(Established 1873). ae > CASE OF THE PEOPLE OF NORTH DAKOTA VERSUS A. C. TOWNLEY, SOCIALIST Townley’s effort to fan the flames of class con- sciousness and prejudice, should not influence the verdict of the people of North Dakota in the.case at issue. The evidence and arguments have been practically completed and the men and women of this commonwealth will go to the polls. next Tuesday to cast their most important ballot in statehood. The independent voters have worked valiantly | against heavy odds to present their plan to re-{ deem, the state from socialism intensified by the most vicious style of propaganda ever employed. Pamphlets and roorbacks of a filthy and revolting nature have been employed by the opposition to win votes. Religious issues have been advanced, characters assailed and nothing has been left un- done by the Townley forces in their effort to re- tain contrdl of the state government. Political arrogancy and bigotry have been the) rule and guide of the Townley zealots. Threats of a most vile nature have been used and the spirit of Americanism and fair play has been outrag- eously violated. In Fargo for instance, Governor Frazier said: “ANY ONE WHO DOES NOT APPROVE OUR PROGRAM IS AN UNDESIRABLE CITIZEN AND THE SOONER HE SELLS OUT AND LEAVES THE STATE THE BETTER.” A..C. Townley has said frequently during the campaign: . “IF.I, AFTER THE SMOKE OF BATTLE HAS CLEARED AWAY, AFTER NOV. 2, 1 FIND OUT, THAT YOU BY YOUR VOTE HAVE HELPED | TQ DEFEAT ME, I AM COMING BACK HERE | TO\SEE THAT NOT ONE OF YOU: FELLOWS WILL BE LEFT HERE IN TOWN.” ~ Free men and free women of North Dakota will you submit to such threats? If the voters of North Dakota next Tuesday endorse the rule of violence, boycott and black- | mail, where then is our boasted freedom? where then are our free institutions? Where then are the safety and sanctity of our homes? ont No more direct challenge to a class war thas | been made by man, No more vile threat was ever uttered by a chief executive of a state under the Stars and Stripes. No political boss,except A. C. Townley, drunk with power, fattened and sleek upon easy money, has ever dared to issue such a challenge to freeborn men. What is the American answer? ‘The décisive defeat of these men who utter threats against the peace and safety of the state and who in their bigoted zeal would drive from their homes and places of business all men and women who do not believe in their: wild utopia. Free institutions, honest government, free speech, and free thought are in jeopardy, in North Dakota today. More than 60,000 voters who supported J. F. T. O’Connor and William Langer at the June primaries have been glassed as_un- desirable citizens by A. C. Townley and Gov- ernor Frazier. : : Moreover they are invited by the chief ‘execu- tive to sell out and move away, leaving these demagogues to loot the state at will. Victorious or defeated, the Independent vaters of the state will keep up the fight to redeem North Dakota. There will be no abatement: in energy to carry the truth to the people until Townley’s autocracy is destroyed and a government ‘for all the people is reestablished in our beloved state. DON’T FORGET THE LEGISLATURE Every voter should support his vote for the fu- sion ticket by endorsing the Anti-Townley can- didates for the legislature. In your zeal’ for some special favorite, don’t overlook the names of Sper- ry for senate, Semling, Heaton and Anderson for the house. In this plan to restore constitutional government in North Dakota, it is neceskary to have a legislature, the members of phich are guided solely by their oaths. of*office and not bound by a secret pledge to uphold and obey the commands of the nonpartisan league bosses. | Keep the legislative candidates in mind. THREATENING BUSINESS WOMEN Women of voting age employed in offices ana| the various industries are being told that all leg- islation relative to minimum wage, working hours and conditions of employment will be repealed if O’Connor is~elected. Re *6 This is a vicious lie: O’Connor and many candi- dates on the fusion ticket supported the labor legislation. “It-is also a-matter- of records that Behe Is ‘6 RISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE SATURDAY, OCT. 30, 1920. = S.

A EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproauced in this column may or may not express the opinion of: ‘The Tribune. ‘They are presented here in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being dis- cussed in the press of the day. INTEREST RATES IN’ NORTH DAKOTA Whether through ignorance or with a wilful intent to deceive, some of our political speakers, | ' and particularly some of the women interested in the campaign, are misrepresenting the banks of Montana, misrepresenting the state land depart- ment and making it appear ‘that money may be secured by farmers of Nerth Dakota on much more favorable terms than in our own state. The Bank of North Dakota does nothing and can do nothing for the farmers which thé state} | of Montana does not do, except that it has one provision for paying the principal of a loan in thirty years, but the interest charge is just the same and there is nothing to prevent a farmer in Montana taking thirty years té pay for his farm or that part of it which he\purchases on time. The Bank of North Dakota pays two per cent for the use of public funds, money which is de- \posited in- it by counties, cities and school dis- tricts. \ Sea The Bank of North Dakota Ibana this money| or deposits it in member banks or favored banks}. which eo-operate With the state owned bank, ‘at a rate of four per cent. The Bank of North Dakota thus makes two]’ per cent “profit” on all public money which it redeposits. is The counties, cities and school districts lose this same two per cent as théy formerly col- lected four and oftentimes five per cent from pri- vately owned banks for the use of this money. Farmers and borrowers on other than real jes- tate must get their loans from the'private banks and pay the “going rate of interest” to the private banks for the use of public money. ak Farmers may only borrow money from the Bank of North Dakota on first mortgages on real estate at six per cent interest. If a farmer desires to take 30 years in which to repay his loan, he pays the State Bank of North Dakota six per cent interest for the use of the alent and an additional one per cent annually} which applys on the prinkipal. There is no way of paying the principal by simply paying six per Cent. The farm loans made by the Bank of North Dakota at six per cent are precisely on the same terms which are made by the state land depart- ment of Montana, except the Bank of North Da- kota collects an application fee of $25 from each farmer who desires to borrow money and the Bank of North Dakota keeps this $25 whether the loan is made or not, thereby adding to its “profits.” The state of Montana charges a $10 appraisement fee and returns the fee if the loan is not made. ' Jf a Montana farmer or any number of them fail to pay tho state cf Montapa, our public land 4und is reduced by thé amount of the loss if the state cannot get its money out of the land. If a North Dakota farmer fails to pay or a number of them default, the laws of North “Da,| kota provide for the levy of a tax on all the people of the state for the purpose of making up the loss. cic There is no way of getting money out of the ‘Bank of North Dakota on any other terms than are offered by the banks of Montana, by the state land department or by ihe \fed-ral | farm loan banking system. It is about time the people cf Mentana were waking up to the fact that if it was made any easier to get money from the banks the deposits |; of the men and women of this state would ‘not be safe. : If a system were advised for passing out either deposits of public money or individual savings deposits on terms any easier than those now ad- hered to, those responsible for such a systém would be sent to the penitentiary or hanged by indignant depositors whose money had been put out without security sufficient to guarantee its return. That is all there is to it. Let’s be sane on this’ subject—Helena (Mont.) Independent. SerreRtIELD — % Nate ° fi | The Paperientes ‘ * .

Nielson.at Minneapolis? If there be those who have taken that nasty statement seriously to an imporgput fact, that. may have es- caped th in the heat of this cam- paign. Miss Nielson is no fool. Even her enemies admit that she. knows a thing or two. And among°the things she knows ‘instinctively is: Never to wound or grieve needlessly her own people. And the ‘farmers of North Dakota are her ownpeople.:She wants them. | :She?*neéts them, She ‘must have r stippart.* It hardly seems necessary to recite , the fact that, those who heard Miss Nielson’s Minneapolis speech were shocked at the lie.so glibly reported {and spread broadcast over the. state. In, her, spgech there -was absolutely | nothing thgt honestly could be twisted |into the statement. suggestive of the nationalization of women. Naionalization of women! That sala- cious phrase in this political cam- paign could flow only from the pen of !a Townley scribe—undoubtedly one, whose “wish is father to the thought” ;-— never from the lips of a clean- {minded woman, our standard bearer—- Minnie J. Nielson. é Whatever may ‘be the outcome of this general election on Nov. 2nd, so | far as Miss Nielson is concerned, whe: the smoke of battle rolls away, there can be no_ heart-breaking regrets.

No lies of her own vention rest in the background of this experience to start up out of the dark ;néss to shake her. No distorted facts {lie in wait to be straightened out on |a sleepless couch.

Throw your state into socialism and your schools into the hands! of those who would destroy them. If on the other hand, you do not consider wheat the main issue, if you consider the good of your state above material gain, then vote to put into office men and women who will unswervingly stand for the truth and right, a square deal to all, and for one God, one flag, and one country.” Fer fully a minute after Bob nad taken his seat there wuz a silence in which you could o’ heard a pin drop. | Then from the throats 0’ the audience arose a cheer, that as it gained in in- tensity, seemed to shake the very foundashun o’ the building—The hack- slidin’ 0”, Henroost Center wuz com- plete. » (The End.) | PEOPLE’S FORUM ; st IN DEFENSE OF MISS NIELSON Bismarck, N.
