Nonpartisan in Esau's Role
HAS Not Done a Good

Last week a resolution was pub
lished in The Herald, at the request of
the Nonpartisan league members at
Grafton who found fault with a pa
ttiotic speech delivered there by Rev.
Jonathan Watson of this city, and de-
nounced it as "disloyal and unpatri-

say a few words about the resolution.
Under the head, Inconsistency. thou

torially, as follows:
1--WE publish in another column. a
ing held here on Wednesday by some
members of the N%onpartisan league.
The tone shows to what extent certain
members of the league have fallen I'M
der the hypnotic spell of Townleyism.
They condemn as ''disloyal" and
"unpatriotic" a speech made at the
Red Gross sale last Saturday in which
referred to the dangersrof Townleyism
and LaFolletism at the present crisis
in the history Of our Nation. They do
not question the truth of any of the
statements made by the speaker.
They do not deny hat Townley made
the statement attributed to him in his
speech at Williston last June, viz.
that this was a war of the rotten
rich Nor do the resolutions state
how much they estimated such a
speech by Townley helped the cause
of the Red Cross War Fund Cam
paign which was on at the time he
made this statement. They do MOI ex-
plain why they, who now seem go
solicitous for the welfare Of the Red
Cross cause. adopted no resolution de-
%nouncing his speech as "disloyal" and
i"unpatriotic."

Governor aided the u of the Red

much concern.
Apparently. their fear that mixing
politics with the Red Cross may con,
to the practice Of taking Red Cross
collections at the Townley political
meetings in Minnesota. Would they
say, as they insinuate with regards to
Mr.. Watson's motives that such col
llections were presumably for polid-
cal purposes?"
