new TRIAL MOTION
in T0WNLEY CASE
LAWYERS FOR LEAGUERS AL
LEGE 1O9 ERRORS MADE IN
COUNTY COURT.

st. Paul, Minn-Attorneys for A
c. Townley, president of the National
Nonpartisan League, and Joseph Gil.
bert, former League employe, filed
a motion for new trial in Jackson
county district court last week, alleg-
ing 1O9 errors by the court in the
trial of the case last summer, when
the two men were convicted of a
misdemeanor under the state sedition
act.
Judge Dean, who presided at what
has been termed the most farcical
trial in the history of the state, re-
ceived the motion for new trial. No
oral argument was made and the court
reserved his decision.
That Judge Dean will deny the mo-
ton for new trial, making an appeal
to the supreme court necessary, is
confidently expected by the attorneys
Of Townley and Gilbert. Both before
and since the trial Judge Dean has
bitterly assailed the Nonpartisan
league.
The 109th error cited includes inn
proper conduct by the trial judge in
"a separate counts. Exceptions were
taken to sarcastic and prejudicial re-
marks made by the court On various
occasions during the trial and his
threat to fine the League mems coun-
sci for contempt of court" One of
the rerors cited relates to the refusal
Of Judge Dean to allow Mr.. Townley
to make his closing statement to the
jury in his own behalf. Others relate
to the unfair rulings of the court,
making it impossible to impeach the
states star witness, Ferdinand Tel

repeat the folly of militarism when
once the opportunity has been given
to prevent it = s
Are the people Of the United States
so much advanced in spiritual force
and are they so self restrained that
they can be trusted to build up ar
mics and navies? The people of
Mexico and the other Americas do
not believe so any more than the
French believed in the right of the
Germans to establish militarism. The
people of the United States do not
believe SO any more than did the peo-
pie Of Germany, helpless in the cloth
OF the giant that they had permitted
to feed upon them.
The World War Veterans believe
that the Great War should be the
last war and to this end they ask
their friends to wage relentless war
against Universal Military Training.
Another important campaign must
be waged againset lawlessness and
disorder now rampant in the name of
"Americanism." The World War
Veterans believe in the Constitution.
"as it is written" and the right of
free assembly and free speech.
Against this misinterpretation Of the
Constitution the World War Veterans
offered their united opposition and
call upon all whom love liberty to re-
sist in every lawful manner the tyr
amy Of any press, platform, legisla-
ture Of Court that seeks to abrogate
the guarantee of personal liberty of
speech and peaceful assembly.
The World War Veterans believe
that President Wilson's original four
teen points are the proper basis of
Universal peace; and they accordingly
ask the members Of the Auxiliary to
work for such a peace. They are de-
termined that the people of the World
have too much in common to be NOV
ed about the checkerboard Of war on
the slightest pretext. They feel that
every Nationality has right to live
and develop as long as they do not in
terfere with the rights of others.
To win real peace the World War
Veterans call all the members of the
Auxiliary to assist by speech, vote and
in keeping the fourteen
points as proposed by the President of
he United States.
For the citizens of the United
States the World War Veterans de-
ire constructive Americanism based
lpon the education of every citizen in
he arts Of peace. They recognize that

the World War Veterans call upon the

'HELIOTROPE" COMPANY
IS WELL-PALANCED One

The motion picture public no longer
goes into ecstacies over "all-stlr
casts. They have learned. through sad
experience, that the term "all-star' Is
very elastic, and is applied by some
producers to any picture IN which a
recognized star of the, screen is not
playing.
When a picture like "Heliotropc,"
TO be presented at Moore's Garden
Theater all week, beginning Sunday,
comes along, therefore, with such hn
excellent cast and makes no preten-
tions OF being ''all-star,' the players
are worthy of special notice.
Frederick Burton, who plays the
title role, is a veteran of the stage
and screen who has distinguished him
self in scores of roles both here and
in London.
Diana Allen, the pretty ingenue
member. is a graduate of the Ziegfcld
Eollies, and Wilfred Lytell. who plays
her screen sweetheart, is brother OF
Bert Lytell, the Metro star.
Julia Swayne Gordon's name is IA
miliar to everyo1c who makes
hobby of following screen celebriti rs.
Others in the company are Ben Hen
bricks, Betty Hilburn. Clayton White,
William b. Mack, William II. Tooker
and Thomas j. Findlay.
