Because of the fact that our state

home lovers lot the state, we urge
thatssthe work,%of organizing the IN
dependent Voters association be
pushed vigorously. over the entire
state until v considerable number OF
voters in each precinct in every
county become 50 conscious of the
dangers that confront us that they
will be willing to work as hard and
spend as much money to get the
menace of Townleyism removed
from u backs as was done to get
it on us. ut is estimated that D
proximately 49, 900 voters spent
from SIG, TO. 800 each in two ucces-
sive campaigns to get Townley.
ism saddled onto North Dakota: 40
900 members at only SIG each Great
ed q campaign fund of $4,000 for
one election campaign alone.) We
submit that IL $4,000 voters can be
so aroused before June l next, that
they will work like beavers and raise
half as much money for political eff
fort to stop the ravages Of Townley-
ism as was done when Townleyism
was strapped to our backs, then that
menace will either be operating in
other states or it viii be out OF the
United States in 1920. Z.
AS a means Of developing our or
g%anization to this degree in as uni
form a manner rs possible. we urge
that the following plan of action be
adhered as far as practical in ev-
cry county
Catalogue Voters.
Catalogue. the voters by precincts
on red white and blue basis either
red, white and blue cards or in red
and blue checkmarks on voters lists.
Use the red to Indicate the red radi-
those who are positive in their OPP
position to Townleyism and that
cannot be swayed with either intrigue
or blun and the white to Indicate
those who are not radical Socialists
and will not support the radical laws
and state government which we now
nave when they learn that the lead
ers Of b Nonparttsan league are
only using the so-called farmer pro-
gram as 9 cloak for promoting prac-
ticalty the same theories Of govern
ment az are now known to the world
as Bolshevism9 in Russia.
AS a. means OF cataloEuing the .vot-
ers, they should be asked to sign a
pledge that they will support anti
Townley state, county and Legislative
tickets: that they will support the
!. v. A. program of Initiating. refer
ending and sopposing Legislative and
constitutional amendments; help to
keep our elections free frbm frauds
and contribute financially in the form

help defray the cost OF the work in
their respective precincts and coun.
ties as we'll as to, help pay the cost
Of missionary work IN counties and
precincts In which most OF the yot-
ers are still politically blind and
asleep. Those who are willing to line
up In a fight against Townleyism On
q pledge of this sort are to be listed

desire to hear speakers and read lit-
