STRONGLY SCORED
Presbyterian Minister Pre
dicts That League Will not
Last More Than 5 Years.
In the second series of practical
sermons. Rev. Halsey Ambrose, pastor
of the Presbyterian church of this
city, last evening spoke on the evils
of the Nonpartisan league as a legis
lative organization and detailed- the
obvious results that must accrue from
such a system of state control.
Rev. Ambrose used as his text:
"Whatsoever shall ye sow that shall
ye also reap," and proceeded to out
line the policies of the league and its
leaders. Mr. Ambrose stated his ap
proval of organized labor, in so far
»s the laboring element of the popu
lation unites for the betterment of
-themselves /and humnaity. He said
that in the same measure did he ap
prove and heartily endorse the move
ment for the organization of farmers
in the state of North Dakota, and
gave various instances of where the
plan, when properly conducted, gave
excellent results in o.ther' states. He
said that in other states he had seen
the plan work .it with the result that
better rural schools existed that
public libraries were established in
rural communities, and rural indus
tries were established, such as cream
eries and cheese factories.
Leadership of "Moses" Townley.
All of these projects, Mr. Ambrose
said he heartily endorsed and up
held, but their ways separated, he de
clared, just the moment the farmer
aimed to eliminate the middleman
and usurp his place and his profit,
without any benefit whatever to the
masses of the people, the consum
ers.
He went on to give some of his
personal observances since he had
come to North Dakota: how he had
come here to find the Nonpartisan
league led by "Moses" Townley. who
according to the best information
|hat he- could obtain, is not a resident
-.. "pf the state of North Dakota, and
that according to the records of the
bankruptcy courts, the private man
agement of his personal affairs shows
& deficit of something like $100,000.

tuilded it high, for the middleman,

come when Mr. Townley hlnuwlf.
would be hanging from that same |tl
lows.
Beotkn br Ooonaiil
Under the. direction of such a lead
er, Mr. Ambrose pointed out, the
governor of this great state, and a
majority of the legislature of both
houses have, been elected. By means
of his secret caucus. It Is hta. plan
to blindly lead these legislators to
prepare bim, designate those who
shall Introduce them, and those who
shall second them and those who
shall vote for them. And It matters
not, he continued, whether a legisla
tor can explain the purpose of the
bill or not. It is sufficient if it were
given him by the caucus to Intro
duce. The machine must be run ac
cording to the will of the leader.
Mr. Ambrose compared the reign of
Townley \tith that of Lenine In Rus
sia, and pointed out that Lenine, the
man who was instrumental in the
overthrow of the czar of Russia was,
according to the latest reports, wear
ing the uniform, riding in the czar's
coach, and demanding the crown from
the people. Townley's ambition to
rid the people of the middleman au
tocracy, Mr. Ambrose Said, appeared
to be just as sincere as that of the
Russian traitor.
Class Legislation Denounced.
In speaking of the present legisla
tive .measures which are being enact
ed at Bismarck. Mr. Ambrose said
that it was his belief that legislation
that was favorable only to the farmer
was wrong, and unfair to the general
citizenship of the state. He warned
the bankers and the merchants and
voiced the opinion that the latter had
better prepare to move out, as they
could not hope to compete with the
"scissors, sawbuck," and the "mon
key-ward" corporations which pay no
taxes in the state and are therefore
in no position to do harm to the
consumer.
Capital, labor and producer, the
speaker said, cannot exist one without
the otler, and legislation aimed to
injure one, injures both of the other
members. He said that the solution
lay, not in attempting to cripple one
of the members, but in co-operating
for the upbuilding of the great state
of North Dakota.
In his closing remarks. Mr. Am
brose scored the Nonpartisan league
heavily for its selfishness, and de
clared that built as it was upon the
sand of unsound principle, it would
prove a failure and would be snuffed
out of existence within five years.
ONE HUNDRED
CONVERTS NOW
Salvation Army Will Have
aNew Home in Near
Future.
The Salvation Army ended their
revival campaign which has been go
ing on for about three weeks last
night, when Major Wm. Kittle of
Minneapolis addressed about three
hundred people, in fact the taber1
nacle was packed and about one hun
dred people were turned away for
lack of standing room. Major Kittle
left here last night well pleased with
the work done during the campaign.
Saturday evening Major Kittle,
Colonel Stephen Marshall and the
blind evangelist,' Envoy W. Jeffery
made their appearance to a well-filled
tabernacle, six converts were taken
in, and Sunday thirteen more were
converted which brings the total
number of converts taken in during
the revival meetings up to one hun
dred.
Sunday morning the three noted
Salvation Army workers spoke to a
congregation of about Ave hundred
-people at the First Presbyterian
church and Major Kittle sang several
of his Indian lyrics which were thor
oughly enjoyed the blind evangelist
sanp one or two songs, and Col. Mar
shall spoke on the work of the Salva
tion Army.
A special service was held at the
tabernacle for the young people of.
Grand Forks Sunday afternoon.
It is the, plan of the Salvation I
Army of this city to build a home for!
the Army and when Major Kittle
spoke of this fact he wgis loudly ap
plauded. The present quarters of the
Army are inadequate for the growing
congregation and as soon as every
thing is settled a new building will be
under construction.
