says an official dispatch from Berlin,
has issued an appeal to the German
people. saying that "in order to make
end of the bloodshed" a deputation
has left for the front, and that "the
negotiations will be seriously endan-
gered by disturbances and lack of dis
cipline."
German newspapers announce that
State Secretary Hauseman and Gustav
Noske, Socialist member of the reich
stag, have been sent to Kiel by the
government. Hugo Haase, leader of
the Socialist minority in the reich
stag. and George. Ledebour, leader of
the Social Democratic party, also are
there to complete the formation Of a
local committee.
German Social Democrats have mott.

NEWBERNY'S 1859
Total Represents 2,196 Precincts Out
Of 2,3o2 in Michigan--Wayn
County Complete.

Detroit-With nearly the entire
election returns in Michigan in
Truman II. Newberry, command in
the United States Navy at the port of
New York, won the election from
Henry Ford for United States Senator
from Michigan by majority of near
ly 5000.
Ontonagon county is the only coun-
ty in Michigan from which no re-
turns have been received. IL has 4
small vote and probably will not give
more than 100 majority to Ford,
should the latter carry it. Newberry,
if he is the choice, is more likely 10
have a somewhat larger majority.
The assumption is based on the ex-
perience in one or two nearby upper
peninsula counties that were carried
by Ford in the primary and by New
berry in the election.
Thursdays scattering returns boos-
ted the Newberry majority slowly.
The missing precincts in Huron, Mar
quette and Tuscola counties, which
were all carried heavily by Newberry,
added to the latters figures until they
passed the 5000 mark.

In response to the question, "Did

about paying men acting as you were
out of the funds of the Nonpartisar

"He stated he would pay me out Of

it to appear that my services were ia
him."
"Your services were for. him in q
confidential capacity?"

Praise For Farmers
Rev. MI. Maxwell praises the
farmer membership Of the league. He
says:
"The league machine is one thing
the league membership is a totally
different thing. The league member
ship is a body of splendid men, knights
of the soil, loyal, stalwart, clean, true,
magnificent farmers"
Referring again to the machine that
controls the league, extracts money at
will from the membership and assumes
autocratic power over all affairs of the
organization that is supposed to be
governed by the will of the farmers,
Rev. Mr.. Maxwell says:
"The membership has nothing to ,lo
with its construction. It is not re-
sponsive to the will of the members.
The machine is the creation of the
boss. It is responsive to not will but
the will of the boss.
"The boss himself who constructed
this machine to dominate the league
was never elected by the league. He
usurped his position, as is the custom
of all autocrats."
Proved At Convention.
The statement that the will of the
membership is dominated by the will
of the machine was born out at the
league convention last March. Al
that time state candidates for office
We're named at a secret session of tn,

delegates" were not given any oppor-
tunity to vote on these candidates.

NEW IDEA BORN.

"My God, George, you are a

have a beautiful certificate
printed in splendid patriotic
colors-red, white and blue
and the name of the purchaser
engrossed thereon in bold let
tiers. 1 will have it framed and,
by God, the old hayseeds will be
proud of it, and will want to
show it to every farmer in the
community"
These are the words of A. C. Town
ley, president of the Nonpartisan
league, quoted by Rev. S. R. Maxwell,
in the first of his series of articles on
"The Nonpartisan League from the
inside"
The exclamation came with the in
auguration of a new scheme to sell
life memberships to the farmers at
$500 each when the league was verg
ing on bankruptcy at the close of the
disastrous Lindbergh campaign.
Faced with bankruptcy at the
close of the Lindbergh campaign in
Minnesota, the Nonpartisan league has
inaugurated a "life membership
scheme for the state, whereby A. c.
Townley, president of the league,
hopes to reimburse the drained treas
ury by selling 1000 farmers life GER
tiicates at $500 each.
This new move of the league ma
chine to obtain more funds, with the
revealment that a vast amount Of
the farmers money was sunk in the
state in a futile effort to nominate
Charles A. Lindberg at the primaries
June II, is brought out for the first
time in the first of a series of articles
by Rev. S. R. Maxwell.
Get Coin or Sink
1t was "get more of the farmers
money or the league must collapse"
according to Rev Mr.. Maxwell, when
A. c. Town1ey, president of the league
called together his chosen ring of adz
visers and put the case up to them.
George Brewer is said by Rev. Max
well to have made the suggestion that
chit Townley like a shaft of light"
The suggestion was Immediately
acted on and for the past few weeks
league organizers have been combing
Minnesota to find 1000 farmers will
ing to exchange $500 for a red, white
and blue certificate showing they
have a life interest in the league.
Promise of Governor
With the sale of the certificate, ac-
cording to Rev. Maxwell, goes a prom

FOR S1O0 CASH YOU
CAN BE A LIFE MEMBER

Use to the farmers that the league will
elect a governor on an independent
ticket this fall. At theh secret confer.
ence it was agreed this would be the
most tempting bait that could be hello
out to the farmers and most likely tt
bring results.
Rev. Nj. Maxwell says that at ths
time of the conference "the treasury
was sucked dry and a new stream
must be supplied. The patient cows
stood ready to be MIXED, but they
must be interested at the head end OF
they will refuse to give any mors
milk"
Contempt for Farmers
1t was after MI. Townley had an
nounced he would have the certificates
printed 'insplendid patriotic colors-
red, white and blue" that Rev. Mr.
Maxwell quotes him as saying, "Why
the old hayseeds, they'll be proud of it
and will want to show it to every
farmer in the community"
Rev. Mr.. Maxwell draws a distinct
line between the league machine and
the membership, and points that Mr.
Townley, in autocratic control of the
machine, is using a system of bossisn
to extract more and more money fron
the membership already in the league
when new memberships fail to keeI
pace with the reckless expenditure Of
the league funds.
The Life Certificate.
It is reported that a number o1
farmers have already purchased thu
life memberships, and it is the hope Of
the chad of the league to raise 5000.
900 for further political effort in Min.
%nesota. It has recently come to light
that this life membership plan is to be
pushed in North Dakota, also.
In exchange for his 800, according
to Rev. Mr. Maxwell, the farmer gets
only a splendid patriotic red, white
and blue certificate"
Townley Owns League.
Rev. Nh. Maxwell expressed no
amazement that the league should
have had but a few thousand dollars
left in its treasury. He refers to Mr.,
Townley's career of bankruptcy in
North Dakota and declares that the
league membership is due to go on the
rocks with Nh. Townley if the league
machine is allowed to proceed with its
unhampered schemes for s%quandering
money.
That MI. Townley holds himself to
be the boss Of the league, its owner
in fact, is brought out in this article.
This substantiates the testimony Civ
en- by F. A. Tigen before Gideon S.
Ives, referee in bankruptcy, June IL,
1918.
What Townley Claims.
Mr.. Teigen told how Boss Townley
had paid him for personal work, done
solely in the interest of Boss Townley
with a personal check drawn on the
Nonpartisan League funds.
Asked if Townley had told him he
