Warrant for President

st. Paul, Feb. 12-Attorney j.
Manahan reached st. Paul from
Lakefield today with the state
ment that he had been ordered
out of that town by the sheriff,
despite his plea that he was coun-
sci for Joseph Gilbert, Non-Par-
tisan league official, now on trial
on charge Of unlawful assemb-
lage. According to Manahan, he
appeared on the streets in Lake
field last night and was met by a
crowd consisting mainly of
youths, who cried: Here's the
man we want" while some mem
Der shouted: "Get a ropew De-
putty sheriffs arrived and "rescu-
ed" the st. Paul attorney, drove
him to Heron Lake, and instruc-
ed him not to return, saying they
could not insure his safety, he
said.
A warrant issued last night
for. A. C. Townley, president of
the National Non-Partisan lea
que, had not been served, Mr..
Townley being in Crookston. The
warrant charges him with con-
spiracy to discourage enlist
ments.

Ranting Reds

In It's issue OF February IL, the
Portland Telegram says: 'Radi.
cal, ranting, roaring Reds" are in
control, as a farmer member OF
the league has written, quoting
one of the leaders.
The league published the Non.
Partisan Leader in the German
language until a few months ago
when the government insisted on
having a translation in English
of everything appearing in the
German text.
But for the state senate the
constitution of North Dakota
would have been changed and the
words patriotism" and moral
|ity" would have been eliminated.
They were eliminated in the bill
as passed by the house and the
house defeated an amendment to
insert them. The Non-Partisan
league, which controlled the leg
islature, save for a group of loyal
citizens in the senate, in trying
to change the constitution at
tempted to provide a method of
evading military service.
Control of the Non-Partisan
league is in the hands of Town
ley; a treasurer, namel Reyes,
who handles the money in all the
states where there are branches
of the organization; T. B. Wood
and William Lempke. This is
the executive committee. They
have handled millions of dollars
and yet on the witness stand re-
Gently Townley did not know any
more about the financial end of
the organization than an ordin-
ary citizen, judging from his tes-
timony.
Townley, a Socialist and "red
card" man, surrounded by "red
card" men, has done everything
in his power to get the I. w. w.
into North Dakota and, thru the
bipartisan league governor, to
protect them and see that they
got an extra high wage from the
farmers. One of the original I.
w. w. organizers, F. H. Bohn,
was introduced to an audience at
Grand Forks by Townley as a
representative of the New York
Times. The Times denies that
he ever had any connection with
that publication. Townley was
largely responsible for inviting
the Peoples Peace council to
meet in North Dakota.
Led by I. w. w.. pacifists, So
cialists and pro-Germans, the
Non-Partisan league has been
breeding unrest, discord and dis
loyalty to the government of tie
United States.

DON'T FORGET TO WRITE TO THESE BOYS

Here is list Of the boys from this
and of the county who are helping t.
amake the world safe for democracy"
AT best their liyes in training camp,
on shipboard and at the front will be
far from pleasant. There are bound
to be some mighty lonesome days
when it will be hard to swallow down
that homesick feeling; days when a
letter from 'homc," no matter who
the writer may be, will look Like q
thousand dollars.
Pick out some name in the list
doesn't matter whether you know the
how or not-and write a letter today.
It will do the lad a lot Of good and
will cost you only three cents and q
few minutes time.
We are going to print this list each
week. If you know the name and ad.
dress of any Soldier" boy who has
been omitted, mail or telephone his
name to US.
