Townley, national leader of the Nonpartisan league. A Beatrice man, who at tended the meeting stated that there were not five townspeople present. The audience numbered approxi mately 3o0. Townlev devoted one- half of his time to witticisms, which always drew heavy applause from the audience. When lie did not get it, he waited for it until they did applaud. Townley admitted Langcr's charge that he had been a socialist and ran for the legislature on the socialist ticket in North Dakota several years ago. Found Machine Loose. "I did so because the other parties, the democratic and republican, were controlled by grain gamblers and others, and I could not organize the farmers through either of those par tics for a state-owned elevator plat form.", he said. "But I found the machir.e in the socialist party was loose and had too many nuts in it. so I started the Nonpartisan league." In reply to a question by Langer concerning his reasons for refusing to testify to a charge hanging over him for alleged activties in discour aging the draft, Townley said: "I had tort much sense to go be fore a framed court. The grain gam blers and others; through their tools like this rascal Langer here, are do me: everything in their power to put me in jail in an attempt to injure the Nonpartisan league. Another of Langer's questons an swered by Townley concerned the failure of the legislature in .North Dakota to pass an anti-red flag law. Didn't Need Red Laws. "We did not pass it because we didn't need it there," he said. Townley commended The Omaha Bee for the fair treatment accorded him by the paper in describing the Dcshler meeting yesterday.

Commenting' ion President Har ding's recent New York speech,' in which the president expressed the hope that the present form of for eign obligations might be changed in a reasonable period and distributed among the people of the country, Mr. Mellon said that no plan of that kind had yet been formulated. All 'that the treasury has in mind now, Mr. Mellon explained, was that these bofifjs should be put into shape to use in exchange or to take up Lib erty bonds.

P. Unionists Hold Lead In Ireland Expected to. Have Approxi mately 40 of 52 Seats in Par liament After Final Returns Are Counted. All Parties- Well Pleased Hy Tim Annotated Trent. Belfast, May 20 Unionists have done better in the election than they anticipated, the Sinn Fciners, worse than their prophets predicted and the nationalists no more than they ' looked for. All are celebrating the unionists, because they have won; the nation- j alists and Sinn Feincrs, because they have made their protest against the partition of Ireland. Unionists expected to win 34 of the 52 seats. They will probably get nearer 40 scats. Daniel McCann, chief lieutenant in Belfast of Joseph Devlin, national ist leader, had hoped for 14 seats, but did not really believe more than 12 nationalists and Sinn Feincrs could be returned and he proved a good prophet. Counting of the ballots will not be completed probably until the end of the week but present returns show that the unionists made their greatest gains in Belfast, where it is expected they will have IS or 16 scats. One Nationalist for Belfast. Joseph Devlin is the only national ist or Sinn Feiner who will have a scat for Belfast, and even he was beaten in ' his own stronghold for first place on the poll by his union ist opponent. T. H, Byrne. His col league, Alderman Byrne, had only 311 votes, or 10,000 fewer than his lea'der. This was due to the national ists giving all their first votes to Dev lin. Sinn Feiners did better than Byrne, but on the first ballot they were well behind the unionists. The socialists here, as in other constituencies, lost their deposit, which they have to forfeit if they do not receive a certain number of votes. In. Antrim the unionists were pretty certain of six of the seven seats, the other going to Devlin. Barbour Heads List. Louis Walsh, Sinn Feiner, who was permitted to leave the deten- ! tion camp to take part in the election and who headed the poll in the county council election, is now near er the bottom of tht poll, although there gre many Sinn Feiners- in North Antrim and the glens of An trim. The unionist Barbour, headed ' the list, with some 17,000, a's com pared with Walsh's less than 5.000. At Derry the - unionists elected their three candidates all they had nominated, thus leaving the other two seats- to Professor John Mac Neil, Sinn Fein, and his nationalist running mate. In County Down, where Sir Jame Craig, Ulster premier designate, and Eamonn de Valera, republican lead er, were opponents, and where both will be elected, the seats will be divided equally between the two sides, two and two. The percentage of votes polled was high in West Belfast. It reached 94. It is noted that in many in stances the candidate whose name, was first on the list, which was. ar ranged alphabetically, received the most votes. For example, Sir R. Anderson, unionist, had nearly 2,000 more than Professor MacNeil in Derry, where the Sinn Feiner was expected to lead. , The nationalists probably will win eight seats and the inn Feiners four. .
