SOCIALISM UNMASKED

That interesting Non-partisan
League brochure (which the SIG vic
: tim is never permitted to see) called:
General Rules for Organizers" con-
tains a formulate for convincing a
Roman Catholic prospect" that
Townleyism IS NOT Socialism. And
said brochure was written by a for
mer employee of the Appeal to Rea-
son. Can you beat it?
Kansas, with her bullying bank
vaults, presents a seductive lure to
the North Dakota Trotsky. And
knowing how lavishly Herr Townley
hands out rich plums to those bankers
who have given aid and comfort to
his "cause" AFTER he has taken over
the banking business, as in Dakota,
several Kansas bankers are qualify
ing," judging by the sympathy shown
the red-faggers by certain Kansas
bankers. Certain newspaper men al
so have it in mind that the Bolsheviki
may need an editor Or two after the
revolution is an assured success.
The conference" of the Commit
tee of IS" Sounds perfectly limo
cent? to be held in St. Louis, Decem-
Der 9th, is the boldest attempt in
American history to "Townleyize" or
Bolshevize the United States All the
great industrial disturbances of revo-
lutionary character of the past year,
were merely a barrage laid down
ahead of this conference" to assure
its success. The Reds hope to ANAL
gamate all the radical elements in a
political band or league, play for the
balance of power in the 1920 prinl-
aries, and in this manner, elect the
next President Of the United States.
The Non-partisan League and I.W.W.
are to be the cornerstones of this new
political society-which, of course,
insures the success of the venture.
It's dollars to doughnuts that not a
single Kansas farmer is told by the
Townley agitators that his SIG is be-
ing spent for such purposes.
For the first time in history, one
man is master of all he surveys in an
American commonwealth Da-
kota. Every court, every appointive
official, and most of those elected by
the "deer peepul," are subject to the
will of His Bolshevistic Majesty, Herr
A. (after) C. (cash) Townley, Pres
ident, sole owner, and sole beneficiary
of the esteemed and so-called Non
partisan League His latest show of
autocratic authority was in calling
for the dismissal of the examiner who
dug up and reported the rotten prac-
tices of Townley's Fargo bank, which
caused it to be declared insolvent.
The prize joke of the seaosn is the
Non-partisan Leagues threat to sue
the Kansas farmers who have stopped
Any Kansas farmer knows that he has
perfect right to stop payment on a
check that is held by a Townley bank
in Dakota which loans $8,OOO.O0 at a
clip to Arthur LeSueur, the noted
l. W. w. attorney. If the esteemed
League should sue all the Kansas
farmers who have stopped payment
all the lawyers nthe Mississippi val
ley would be kept busy until the
seventeen-year locusts come again.
All of the Non-partisan League
agitators are trained" in a schoo
at st. Paul which is presided over by
Mrs. Arthur Lesueur, wife of the not
ed I. W. w. attorney. In lesson mum

you know-ten just enough to ge
