generals, Townley being the com
manding general. The soldiers could
change the generals at stated times,
but while the war was on they com
manded and led the army.
The League's success in North Da
kota and the fact that it was able to
come nearer to success in other states
than any other farmer organization
ever had come, was due chiefly to this
form of organization. The-Leaguers
acted as an army. There was unity
and discipline. It was the most effec
tive political organization ever organ
ized in the country. The power was
delegated under a democratic'plan to
generals.' The authority of the gen
erals was recognized and obeyed. Fac
tional fights to disrupt the organiza
tion were impossible. The generals
preserved discipline. Self-seekers in
the organization, and there were
bound to be many such who wanted
political office or high authority in the
League to satisfy their own ambitions,
could organize no factions to support
their plans. Outside interests that
sought to work up internal fights in
the organization to destroy its effi
ciency were easily defeated.
From the outset, however, the oppo
sition charged that the organization
was autocratic, and that Mr. Townley
was a "boss" and a "dictator." The
farmers paid no attention to these
charges for years. They were satis
fied with an efficient machine which
was accomplishing things and getting
them somewhere. They realized that
no matter what the form of organiza
tion the enemy would always find
fault. But a time came when some
members thought that the democrati
cally centralized form of organization
should be changed. There came to be
a cry within the League for "state
autonomy" and more "democracy."
I have never opposed or criticized
this move in the League for "more
democracy," and neither has the
Leader under my editorship. Mr.
Townley did not oppose it. It was in
evitable that the organization should
develop state and local leaders who
would want more power for them
selves and less for the national execu
tive committee. They couldn't get
more power without taking some from
the national executive committee. It
was perfectly natural also that an in
creasing number of farmers should
come to believe that their local and
state leaders should have more au
thority.
Understand, I am not criticizing
those who believed then, or believe
now,"that it was or is wise to decen
tralize the organisation—to make it,,
not a disciplined army under a few
generals, moving as a unit and with
the efficiency which comes with such
centralization, but to make it a co-op
erative federation of local self-gov
erning units. Under such a. plan the
chief authority in any state or county
would be in state or local committees,
the national organization being with
out power, except to advise, or to as
sist in plans or courses which each
separate unit would decide for itself.
However, I will say that there was
always a question in my mind whether
the League was ready yet for this
more democratic, decentralized form
of organisation. Leaguers whose loy
alty and ability I do not question,
thought- it was ready. A Majority
seemed to want it. And so it was
done in several states. Today the na
tional office's advice is not even asked
in several states where there is a
League organization. The national
office, turned over the publication of
the various state papers to the states,
few of which have been regularly is-
