THE WEATHER Generally Fair THIRTY-NINTH YEAR BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA. “TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1920, PRICE FIVE CENTS Q°CONNOR DRIVES HOME TO BIG AUDIENCE HERE BASIC ISSUES BEFORE VOTERS OF THE STATE Assault on Representative Gov- ernment and. Free Thinking is Assailed SHOWS VICIOUS TACTICS Misrepresentation and Threats Part of League Unamerican Fight Class hatred, political dictatorship, selfish exploitatign in North Dakota must end, declared J. F. T. O'Connor, fusion ticket candidate for Governor, in addressing an audience in the city last night that filled the Auditorium. League dictators have declared that any man who opposes them must be destroyed, he said. “That's the kind of government they offer to men who have come across the seas to find liberty in’ this free country,” he said, after naming par- ticular examples from the tattered throne of the czar of Russia and ap- piopriated them for use here. “It is a challenge to represen- tative government. And I say to them, ‘you shall not drive a single farmer trom this state heeause of his political views—whether he be a Republican, a Democrat or a Nonpartisan, ” Mr. O'Connor, who has refused to bring personalities in his campaign, and has avoided bitter attacks and substituted calm discussion of issues involved, had made the statement that the league leaders had declared that every man who opposes them must be driven from the state. Newspaper Misrepresentation He told of the misrepresentations of the league subsidized newspapers, particularly the Courier-News and Grand Forks American. He backed his statements by quotation from the Capital Daily Press, published in Bis- marck during the legislative session, and edited by H. P. Knappen, calmly reciting the viciousness of the league bosses. On Feb. 6, 1919, thas paper, after by innuendo s¢eking to create the im-| pression that every farmer or other member of the legislature. who dared oppose a league boss-ordered measure was bribed, said: “Ii this should happen let him prepare to leave North Dakota ‘Let him go to a remote place. Rorth Dakota will be too hot for jm.” He referred to the league leaders efforts to prevent members of the league from reading any nwspapers except league-controlled organs. Trusts People “I am not afraid of the intelligence of the people of North Dakota,” he said. “Let every man read all sides of the issues.” He told how, after a legislative ses- sion, he went to Minot to "make a talk before going to his home in Grand Forks. When he arrived in Grand Forks he found the Grand Forks ‘American, the Townley newspaper had printed an interview with him the day before, when he had not been in Grand Forks. He asked for a cor- rection. It was denied. During a legislative session the Fargo Courier-News misquoted a speech he made. A stenographer had made a copy of the speech. He show- ed it to be the Courier-News cor-| respondext’ who’ admitted ‘that the! Courier-News was wrong.’ But no cor* rection was forthcoming. Another time the Courier-News printed a story of a speech he ‘had Uelivered in. the legislature. The Courier-News correspondent admitted he had made no speech at all. But no} correction was forthcoming. Representatives of farmer-owne! | elevators, who were in doubt as toj whether they were bound by the fed- eral or state laws on grain, asked that the court be asked to interpret! the laws. O’Connor was asked to ap- pear as a lawyer in the case. And) because of this, he said, the Courier- News assailed him as an enemy of the “And they will misrepresent my speech tonight,” he said. He referred again to a statement Jim Waters, former manager of the Bank of North Dakota, had made, that there was $9,000,000 of state bank money deposited outside the state last summer. O’Connor mentioned at one | place that Waters had made, this statement. Immediately the Courier- News said that O’Connor had made it. Cathro’s Testimony “They wired the manager of the bank for a reply and he replied that at that time, about the middle of Septem- ber, that there was not more than $500- 000 deposited outside the state. He also informed me that there was $27,- 000 deposited down in New York, near Wall street. “Then I picked up a newspaper an’ read where the manager of the bank had stated under oath that early in September there was deposited in one} bank outside the state, a Minneapolis’ bank, about $4,000,000.” Mr. O’Connor came to Bismarck af- ter visiting 51 towns in western Nortit Dakota. R. A. Johnson, of Alkabo, candidate for Congress in the Third district, talked for a few minutes on the results of the tour. He predicted certain victory for O'Connor in November. He said that the people appreciated Mr. O’Connor’s fair discussion of the issués. Many Nonpartisan leaguers came to them and said they were through with the Townleyized league, he said. “Pll name one,” he said, “W. FE. Stick informed us he had quit sticking.” E. J.

