THE WEATHER Generally Fair THIRTY-NINTH YEAR ' "BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA. MONDAY, OCTOBER i, 1920 O'CONNOR GAINS AS FIGHT GOES TOWARD FINISH Fusion Ticket Candidate for; Governor’s Campaign Makes Headway E SPENDS THE CASH LEA _Fusion Committee Urges Per- sonal Work to Combat League Money The final three weeks of the state campaign is entered upon with J. 1. O'Connor, fusion ticket candidate for Governor, gaining strength rapid- ly, according to reports from various parts of the state. In spite of the lavish expenditures of money through organization werk. paying speqkers and distributing pro- paganda, the Townley forces are run- ning against.a lot of snags. Class hatred is being fomented in a move pronounced‘degree than in any pre- vious election by the Townley / forces. Many people have indicated they are tired of these vicious attacks, many of them proved to be entirely false and others exaggerated to suit the authors, which has made enemies of good neighbors, forced people to move from communities, and drawn deri- sion on North Dakota from the out- side. ; While denying that the, league is socialistic, the league leaders are bus- ily engaged in sowing seeds of dis- trust and implanting socialistic pro- paganda on every hand. A short time ago William Lemke’ Courier-News admitted that it receiv ed financial aid from the Nonpartisan league. Alds Socialists This organ has become a subscriber to Victor Berger’s Federated Press, the socialistic press service and is featuring its dispatches, practically | all ‘of which are designed solely to} further the interests of the socialist) party. This same propaganda news serylee is linked with the London’ Herald, radical ongan which is said to have under consideration an offer of a large sum of money from the Russian So- viet to join in spreading the soviet propaganda. It has been very friend- ly to Lenin and Trotzky. Mr. Townley’s new Minneapolis pa- per also is featuring the Federated Press and its socialist Propaganda. Religious Issues The religious issue also has back- fired |on the league leaders. They have ‘used it to’a more pronounce] degree this fall than ever before, chiefly through foreign language newspapers. Mr. O'Connor’s promise of a square deal for all, his record in the legis- lature as a friend of the farmer and his promise for ‘constructive legis- lation, avoiding viciousness in his speeches, has redounded to his benefit. Many farmers in the, state have suffered through blind reliance upon the advice of Dr. Ladd and J. A. M Govern, and have lost 30 to 60 cents a bushel by following their advice. Value of Co-operation / Mr. O'Connor has pointed out with telling effect the value of co-opera- tion among farmers to advance their interests. _He has related in his speeches the great strides made by the fruit growers of California, the farmers of Nebraska and other states along this line in business organiza- tions which are dominated by the farmers themselves and not by social- istic leaders such as now head the Nonpartisan league. The primary showed that the com- bined strength of the anti-Townley forces in the state is more than that of the league. The joint campaig» committee, unable to spend money Ia- vishly on organization as the league is doing, urges upon all anti-Townley’ voters,;both men and women,, the nécessity of personal work between now and November 2. 10 PROSECUTE COAL OPERATORS W aeington’ Oct. 11.—-Prosecution of anthracite coal operators for pro- teering has been decided upon by At torney General Palmer who today o” dered that ‘evidence be gathered against mine owners in the north eastern district.

At the end of August #he commer cial banks of the Twin Cities and South St. Paul and the federal re serve bank were carrying together loans of $31,482,969 ade ‘for the specific purpose of assisting individu- al farmers in financing crop produc- tion. . The radical advance in the to- tal loans of the federal reserve bank on August 31 as compared with the same date a year ago indicates the unusual degree of liberality the which North Dakota demands have been met. It is conservative to es. timate that the total amount thus loaned to farmers in North Dakota through the country banks with which they do business is at least one-half greater than the normal credit ex- tensions to the state of North Dakota during previous years at the same date.” / Clear Over $100 The street dance given Saturd: night by the band was attended by many Bismarck people.

The treaty contains 17 articles and two annexes, one that the armistice is to be concluded tonight and the other is a map. ‘ London, Oct. 11-~—Any Russian sub- rines encountered on the ‘high s will be attacked on sight by British naval forces, according to a note sent by Curzon, British foreign secreta to M. Tchitcherm, the Russian Bolshevik foreign mi ister, on Oct. 2, which is published along with other correspondence re- cently exchanged between Britain and Soviet Russia. Karl Curzon. points out that he pre- viously sent a communication regard- ing a launched in’ the\ 3] a, in which he said that in view of repeated declarations of lead- ing members Of the Soviet that their government considered itself in a istate of war with Great Britain and in view of the impossibility in these gir- cumstances of waiting to ascertain whether the intentions of the sub- marine controlled by the soviet goy- ernment. \ hostile or not, there was not alterative but to issue orders to British ships to attack the. sub- marine should it be encountered on the high seas. Upon hearing rumors that submar- ines of the Bolshevik fleet had put to sea in the Baltic, Earl Curzon sent his note of October 2. ‘To it M.

Yesterday Earl Curzon sent a re- y to M. Krassin’s note of Oct. 6. n which the British foreign secre- tary says some of Krassin’s points "fare trivial and far-fetched, based on erroneous information or moved from the facts. that Great Britain, other power, has sought to” bring about “peace between’ Soviet and Poland and “has only been call- ed upon to stand by its treaty en- gagements to its allies by the bad faith which characterized both mil- itary and diplomatic movements of the Soviet authorities.” “ Concerning the use of Danzg for the transmission of munitions, Earl Curzon asserts this was an obliga- tion imposed upon the allies by the treaty of Versailles. Should Great Britain give to General Wrangel the kind’ of assistance indicateg@ in the Russian reply, he said, the position of southern Russia would be differ- ent from what it is at present. He charged the Soviet with trif- ing with the question of the return of British prisoners and with send- ing troops to Persia in open viola- tion of its promises.
