SUCCESS IN NORTH DAKOTA

Nonpartisan Political League Carried

ming Governorship and Legislature.
-Four More States Join-Plan Public
Ownership of Food Plants.
Naturalization of the Nonpartisan
Political league, an organization of
farmers which swept the political
boards Of North Dakota in the last
| campaign, has been announced at Bis
marck by A, 9. Townley. president of
the organization.
With the removal Of the leagues
headquarters from Fargo, N. D., to st.
Paul, Mimi, comes the statement that
organization work is to be carried on
in four more states, Iowa, Nebraska,
Michigan and Wisconsin being added
to the list Of states in which the asso-
citation will work.
North Dakota, South Dakota, Mime
Sofa and Montana are already being
organized, and later, President Town
ley says, the organization work will be
extended to the Pacific coast states,
the southwest and the extreme south.
"The removal of the headquarters
and the launching Of our organization
work in the other states means the
movement has become national in its
scope" said President Townley. 1.-THE
program of the Nonpartisan league in
North Dakota in it's essential seeks to
find a remedy for alleged economic
abuses from which the farmers in the
state have suffered.
What They Plan to Do.
Programs in other states in which
organization work is going forward are
almost exactly similar. They call for
strict state supervision of marketing
conditions and public ownership Of i'm.
portant industries which relate to the
marketing of the farmers products,
such as grain elevators, by which it is
| proposed to establish a fair system Of
grades and marketing, packing houses.
cold storage plants and flour mills.
ultimately" said President Town
ley, I'VE shall have federal ownership
of grain elevators and other important
and necessary adjuncts to marketing.
which are now controlled by monopoly
to the great injury of every citizen OF
the United States, consumers of farm
products as we'll as farmers"
President Townley says it is planned
to have a great national gathering of
the league members in st. Paul within
the next two years, probably within
the next year, which lie believes will
be the greatest gathering of farmers
ever held.
Each Of the states in which the OF
ganization is now under way has al
executive board of farmers living il
that state.
Success Brings Recruits.

Rule Of Good VIII Found Wanting.
The Kerensky rule of good will and

is a regime of "blood and iron" not
