Do we want this in Iowa? Do We

us at this time, wearing a homemade

years in the future, to be the laugh

Of the socialistic Nonpartisan league
Organized and capitalized out of dis
content and prejudice, the Nonpartisan
league has swept North Dakota with
its socialistc schemes, making a mil
lionaire out Of A. G. Townley, who,
before he conceived the idea of the
new socialistic party, was bankrupt.
He was a socialist; he surrounded
himself with other socialists and some
l. w. w. agitators. They promised
the farmers of North Dakota that they
would make them kings, and they col
lected hundreds of thousands Of dol-
lars in dues. They carried the 1916
election and will carry the state again
next fall. They will run their meteor
ic course of socialistic destruction,
bankrupt North Dakota and finally
turn it back in ruined condition to
the people, when their theories under
go the inevitable collapse
But in the meantime they are bring
ing those theories into Iowa, to poison
the minds of farmers and working
men here. They have achieved that
very purpose in Minnesota and that
state is on the way to Nonpardsan
victory in the election of next fall 1t
is one of the nations richest common
wealths today. The Nonpartisan
league, when it shall have completed
its work Of destruction in Minnesota,
win leave 1t as bequest the task of
rebuilding its fallen fortunes.
Already, after year or a little
more, North Dakota's treasury Is so

The Nonpartisan league, being
founded on impractical ideas and de-
structive policies, cannot survive. The
socialistic agitators who are fathering
it know this. But they know also
that while 1t lasts its dupes will fatten
the wallets of the organizers OF the
