringing speak ors from all over the country in an wort to defeat the rising tide for he Victory Ticket was told today by Arthur Foster, former resident ot Power y, NX. D., who arived from Yregon and Washington. “All the Townley organizers were vulled out of those states and brought to ‘Minnesota and North. Dakota -for the primaries.” he said. “They all disappeared suddenly, and the people! thought they had withdrawn for good, ! until it was learned they were making speeches here in ‘North Dakota and Minnesota.” The Townley organizers have made ibsolutely no progress among the farmers of Oregon, Mr. Foster said. The people out there have heard ot North Dakota‘s taxes, her bank scan- lals and her socialism, and will have nothing to do with the organizers. In Washington they have made progress among the radicals that in- ‘ the lumber camps, he said. ne W. W., he said, is solidly organ- ized in a triple alliance fostered by Townley, but they are not strong enough to cut any figure in the pri- mary, he said. Mr. son had an experience with a Townley man in a Washington town, where he became involved in an argument. “Do you own a farm asked. “Yes.” “Well, you’ve no right to own it.” said the Townley man. “The ground wasn't made for anyone.” “I went out and developed it, slav- ed from morning until night—I think I have a right to my farm,” answered Mr. Nelson. on he was Though trying to draw the farmers | in the organization in Washington the radical socialists and I.

Townley don’t want to debate William Langer. Having heard league _ state- ments to the effect that Langer refused to debate Townley and having read Langer's challenge to Townley, a crowd which heard Townley at 6 o’clock last night, insisted on an answer. Townley side-stepped the ques- tions as to whether he would debate Langer and then finally as questioners persisted, he said: “Well, Langer could not get a crowd and I won't help him get a crowd.” June 29—Gay S.! de-!

This is the feeling that pervades Republican headquarters. Chairman Torger Sinnes issued the following statement today: rk at the Headquarters 4 ly done and the case of ‘Americanism y. Socialism’ now rests with the jury composed of the voters of North Dakota. Optimistic claims of victory will not affect the result in any way and I am not going to con- form to the traditional habit of claim- ing victory for everything in sight, with majorities that nobody can ex- pect. I feel, however, that we have been given a fair showing by the vot- ers and I am absolutely confident that he verdict tomorrow will be in our |tavor. There will be little splitting | of the ‘ticket, if any. | “A. J.

Over 500 Meetings . “Over five hundred meetings have | been held under the auspices of the ! dependent Republican, Campaign | Committee .and a score or more | speakers have addressed the audien- ! ees, Attorney General Langer himself has addressed nearly eighty meetings, ‘with Senator Gronna; Rev.

Divet, who have delivered more than forty addresses at various points in the state. | “The Congressional Candidates have | spent most of their time in the ser- | vice of the state committee in deal- ‘ing with state issues rather than na- tional and I expect to see a clean sweep for the anti-Socialist Republi- | n forces in the three Congressional | districts. | Legislature Safe “As to the next leigslature, reports | to headquarters are very optimistic. There will be a substantial majority against tf#e Townleyites in the House, ; With a good chance of at least an | even break in the Senate. | “There are indications that the pow- | erful Townley machine is rapidly go- | ing to pieces and something like a | landslide aganist the present state ad- | ministration would not at all surprise us.

In a telegram to Republican Headquartesr, he answers the slanders of league speakers against Langer by the follqwing: “Attorney General Langer was one of the first men to volunteer his services as a speaker in the ; State during the last three Liberty | loans. He was especially success- ful in the German speaking com- munities. We never called on him but that he was willing to go.” WESLEY C.

Kramer; head of the pro- hibition enforcement division here, says it has been a marked success. But when I called on him he didn’t try to make me believe that he had all the saloons closed and all the boot- leggers in jail. We have figures to show that there are only about 800 saloons running in New York.” said Kra- mer. “Beer seems to have almost disappeared, except in Pennsyl- vania. Intoxicants are more plen- tiful in Pennsylvania and New Jersey than in any other states. “As to the greatest benefit by a year’s prohibition, I would say that it has been getting strong drink out of! reach of the boys ahd girls who have} developed no appetites for it. “A toper with an insane petite for liquor will drink up his wife’s per fume, but one never heard of a normal boy contracting the abit of drink by attacking a perfume bottle. Nor is codliver oil and razo, containing alco- hol, a substitute for a roadhouse de- bauch by young men and women, whereas many of the old drinkers are consuming all these preparations they can get. “Leave the Volstead law on the books two more years and drink- ing will be a ‘lost art’.” i The year preceding prohibition, Americans spent $2.000,000,000 for booze. The Anti-Saloon League claims to have figures showing that | the past year the drinkers have placed 81 000.000 000 of thig in banks, spent $100,000,000 of it fog candy, and that the other -$900,000/000 -went for soft drinks, moving pictures, theaters, to- bacco, bootleg booze, automobiles, clothes, shoes, groceries, furniture, ete. But the bulk of this second bill- ion_went for soft drinks and movies. Kramer says most of his troubles have come from former saloons that kept hanging on to see what the Su- preme Court was going to do. 150,000 SALOONS— NOW ONLY 5,000 < Before prohibition there were 150,000 saloons in America, and perhaps not 5,000 now—speak- easies where persons who are known can drink. The 100,000 persons employed at making beer and whisky a year ago have gone into other trades, and there is still a labor shortage. Probably the greatest economic sav- ings has been the sobering up and re- habilitation of 1.500.000 men, who in the wet days were either incapacitated the “day after” or in jail or in hos- nitals. Many of these were common drunkards, The drys sav that scattered figures how workmen’s efficiency has been in- creased 15 per cent. crime reduced 50 ner cent. drinking reduced 65 per cen that 50.000 persons have been saved death from alcoholism and that 60, 000,000 bushels of foodstuffs were di- ed from strong drink to other channels. stalled this year at Central police station to amuse idle policemen.

