Mention the Leader When Writing Advertisers PR I ‘Wrecking a Bank for Political Gain credit of the state. (Continued from page 4) spite of this the business hds increas- ed in every department at a rate not equalled by any of the other financial institutions of the city. . “The interests fighting the farmers’ movement all over this country have for some time been apprehensive over the financial strength developed in North Dakota by the farmers. Find- ing that they are unable to combat it by fair means, they are resorting to foul. In their desperation they are resorting to the most extreme meas- ures in the hope that they may be able to wreck the farmers’ credit and thus force them to the wall. . “The methods employed in the at- tempted wrecking of the Scandina- vian-American bank indicate clearly that this is not the only institution aimed at, The only ones they could induce to make a run on our bank were the other local bankers and they were paid off as soag as their demands were presented. The closing of the Scandinavian-American bank did not cause a run on any of the other farm- er banks of the state, thanks to the level-headedness of the people.” PLAY POLITICAL GAME WITH NEW STATE BANK - Proof that Langgw\lsfl!;ing the-sit- uation purely for his, own political ambitions comes ir the form of an announcement that he will “investi- gate” the Bank of North Dakota. He sent his right-hand man, Auditor Karl Kositzky, another of the trio of traitorous officials, to the bank with four accountants to look over the books.. Kositzky recently got’' into difficulties with the supreme court, which ordered him to return to the state’s general fund money he had transferred to other funds in an effort to embarrass the farmer administra- tion. The play of Langer and Ko- sitzky is solely for effect, as the bank, according to its recent statement, has resources of $16,000,000, and recent- ly sold its bounds to an eastern syndi- cate, which spent weeks investigat- ing, at par. N However, Mr. Langer and Mr. Ko- sitzky, with the peculiar venom of the traitor seeking, to justify his treachery by assailing those whom 5 PAGE THIRTEEN RSO VR Court Acts Agaihrst Bank Wreckers BISMARCK, N. D.—(Special Telegram to the Leader)—State Bank Examiner O. E. Lofthus, over whose head Langer and Hall acted in closing the Scandinavian-American bank at Far- go in the attempt to prevent the Nonpartisan league borrow- ing money on farmers’ security, has been restored to his rights by the supreme court and given charge of the affairs of the closed bank. The bank is thus taken out of the hands of the political enemies of the League and of the bank, and its affairs can be arranged to enable its reopening in due time. charged Langer and Hall with political conspiracy to wreck the bank.. The supreme court also issued an injunction, on motion of Lofthus, against enforcement of the decree of Langer and Hall against all banks in the state loaning money to the League on post-dated checks issued for League dues. court orders restoring Lofthus to jurisdiction over the Fargo bank and holding up the decree against League security are temporary and will not be made permanent until the court . hears the entire case. At the same time Langer has gone into court to force the Bank of North Dakota to open its books for his examination. His examiners were ousted from the Bank of North Dakota by the bank’s officers, on the ground that he has no jutrisdiction over the bank and that the intended ex- * amination was for political purposes to cast suspicion on the There is still a hard court battle ahead of the Leaguers, but the plotters who intended to wreck both the League and the state, as well as all farmer and independent banks in the state, have been checked. Governor Frazier has issued a proclamation assuring the people of the state that the entire attack on farmer banks and the Bank of North ~Dakota is for political purposes, and that no uneasiness . need be .felt, as the banks are solvent and " the courts will see justice done. Lofthus The he had betrayed, are doing everything in their power to wreck, not only the accomplishments of the, adminstra- tion but the very credit of the state and the investments of hundreds and thousands of farmers, who hold stock in farmers’ banks in the state. North Dakota papers which are not allied with the I. V. A, press, which is, of course, backing Langer in his efforts to embarrass the farmers’ or- ganization, soundly denounce the at- torney general’s action. The Fargo Courier-News, the paper with the largest circulation in the state, said: “William. Langer has played his trump card. “Defiance after defiance he has is- sued from Bismarck, threat ‘after threat he has made. And in.spite of all his noise, the farmers’ movement, which he has sought to destroy, has waxed in strength, and the governor- ship, to obtain which he has bartered his soul with the devil, is slipping farther from his grasp. “There is just one hope left. May- be William Langer can reach the gov- ernor’s chair over the financial ruin of his state. The votes of the farm- ers he has betrayed have placed him in a position where he can attempt much harm. It is true he can win his political game only if he can wreck the farmers’ banks of the state. But what is that to William Langer, if only his ambition may be gratified ? “And 80 the blow has been struck. The Scandinavian-American bank has been closed. Big. business has gaily joined hands with its present _cham- pion. The people of North Dakota have almost in so many words been invited, in a statement emanating from the banking board, to start a run on the farmers’ banks of the state. “William Langer will find that the farmer will fight back. A predeces- sor of his, H. J. Linde, once tried to wreck the Equity association in ex- actly the same way. But it was Linde, and not the farmers, who lost the bat- tle. Linde’s say-so did not make the Equity . insolvent, and neither does Langer’s fiat mean that the farmers’ bank of Fargo is insolvent. “The fight that Langer has begun will result in his final and complete elimination as a factor in North Da- " " Mention the Leader When ADVERTISEMENTS TRAPPERS'/ THE PRICE WE QUOTE /: ¥ This | n. igher - than ever.
