LEAGUE lecturer IS
army INSTRUCTOR IN
WESTERN army CAMP
PROSECUTED BY AGENTS OF
BIG BUSINESS AND PRIVA-
TIERS, HE is GIVEN RESPON-
SIBLE POSITION BY ARMY Of
FICERS AT VANCOUVER.

FlCEkS AL vANAOO xA1Ss
Leo S. Horst, formerly Nonparti-
san league lecturer in North Dakota,
has been advanced to the rank of SER
geant in the United States army and
has been assigned to detached duty
as a teacher at the casual canton
ment at Vancouver, where he teaches
two classes in English and classes in
democracy, loyalty and patriotism,
There is nothing unusual in the
above statement at first glance.
Many Of the young men, in fact most
Of them, who have been in the en-
ploy of the League, are now in the
service of their country. But Horsts
case is little different.
AFTER HE HAD MADE ID AT
TEMPTS TO JOIN DIFFERENT
BRANCHES OF THE MILITARY
SERVICE HE WAS ARRESTED
FOR SEDITIOUS UTTERANCES
DURING AN ADDRESS HE MADE
AT A LEAGUE MEETING.
There is nothing particularly un-
usual about that either, for the Kept
Press and Big Business have made it
their business to see that men who
have been engaged in the work of or
ganizing the farmers of the nation
into the Nonpartisan league have
EVEN TO THE EXTENT OF
BRINGING UNBIASED AND UN-
PROVABLE CHARGES AGAINST
THEM IN THIS TIME OF WAR.
THIS WAS THE CASE WITH THE
HORST CHARGES.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the federal grand jury at
Fargo and an indictment was re-
turned against Horst. When the case
was brought into court, however, it
was Immediately dismissed and Horst
was given a clean bill of health. The
papers fighting the Nonpartisan
league and all farmers movements
made a great spread about the ar
rest and the indictment, but THE
FACT THAT HORST HAD BEEN
CLEARED OF THE CHARGES
WAS CARRIED, IN EVERY IN
STANCE, UPON AIN OBSCURE
PAGE OF THE PAPERS AND UN-
DER SMALL HEAD LINES.
Thus far the Horst case followed
about the usual lines of the persecu-
tion which, for time, followed Nom
partisan league speakers and organ
izers. But right here it changed.
The attention of the State Council
of Defense Of North Dakota was
called to the case and they decided to
investigate. They never got very far
with the investigation, however.
THEY COULDN'T FIND THE
MAN WHO HAD MADE THE
CHARGES.
Letters addressed to the postofflce
address given at the time of the COM
plaint were returned to the State
Council of Defense with the notation
that no such man was known there,
nor had he. ever lived there.
It made the case look as tho it was
purely trumped up affair. There
was no proof, there was no witness
and there was no justification for the
arrest, according to the later develop
ments.
Then, when it was all over, Leo
Horst made another application for
enlistment, and, in spite of his eye
sight, which had caused his rejection
before, he was accepted and taken
into the spruce production service.
The United States army officers
thought enough of him to advance
him, in the space of few months,
from private to sergeant, and then
had confidence enough in his loyalty
