ST. LOUIS, May 17.-Judge J. NJ.
Hanly, of Mandan, N. D., delegate to
the national caucus of the American
Legion, which met here few days
ago, says the political issue in North
Dakota is Americanism versus social
ism, and that the state wide special
election on July s will be one of the
most important in the history Of Amer
lean politics. Judge Hanly, who also
is Major Hanly, is here with Adju-
tant General G. A. Frazier, Of North
Dakota. He said to-day:
Our people are fast waking up to
the fact that the Nonpartisan League,
controlled by A. C. Townley, of ST.
Paul, in what it is trying to do at the
special election in July, is essential
socialism of the international type.
North Dakota, being almost wholly
agricultural, sees more good than bad
IN the establishment of state banks
and state owned elevators. But the
Iownley people are not content to stop
there. They have arranged a state
policy that, if adopted, will put North
Dakota out Of joint with the United
States, both in governmental theory
and practice. The Nonpartisan League
of North Dakota, made up Of some OF
the best people in the world-clean,
patriotic, religious and Industrious
is drifting into socialism without be-
ing aware of it,
Cites Educational Bill
First is the leagues educational bill.
The bill vests in a commission of three
power to say what textbooks shall be
used. 1t is becoming understood by
our people that this means compulsary
use In the public schools of the Mills
textbook on political economy. The
book stands for international social
ism. The ants believe this to be sub
versive of Amer;canism. 1t will lead
to putting Karl Marx ahead of George
Washington, Abraham Lincoln or Theo-
dore Roosevelt. All told, there are
eight Nonpartisan League bills upon
referendum July 8. If we beat the
educational bill it will mean the re-
pudiatlon of Townley.
Oul iSNuI iIiiS SOlOieTS nave no use
for socialism. They know more about
its practical endings than does MIR.
Townley.
Commission Plan Opposed
Then there is an industrial commits
SION bill. Lincoln said the commission
idea usually was a cheat on the govern
ment and the people. This bill vests
in five commissioners the control Of
industries Of the state. 1t would hand
1t over to Townlcy, who lives in Mime
sofa. The Townley programme has
started revolt against the Ncnpar-
tlsan League. Attorney General Will
liam Langer, State Auditor Carl Kosit-
sky, Secretary of State Thomas Hall
and State Treasurer Obert Olson were
elected on the Nonpurtsan League
ticket, but they do not like the social
istlc drift Of things, and they are op-
posing the Townley programme.
Another bad bill is the one sub
sidzing Nonpartisan league newspa-
pcrs in every county by directing that
public and legal advertising shall ap-
