THIS NEWSPAPER? :
SOCIALISTS ARE
BACK OF LEAGUE
MOVEMENT IS NOT DEMOCRATIC,
SAYS MAN WHO WRITES
ITS ARTICLES.
The following letter was recently re
ceived by a Wyoming paper from one
of its readers:
"I am one of those who have been
urged to Join the Nonpartleen I-eugue
and give up my 318. I nm told by the
organizers tills Is a movement directed
by farmers ami wholly In the Intercut
of farmers ; by others I am told quite
the opposite. I would like correct in
formation as to just who controls the
league, who formed It. who Is now run
ning It, aud whether or not It has
saved the farmers of North Dakota
the money the organlxera claim.”
One ran not, in limited space, answer
these questions fully, giving complete
data, hut here are a few well-known
facts:
The Nonpartisan League was formed
In North Dakota by a lot of Socialists,
among them being A. C. Townley. Ar
thur LeSueur (also attorney for the I.
W. W.), D. C. Dorman, Leon Deutcher,
anti a number of others then all prom
inently connected with the "Organiza
tions Department, Socialist Party of
North Dakota.” The reason for chang
ing the unme from Socialist to Non
partisan I-eagtie Is Iteat expressed by
"The Appeal to Reason," a Socialist
paper, which says It was “to bring So
cialism to the farmers and the farm
ers to SoclallKai."
Perpetual Executive Committee.
The articles of association of the Na
tional Nonpartisan league—and all
activities and In all states la under the
direction of this national body—were
written by Walter Thomas Mills, So
cialist lecturer and writer and for some
time a,i editorial writer on the “The
Appeal to Reason." Section « of these
articles names three men on the na
tional executive committee, and the
same section provides their successors
are not nominated by members but by
this committee, so that as long as the
three stick together all the members
in the United States who have paid In
their 318 could not make a change.
The three men named In the original
articles, and still members of the com
mittee. are A. C. Townley, now In jail
at Jackson, Minn.; Wllllntn Lemke, re
cently recalled as attorney general of
North Dakota, and F. B. Wood, now In
the limelight through matters being
brought to light In connection with
the failure of the Scandinavian Amer
ican Bank, Fars?., North Dakota, a
Nonpartisan League Institution.
Not Democratic Organization.
The articles of association do not
pretend the organization is a demo
cratic one—that Is. one In which the
members have any expression of opin
ion. Walter Thomas Milla, the
of these articles of Incorporation, in a
booklet defending the league, usks this
question :
“Is the Nonpartisan League now a
democratic organization In the sens**
that the selection of Its officers, in
the writing of its program, and iii the
carrying on of its work, it is now gov
erned hy its membership?”
Then Mr. Mills proceeds to answer
his own question In this language:
”The answer is that It Is not. . . .
The battle can be fought only with
some man In command. Townley Is in
command.”
Under the articles of association,
Townley can not be removed. Mills,
the Socialist, wanted It certain that the
farmers could not get In command.
The organization was to “bring So
cialism to the farmers and tlie farmers
to Socialism,” and so great a Social
ist leader as Mills was clever enough
in drawing the articles to prevent the
organization ever passing Into the
hands of Its members.
And Townley, the leader—iu com
mand—ls at present doing his com
manding from jail.
Opposes Property Rights.
That the information sought by the
writer of the letter above may be suf
ficient for him to draw his own con
clusions. it should be stated that Mills
was one of the guiding stars In North
Dakota In the heyday of Nonpartisan
League control. In view of this fact a
little Information as to Mills might be
interesting. He Is now conducting a
“correspondence school for Socialism”
at Berkeley, Calif., and recently an
nounced he had perfected plans to or
ganize tbp Nonpartisan League In that
state. Mills Is the author of a book
called (he “Struggle for Existence.” In
this book he clearly sets forth his view
opposed to Individual property rights.
He says:
“The earth belongs to all men. . . .
