KARL MATHIE PRESENTS
FACTS ABOUT N. ID.
NONPARTISANS

Karl Mathie, who has been devot-
ing the past several weeks to speak
ing in the interests of the Democratic
state and national campaigns, spoke
Saturday night before a packed hall
in the town of Easton, and on Sunday
in the town of Frankfort Sunday
evening he addressed an audience in
the town of Marathon and later,
large audience at Marathon City.
Mr.. Mathie showed the connection
between the Socialists and their tool,
the Nonpartisan League, as it exists in
North Dakota. The Nonpartisan
league is in control in that state and
has taken steps that are typical of
socialism whenever it gets control, its
latest step being an attempt to control
schools and libraries.
March Under Red Flag
"They have refused to pass a law
against the display of the red flag"
Mr. Mathie declared in one talk. "And
why? Because the whole covetous
crew of Socialists, Bolshevists, Com
munists, and Nonpartisan league au-
tocrats, march under that same flag
with Walter Thomas Mills beating the
big bass drum and Mrs Kate Richards
O'Hare the snare.
Like the Russian Socialists, they
have passed laws killing off a free
press, a law SO Ubiquitous that over
sixty independent newspapers have
gone to the wall in North Dakota.
leaving the field free for the Townley
Kept Press" supported partly by
taxation, but turning it's profits over
| to the Nonpartisan gang.
No Free Press
"They have passed an Anti-Liars
| law, forbidding a citizen of North Da-
| kota to say one word about North Da-
kota or any of its officials that is not
true under penalty of Imprisonment
| in the penitentiary for one year. And
| then Kate Richards O'Hare goes about
| shedding vitriolic tears because free
dom of speech is abridged in the Unit
| ed States when as a matter of fact the
| only state in the union that abridges
| free speech is her socialistic North
| Dakota!
| "In the big cities they preach the
| common ownership of the great farms
upon which our prosperity rests but
| in the country they preach the COM
| mon ownership of what is in the city.
II
their sinister purpose, they falsify
definitions from the dictionary to hide
| the we'll known fact that Socialists the
world over teach the doctrine of pub
lie ownership of land and capital.
Destroy Ballot
| "And now they have destroyed the
secrecy of the ballot in North Dakota
by permitting the voter to take any
one he wishes into the booth with him
/ What may not happen behind that
curtain to free corruption? In Rus
| STA the Socialists force the voter to
| disclose in the open before commits
| sars, for whom he intends to vote
| Thus the secret ballot is 'scrapped
| along with the free press, free speech
and freedoms flag.
| "They pirate of universal brother
hood, but every Socialist, every one
| of the gang back of the NOnpartisan
| league, every enemy of your govern
| ment is against the League of Ma
| tons, the greatest document since the
| constitution and the declaration of in
| dependence, and the only plan in
| sight to wipe out war and establish
| international friendship on an endur-
ing basis.
| "The NOnpartisan league and its
| father, Socialism. are bred in the
| muck of class hatred which has beer
the curse of European countries. We
| want none of it in America, as we
| want to give every boy and girl born
| in these United States, fair chance
in a free country, where the door OF
opportunity stands open to the am
| bition of ALL
