STOP THIEF.

In many western states there is
deeper interest over the efforts of
the Non-partisan league to secure
control in state politics than there
is over the presidential election. AS
. matter Of fact defeating the league
in any state is Of more vital impor-
lance in that state than the election
Of either of the presidential candi-
dates for president.
Either Mr.. Harding or Mr.. Cox
would mean the continuation Of our
representative American form Of
government; while control Of any
state by the Non-partisan league
means the Establishment Of class rule
and the setting up Of socialistic in
stitutions.
Personalities and prejudices are
the stock in trade of league lead
err. It !, by binding the public to
the real issues involved that they
seek to secure power. Their speak
ers denounce so-called "capitalistic"
control Of our present political part
les but no political party in the hist
Dry Of the United States has had
such autocratic control and direction
as has the Non-partisan league in its
headquarters in North Dakota and
St. Paul. Neither has any political
party nor its leaders had the unlim-
tied funds with which to operate,
that the league has had.
These fasts are self evident and
common knowledge and yet many
substantial citizens will be fooled
by the visionary promises of league
candidates and their false accusa-
tions like crowd Of people would
be fooled by a pick-pocket crying
"Stop Thiefw in order to divert at
tention from himself.
