ATTACK WOMEN
WORKERS IN A
SONG OF HATE
Bismarck Women Who Are
Against Townleyism Are
Assailed by Circular
SAME THROUGH STATE
While Stirring Class Hatred on
One Hand Effort is Made
to Deceive Women
SAME THROUGH STATE

women OF bismarck are Cne
latest victims of the desperate
effort of organizers of the Non-
partisan league to fan the flames
Of class hatred to fever heat
just before election.
Never before has the league
become so vicious in it's efforts.
Anonymous circulars are being
resorted to in many places in the
state, circulars so vicious that
even the league refuses to open
ly sign them.
The democracy on which the
west has prided itself since
pioneer days is thrown to the
winds by the league organizers.
Their effort is one to degrade
people to work for their living.
It is an attack on the pride and
the individuality of Americans
who know no class and particu-
larly upon the western ideal of
equality.
Ban Flames OF Hate
The circular distributed in Bis
marck from an automobile is signed
by" Committee Of Ladies with Brains
Organized to educate ignorant voI-
ing women"
1t follows in line with the boycott
threats of Townley, which are daily
becoming more vicious; with the cir
cular distributed in Fargo attacking
the morals of man high in the Nor
wegian Lutheran church who is ac-
tive against Townleyism.
Circulars have been sent all over
the state by the league in it's last
week drive, printed in flaming black
and white, which are printed in the
manner in which the Socialist Cir
culars have been printed for years,
and containing attacks as bitter as the

It follows the expression Of numer
Gus rabid Socialists in the league Or
ganization who are going beyond the
preachings of the Socialist party and
advocating "direct action" which is
another name used by Bill Haywood
and other |. w. WIS for revolution.
BIZ Salaried Leaguers
1t does not follow the organization
of the Nonpartisan league for women
in Burleigh county, however, which
includes in it's leaders the wife Of Il
man, imported from another state at
a $4,000 year from the state or
others whose husbands are drawing
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year salary
from the state.
1t is not believed these women are
the authors of the anonymous cir
cular which is declared an insult to
every woman in Bismarck. Here is
a passage from the song Of class
hatred"::
Drawing Class Lines
1--WE, ladies of Society HILL advise
you to keep away from thefpolls cleo
ton day and if possible keep your men
away too.
eve belong to the BETTER class.
We are strong in the head and weak
in the arms. YOU are weak i'll the
head and strong in the arms.
"What do you want to bother with
the vote for? Let us better class
ladies of Society Hill and Silk Stock
ing Row do the voting. You do the
work.
"Stay at home election day and
rest and we'll do the voting.
1--WE have the brains. You have
the Drawn"
Attack on Civic Pride
This is sample of the vein in
which the circular is written. 1t is
declared the worst attack on civic
pride and community interest that
has ever been made in Bismarck. The
people who have been working to
create in Bismarck the best and most
democratic city in the western coun-
try, to develop it and cause it to
grow.
"We are all against these Social
istic laws. Down with Socialism.
1--WE are the wise Ladies and al
though we know these laws are good
for you Working Women. they hit US
in a tender spot--our pocketbook.

is buttered on.

from the polls. Don't bother about

ing for Women.
keep your men away, too.
Stay at home and raise the babes.
and when they grow up we Will tell
them how to vote
A Contrast in Method
The spirit of this also is quite III
contrast with the methods adopted Dv
the league organizers to keep women
