NJ |. KELLEY, FORMER SOUTH
DAKOTA MEMBER OF LEAGUE,
GIVES FACTS VERSUS T0WNLEY
Mithdraws From League Because of Methods of Manage
ment-Declares Townley Betrayed
93a5@s Farmers in the Organization.

At the outset 1t must be conceded
that MI. Townley. showed fine ability
as an organizer and co-ordtnator OF
the many disunited elements and
every indication at las pointed to a
successful coming together where re-
suits might be obtained.
South Dakota seemed to be a very
promising field. The cause was just.
All three parties in the laeld adopted
the league demands and yet the
league failed. But little more than
half the actual membership went to
the polls and voted. or II they voted
the league candidate did moi receive
their votes.
Betrayed by Townley.
So convinced were the farmers OF
ableness of their cause. that a meet
ing was held last spring at Sioux
Falls for the purpose Of considering
ways and means to best present u
issues to the voters of the state. AT
that meeting were assembled over
thirty of the most prominent league
members of this state, including this
writer and Ii. G. Solem. 1t was un-
animously agreed that we must have
a daily paper Of statewide circulation.
We had heard that the Sioux Falls
Press could he purchased Nand we
concluded that the Press should be
our paper. 1t was determined hat
anothe. meeting should be held IN
about two weeks to make final ar
engagements to take vel the Press,
ard O. committee was to be appointed
to solicit stock subscription. I told
many league members of u plans
anc eli! were enthusiastic in their
favor n many expressed a Wiling
ness without solicitation to put up
their money FOR shares Of stock. But,
alas: that other expected meeting to
take over the Press was never called.
| Mr.. Lemke was at the meeting and
favored the plan. The national a
agement was expected to put some
money in if they desired. ~
In the meantime many people
asked me why we never obtained the
| Press, which institution we so much
needed in the approaching campaign.
On investigation l was informed that
! Townley did not favor the plan.
Reader. can you fathom the cause
! Of Townley's opposition to a move OF
| this kind? If ,Townley was as sin
cerely interested in this Of the
farmers as the men who assembled in
Sioux Falls, or as o have been,
would he not have seen in this move
a splendid opportunity, without cost
to the national organization, to in
sure the carrying of South Dakota
and putting the league principles in

Who Owns the Stores.

Tell us also. Mr.. Townley, about
the stores. Upon investigation it has
come to me that you are erecting
stores. especially in North Dakota.
This. is your plan, is it not? You pro-
coed through your henchmen to col
lect 500 a piece from a bunch Of
farmers who have absolute confidence
in you. Say there is a hundred Of
them. This gives you $4,000 for one
store. Then o start the store. OF
course, since the farmers paid for it
it's their store, isn't it Townley? No,
No No! ! Lemke figured out a
plan-for Bill is some legal light
so thai the store now belongs to him
and Townley, n Bill knows how to
keep within the law" Then where
do the 100 farmers come in who paid
them the 100000? Why, they have
the privilege Of trading at Lemke's
and Townley's store. Any other
privileges? Yes, Townley and Bill
promised them that they would sell
goods to them for. a period of years
at 10 per cent above cost. Who fixes
h cost? Bill and Townley:
The Scandinavian American bank is
another bright and shining example
of the astute sense Of self-preserva-
ton possessed by this great humans
tartan Townley under the legal guild
ance Of Lawyer Lemke.
Where did you get the money.
Townley? to possess yourself Of a
controlling power over this institu-
ton? You told the court you had no
property.
Finally, / wish to say to the farm
ers Of the Agricultural Northwest that
I have worked in season and out of
season for more than thirty years to
bring the farmers OF this country to.
