ing Evidence.
NOPARTY REPORTER HELD

Fairmont. Minn.. Mar ia. c.
Towniey president OF the National
NOnpartisan league and Joseph Gil
bert manager, today were indicted by
the Martin county grand jury on
charge of publishing and circulating
seditious literature tending to discour
age enlistments in the military and
naval forces of the United States.
Two indictments were returned,
each naming botn men. One is based
on a pamphlet containing the leagues
policies with regard to the war and
the other on a resolution passed at
the NOnpartisan conference in St. Paul
last September, when Senator LaFol-
lette, delivered his now famous adj
dress. Fred A. Harding, a Minneapolis
newspaper man who arrived in Fair
mont with the Nonpartisan party, and
who has been handling the case for
the Nonpartisan league newspapers,
was arrested late today OH a charge
Of perjury, and placed in the county
Jail.
Swear Falsely, Charge
His arrest was the result of an afli.
davit he swOre out at the request Of
H. a, Paddock, Townley's attorney,
stating that deputy Sheriff VIM. Roe
PIKE. III charge Of the grand jury. told
Harding early today that there was
little question that Townley and Gil
bert would DC indicted, as the jury
had before it on the booklet '"rhe Far
mer and Townleyism," a bitter attack
on tho head of the league, written by
J. q. Bacon, Grand Forks editor.
The affidavit was introduced in
court by Paddock when Townley and
Gilbert were arraigned. being made
the basis of motion to quash the in.
dictments on the ground that the book
was not sworn testimony.
Roepke and Assistant County At
torney l.. J. Seifert, who was said to
have been with him at the time, de-
MED knowledge of such a statement
by the deputy sheriff and County At
torney A. r. Allen, Immediately issued
a warrant charging Harding with per-
jury.
Booklet Evidence Denied.
This resulted in the arraignment be.
Ing delayed until 10 a. m. Wednesday.
Judge G. NJ. Tiff stated when the mo.
ton to dismiss was made that the af-
fidavit was of little consequence and
as far as he could see had nothing
to do with. the indictments. 1t was de.
MED that the booklet had been intro.
duced as evidence. Harding said to.
night that he made the, affidavit at the
request Of Attorney Paddock to whom
he mentioned the alleged conversa-
ton in a hotel.
Resolutions Near Treason
The Nonpartisan league resolution
on which one Of the indictments was
based follows:
"'rhe principal cause of this world
war was, and is political autocracy
used to perpetuate and extend indi-
vidual autocracy. It is the struggle
of the political overlords to extend
and perpetuate their power to rob and
exploit their fellow man. ,..
"Autocratic rulers who have robbed
and exploited the fathers and mothers

single purpose of further entrenching
themselves in. their position of sec
uring and legalizing their possession
