assembled, ar appreciatiye Of the
splendid entertainment and good fell
lowship shown us by the citizens,
Commercial club and the press, the
Fairmont band, the hotels and the
management of lnterlaken during our
stay in this beautiful city OF the
lakes. Never before has our associa:.
ton been so cordially received and
treated.
I'VE unqualifiedly condemn the un-
derground sources that are at work
In this land to destroy representative
government, and we denounce In a
most emphatic manner the practice
of teaching seditious doctrines by
unscrupulous and unprincipled radi-
cal agitators-the !. w. WIS. the boil
sheyiks and people Of their like.
This association goes on record
here and now in favor of the enact
ment of a law that will prohibit the
printing of legal notices in foreign
language newspapers, and, we call
upon the next session Of the legisla-
ture to enact such a law, believing
that such a law will be one more
step in the Americanization of Amer
lea.
I'VE reaffirm and reiterate our faith
in the principle of one language,
one flag and one country, and to this
end we demand the enactment OF
strict immigration laws that will
forever bar from our land the allen
hordes that desire to enter our gates,
but who have no intention or desire
to become permeated with American
ideals, or to adopt the customs OF
this country.
1--WE are unalterably opposed to
the repeal of the zone law, relative
to the postage on newspapers, and
we would ask the representatives in
both houses of congress to vote and
use their influence against such q re-
peal.
Whereas, one A. c. Townley
president of the Nonpartisan League
was convicted in Jackson county
Minnesota, in the year 1919, by a
jury of twelve staunch, loyal farmers
upon a charge Of conspiracy TO OBJ
struct the draft, and
Whereas, said A. G.. Townley has
not as yet served his sentence of 80
days in jail, imposed by the court.
Therefore Be It Resolved, that the
second district editors call upon the
supreme court of the state Of Mime
sofa to stop its quibbling and force
the said A. c. Townley to serve the
sentence imposed upon him by Judge
E. C. Dean of Fairmont.
