The struggle between the Nonpar-
Il sans and the conservatives for tn.
corsxat of North Dakota has gone on
withcrt inter1nission since the Leagues
wca its Ia t political victory in 1916.
AT the la election the power of tho
farmers organization was shaken.
since their opponents secured s. small
majority in the lower house Of the Leg
islature. This has created somethins
of q deadlock in the state administra-
ton, rs the Ncnpartisans still control
the Governor and the upper house. An
acrimonious controversy has ragged
about the marketing OF an issue of
state bonds The conservatives refused
to cooperate in this undertaking un-
less some OF the more radical policies
of the league we're abandoned. and the
LARGO Chicago and New York financial
houses declined to accept the bonds for

Naturally, in the course Of . long.

of grievances against the other. P,r.
lessor Bruce draws up a formidable
indictment against the league. He &C.
cuses it of legislative terrorism, Of

elements. He IS inclined to stress the

for destroying. in spirit at least the

He also denounces the tendency ea

MILAN Company. 81
," HE Nonpartisan League has
81 been painted in very different
= colors by its friends AID by
its enemies. The advocates of
TIE organization contend that it repre-
sents a perfectly natural and demo-
cratic effort on the part Of the badly
exploited farmers of the Northwest TO
improve their economic condition, to
end the domination Of politics by
powerful commercial and financial in
forests and to safeguard farmer and
consumer alike against the exactiens
OF the middleman.
The opponents Of the league, on the
ether hand, depict it as dangerously
radical body which seeks TO gain and
hold power by mixture of demagogy
and autocracy and which has driven
the state Of North Dakota into very
difficult financial straits by imprudent
experiments in collective ownership
Charges OF pro- Germanism and dis
loyalty were also freely made against
some Of the league leaders during the
war.
Professor Bruce, former Chief Jus
tice Of the Supreme Court Of North
Dakota, is uncompromisingl opposed
to the league and all its works. He
feels that the organization is funda-
mentally un-American in many of its
actions and policies Admitting the
abuses which existed IN the state govern
ment of North Dakota in pre-league
days, he contends that the new despo-
tism of the league is worse than the
cid despotism Of the party bosses.
The author, who was defeated for re
election as chief justice because of the
leagues policy of Furnishing its judi
cal enemies and rewarding its friends,
is especially bitter in his criticism of
the Nonpartisans for openly bringing
the judiciary into politics. He sees in
the open efforts Of the league to elect
some Judges and defeat others a per
nic4cus tendency to destroy the dignity
and impartiality of the courts. He feels
th&t the judges in R state controlled
by the Nonpsrtisans are in danger Of
becoming prejudced makers rather
than dispassionate interpreters of the
law.
Professor Bruce is severe in his
structures against the league leaders.
He represents them as, for the most
part, disappointed and smbittered men
who are seeking consolation for bust
ness failures in the exercise Of ar
b;trary political power. He speaks re-
pcatedly of the league leadership as
"a socialist hierarchy" And he writes
There can be no doubt that, though
the large majority Of the members of

economically sound and are certainly
MOI ally pure and are certainly patri-
oti. they have allowed their organiza-
ton to become the tool of q handful
