UNITED FORCES BACK O'CONNOR IN FALL FIGHT Candidate Who Speaks Here To- night Truly the Fusion Candidate WITHDRAWALS COMPLETED Democrat and Republican Lead- _ers Complete Agreement for Mixed Ticket When J. F. T. O'Connor, anti-Town- ley candidate for Governor, steps on the Auditorium platform here tonight to speak, he will stand as truly a! fusion candidate. Withdfawals'of anti-Townley candi- dates where there was a conflict was made Saturday afternoon at the office of the secretary of state, leaving the | slate all along the line a straight out fight between Townley and fusion can- didates. Two Democratic candidates for congress, Nick Nelson, of Emerado, ; candidate in the First district, and! John B. Fried, of Jamestown, candi- | date in the Second district, leaves 0.! B. Burtness, anti-Townley candidate as the sole opponent of Congressman | Baer in the First and George M. Young in the second. These two candidates i won in the Republican primary, with | ‘votes also being cast for the Demo-; ‘cratic candidates, and their withdraw- | al, it is believed, assures the election | of Burtness and Young. In the Third | district, Pat Norton was defeated and) Sinclair, league man, will be opposed by the Democratic candidate. Independent Filings Withdrawals of Democratic candi- dates for the legislature in those d tricts where the anti-Townley can dates won in the Republican primary also was completed. Four gnti-Town- ; léy independent filings were made. They are: Forty-seventh legislative district, Charles Delahan, New Leip- zig and Gottleib Rurnius, Elgin; | Twenty-sixth district (Emmons antl | Kidder) James McKee and George Gal- | braith. The league has filed candidates for state offices by petition where their | candidates were defeated im the Re- publican primary, -and filed 50 candi- dates for the legislature. The fol-| lowing Democratic withdrawals from | the fusion anti-Townley state ticket were made: “secretary of state, Roy Murphy; auditor,4 Roy Chisholm; treasurer, F, L. Walker; commission- er of insurance, Frank Sanford; com- missioner of agriculture and labor. | S. H. Taylor; railroad commissioner, | M. M. Bornam. i Their places on the tickets were filed by the Republicans successful in the primary and other Republicans. | After the June primary ‘a great ef- fort was made to eliminate all co flict between Republican and Demo- cratic anti-Townley candidates. In! many conferences the agreement was reached by the anti-Townley leaders to form a fusion ticket. The with drawals complete the committee’s agreement. All now are in harmony, and it is believed the completion of this arrangement is a mighty step in the anti-Townley campaign. Combination Necessary The June primary showed that the! Nonpartisan league cast less than halt the votes in the state for the first time. It showed very plainly that if, factional differences are buried and a; straight out fight made between so- cialist and anti-socialist forces the league can be defeated. © League Filings League leaders filed 12 candidates | for the senator in districts in which} the anti-Townley forces’ won in the June primary?

His speech, with this generous endorse- ment of the party’s platform and my own intepretation of it, brings no sur- prise to me. More than that, it adds to my confidence that when we have recorded America against the menace which we were being ‘let in for,’ we are going to be able tovhave America agree on a program which shall hold up forever free and still play our part in expressing the new conscience of the world.” Senator Harding left Marion today bymator to speak at Freemont, Ohio, 70 miles away at the dedication of !a memorial tablet in honor of soldiers who lost their lives in the world war.
