are nothing but pretended friends,

farms from the farmers, whose head
quarters since the commencement Of
the war, have been raided by the fed
eral government, and whose members

Arthur LIE Sueur, executive secre-
tary, the National Nonpartisan league,
st. Paul, Mimi;
Dear Sir-Your invitation to address
the Nonpartisan campaign rally is de-
clined by me for the following rea-
sons.
The name of your league implies
that it is partisan but in fact
there is no organization more parti-
san. At this time, when other politi-
cal parties are trying to put aside, for
the good of the country, any factional
spirit that might exist, your organiza-
ton Is doing everything within it's
power to increase it.
At the time of our entrance into tho
European conflict your organizers con-
demned our government for entering
the war. When it ebcame apparent
that this course would result in disas-
ter for their organization, they changed
their course and made an eleventh
hour claim to pure loyalty, but, not
Withstandins this claim, the National
Nonpartisan league is party of dis
content. It has drawn to il the pro-
German element Of our state. Its
leaders have been closely connected
the Red SOCIALISTS, pacifists and peace
advocates, whose doctrines are of ben
eft to Germany, are among their num-
bers.
Those in charge of the league have
catered to that faction of labor which
has violated the law and been opposed
to compliance with just orders of duly
constituted authority.
You, who sign yourself as the exec
utive secretary Of the league, were
connected with the Peoples Peace
council, which through my proclama-
ton of August 2S, 1917 was barred
from holding meetings in this state,
and thereafter in Wisconsin and Illi-
nois, but which was invited to North
Dakota by the governor, who was

pIaudins Of the unpatriotio utterances
of Senator La Toilette at your last
convention put a stamp of disIoyalty
on it that can never be erased. Your
present publicity agent lost the posi-.
ton he held at that time ebcause he
supported La FoIlette's unpatriotic
ideas, and after his Discharge by his
employer he was employed by your
Nonpartisan league.
Another Of your leaders, Joseph Gil.
bert, called a director and MANAGER,

because Of his disloyal utterances. He
together with Mr.. Manahan, an attor-
ney OF your organization, unpatriotic-
ally used a strike situation here to
advance the political interests of the

NEGROES ACCUSED
OF ROBBING AGED
BLIND PREACHER

Shaky Williams, a negro, and
Albert Sencher, negro youth OF
IA years, were arrested yesterday
by Policeman Johnson on charge
of robbery. A blind negro who has
been about the streets for several
days, preaching and begging, was
robbed of about $50 while he was
sleeping in Provosts' rooming house
in East Main street Wednesday
night. After the arrests the negro
boy is alleged to have made con-
fession, saying he watched the door
while Shaky Williams took the
money. The latter denies any part
in the robbery. Twelve dollars and
eighty cents was recovered from
the negro boy. He told several
stories about it but said he had
purchased suit of clothing for 81.
Chief of Police Segler does not be-
licve Williams had anything to do
with the robbery, but said he be-
lieved the little negro was not tell
ing him the truth. The blind negro
had three or four pocketbooks. In
one there was about $50 and va
rious sums scattered through 9TH
ers. One of them he called The
Lords Pocketbook.' In this he
placed 10 cents every time contribu-
tions received by him amounted to
81. The two negroes are being
held at the police station while the
case is further investigated and an
effort made to recover the remain
der OF the money.
