"Townley and his tribe opposed ap-
propriations for the war supplies
upon which the very life of the
American Legion boys depended at
that hour. In the early days Of the
war their attitude discouraged vol
untary enlistment and discouraged
the selective service law. Lacking
the courage to go to war for Ger
many. they became, in effect. German
emissaries in the rear.
The former service men are op-.
posing Townleyism with orderly
propaganda and so long as they ex-
press their opposition with the brave
self restraint which they now exhibit
the state will have every reason to be
grateful.

This effort of Townley's comes at
a time when he might expect to gain
some headway in Kansas. There is
discomfort over the unfortunate con-
ditions which have come to the farm
er in the period of reconstruction.
Il am in sympathy with every hon
est effort to aid the farmer. l be-
lieve that the forthcoming legislative
session should give the most con-
structive attention to his problems,
but 1 share with the legion the be
lief that Townleyism means merely the
effort to work upon the prejudices
for the purpose of creating a class
warfare which will benefit no one:.
TT is merely another effort on the
part of those who do not farm to farm
