Townley and Joseph Gilbert, leader
Of the Nonpartisan league, against

charging them with disloyalty.
For more than four years the no'
chief justice as a professor at tn
Yale Law School, had agitated agains
the league leaders. He had seldol
il ever visited the Northwest and kne'
nothing of farming, but he NATURAL
held the farmer program to be socia
stic and the league as. foe to rea
honary party government. Hence b
crusade against the league. And
