"a cook has become most efficient

mess sergeant at Mons is now colonel

Lord Derby, that there Is no ring, and

The socialist doctrine teaches that
the state must own all OF
wealth and that the hours of labo,
must be limited to keep production in
exact consumption. In other words
the socialist doctrine says to the indi-

Socialist Leaders.
IF there be any doubt as to whe1h-
er or not any effort is being made in
this state to establish state socialism
in full bloom with one stroke, as it
were, n need only to investigate the
lifelong political affiliation and &C.
tivities of practically every man who is
in charge of any important work of
the Nonpartisan league, or ever in
public Office by endorsement of the
Townley machine. The last official
record of Townley's political faith,
prior to the birth of the Nonpartisan
league and the death of the socialist
party, is his own registration affidavit
signed at Beach, North Dakota. on the
18th day of April, 1914. A. E. Bowen
Townley's chief speaker and organic
er, was twice a candidate for governor
on the socialist ticket. M. E. Elliott,
at time published a radical social
list paper at Minot, N. D. Mr.. Elliott
was at one time state manager for the
Nonpartisan league in North Dakota
now employed at headquarters at st.
Paul, and his place turned over to Aael
Strom of Williston, another avowed so.
%cia1ist. Most Of you will remember
The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1918-09-25

that some Years ago there resided in
Minot, N. D., a socialist lawyer by the
name of Arthur LeSeuer, the tna who
took quite a prominent part in b,half
Of the I. w. w. at the time Of the Iiuts
at Minot some years ago. LeSeucr
was Immediately employed by Mr..
Townley as chief counsel for the leag-
ue, which position I understand he still
continues to hold.
"And so we have the president of
the league, the chief organizer, the
state manager and the chief counsel,
all radical socialists.
II want to say just a word furthet
about Mr.. LeSeur. This is the same
LeSueur, who in the summer of 1916
attempted to foist upon the farmers of
this state a working agreement where
by they should employ only Il. w. W.
laborers. In speaking of this UNDER
taking before the I. w. w. lodge No.
400 at Kansas City, he said: If we,
(meaning the I. W. w. can bring
about this agreement it will mean the
transferring of the balance of power
from the state government of North
Dakota to the Nonpartisan league and
i. w. W. You will remember that at
a series of meetings held in this state
to ratify this agreement on the part
of the farmers, it was rejected. Now,
if there are any members of the
league present, I want to ask you it
you really believe that when LeSueur
was in Kansas City, trying to put thru
this agreement, telling the members
of the I. w. w. that it meant the
transferring of the power of the state
into their hands, he was really work.

North Dakota? Think it over and
see if you can reach any such conclu-
sion.
Mills and Mrs. O'Hare.
"For many years there was con-
Quoted at Girard, Kansas, a socialist
school, where the simon-pure doctrine
of socialism was supposed to be taught
to the students. And,I believe, by the
way, that MI. LeSueur was a graduate
of that school and later on a member
of the faculty. This school was under
the direction of one Walter Thomas
Mills. Mrs. Kate Richards O'Hare,
the socialist lecturer and anti-war
propaganda, who was convicted in
the federal courts at Bismarck last
spring, for the crime of violating the
espionage law, and who was sentenced
to five years in the state penitentiary
at Jefferson City, Missouri, was also
a graduate Of that school.
And I just want to say a word herr
in connection with Mrs. O,Hare, who
was in my custody for a short time
following her arrest and again after
her conviction at Bismarck. She is a
woman of considerable natural talent,
possesses an active mind ano is quite
a fluent speaker, but has the most per-
verified ideas on governmental ques-
questions with which I have come in
contact. She says she owes all Of her
