Take Towney first. He openly
worked with the Socialists until he
discovered that the farmers were not
inclined that way. Ever since he has
been attempting to promote Socialism
thru the NonpartiSan league. He is
today as much Socialist at heart as
he ever was. He has catered to pro-
Germans everywhere.
Arthur LeSeuer is executive secre-
tary of the Non partisan league and
Townley's most active right hand
man. LeSeuer directs McKaig and
Scholtz and all the other Non-parti
san league leaders 10 Idaho. He is a
rank /. w. w. and has been interest
ed in formulating and extending the
pro- German sentiment IN this
country. Read his letter to Bill Hay

ALL IN A STRING.
Here we have Debs, Haywood,
Townley, LeSeuer, McKaig, Mann,
Scholtz, and all the others who are
attempting to deceive the farmers of
Idaho, lined up together-whispering
hot air In the farmers ear while pour
ing the poison of Socialism In his
coffee.
In March of this year LeSeuer, as
executive secretary of the national
Non partisan league, wrote Governor
Burnquist, of Minnesota, asking him
. to address convention Of the league.
Governor BurnQulst declined. He
branded the partisan league
leaders as disloyal and LeSeuer as an
l. w. w. and said, among other
things:
"How, under such circumstances.
the farmers of Minnesota, who have
been threatened with the loss Of their
farms, who have time and again been
compelled to appeal to peace officers
for protection against the members of
this lawless, anarchlstic organization
can now join league with promoters
whose Sympathies have been with
this law breaking, Bolshevistic
element of our society is we'll nigh
incomprehenslble."
CONDEMNED BY ROOSEVELT
In the course of a liberty loan
speech at Billings the other day
Theodore Roosevelt, the best friend
the farmers ever had, read LeSeuer's
letter to Haywood and commented on
it. Roosevelt denounced the Non
partisan league leaders as un.Amer-
can and Bolshevistc. And he said
more. He declared there was not
pro German 10 the country who was
not praying for the success of the
Townleyites with their ranting Social
ism. They want McKaig and Scholz
and Samuels and the whole lot to win
in Idaho. Do you?
Roosevelt admitted that the Non
partisan league leaders had fooled
him for a time hut at last he saw
them 10 their true colors, SO he re-
pudiated them, lust as others are re-
pudlatng them.
