Since Townley removed himself from the National Nonparti- san League Executive committee Mr. Lemke has risen into an enviable po- sition in power with respect to his relations to Mr, Townley, since Mr. Lemke remains as one of the three members of the league exeeutive committee and Mr, Townley is now but an employe of the committee. Whatever may be the opinion of politicians toward Frazier and Lemke they are going into a real campaign.
