WOULD BAR TOWNL.EY
No-Party Head Booked To
Speak There Saturday
HOME GUARDS PROTEST
Call Upon City Commercial Club
TO Take Action On the
Matter
From Tuesdays Daily.

Especial to The Free Press.
WoIthington, Mimi, March IA
c. Towniey, president Of the Nation
| nj Non Partisan lea que, is advertised
to speak in this city Saturday after
moon, March 1G The announcement
has stirred up a hornets nest and
there's likely to be something doing
if he appears to fill his engagement.
ToWnley spoke here October Il
1917. The mayor and city authori-
ties tried to bar him, but young
fellow named Johnson rendered the
luse OF his roller rink. The sheriff
was in communication with the GOV
CrnOr'5 office and Oil his (the sher-
iff's) statement, that he was ordered
TO let the meeting progress and to
stop it if there We're any diSloyal ut
ToWnley was quite moderate in his
talk, which was taken down in short
terances, the meeting proceeded
hand by j. j. Harper, court reporter
for Hon. L. S. Nelson, judge Of the
district court. Since that date the
league has held two meetings here, at
which the speakers were fairly mod :
crate, though there was abuse of the
press, and insidious remarks tend :
ing to prejudice the farmer against
the business man.
Matters Take Or Different Phase.
Since the Lakefeld affair however
matters have taken on a different
phase and the well nigh universal
opinion in Worthington is that Town
ley should not be permitted to talk
there Saturday Or at any other time.
Friday night, after their regular
weekly drill, d Company, Sixth Bat
talon, Minnesota Home Guards, rook
the matter up and passed a resolu-
ton, by unanimous vote, calling on
the Commercial club to take formal
faction to prevent the meeting, also
calling on the sheriff of Mobiles coun-
ty not to permit Townley to speak,
The guards mean business.
Meeting CT Club Tonight.
A meeting Of the Commercial club
will be held Monday night to take
action. Just what form this action
will take cannot now be predicted
but it is a fairly safe bet that Town
ley will not speak here Saturday. There
lis widespread opinion that he de-
sires to appear here and hold an os-
tensibly loyal meeting to offset the
Jackson affair With "a very few OK
cepticns, citizens of Worthington
stand solidly be hind the Home Guards
and the authorities. The men be-
hind the moyement-and that in
cludes practically every business man
and citizen in this city-feel that the
time has come to put a veto on league
meetings here and 10 set Mobiles

ments may be expected tomorrow.
