THE ARGUMENT HE WILL UNDER
a.. STAND.

If Townley throws 800 Of his paid So
cialist organizers into North Dakota after
the Minnesota primaries, Fargo should
answer him with 1000 volunteer organ
izers in Fargo alone, and there is a good
chance of it being done.
The John Steen club will meet tonight
at Stones hall. Any Fargo voter who
feels that the time has come to give Town
Ieyism the rebuke it deserves, and who is
willing to declare himself for John Steen
for the Republican nomination, will be
welcome at the meeting.
The club started with approximately
100 members. This list will be multiplied
many times before election day. 1t should
include every man in Fargo who wants to
see North Dakota recover from it's de-
bauch of Socialism. And every one of
them should be willing to take his coat off
and go to work as a volunteer campaigner
from now until election day. That is the
only way to answer Mr.. Townley and his
white fingered gang.
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1918-06-11
NOT OUR FIGHT, BUT YOURS.

After June 26, The Forum hopes to be
able to forget politics entirely for time.
But for the next two weeks politics must
! be second only to the war in it's Importance
to the people Of North Dakota.
In fact it is so inseparably connected
with the war, that it cannot be considered
apart from it. Politics may be dead, as
President Wilson said, between loyal cltl-
zens but 800 paid political agitators tor
the Nonpartisan league haven't heard the
news yet.
The Forum has no more interest in the
campaign than that Of any self-respecting,
loyal citizen. It probably won't make any
difference in the revenue Of The Forum
whether the Minot ticket is Endorsed or
defeated. We have no favors to ask of
Mr.. Steen or his supporters, nor have we,
on the other hand, any " educational prop
uganda fund" of 100000 to safeguard.
The Forum is in the fight for one reason
and only one reason: its sense of duty and
responsibility as a newspaper, incompre-
hensible as that reason appears to be to
Mr. Townley's itinerant Socialist orators
and his party organs.
Therefore we have no apologies to make
for permitting politics to occupy so much
attention during the next two weeks. It
isn't The Forum fight, but the fight Of
every man and woman who has dollar s
worth of property Of any kind in North
Dakota or who hopes to have some day;
and above all else, of every man and
woman who is whole heartedly and sincere
ly behind the men who are fighting our
battle against the Hun.

IF THEY VOTED IN FRANCE.

Suppose this coming primary election
were held at American headquarters in
France.
Suppose the North Dakota soldiers now
in the American Expeditionary Forces
were to cast all the votes on June 26.
Suppose they came in on brief furlough
to vote, after their experiences with the
Hun gas, Hun mantraps, Hun atrocities of
all kinds, and found on the ticket as can
didate for the Republican nomination for
governor a man who permitted himself to
be advertised as a speaker with a man ar
rested for sedition, man indicted for Sc
dition, and a man convicted and sentenced
for sedition.
Suppose they found that he had been Sc
lected for the position in secret caucus,
by the same man who picked @. A. Lind
bergh for governor of Minnesota; by the
man who urged farmers not to buy bonds
until their grievances were righted; who
is himself under arrest on two separate
counts who tried to make an agreement
with the I. W. W. which organization was
plotting to obstruct the war in every way
possible by sabotage and open revolution /;
who is on record as being a member of the
Socialist party which stands on the in
famous anti-war platform adopted at St.
Louis year ago.
Suppose the soldiers found that the op-
position party was headed by John Steen,
an American farmer Of Norwegian birth,
running on platform of straight and IN
conditionally loyalty; supported by men
against whom the only charge is that they
are flag waivers"
Suppose, in brief, that the boys were
choosing between an American Trotzky
and an American farmer, how would they
vote? Facing the hordes of Germans
brought against them because Of the
breakdown of the Russian revolution
caused by just such movement as Amer
lean Socialists are trying to foist upon
America, how would they vote9
We think Mr.. Townley would get just
the Stacker" vote-about one-thousandth
of one per cent.
Let us vote as the boys shoot this year.

Geo. COn1StOcR
Receives Call

George NJ. Comstock, Of Moorhead,
formerly first lieutenant in Battery
F, Of Moorhead, today received two
calls in the army, one to attend an
officers training school in the heavy
artillery at Fortress Monroe, w. Va,
and one giving him permission to go
to Camp Lewis, Wash. as a draft
ed man.
Mr. Comstock has decided to attend
the officers training school and leaves
Wednesday. He will enter the school
as a first class private and will take
a three months course, training for
a commission as lieutenant in the
heavy artillery.
Mr. Comstock made application for
the artillery camp when in Minnea-
polls several weeks ago, applying
through the Military raining Camps
association. His permission to go to
Camp Lewis came through Adjutant
General Rhinow's office at st. Paul.

such movement spring up and wither
away, while the great labor movement
which they have SO. carefully fostered, has
gone on year after year and prospered,
slowly but surely winning the confidence
of not only the general public but the en-
ployers.
Mr.. Townley is not friend Of either
the farmer or the laboring man. He is a
very good friend Of Mr.. Townley and that
tells the story.
If it comes to choice between Mr.. Com
pers and Mr.. Townley, The Forum as an
adherent Of union labor principles both
in preaching and performance, will tie to
Mr.. Gompers.

GOMPERs OR TOWNLEY2

Does Samuel Gompers, the president Of
the American Federation of Labor for
many years, and the "Grand Old Man" of
the entire labor movement, represent Ga
Dor" or do the few Nonpartisan Office
seekers who happen to be in temporary
control of the state federation In North
Dakota represent it7
At the convention of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor just opening in St. Paul,
Mr.. Gompers said he didn't even want to

The federation refused to permit
Nonpartisan speaker to address it after
the experience at Buffalo, year ago, when
Mr.. Townley spoke. Socialists were con-
demned in no uncertain terms
But in North Dakota through the efforts
Of some Of the Office seekers in labor s
ranks, the Nonpartisan platform has been
