has endeavored to create the impress
sion that the farmers or union men

Paul meeting. 1t was called by Mr..
Townley and engineered throughout
bv him. He selected the speakers,
and it is natural to presume that he
knew from past performances what
might be expected of them. Nobody
blames the farmer for what Mr.. Town
lev does or says, or might do and
say, were he permitted to go the
limit. And no one could possibly at
tach any blame to the union men, for
they we're not invited in to the pro-
German love feast which Townley so
successfully staged at st. Paul They
were denied a place on the program

league organ, in reporting LaFollette's
speech, IAN ovation was given him,
and it was necessary to form a flying
wedge to get him out of the building
to catch his train, so close was the
throng that pressed around him to
grasp his hand"
The St. Paul News, which has been
friendly to the league from the start,
saws editorially in its Saturday issue:
Sen. Robert NJ LaFollette made a
big mistake in choosing the subject

Paul Thursday evening. 1t was only
a small part of his speech, but it was
a rotten part. The uttering
of it was totally wrong. Utterances

FRIENDS IN DEFENSE.

Friends of the Nonpartisan league
recognize the necessity for explana
ton and defense of the "Nonpatriotic'
conference staged in St. Paul last
week under the auspices of Pres. A
c. Townley
A league mouthpiece, which in its
Fridays columns told glowingly of the
frantic demonstration accorded Sen
Robert NJ. LaFollette after his TRADE
against the American government and
his defense of Germany, says editori
ally Sunday:
"Out of the unguarded and unwise
remarks of Sen. LaFollette before the
conference of producers and consum
ers in St. Paul on Thursday evening
newspapers which have long made il
their business to be hostile to any
enterprise of the farmers. are attempt
ing to create an indictment of the
farmers of, the northwest. Thus the
battery of newspapers use
such expressions as 'Nonpartisans
cheer disloyal utterances' and the
charge is parroted by the stupid lit.

that the league is responsible for all

HUSBAND AND WIFE
Want $4,000 EACH
FOR ELECTRIC SHOCK
Allege Defective Wiring Caused
Severe Injuries When They
Touched Light Cord ~

Adam B. Stolz and wife have begun
suit against the Mandan Electric com.
pany for 100000 for injuries sustain.
ed through alleged faulty wiring of
the Stolz residence. There are two
cases each for $4,000. The accident
in which Mr.. and Mrs. Stolz sustained
severe burns on the hands and feet
as result of touching a drop cord
occurred June q. A disorder of the
transformer near the StOlz house is
alleged to have caused cross cir.
cult in the wiring in the house. Mr..
Stolz was injured when he took hold
of drop cord and Mrs. Etolz was
hurt when she touched his person, the
current being transmitted through his
body. - az
TIE defense of the electric company
has not been made public, though the
papers in the case are being prepared
from the office of the company's at
torney, John F. Sullivan.
Considerable public interest is be-
ing manifested in the case, which
will probably come to trial at the
next term of court In December.

HOLD FAST AND TRUST!

The other day scores of our newly
selected soldier boys set off for theil
environments, to begin drilling for war
There was a great crowd on hand tc
bid them godspeed. A good many
mothers, wives, sisters and sweet
hearts wept over the parting, and a
good many fathers and brothers had
Jumps in their throats. To send q
loved one to war across the ocean is
a most serious matter
In the latter part of June, Pershing
expedition landed in Europe. Tha
was three months ago, and the men O.
that force are not yet sufficiently wei
drilled to take active part in the fight
Remember, these men were regu
lars, soldiers by profession, our veter
ans, it might be said. If it requires
over three months to drill our veter
ans for fighting, how long will it take
to so drill the absolutely raw recruits
who recently left this town? 1t mus,
take many more than three months
without doubt.
1t is the intent of our government
to next send the national forces that
had experience last year on the Mex
lean border, and after them the con
scripted men. If the government is
able to train, equip and transport the
conscripted men by June /, 1918, il
will be most remarkable achieve
ment.
Consider, too, that, owing to weak
ening of resources and national NOR
ale, the coming winter is certain to be
the most trying that Europe ever
knew, making stronger the chances Of
peace by springtime.
In the cantonments, the highest Of
scientific skill will be devoted to car
ing for the boys mental, moral and
physical welfare. Many a young man
will come out of those cantonments

political power is rising here in tho

y year ago they called this new
power "thc revolt of North Dakota"
Now the revolt has spread into other
states, gradually widening, thrusting
eastward, southwark and Pacific
coastward.
A year ago the organization was
confined to North Dakota, where it
had captured control of the Republi
can machine and every state and ju-

headquarters, here in St. Paul ,occu-

hundreds of organizers working in
over a dozen states.
Today the league has permanent
state organization in seven states

orado five other Estates will have
state organizations before the year is
over-Washington, Nebraska, Kansas,
Oklahoma, Texas.
Advance scouts are in Iowa, Miss
ouri, Illinois, Mississippi, Kentucky
and Tennessee.
The league will not pose in every
state as third party. In some in
stances it will step in and take con-
troll OF the party machinery from one
of the old parties, just as it did in
North Dakota. In some states the
league may be working for the DEM
ocratic ticket; in others for the Re-
puDl,cans; and in sllll others for a
mixed ticket Of republicans, demo
Gratis and socialists.
Whether we. run our ticket or
name the ticket for one of the old par
