Organization of Progressive
Party" Is Threatened as
Death Blow to League
(By Associated Press)

Valley City, North Dakota. July
2O.--A state convention Of the
National Nonpartisan league tc
organize the league "into more
democratic and more represen-
tative organization" will be held here
sometime in October, under a deci-
sion reached here early today by 1,
conference of league delegates which
was convened yesterday.
The conference, which was called
with the avowed purpose of forcing q
call for . state convention, was at
tended by approximately 200 dele
gates from 81 counties in the state
The agreement for the convention
was reached only after hot debate
during which a resolution was adopt
ed threatening the organization Of
the league in North Dakota into a
progressive party" unless the con-
vention we're called. The date for
the convention will be determined
later by the executive committee OF
the league.

new party "more progressive and dem
ocratic" than the Nonpartisan league.
has left the old organization in such
. precarious condition that its ulti.
mate elimination as party is openly
predicted by members within its
ranks.
The action taken by "insurgents"
yesterday when resolutions were
adopted ito force the executive COM
mittee Of the league to call a state
convention this fall" is taken as an
ultimatum to the league to come to
a show down with the insurgents with
q view of completely eliminating the
league fossism from state politics.
The fact that the conference issued
an invitation to "progressives" of all
parties to come in with them for the
complete reorganization of the old
league or the formation of a "Pro.
gressive" party has led many party
leaders In the state to believe that
the real aim of the insurgents is t.
form a party along the lines of The
Farmer-Labor party in the state.
The faction of Nonpartisans led by
Lynn j. Frazier was not in attend
ance. Since the conference no word
has been forthcoming from the sen
ator as to what action his faction
will take in league affairs. The ge,l-
orally accepted time for calling the
next state convention was next Eel
ruary. It is understood that the i,-
surgents want first Of all ''an ac-
counting" of league affairs at the
fall convention from the old leader,
