States marshal of North Dakota now

h said In part:
3 All Radical sociaIiets.
i, III there be any doubt as to whether
or not an effort is being made in this
state to establish state socialism in
fvll bloom with one stroke, as it were.
one need only investigate the lifelong
political affiliation and activities OF
practically every man who Is In charge
OF any important work Of the Non
partisan league. or even In public Of
flee by endorsement of the Townley
machine. The last official record Of
Townley's political faith, prior to the
birth Of the Non-partisan league and
tho death Of the Socialist party, is his
own registration affidavit signed at
Beach. n. D., on the 11th day of April,
1914 A. E. Bowen. Townley's chief
speaker and organizer. was twice can
fdidate for governor on the Socialist
ucket. NJ. E. Elliott at one time pub
lished radical Socialist paper at
4inot, N. D. Mr.. Elliott was at one
time state manager for the Non-parti-
san league in North Dakota, now en-
ployed at headquarters at ST. Paul and
his place here turned over to AXel
lSuo1n Of Williston, another avowed
Socialist.
"Most of you will remember that
some years ago there resided in Minor,
". D.. Socialist lawyer by the name
OF Arthur LIE Seuer, the man who took
quite prominent part in behalf Of
the l. w. w. at the time of the riots
At Minot some years ago. LeSeuer was
Immediately employed by Mr. Town
Iey as chief counsel for the league and
made executive secretary Of the Nom
partisan league. And SO We have the
president of the league, the chief or
xanizer. the state manager and the
chief counsel and executive secretary,
radical Socialists.
Connection With |. W. w.
Il want to say just word further
3Dout Mr.. LeSeuer. This is the same
AeSeuer who, in the summer Of 1916,
attempted to foist upon the farmers OF
tnls state working agreement, where
~ they should employ l. w. W. labor
tsrs. In speaking of this undertaking
before the l. w. W. lodge No. 400 ut
Kansas City, he said, If we (meaning
the l. w. W., can bring about this
agreement it will mean the transfer
aag OF the balance of power from the
state government of North Dakota TO
,tQe Non-partisan league and the l. ".
W. You will remember that series
Of meetings held in this state to ratify
0e agreement on the part of the farm
ecs resulted in its rejection. Now, if
mere are any mecbers Of the league
present want to ask you If you really
believe that when LeSeuer was in
Kansas City, trying to put through
thlS agreement, telling the members of
me l. w. W. that it meant the trans
1ering OF the power Of the state into
saelr hands, he WAS really working in
0e interests of the farmers of North
Oakota: Think 1t over and see IL YOU
esn reach any such conclusion.
At Home OF appeal to Reason"
"for many years there was con.
eected at Girard, Kan, Socialist
s<:aool, where the simon-pure doctrine
ot Socialism was supposed to be taught
% the students. And believe, by the
way, that Mr.. LeSeuer was q graduate
ot that school aud later on member
q the faculty. The school was under
Soe direction of one Walter Thomas
4s. Mrs. Kate Richards Oliara,
me Socialist lecturer and anti-war
9opagandist, who was convicted in
ne federal court at Bismarck last
speing for the crime of violating the
espionage law, and who was sentenced
" serve five years in the state peni-
9ousry at Jefferson City, Mo-, was
w graduate Of that school.
