ERUPTION BREAKS IN
NONPARTlSAN LEAGUE AMONG
THE FARMERSO OF KIDDER COUNTY.

Another eruption has broken out
within the Nonpartisan league, this
timeithe farmers Of Kidder county be-
ing involved They are making de-
mands for an Independent organiza-
ton, seeking to get away from the
control Of A. C. Townley and Cover
nor Frazier, and establishing their
own unit.
The movement has become SO dan
gerous to the continued existence Of
the Socialist regime in Kidder county
that Mr.. Townley has dispatched
Comrade A. E. Bowen and Comrade
Joe Gilbert to the district to break
up the movement.
Prominent in the movement aimed
at the destruction of the Townley
regime within the N~onpartisan league,
and which also means a reputation
of the absolute Socialist control Of the
state administration now exerted by
Townley through Governor Frazier,
are a former Townley organizer, a Mr..
Sullivan of Robinson, and Editor Nc
Alroy Of the Dawson Press.

ed out.
Rumblings Of discomfort among the
Nonpartisan league members of Kid
der county have been heard for some
time, but Mr.. Townley. Governor
Frazier and other Socialist leaders
had, in a measure, ignored it up to
this time, having hoped not to pre-
cipitate an open break previous to the
elections of next Tuesday.
When the Socialists discovered,
however, that there was a marked de-
Election of Nonpartisan league mem
bers from the Ffazier-Townley ticket,
and from the Socialist amendments,
they could no longer ignore the situa-
ton, and have sen their emissaries
into the county to break up and
throttle the county organization, just
as the Socialist chief has throttled,
from time to time, other movements
launched by the farmers to obtain
some voice in the management of
their own affairs, and some voice in
the expenditure Of the millions of dol
lars that have been poured into the
Nonpartisan league treasury.
Messrs. Bowen and Gilbert are said
to have arrived in Kidder county on
Monday or Tuesday Of this week, and
they have gone about the task of elm
mating the county leaders who have
dared to challenge Mr.. Townley's die
tatorship over Nonpartisan affairs.

Statement OF Conditions.
"In the course Of our HISTORY, we
have been subject to and victims of
aggressive and selfish nations and
autocratic d%ynasties. and held in sub
lection by force of arms.
I'VE have suffered destruction of
our cities, violation of our homes and
lands and we have maintained our
ideals only by stealth, in spite Of the
tyranny of u oppressors.

their names hereunto. do hereby
pledge on behalf of their respective
nations that they will unitedly strive
to the end that these wrongs shall
be righted. that the ~sufferings Of the

set forth shall be incorporated in the

which tell of deadly strife. l see
the chesty horses, they paw and
neigh and prance; they've heard
not of the corpses and bleaching

should be the critters which draw
their loads all day, and take their
oats and bitters as an abundant
pay; their backs may we'll be ach-
ing when evening rest hours come,
but hearts are never breaking
among the critters dumb. l won
der what they're thinking, the
horses in their stalls, the mules
out yonder drinking, the cow that
sadly bawls! Have they no sense
of humor, no cogent line of
thought, and have they caught no
rumor of this sad world dis
traught? All men are in a lather
when this or that side wins, but
ROSTERS never gather to read the
bulletins. Men watch the fight
out yonder, discuss it with a will !;
but porkers seem to ponder on
nothing but their swill. The
beasts have been around us since
Adam made his churn, and yet
when woes confound US they do
not care dern. Their minds have
grown no broader since Noah lost
his hat; they eat our grain and
