Georgetown, Dec. 6.-In order TO fully
equip a band of more than twenty-five
pieces with instruments, silver-piated, n
move is on foot by the young men of the
town, who have effected band or
ganization, to raise about $1,000, by
-alloting one hundred shares to the people
of the town at Sl2 per share. The idea,
it is said, is to vest power in City Coun-
Gil or the officers of the fire department,
to take charge of the instruments should
the organization disband, provided the
money raised should be by popular sub
scriptIon.
At present, however, the young mon are
working on the plan of selling shares. 1t
is held that should the funds be raised by
the townspeople on popular subscription
that II would be proper for the instrn-

LOYAL People Of Idaho will Not Stand For Candidates Who Are Under the Thumb Of LeSu
Proof of thee Connection NmpaHnL League Leaders With the w w. Forces Some admissions
fto Give Standing in Idaho ba Notorious w w and Sdhn BdnW Who Was
Keam the Background Until Tore Off heM Mask

The Nonpartisan league leaders have been smoked out
as to Arthur lie Seuer. The proof | have presented has
been more than they could stand. If it had not been for
this proof they would have gone on trying to fool the far
mers of Idaho about this |. w. w. leader by keeping him
i'm the background ready to spring as ldah0's legal advi-
ser from North Dakota in case the Nonpartisans win in
the November election.
These Nonpartisan league leaders now admit lie Seuer's
connection with the league but deny he was national sec
rotary" but documentary evidence (see his letter on this
page) shows that he signed himself: National Nonpar-
tisan league by Arthur lie Seuer, executive secretary"
These Nonpartisan league leaders i'm Idaho brazenly
attempt to defend lie Seuer and to give him some char
acter and standing in this state.
These Nonpartisan leaders Of Idaho express their pride
in Arthur lie Seuer, but the loyal people of Idaho will not.
The loyal people of Idaho do not want their public SER
wants under the influence of such a person as
Arthur lie Seuer, comrade of Bill Haywood, who wrote
Haywood a seditious letter against the government, even
going so far as to urge opposition to legislation to curb
German spies in this country.
Arthur lie Seuer, notorious l. w. w agitator, leader of
the organization that has held up farmers wherever they
have operated, and practiced sabotage of the most damna-
BILE variety-the same gang that the farmers of Idaho
were compelled to organize against for self protection.
Arthur lie Seuer, who, in another letter signed himself
"Yours for the revolution"

tive Secretary of the National Nonpartisan League. Do
Not Miss a Word of This Letter. 1t States Many Impor-
tant Truths.

Arthur lie Seuer, executive secre-
tary, the National Nonpartisan league,
st. Paul. Mimi:
Dear Sir-Your invitation to address
the N~onpartisan campaign rally is de-
clined by me for the following rea-
mi
The name of your league implies
that 1t is non-partisah. but in fact
there is no organization mor parti-
san At this time, when other politi-
cal parties are trying to put aside, for
the good of the country, any factional
spirit that might exist. your %organiza-
ton is doing everything within its
power to increase it.
At the time OF our entrance into the
European conflict your organizers cOn-
demned our government for entering
the war. When il became apparent
that this course would result In disas-
ter for their organization, they
changed their course and made an

You. who sign yourself as the exec.

from holding meetings in this state
and thereafter in Wisconsin and Illi-

purposes of your political party's self
constituted leaders, who are neither
real farmers nor real labOrers, but
Seli-seeking demagOgues, who the &C
tual farmers and the actual laboring
men of our state will SOON OF later
find, are nothing but pretended friends
wolves parading in sleeps clothing.
You, who appear to be the executive
secretary of this organization, were
the attorney who defended the MUIR
derers in the l. w. w. trouble on the
range two years ago., and who has
assisted the l. w. w. organization,
which has publicly announced that it
is it's intention ultimately to take the
farms from the farmers, whose head
quarters since the commencement of
the wal have been raided by the fed
eral government. and whose members
are now taking refuge in such organi-
cations as the National Nonpartisan
league.
How. under such circumstances. the
farmers of Minnesota. who have been
threatened with the loss of their
farms, who have time and time again
been compelled to appeal to peace Of
fcers for protection against the men,
bers of this lawless %anarchistic organ
%ization, can now join a league with
promoters whose sympathies have
been with this lawbreaking Bolshevik
element in Il society. is well nigh
incomprehensible.
Another reason for declining your
invitation is the possibility of constru-
ing my presence at your partisan cam
paign rally by some as an indorse-
ment of your propaganda. 1t is. of
course. the duty of the governor to be
fair to all classes and to oppose any
program which is apt to result in a
division of u state into classes. Such
~arraying OF class against class would
be welcomed by the enemies of our re-
public. for such a course will tend to
/ defeat our nation in this war and will
eventually mean the dissolution of
our form of government and the UNI
dermining of the economic and poll
teal freedom of our people.
In declining to speak at your party's
rally l wish to say further that for me
there are. during this war, but two
parties. n composed Of loyalists and
the other of the disloyalists. The only
party whose cause l shall strive at
this time to advance is the party COM
posed of those Americans who, heart
and soul. are loyal to their country,
The only issue that to ms is para
mount at this time is the winning OF
this war. and that cannot be done II
our house is to the divided against it.
self through raise accusations on the
part of political agitators such as
those who head your organization.
The only party and politicians
whom l am in this campaign going to
oppose are that party and those poll
ticians who. for party purposes, by
innuendo or otherwise. are discourag-
ing our people by claiming this is a

