LEAGUE IS ORGANIZED

The On to Victory idea, promulgat-

spreading over the state like wildfire.
On to Victory Rallies at which the
oath of allegiance vii be signed anew
by loyal Americans, dedicating every

the nations cause, already have been
planned by score of North Dakota
cities. Practically every county in
the state already is in the thick of
campaign which is expected to align
every citizen Of North Dakota with
the cause of democracy, justice and
universal brotherhood.
To carry on this great drive, which
is expected to eliminate next summer
in the greatest loyalty congress Amer
lea has ever witnessed, patriotic men
representing every section Of North
Daokta have organized an On to Vic

used appears on Page One of the

card and mailing it to Secretary Hells-
