LEAGuERS PLAN TO
TAKE AWAY power
Charged State Council of De.
tense Is Clothed With Too
Much Authority.
Rv Dennis

Pierre, S. D., March 20.-Members of
the legislature who are members of the
Nonpartisan league, 20 in number, had
a conference last night and formulated
some amendments for the defense coun-
Gil measure. They claim it is not
properly ~safeguarded as now drawn and
that it practically bestows %autocratic
authority upon officials to go to any
length in interfering with personal
affairs.
Instead Of defining the powers OF the
council. the measure, as now drawn,
gives it sweeping authority to do any
thing not specially prohibited by state
and federal laws.
The amendments which have been
outlined fix certain limits. They seek
to restrict h councils authority to
actions directly connected with the up
holding of state and federal laws, now
in force or hereafter enacted.
The distinction is regarded by them
as quite important.

TROUBLE AIRED
Nonpartisan Leaguers and
Those Opposed Are in Evil
denCe-Governor Is in
Big Quandry.
BY DENNIS

Pierre s.. D., March 20.-Interest has
been brought to a high pitch here in
the recent Gregory county attack on
the Nonpartisan league organization,
through the arrival of L.. j. Duncan,
state manager for the league, and Opie
Chambers. of Dallas. chairman of the
Gregory county branch of the state
defense council.
Mr.. Duncan had a two hours inter
view with Governor Norbeck last night
n asked the governor to Make care
full investigation of the affair with d
view of Furnishing those who partici-
pated in the attack.
MI. Chambers had ar interview with
the governor this morning inc gave
his version Of the affair at Gregory.
In conformity with recent newspaper
statements given out by him, Mr..
Chambers denied that he personally
had any part in organizing the attack
on h league organizers. He admits
that he was there. but declares that
his participation in the melee came
about through trying to rescue the
league organizers from the mob.
He Would Prevent Meetings.
In n event. Mr.. Chambers is frank
league meetings should not be per-
mitted in the state. and admits his in
tention to apply the restrictions in
Gregory county if continued in au-
thority.
Mr.. Chambers turned over to Gov
ernor Norbeck pamphlets and letters
taken from the grips of the league
organizers mobbed at Gregory. the
pamphlets are the same as those which
have been IN general circulation for
the past eight months, and which
league officials claim have been in
spected by government officials.
Organizers Wife Writes.
There are two letters cited as eXhi-
bits. One Of these apparently was re-
ceived by an organizer from his wife.