In Philadelphia arrests for drunken- ness were: West July, 1918—7,580; dry July, 1919—5088.

Com- parison of the Democratic and Re- publican records on party principles and party leadership justifies the be- lief that the Republican party will be driven from, power in both branches of Congress and that complete con- trol of the government will be restor- ed to the Democratic party in the No- vember election, because that party has earned the public confidence.” “The Republican platform adopted at Chicago is an amazing jumble of | ambiguit inconsistencies evasions, misrep: ntations, straddles and ‘slanders’,” Senator Robinson said. Senator Robinson continued during ; his address to,attack the Republicans for their opposition to President Wil- son in international affairs and in do- mestic legislation, asserting that the Republican congress sought to em- harrass the President at every turn. of nation n FARMER PINNED UNDER TRACTOR Warrensburg, Mo., June 29.—To be pinned beneath a m tractor for four hours before his calls far help brought neighbors to his aid was the At Baltimore a movie show was in-| experience of Herbert Carter, a farm- er of near here.

SOCIALISTS ADVIS The manner in which the Fra- zier administration mixes schools and politics is strikingly illus- trated in a dispatch received by The Tribune today from Grand Forks.

About $200 in cash and a quantity of + jewelry had been taken by the bandit from the passengers in the last two cars on the train. He climbed aboard from the obse | vation platform, and compelled brakeman to accompany him and aroused passengers in their berths. As he attempted to enter a third coach Conductor Muldowney locked the door and fired twice without hitting him. Rodell followed the bandit back to the forward platform of the observa- Ition platform and shot him three times. 4DBAD, MANY INJURED, WHEN HOTEL CRASHED Buffalo, N.

Whether a combination of the opposition forces can be accom- plished to stem the tide of the success of the administration was not revealed. With the situation well in hand, close observers of convention development would not be surprised to see the next move to be a definite trend toward some particular candidate for While administration forces have worked in concert to control the machinery of the convention there is no assurance that the community of interests among them will continue when the bal- loting has reached beyond the preliminary stage of compliment- Drift Not Evident There are many who believe there will be no definite drift of presi- dential sentiment until after the plat- form has been adopted and the can- didates definitely know upon what acter of party principles they are expected to stand. There was no surface indications when the conven- tion met today that there was any material change in the relative stand- ing of the presidential candidates, Assembling an hour later than usual the convention had before it only a routine session—a necessary time kill- er-—to give opportunity for commit- tee work on the outside and find per- fection of its organization machin- ery. A second key-note speech by Sena- tor Joseph ©. Robinson, of Arkansas, permanent chairman, was the prin- cipal event on the program. Last Playday Today’s session was the last play- day for the delegates for under the rules as adopted the convention may go ahead hearing candidates placed in nomination while the platform committee is working although it mey not proceed to the balloting for a nominee until the declaration of par- ty principles has been accepted. The McAdoo people came to th convention floor today for the first time with a working organization in- cluding a floor leader and a reprea- sentative in practically every state delegation. Their problem was to find enough supporters to round up a good vote. Cox and Palmer forces were actively rounding up a showing for the opening ballot. Glass Chosen Senator Glass, of Virginia, as chair- man of the resolutions committee; William J. Bryan excluded from the sub-committee of nine chosen to ac- tually draft the platform while Bain- bridge Colby, secretary of state, stood as the representative of President Wilson, Senator Joseph Robinson, of Arkansas, another staunch admin- istration supporter chosen for the permanent chairman and administra- tion men at the head of other com- mittees, was the lineup brought out of what had promised to be a con- test. The threatened anti-administration fight so far as it related to the organ- ization of the convention machinery collapsed without a showing. At the same time the committee formulat- ing the rules of the convention had cleared the way for the nominating speeches to be delivered while the resolutions committee is working on the platform. By unanimous action it decided that the various candidates be placed in nomination while the platform deliberations are going on but no balloting for a nominee may be conducted until after the platform has been brought in perfecte? and adopted. Hastens Work This action will simplify and has- ten the work of the convention very much, From the dramatic moment yester- day when a portrait of President Wil- son was unveiled in the gr2at ‘con- vention auditorium to let loose a strong tribute of approbation, there seemed little chance for those: who had set themselves in opposition to the President, The burst of feeling did not die with adjournment. Long after there was still a hint of it in the voices of the delegates. Senator Robinsor’s selection for permanent chairman was more of a fore-gone conclusion. No opposing candidate had been se- lected. The administration forces now have a strong grip on the ma- chinery which will write the con- vention of faith for the party’s 1920 campaign. There will be battles in committee over many planks but there was less prospect today than at any time since convention leaders he- gan to assemble, is the opinion pol- itical observers schooled in the ways of convention, of an open fight. on the floor.
