4 Stephen II. Doyle. Il sterling Demo
n crat, and an appolntee of the National
5 Democratic administration as United
q States marshal of North Dakota, now
4 Democratic candidate for governor of
3 that state in recent speech tore the
! mask from the Non-partisan leaders
and revealed them as l. w. WIS, So
cialists and as such aids to the kaiser.
He said in part:
All Radical Socialists.
IF there be any doubt as to whether
or not an effort is being made in this
state to establish state socialism in
full bloom with one stroke, as it were
one need only investigate the lifelong
political affiliation and activities of
4 practically every man who is in charge
of any important work of the Non
partisan league, or even in public of
flee by endorsement of the Townley
machine. The last official record of
Townley's political faith, prior to the
birth of the Non-partisan league and
the death of the Socialist party, is his
own registration affidavit signed at /
Beach. n. d., OH the 18th day of April, ,
1914. a. e. Bowen, Townleys chief /
speaker and organizer, was twice can
dldate for governor on the Socialist /
ticket. NJ. E. Elliott ut one time pub
lished Il radical Socialist paper at
Minot, N. D. Mr.. Elliott was at one
time state manager for the Non-parti-
san league in North Dakota, now EN-
| nj, g..
his place here turned over to AXel
| Strom of Williston, another avowed
| Socialist.
Most Of you viii remember that
some years ago there resided in Minot,
n. D., IL Socialist lawyer by the name
of Arthur lie Seuer, the man who took
quite prominent part in behalf of
the |. W. w. at the time of the riots
at Alinot some years ago. LeSeuer was
Immediately employed by Mr.. Town
ley as chief counsel for the league and
mnde executive secretary of the Non
partisan league. And so we have the
president of the league, the chief or
ganlzer, the state manager and the
chief counsel and executive secretary,
radical Socialists.
