Pleasance OF Pembina Co.,
Who Acted In Accordance
With Dictates OF Con-
science, May Be Killed Po-
litically. l.
(Sran Correspondent.)

Bismarck, N. D.. Jan. 15.-Expul-
sion from the Nonpartisan league
caucus and the penalty to being read
out of the league is the penalty that
today hangs over Representative
Pleasance Of Pembina county because
he voted with the minority on the
ratification of Z. the constitutional
amendments. Pleasance stood with
the minority throughout despite the
fact that he had signed caucus agree
ment. A. c. Townley went before the
caucus last night determined that the
league should make an example of
the first member who failed to abide
by the decisions of the caucus, and
Pleasance was called upon to explain
his action. Pleasance explained that
he could not give way to his own be-
lief, despite the caucus iron rule.
Senator Walter Wexford of Pembina
and another caucus member whose
identity could not be learned were ap-
pointed committee to investigate the
Pleasance affair. They presented
their report last night, in which they
recommended that final action be de-
layed for a day or so.
a I~cuAO1Ad COu11Iy ucAS6dlAOu ID CA
pected today 10 intercede in behalf Of
Mr.. Pleasance. Pleasance presented
a statement, stating that he, himself.
did not believe that the amendments
had been legally passed at the recent
election: that he believed that his own
constituents were opposed to the
Socialist principals embodied in such
amendments. and that because of his
beliefs he absolutely could not abide
by the caucus but voted as he thought
right.
The investigation into Mr.. Pleas
ance's case was commenced Monday
evening at the instance of Townley
and men,persmof- his elmer 4 circle
controlling the Nonpartisan league
caucus. 1t was Monday afternoon that
Pleasance refused to vote as the caucus
dictated. The action of Pleasance is the
first instance of it's kind in this year s
caucus and the drastic steps that have
been taken to drive him back in line,
are recognized among several league
men as serving notice upon all caucus
members just what they may expect
