Mrs. Crawford has known both Mr..

at the capitol apparently impresses
him as something more serious than
the spasmodic outbreaks of insurg-

These little rebellions always have
been directed against TOwnley and
his autocratic regime rather than
against any principles Of the league
movement. The first of these came
March 3, 1918. when Townley in an
all-night session endeavOred to OBJ

acted by the last legislature, Mr..
Townley challenges these men to
come out openly on the platform and
support the charges they are purport-
Ell to have made ''These traitors did
rot appear before the caucus because
they knew they were wrong and could
rot convince the farmer legislators"
