ARTICLE /.

America has produced many
6reamers, she has produced many
promoters and many boss politicians
since the days of her declaration, of
Independence, but none have attract
ed the attention Of the nation nor
been more successful in gaining power
and financial support than Arthur G,
Townley. president Of the so-called
farmers National N~onpartisan
league.
In five years he has built a per-
eonal organization with a following
of 100000, dues-paying members
captured one state government which
he has absolutely dominated, has
threatened the overthrow of the
three adjoining and has stirred t
alarm the population of at least ten
other states.
The initial activities Of his organi'
cation in a state are we'll known. His
activities are centered principally up.
on getting money and members. or
ganizing newspapers and creating
general dissatisfaction with organized
society as it at present exists, laying
the foundation for future campaign
to be waged upon promises Of pOltti'
cal and Industrial reform through
radical political organizations an6

Of Townley the dreamer. the hopes o.
Townley the promoter or the ambi
tons Of Townley the boss politician.
So the writer will take you t.
North Dakota. where the dreamer
has realized his dreams, the promoter
has organized his schemes and tn
boss politician has perfected his pc
Ltical machine.
First we will relate to you the .ac'
tivities of Townley. the dreamer ant
promoter, before he became a polttt
clan. He was born and schooled II
Minnesota. Finishing his school day
at Alexandria, he went to Beach

doomed by real estate companies tina
were opening up the adjoining terri
