Allen, of Kansas, for hig treatment of the Non- partisan league campaign being con. ducted in Kansas by A. C. Townley. “Just why Governor ‘Allen should feel compelled to assail Mr. Townley and the league so venemently I do not know,” he says. “It seemg to me that Mr. Allen would greatly strengthen, his case by sticking to facts. When he departs from the truth as he. has ‘done in the statement that newspa- pers credit him with making, there will be many people who will jump to the conclusion that Mr. Allen for some reason fears the trith about the league and perhaps the effect of; the adoption’ of the ‘league’s policies would have on the railway milling.and banking interests of. Kansas and the (political condition of the state.” Governor Allen vigorously attack Townley because of his “war record.” Governor Frazier in reply says that the people of North Dakota’s records in Liberty loan driveg etc. speak for themselves.: He declares that not 2 single “red” was arrested in North Dakoeta in Attorney-General Palm- er’s raids. $100 A PLATE LUNCHEON 10 | _ AID KIDDIES’ Indianapolis, Jan. 17Herbest| Hoover will bé the guest of honor at a $100 a plate luncheon tonight.
