ST.PAUL NEWSPAPERS
WELCOME T0WNLEY'S
$250,0O0 LIBEL SUIT

A. c. Townley, head of the Non.
Partisan League, who secured Sena-
tor LaFollette of Wisconsin to speak
at the so-called "business" meeting
in St. Paul, when LaFollette made
his stellar I. w. w. address attack
ing the government, will have to
prove that he is worth $25O,OOO, the
sum he has asked of the St. Paul
Dispatch and Pioneer Press for in
jury to his reputation, for the fol-
lowing is the reply of the newspapers
to Townley's threat:
Mr.. Townley makes the crown
ing mistake of his career if he
supposes that by a threat of any
nature he can throttle these .
newspapers or swerve them a
hairs breadth in the discharge
of the public duty so imperative
in this hour of national stress
and struggle. The threat i'm
piled in his demand is accepted
for all that it could signify.
The Dispatch and Pioneer
Press will welcome Mr.. Town.
ley to court of justice. The
issue will be that of loyalty and
patriotism. These newspapers
join that issue with Mr.. Town
ley and will rejoice to submit it
to a jury Of Americans. And the
sooner the better.
