The statement is presented . chiefly’ for the benefit of the; thousands of anti-Townley voters who have ngt been called upon to work in the cam- paign organization, but whose volun- tary efforts are asked. Hampered by lack of finances and unable to send paid organizers into every community of the state as the Nonpartisan league is doing; the Joint Campagin commit- tee asks every anti-Townley voter to make himself a. committee of one to work for the success of the fusion ticket. a“ The June primary showed that the Nonpartisan league is in the minori in the state. The balance of victor: this fall may hinge upon personal dnd organization work. The anti-Townley forces must depend on voluntary. and not paid, workers.

There is a shortage of coal miners and many men are need- ed for work at a brick making, - plant and: on construction jobs.

Says Force ‘Not Suffi- cient—Bankers of State Loyal, He Says [BANK OF N. D. REFERENCE A plea for the employment by the state of ‘several more examiners is made by O. EB. Lofthus, state exam- iner, in his report to Governor Fra- aier, \ Lofthus says that the additional work thrown on the bureaa under the industrial -program necessitated the addition, of several) employes. Thé legislature will be asked to increase the appropriation for the department, it is expected. ’ The report shows’ an increase o& 11 state hanks in the last year, ending June 30, over consolidations, liquida- tions and nationalizations. Two banks failed during the-year. Those whose doors were closed were the First ‘State Bank of Jud and the Farmers State bank of Marmarth. “On the whole, the department has had loyal co-operation from the bank- ers of the state,” says Mr. Lofthus. The total capitalization of the state banks is given ag $12,413,000 with re- sources of $154,422,994.51. An in- crease in resources of $31,311,976.38 is shown, y Mr. Lofthus says very little about the Bank of North Dakota in the re- port. He presents a statement by F. W. Cathro, on the assets and liabilities. Mr. Lofthus has authority to investi-' gate the assets andyliabilities of st: banks, but is Hmited to investigating the ets of the Bank of North Da- kota. The law charges the examiner with the duty of “inspecting and verifying the assets and liabilities of each state bank, ' : The law regarding the Bank of North Dakota provides that he shall investigate only assets twice annually and’ says he “shall inspect and verify the assets in its possession and under its control.” ”, Limitation of the.examiner’s exam- ination of the bank to assets and to only those “in its possession andvunder its control” is a convenient provision | by which a complete examination can be avoided.
