LEADERSHIP.

The Fargo Courier-News thinks
that the North Dakota citizens who
are not enamored with Mr.. Townley's
political machine, or in sympathy with
tho policies which it seeks to pro-
mote are sadly in need of leadership.
Tho Couricr-News points to the. fact
that this element is represented by a
number OF organizations or partly or
ganized bodies, and that each'i is trying
to devise plans of it's W without ref
erence to the plans of the others, and
draws tho conclusion that these So
called old guard politicians are hay
ing a wild, wild time.
The fargo paper is at least partly
right. Groups of people are getting
together all over the state to express
their profound disgust with tho Town
ley style of politics, and their desire
for the placing of the state on a basis
of sound, efficient and economical adj
ministration. These bodies are not
acting in concert. Often they have no
knowledge of each others purpose.
Often they have been ignorant OF each
others existence. For real effective
ness there is needed a getting together
in order that there may be deyeloped
a plan of action which will be gencr-
ally satisfactory. Leadership is need
cd. 1t has usually, happened that
where real leadership was needed,
such leadership was found. It may
be supposed that this will be The case
now.
But the existence of so Many roups.
Ill substantially like-minded, the alb
sence of anything in the nature of a
concerted plan, and the absence of a
unified leadership reduces to absurd
ity the notion that opposition to the
extension of Socialism in North Dako-
ia is the work of ''old guard politi-
clans" Machine politics Is not work
ed in that way. Whatever else may be
said of the old political machine. IL did
not work that way. 1t did not scatter
Its forces and waste its effort. It un-
derstood thoroughly the principle of
the conservation Of energy.
The only political machine hat is
doing business in North Dakota is, the
machine that is bossed by Mr.. Town
ley. And the independent voters have
reason for qualification in the fact
that there are arising spontaneously
SO many Independent organizations
whose purpose is to smash that ma
chine and inaugurate an era of good
government in the state.
