Arthur c. Townley, national presi-
dent of the nonpartisan league, enter
ed the county Jail at Jackson, MINI.
Wednesday night to serve sentence
of 80 days for making reasonable ut
terances during the war. For three
years Townley employed every bit of
power at his command to keep from
going to Jail, his case being reviewed
by the highest courts of the land. FL
nally the United States Supreme
court refused to review the case fur
ther and there was nothing left to do
but to go to Jail.
Townley spent several days this
week at Fargo, winding up his busi-
ness affairs. He left Fargo at 4
o'clock Tuesday afternoon with a
friend in big touring car, from
Lisbon, N. D. They remained at AL
exandria, MINI. Tuesday night and
left for Jackson at 10 o'clock Wednes-
day morning.
Hundreds of farmers gathered at
Jackson Wednesday to witness the in
carcaration of Mr.. Townley.
Before leaving Fargo, Townley re-
marked that he had not taken an ac-
tive part in the recent election, doing
no campaigning, but he said the re-
suits proved to his mind that there
were as many nonpartisans in the
state as ever. He explained that e.
nough of them failed to vote to win
the election.
"Overconfidence on the part of the
farmers and their consequent failure
to vote was responsible for the de-
feat of the Nonpartisan league in
Fridays recall election" he said.
1t is reported in Fargo that Town
ley is paving the way to take control
of league affairs in this state upon his
release. He will undoubtedly do con-
siderable writing while in the coun.
ty Jail at Jackson and he will spend
much of his time working out plan.
He is not satisfied with the manner in
which the affairs of the league have
been conducted during the past year
in North Dakota. He holds VIM.
Lemke, attorney general, and Senat-
or A. A. Liederbach, chairman Of the
state committee, responsible for the
defeat of Friday. Liederbach owns
a fine home in California and it is re-
ported that he may go there to live.
There is dissention between the
league group at Fargo and at Bis
marck. The Courier-News is cen.
sured for coming out Saturday and
