Made Against Him Per­

sonally.

Aneta, N. D., July 3.—Should the

last session of the legislature have

authorized the construction of a state

owned elevator in the city of St. Paul

is the subject debated this afternoon

between George ®. Loftus, sales man­

ager of the 'Equity Co-operative Ex­

change, and Treadwell Twichell, a

Cass county farmer.

Attracts Large Audience.

Yesterday's debate on the feasibil­

ity of a terminal elevator in St. Paul

attracted a large audience, but the at­

tendance today exceeded that of the

preceding debate. Members of the

Equity exchange from many other

counties were here in attendance and

there were a large number of non

members, who are interested in the

matter and anxious to hear what are

probably the two best rough and

ready talkers that cqpld. possibly be

secured on .the- questiOE.

Since the adjournment of the legis­

lature the speakers of the Equity1 Co­

operative exchange have attackod

members who were opposed to the

terminal elevator proposition. In

some localities the speakers announc­

ed without any equivocation they

•would camp on the trails of these

members and endeavor to prevent

their renoanination and re-election.

Took Affirmative.

Mr. Loftus took the affirmative of

the question and spoke for an hour

and a half on the subject. He called

the roll of the legislature, citing the

names of the members of each house

who favored and opposed the terminal

elevator proposition and made some

decidedly caustic remarks regarding

some of those who took an active

part in the defeat of the proposition.

Approved Amendment.

His main contention was that the

voters of the state had appioved of

the constitutional amendment author­

izing the erection of a terminal ele­

vator by such a one-sided vote that

•the members of the legislature should

have acted in response to this voice

of the people and authorized the con­

struction of the terminal. Ho con­

tended that the members in failing to

do this showed an entire disregard

of the wishes of a great majority of

•the voters of the state and were en­

titled to all the -criticism to which

they had been subjected and some,

through their activities in opposUipn

to the plan, had thrown themselves

open to suspicion and had they been

guided by the expressed sentiment of

the voters they would have favored

the construction of the terminal ele­

vator.

Opposed Construction.

•Mr. Twichell, speaking on the neg­

ative. explained that he had been a

member of the legislature and had

opposed the construction of a termi­

nal elevator in St., Paul as a matter

of principle and supposed that a mem

Iber could do so legitimately and not

ibe suspected of ulterior motives any

more than those who favored the

proposition could be clnrged ,with

having been bousiu by the citizens

of St. J'aui. He called nttcntinn to

ness.

No Wealthy Uncle.

This, he said, was true, except that

he had no uncle wno waa wealthy

and none in the grain 'business. An­

other report was that h's wife's two

brothers were in the grain business

,in Minneapolis and he opposed the

elevator in St. Paul help them out,

all of which was true except his wife

had no brothers. He went through

a list of a dozen or more similar

charges printed .by a, pape-* adyoqat