The Governor is now in counties east of here, and will campaign two weeks of a speaking tour before re- turning to his office. After a brief re- spite here, he is expected to make an- other tour in the state. The Nonpartisan league is not con- ducting aking campaign, as a rule, this fall. The method of cam- paigning adopted is through organ- izers who go into various counties and talk to voters individually, making tours in automobiles. It is understood to be the plan of the league leaders to have organizers personally — solicit practically every voter in North Da- kota. The league also is very active in organizing women’s clubs. ‘They are being started in all parts of the state, special efforts being made to enroll members. A. C. Townley, who has not spoken in the state in the campaign, is ex- pected to make a speaking tour, be- ginning this week. It is understood he will come to Bismarck next Mon- speaking at a meeting in Patter- son hall at noon. ARMY CAMPAIGN FINDS WORKERS BUSY IN CITY Expect Burleigh County People to Quickly Subscribe Amount Needed The Salvation Army budget drive opened this morning, when teams of business men met at Elks hall at 9 a. m. and then went out to get the $6,500 needed to take care for the Army’s needs in Burleigh county for ihe next year.. Leaders of. the campaign were con- fident that they would be able to get -he necessary amount in short time. The Salvation Army’s work in Bis- marck and Burleigh county has been jof such character that it has merited the support of all citizens, they hold, not to mention the wonderful war work and national service record of the organization. ‘The budget is increased over last year somewhat, because enlarged facilities are very badly needed at the Salvation Army home here. FINED FOR HUNTING GEESE FROM PLANE Something new and Wimbledon, Oct in North Dakota court annals | probably the first instance of the kind in the United States, is the arrest and tining in Wimbledon of Vernon L. Rob- erts, Fargo aviator, for shooting at wild geese from his aeroplane. Roberts was in Wimbledon on one of his occasional visits with friends here. While at the aviation field he spied a large flock of geese flying over and he decided to give chase with his aeroplane. A friend had an automatic shotgun handy which he of- tered to the aviator. One local nim- rod standing by all armed volunteer- ed his services and climbed into the front seat of the plane. The aviator took his accustomed rear seat and they were off on the aerial goose chase. After a long race the geese were headed off from their southern course and several times the aero- plane was in very close range of the geese. it is said but they failed to drop any of the geese. Somehow the chase was noticed by Deputy Game Warden Grulke, a far- mer residing a few miles southwest of Wimbledon. He came to town after the airplane had landed and arrested Aviator Roberts on the specific charge of shooting wild game! from a moving vehicle. The defend ant pleaded guilt guilty and was fined $3 L. D. Maurer Sells His 2,400 Acre Farm Devils Lake, Oct. 5.—L. D, Maurer” has sold his 2,4000 acre farm to Daniel McLaughlin. The price paid was $65 an acre. This is one of ‘the largest real estate deals made in this part of the state in recent years.

For years Mr. Maurer has been one of the most active and pros- perous farmers of the Lake Region. At Ann William O, Anderson, a St. Paul banker, is in Bismarck this week.

Patterson, coun- ty commissioner, from allowing the use of a county road engine to thresh Patterson’s grain. Ward desires the engine for road work, and contends Patterson has-no right to use county | property.

The city commission informally dis- cussed the matter last night.. The city attorney had been unable to get a com- plete copy of the board’s action, and consequently the comm jon was un- able to discuss the question in detail. If the city appeals the case it prob- ably will put up an appeal bond, which, it is said, would have the effect of suspending the increases, which are ordered effective tomorrow.
