All Radical Socialists.
III there be any doubt as to whether
or not an effort Is being made in this
state 10 establish state SOCIALISM In
full bloom With one stroke, AS II were.
one need only investigate the lifelong
political affiiintiOn and activities Of
practically every man who Is In charge
OF any important work OF the Nom
partisan league. or even In public Of
flee By endorsement Of the Townley
machine. The last official record Of
Townley's political faith, prior to the
birth of the Non partisan league and
the death Of the Socialist party Is his
own registration affidavit signed at
Beach, ~ -. on the nth day OF April,
1914. A. II. Bowen, Townley'g chief
speaker and organizer, was twice can
didaie for governor ON the Socialist
ticket NJ. T. Elliott at one time pub
lishcd radical Socialist paper at
Minot, n. -. Mr. Elliott was at one
dime state manager for the N0n-parti-
san League IN North Dakota, now en-
pi0yed NJ headquarters at 81. Paul and
his place here turned over TO Axel
stfom Of Wiiiiston. another ayowed

Connection With |. w. w.
Il want to shy just word further
about Mr.. LeSeuer. This Ii the same
IeSener who, In the summer OF 1916. |
attempted 10 folst upon the farmers OF
this state working agreement, where
by they should employ |. w. W. labor
srs. In speaking OF this undertaking
before the !. w. W. lodge No. 400 ut
Kansas City, he said. III we tmeaning
the !. w. W.. can bring about this
agreement Il Will mean the transfer
ug Of the balance OF power from the
state government OF North Dakota TO
he Non partisan league and the |. W.
W. You Will remember that series
Df meetings held IN this state 10 ratify
he agreement on the part OF the farm
.rs resulted Ia It's rejection. Now IL
here are any members OF the league
present / want to ask you II you really
believe that which LeSeucr was In
Kansas City, trying 10 put through
his agreement telling the members OF
he I. ". W. that Il meant the trans
cring of the power OF the state Into
heir hands. he was really working In
he interests OF the farmers OF North
lakotaf Think Il over and see II YOU
au reach any such conclusion.
