What Other Editors Say
REAL PATRIOTISM rs SHOWN.

A. C. Townley has been denounced
as un-American because he believes
in the program of the Nonpart1san
League, which is real democracy.
Ninety-fve per cent of the farmers
in Scandal township, in which Roth
is located, are members of the Lea
que. and about 40 of the other go
are in sympathy with the League
program. The farmers believe In
Townley and the League and conse-
uuently are in the same class with
Townley insofar as the American
| ism of the League is concerned. AND
in the recent Liberty loan drive
| Scandal township was allotted "a
600 worth of bonds. When the drive
was finished this townships total
subscription amounted to S1O,OOO.
Hulger Nordmark, one of the strong
est supporters of the League In this
vicinity. subscribed for 800 worth
of bonds, which is, we understand
the largest single subscription In
this vicinity. Mr.. John Lennon, one
of the strongest League supporters
in the county, led the drive. The
patriotic activity on the part OF the
farmers of our township as display
ed in this drive, gives the lie to the
anti-League press that the League Is
pro-German. The charge "Woe unto

critics! for We pay 1.-THE of mint ant