Those who created the private titles
to the earth created those titles and
the owners continue to hold them sole
ly by force. But as force is the sole
foundation”—the writer calls consti
tutional provisions and laws, force—
“no such title can be valid in the face
a a strong force.” From this book and
other writing of Mills it is clear his
purpose Is to deprive owners of their
property through physical force, as
was done in Russia.
As to what Nonpartisan League con
trol in North Dakota did for rhe farm
era will be shown In this column each
week. It has placed a burden of debt
on the people of that state from which
they can not dear themselves in a
quarter of a century. The so-calle<
program for the farmers proved merely
Socialism in disguise.

COMMANDER WELL KNOWN
C. D. Cunningham of Centralia, Waah.,
Wax Prosecutor of I. W. W. As
sailants of Legion Men.
One of the best-known men In the
country In I. W. W. and other radical
circles Is the new
commander of the
American Legion
of Washington. He
is C. D. Cunning
ham, Centralia.
The nation was
shocked on the
first anniversary
of Armistice day
by the wanton
killing by radicals
in Centralia of
four American Lfr
gion men who
were participating in the parade. Fir
ing from vantage points on the young
veteran marchers, the I. W. W.
slaughtered four outright, wounded
others and took to flight. Cunningham
was one of the leaders of the chase
which captured Wesley Everesey, ring
leader of the radicals. The state
turned to Cunningham as special pros
ecuting attorney in the ensuing trials
of the murderers.
In the court proceedings, which held
the attention of America for eight
weeks, Cunningham was pitted against
the best legal talent that the national
organization of the I. W. W. could mus
ter. Cunningham was victor, howev
er. The radicals were convicted and
a year later Cunningham won again,
when the Supreme court upheld the
verdicts.
During tlie war Cunningham served
as an infantry private at Camp Pike,
Ark.
HOW THE SERVICE MEN STAMD
Checking Up at Washington by Legion
Reveals That Many Members
Are In Limelight.
When President Harding replied to
Representative Lamar Jeffers. Ala
bama, and the legislative committee of
the American Legion that there were
no ex-service men of outstanding
qualifications to be members of the
American commission to the interna
tional disarmament conference, there
was a checking up in Washington to
determine how service men stand in
the eyes of the American electorate.
A statement later Issued by the Le
gion showed that the President ap
pointed an ex-service man as secretary
of (fie navy and another assistant sec
retary. His alien property custodian
was In service during the war. The
assistant postmaster general is an ex
service man. An A. E. F. veteran is
head of the national budget. The
President confided the task of organ
izing the new veterans’ bureau to a
former soldier.
The public has elected 26 men who
served either in the army or the navy
to the house of representatives and
two to the senate. In nearly a dozen
states service men are the governors.
Eight members of Secretary Hoover’s
national committee on unemployment
were ex-service men.
HELPS TO FIND EMPLOYMENT
Arthur Woods, Head of Hoover Spe
cial Committee, Proves Aid to
Ex-Service Men.
Ex-service men throughout the coun
try have benefited largely from the
Mjl
l . V
operations of Sec
retary Hoover’s
committee on un
employment. The
former soldiers
and sailors have
had i special
friend at court in
Arthur Woods,
New York, head
ot tlie Hoover
special committee
which has co-ordi
nated the nation
wide effort to pro-
vide jobs for the jobless.
As n special assistant secretary of
war In 1019, Mr. Woods rendered dis
tinguished service In organizing and
directing a national bureau for tlie es
tablishment in civil life of service men.
In that work he built up an organiza
tion whose activities encompassed the
nation and proved his ability to get
on with and understand men. Mr.
Woods formerly was police commis
sioner of New York, and was the first
chairman of the American Legion’s na
tional Americanism commission.
The Modern Fourth.
Here is a page from the diary of a

“Today is the Fourth of July, once
a glorious patriotic holiday. In the
morning I took a bath and after din
ner pa told me stories about Abra
ham Lincoln. After supper 1 had to
stay in while ma read lessons from
tlie Bible and then we all rose and
sang ‘The Star-Spangled Banner.’
Then I went to bed.” —American Le
