BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE ANTE TOWNLEY -REVOLTS LOOM IN TWO STATES Removal of L. J. Duncan, South Dakota Nonparty Manager, Alleged Disloyalist, Asked MONTANA LEADER DEFIAN Disaffection in the ranks of the Non- partisan league in Montana’ and South Dakota, amounting in Montana to open rebellion against the .autoc- racy of A. C. Townley and in South Dakota to widespread demands by farmer members that Lewis J. Dun- can, Townley state manager, be re- moved, has been added to the revolt of séventeen officials and workers in Minnesota. Severe Blow to “Milking.” Just at the moment when Townley has begun “milking” the farmers for $100 life memberships and was pre- paring to further his political cam- paigns in Minnesota and the other states, as told by Rev. S. R. Maxwell in the series finished last Monday in the Dispatch, tl.e league leader has found his meth ds assailed from the three states—South Dakota, Montana and Minnesota. Dunean Declared Disloyal. In South Dakota farmer members © fthe league are demanding a hear- ing and the removal of State Man- ager Duncan, and a full page adver- tisement in the Argus-Leader, Sioux Falls, S. D., gives the Montana record of Duncan, in which it is shown as socialist mayor of Butte, Mont., he permitted riots and bloodshed and openly declared himself opposed to the United States.in war. It shown that, knowing all of these facts, Townley made Duncan his state manager, although Duncan never lived on a farm and knew noth- ing of farming. Yeagarden Scores Townley, In Montana a movement has been inaugurated by Sam Yeagarden, Non- partisan league candidate for United States senator, to save the league for its members and an open cam- paign of “Patriotism against Town- leyism” has been announced within the league membership ‘itself. , In appeals to farmer members, Yea- garden repudites the president of the league and declares it is time the members had some say in the man- agement of their own organization. Yeagarden asserts his candidacy is based on an American platform, that e with Germany isive victory is won and that he is against Townley because Townley is a stumbling block in. the way of economic reform for the farmers of Montana. ‘ | “Boss” Is Held Menace, “Townlty in politics is a menace to Montana,” says Mr. Yeagarden. “He is a ‘stumbling block in the path of economic reform for the faymers of the state. “It is treason to the American po- litical spirit. It is an unspeakable out- Tage upon the honest, patriotic mem- bers of the Nonpartisan league . “Townleyism will destroy the league in Montana unless the red-blooded, ptriotic and sound citizenship of the state expresses itself promptly in a state convention to take over the or- ganization and to sweep the state clean of political kaiserism and finan- cial_crookedness. “There is but one issue in this whole matter—patriotism against Townley- ism. Under which flag, you farmers of Montana?” Candidate Is For Farmers, Montana newspapers. say Townley already has started a fight against this league candidate, because he proved not to be of the rubber stamp variety. Serious disaffection in the ranks of' the Montana members is declared to have arisen, as Yeagarden is recog- Se Pomeeo wooo enone ---e.

See nized as one of the leaders in advance- ment for the farmers, Other members of the league are seeking to repudiate Sownley, accord- ing to Montana reports, and it is not unlikely that an independent conven- tion of the farmer members will be called. Why Duncan Is Opposed. State Manager Duncan, Townley aid in South Dakota, is the subject of active protest for his known social- ism, his ignorance concerning farming and his opposition to the war and re- ported insults to veterans of the G.

Farmers who have ‘tractors can hit itch the disk behind the binder” When teams are used, follow the binder with the disk.

Manager Duncan is quoted as tell- ing the veterans: “Abraham Lincoln was the dupe of the capitalist class and the men in the blue and the gry faced each other on the battlefields because the capi- talists sent them to war. “The same was true of the Spanish- American war. “All wars are usually ewused by capitalists who find such struggles necessary to maintain their suprem- acy. “Men who wear the uniform of their country believe they are fighting for their flag, when as a matter of fact they are not.” The Sioux Falls Argus Leader de- | clares’ that “hundreds of letters have gone to St. Paul asking Big Boss The types of airplanes most commortly used by | the allied air forces. , per hour; their radius of operations fom 500 to! 1,000 miles and’ their climbing speed 7,000 feet in 30 min- ule; 4-Pattleplane: A, two or three passenger plane driven by one or two engines and equipped with ma- chine guns and sometimes’ cannon.
