BUSINESS GROUPS
And NONP ARTISAN
LEAGUE IN UNITY
VIII Divide Jobs at
Farmers Expense
By ALFNED KNUTSON.
(SpeciGl to The Daily Yorker

tcperfNt 70 me DdlU w OTfeT.
BISMARCK, N. D., April. 2O.-Th,
Nonpartisan Leaguers have opened
campaign headquarters here on ono
OF the principal streets. In 1916 OF
1918 they would not have been per
n1itted to do this by the business ele-
ment, which was then hostile to the
league.
In the windows are found placarded
the names of the congressional and
state candidates, headed respectively
by Lynn j. Frazier for United States
senator and T. II. Thoreson for gov
ernor. In one place is found the fol-
lowing Illuminating appeal to the
voters for support:
Prosperous farmers mean success
for business and labor. Why not vote
for better marketing facilities?"
Plays Into Business Interests Hands.
A Coolidge or a Lowden might have
written this. It is exactly the kind of
propaganda that the business inter
ests need and want to bolster their
position and this is the kind of dope
the league uses in North Dakota to
ret the support Of the bankrupt farm
ers. The farmers and workers of the
state are asked to assist in holding
together the capitalist system that is
robbing them Of the fruits of their
toll, the system that shows increasing
signs Of falling to pieces.
There is now no hostility between
the League faction in North Dakota
and their erstwhile Independent Vot-
ers Association enemies. A large
number Of business men are support
ing the league candidates. 1t is
limited in political circles that the two
groups have made a political deal
whereby the leaguers will get the
United States senatorship and the I.
V. A the principal state offices, the
offices which have control over the
state mill and the elevator and the
Bank Of North Dakota.
Pooling the Farmers.
The business interests of North Da-
kota have nothing to lose but every
thing to gain by supporting the
league candidates because this fac
tion is closer to the farmers and is
thus in better position to hoodwink
and fool them. The exploiter has dis
covered that the league is safe.
The United Farmer and the United
Farmers Educational League will
wage relentless campaign against
the League "progressives" and all
ether "progressives" masquerading as
Afriends" of the farmer.

EVOLUTIONARY PLAYS
IN MOSCOW THEATRES

ETHE Moscow theatrical season, to
very large extent, has beer
transformed into a supplementary
celebration of the tenth anniversary
Of the Revolution. At last TWEEN y
plays were produced in honor of the
celebrations, and several of then,
rank among the most interesting pro
auctions of the season.
The plays may be roughly divided
into two categories: those which EN-
phasize the mass aspects of the greet
social upheaval. and those which
focus attention on the feelings and
experiences and reactions of ind
viduals to the stirring times through
which they are living.
The most brilliant achievement in
the former category was unquastion-
ably the Art Theatres production of
"Armored Train No. 1869" written
by Vscvolod Ivanov, an author who
is known for his realistic stories of
the warfare waged by the Siberian
peasants against the "White" regime
of Admiral Kolchak. The play has
its full share of the grim aspects of
civil war; it is difficult to forget the
intensely powerful scenes where the
peasants, lying in ambush, try to find
in their number volunteer who will
to stop the armored train
Unnamed by the Whites), by throw
ing himself under its wheels, or where
the officer in command of the
armored train goes mad for lack of
food and water and through exhaus-
ton after sustaining a long siege by
the embattled peasants.

Brilliant Mass Scenes

the embattled peasants.
Brilliant Mass Scenes
There are elements of personal
drama ard tragedy in the work; the
reaceful old peasant, transformed in
to a resolute leader of the revolu-
tionists when the Whites burn his
home and kill his children; the Kol-
chalk officer. with little faith in his
cause. stoically going forth to die in
command of his armored train; the
Communist underground" worker,
shot down on the very eve of the
successful uprising which he has or
ganized. But these are isolated
episodes, not linked together in a
single dramatic framework; and, al
though ore Of Russia's greatest ac-
tors. VASTLY Katchalov, plays the role
Of the cid peasant, he seems a little
nniscast. little unsuited for the in
depreciation of such simple and
elemental character.
"Armored Train No. 1859" re-
mains in the memory for its mass
scenes, which are staged with extra
ordinary brilliance; the tumultuous
meetings of the partisans, signalling
to each other from the church stee-
pies of neighboring villages; the
amusing episode when crowd of the
peasants. with their typical straw
colored boards, tries to "propa-
gandize" an American soldier who
has accidently fallen into their hands;
the genuinely stirring climax, when
the armored train, manned by the
victorious workers, steams into tie
city to turn the tide Of battle il the
struggle between the workers and
the Kolchak authorities. ~
In the past the Art Thuatre has
often been attacked by Communist
critics for its alleged unresponsive-
ness to the social and cultural
changes which have taken place in
Russia since the Revolution. How
ever, it is generally agreed that
"Armored Train No. 1859" is a
worthy wreath on the shrine of the
Revolution.
A Drama of the Fleet
Different in treatment, but equally
interesting is "Bazlom," or 1.-THE
Break" a play of the Russian Fleet
in the period between the March and
November Revolutions. Here the
interest is concentrated on a small
group of individuals and their reac.
tons to the swiftly changing events.
The principal characters are the
commander of the cruiser Aurora:
his daughter, who catches The conta-
gion of revolutionary enthusiasm; the
young Bolshevik sailor who is presi-
dent of the ship committee, and an
other naval officer who is bitterly
hostile to the revolution and every
thing it has brought.
The crisis of the play is reached
when this latter officer works out a
conspiracy to blow up the cruiser, a
plot which is accidently discovered
and thwarted by the commanders
daughter. Then her father, who has
always worked in close touch with
the ship committee, agrees to stay
at his post and continue to command
the ship, even after the Bolsheviki
have taken power.
