PARKER JUNKIN
UNDER ARREST
Play Made By Nonparty Heads
To Discredit Author
BUT He STANDS PAT"
Declares No Regrets Over Cir
culating That Pamphlet
About Lirdbergh

I st. Paul, May 13.-Tom Parkerg
Junkin, whose arrest on technical
charge OF violating the corrupt prac-
tees act, was brought about Saturday
by the Nonpartisan league, issued
statement explaining his position.
Junkin is the author of a pham-
phlet which exposes Charles A. Lind
bergh's attitude on the war. Lind
bergh's book is quoted to show that
the Townley candidate for governor
took disloyal stand.
The Nonpartisan league, claiming
that the book was of a political ma
ture, charged that it should not have
been circulated without the customary
information as to the author and the
persons circulating it.
Statement BY Junkin.
Junkin says that he is the author
and that the only reason the informa-
ton was not put on the pamphlet
was because he did not think it was
to be construed as political. He says
that it was written for the benefit of
all loyal people in Minneapolis.
|, 81 am proud of the fact that
wrote, had printed and am circulating
the booklet This Is My War;" he
said.
However, / am not surprised that
Mr. Townley and Mr.. Lindbergh de-
sire to suppress the circulation of the
pamphlet and the court action / re-
gard as an effort to discredit me and
my work. 1t is in line with the
numerous libelous attacks that have
been made on me by the TOwnley
kept press since came to Minnesota
after l had opposed the TOwnler
propaganda in North Dakota, and ex-
{ posed it for what it really is-the most
radical socialism.
"This Is Ny War;"
''This pamphlet. This Is My War;
breathes the spirit of loyalty. and d
hatred on anything having the at
mosphere oil disloyalty. For this rea-
son it will continue TO be circulated
throughout Minnesota as long as there
is any demand for it-but of course,
I. will see that the law is fully COM
piled with to the very minutest de-
tail in it's broadcast application.
81 challenge any loyal citizen to read
| Charles A. Lindberghs book Why
| Your Country Is At War and not have
his deepest feeling of resentment
stirred, as was mine when l read it.
You will recall that that book was
the subject of most of the questions
fired at Mr.. Townley in his examina-
ton before the United States senate
military affairs committee in Wash
ington few days ago.
SIN his book Mr.. Lindbergh openly
! opposes Liberty loan bonds, attacks
the administration of the Red Cross,
| declares CONSUMPTION wrong, and says
the people have been driven like cattle
I by Big Biz to support these and other
patriotic movements"
| Extracts from Lindbergh's book
have been published in The Free
Press. Mr. Junkin spoke before The

Edward Heating doesn't have to
apologize for his war record, whether
you approve of his reluctance to get
into the war or not. He has backed
the administration to the limit on

the only way to get thru war is to
fight thru, and the harder the fight.
the quicker the job is over.

Don't go by the war map! That

as follows:
1.-THE whole effort of the govern

up the fighting spirit. Peace talk
is dangerous. No shipworker will
make the error to think the war is
nearly over. America has just be-
gun to fight.
