Effort to Interview Townlcy Falls,
His Office Reporting Him 'ot
in I'rorjcr Mood.
BY GEORGE K. AIKEN.
FARfJO, N. L., Juno 2o. A. C.
Townlcy, supreme head of non
partisan league has started what his
opponents declare is the hardest of
the many fights of his tempestuous
political life. He is tightnig for the
very existence of his league, they
declare, for defeat now, coming so
rlosn on the heels of the setback
In Minnestoa, would mean the eclipse
of the movement, and mark the begin
ning of the end of the most audacious
attempt in the history of America
to commit a commonwealth to ap
plied state socialism.
Townley arrived in Fargo yesterday
from Minnesota, by airplane. Plainly
he was dejected over the results in
the gopher state. When I endeavored
to interview him in the office of the
Minneapolis Star, a daily paper which
the league announced would be
started months ago, but which has
not printed a single issue. I was ad
vised not to do so. "This is a bad
day to see him," said the man in the
office, who formerly represented the
Spokane Chronicle at Olympia, and
who requested that he be not quoted
on anything he said.
'You could not have come at a
worse time, as you can Imagine,"' he
continued. This statement from on
close to Townley confirmed the state
ments made by many North Dakotans,
who declare that, with adversity
Townley sulks, while when things go
his way ho is affability Itself.
Bitterness Marks Fight.
It is hard for an Oregonian to
Imagine the degree of bitterness that
marks the fight here in North Dakota.
It is even more bitter than was the
closing week In Minnesota. Challenge
and counter challenge from anti' and
pro-league speakers fill the air, and
the farmers of the state are forget
ting about their crops to listen to
the vituperation flung back and forth.
There is this strange phenomena
that Is the hardest thing to under
stand. The average non-partisan
leaguer will not discuss the league of
the campaign with a stranger. Only
when I have been able to get into a
group of them have I been able to
set their viewpoint expressed, and
even then with some difficulty.
On the other hand the antl-leaguers
are busy all the time. There is no
limit in denunciation they will not
go to in characterizing the leadership
of the league and its programme
which they declare 13 just applied
socialism.
Kargo Is the headquarters of the
opposition to the Townley crown; It
is likew'se Townley's state head
quarters, too, though he does not re
main here. nor docs he hold his
meetings in the towns of the state.
He goes direct to the farmers, by
holding his meetings in groves on
farms.
It Is to this one trait of Townley's,
his opponents attribute his success.
They declare him the master of ap
plied psychology, "a crowd psycholo
gist," and similar terms.
Conversation about the political
headquarters teems with psycho
logical terms. To the managers here
verything Is done for its "psycholo
gical effect. This is true of both
ides. and such grandstanding in
politics this nation has never known
While Townley Is credited with
being the master political psycholo
gist, his lieutenants have taken whole
chapters from hts books, and they get
away with stunts that ordinarily no
speaker would dare attempt.
For example the writer heard Gov
rnor Lynn J. Frazler at Grand Forks
refer to his farmer audience as "hay
coeds,' and to men he appointed, in
eimilar terms. These arc mild com
pared with the epithets credited to
Townley, though he too is said to be
putting a soft pedal on the "rough
stuff doled out in the early, days
of his campaigning.
Totrnley Insuei Orders.
But that is still the principal idea
to "sore up" the crowd, and get them
to work. At the same time it is
alleged, the opponents declare they
Inov it to be true, that instructions
went out from league headquarters as
follows: Don t talk to strangers
about the league, especially do not
cets Into arguments, and poolroom
debates don't help. Keep till and
work where-you know it will count.
Just what the effect of this order
will be is one of the things that
puzzle the league's opponents who are
banded together as the independen
voters association. and generally
sponen or as tne i. v. A. s."
Tonight they feci rather confident
that they have the league defeated
and have scouts out looking for any
Indication of a back swell from
Townley's meetings. They declare
there Us none, and that the forces
that have broken away from Townlcy
are noicnng intact, lr tncy are cor

"The facts are that we have been

adulterated butter and that the gov

against us on the theory that w
have manufactured adulterated but
ter," said K. W. Ellis, president of
the company, yesterday. "We hay
answered that charge by stating that
we are not now, and never have been,
engaged in the manufacture of adult
erated butter.
"We are -contesting the collection
of this tax and in due time are con
fident of our ability to prove that
we have never manufactured adult
erated butter, and that we are not
liable for the tax.
"We ask that the public, in the
spirit of fairnesi and justice, hold
their judgment In abeyance until our
side of the story has been told. We
have established and now bear an
enviable reputation for honesty and
for the quality of our products. That
reputation we propose to defend, and
when our side of the story is heard
we have no doubt as to the final outcome."

DEMURRER TO BE UPHELD
Judsc Morrow Indicates Decision

Public opinion in the matter of a
contest between father and mother
for the possession of the remains of
an only son. has been that such a
case should never have been brought
in any court, decided Circuit Judne
Morrow, who all but threw such an
action out of his court yesterday.