war begun by the rich, or that the
burdens of the conflict will fall more
heavily on one class than another,
who make statements which in some
way or another will lengthen the con-
fict by creating dissatisfaction at
home and thus indirectly cause the
death of additional thousands, if not
millions, of III fellow Citizens on Eu-
rCpean battlefields.
We all agree that war profteers
should be dealt with as drastically as
it. is possible to deal with them. But
it cannot be said that this is a rich
mans war, for those who have gained
most from it would have made great
er profits if the United States had not
entered it. 1 hold no brief for any
class, but to make the farmers or la
boring men believe their sons are dis
crimniated against in this war, for the
rich mans sons are conscripted pro-
~portionately, to a greater extent than
some of the farmers and laborers.
Your leaders are continually attack
ing what you term 'big-business."
Personally | am as strongly opposed
as anyone to what is known as gov
eminent by big business. 1 would be
equally opposed to a government by
any particular industrial class. The
public official who would allow him
self to be controlled by the self-ap-
pointed guardians of some element
OF society would thereby render him
self unfit to hold public office. If l,
as governor of this state, would per-
NIT myself to be put in a position
where l could be compelled to cater
to any particular set of men l could
not be fair to organized or morgan
lied labor. to farmers organizations,
to big business or to little business.
Knowing. as l do, the political nm
billions of your organization and the
false charges that some of its leaders
and agents have made through your
official newspapers against honest and
patriotic public officials, l cannot be-
lieve that back of the invitation you
have mi me is any sincerity of pur-
pose. The failure on the part of ANS
one to turn over the state government
to those of your officers who have as
sumed the organization of the alleged
Nonpartisan league and the control OF
the millions of dollars collected from
its members, will undoubtedly create
opposition, but l know that such men,
pretending to be friends of some par
ticular class and deceiving some we'll
intentioned people. cannot long con-
tinue their policy of deception, for the
patriotic farmers in the country and
the loyal laboring men in the city
know that their true friends are
among those who strive for the main
tenance Of law. order and justice, es-
pecially in this. the most serious hour
CT our history. for that unity of the
American people essential to the sue
cessful determination of the war. Very
truly yours.

TO THE FARMERS OF IDAHO.

| want to say that l am making your fight. l am MAX
ing a fight for every good, loyal citizen of Idaho. No one
per cent Of them are as true and loyal Americans as can
be found on earth. Five per cent of them are rank So
ciaists. | am not addressing my remarks to them.
Loyal citizens of Idaho, this government has paid out
millions of dollars for war contracts, scattered in practi-
.caly every state in the Union, with the exception of Idaho
and two others. If we keep our state clean, capital will be
seeking investments along every line in this state. New
settlers will be seeking homes in this great commonwealth
of ours. If Townley is successful in Idaho at the coming
election, not a dollar of outside capital will come to this
state.

American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1918-10-22

III 1OU WANT IOWNLE1 OONEhNOh Of 1DAHO!
Bear in mind, all the time, that Townley has elected
himself for twelve years as the master and the Gar of
the NOnpartisan League in this country and that he will
be IdahOs chief executive, debating its policy, through
his representatives, McKaig and SchOz.
Many are asking why, if Townley is a traitor, he is still
at large. This question was asked by Senator Sherman.
Read his remarks in the Congressional Record of May 8,
page GIG. leave it to you why Towney is at large. l
do not know. Here is what Senator Sherman said: Quot
ing Townley)
1--WE have been dragged into a war by the Amer
lean autOcracy, dragged into a war we did not want,
and we are told it is a wa to Gberate the people
from the control of autOcracy." - 4
"Townley, the man who, on the 9Th of July, 1917, at Buff
falo Lake, in Sargent county, North Dakota, delivered
himself of these sentiments, AT HEART WAS NOT A
GOOD CITIZEN, whatever promises he may make now,
however plausible may be his denunciation of others, how
ever much he may accuse others of falsehoods."
"Mr Townley is on record not only in this extract from
CHARACTER HIMSELF. AS l stated a few days ago,
he was five times on the platform with Frank Little in the
state of Montana. HE WAS THERE FOR SEDITIOUS
He was caught in the company of ". WIS
in that state. They were engaged in disturbances of the
public peace. What they did is we'll known in that state"
IN r THIS.
Every legislative candidate of the Nonpartisan league
is pledged to vote for only such legislation as is approved
by their executive committee, which means Townley and
LIE Seuer. Are not the candidates of the NOnpartisan
league for state offices similarly pledged as to their
duties?

THE TRUTH ALWAYS HURTS.

Of course the truth hurts. You talk about loyalty, Nc
Kaig and Scholtz. You have the same quality of loyalty
loyalty on this page. You brought the Townley brand of
loyalty" to Idaho, Ray McKaig. | will see that you do
not divert the minds of the people from the real issue.
You act in the capacity of secretary of the Nonpartisan
League in Idaho; a new position was created for Scholz
who is called the manager of the campaign. is 1T NOT
TRUE THAT o REPORT TO THE EXECUTIVE
SECRETARY, LIE SEUER, ONCE A WEEK? Is it not
true that you could be dismissed by Townley without a
moments notice? You and Scholz are but mere puppets,
employed by the most dangerous men this country has
ever known.
