D. hamper the government in the prosecu- tion of the war, So far as the prese- cuting attorney is concerned there is only one issue inyolyed—disloyalty.” WOULD WRECK LEAGUE, Attorney Lemke issued this state- ment: “Our defense will be that a. conspir- acy exists over three states, Nebraska, ota and Minnesota, and 1s for the Jackson trial. This was entered into to disrupt. criminal prosecution, Jacksone county was selected as the county where the stage could be set most favorably for the prosecution. ‘The atmosphere of Jackson county was well exemplified by one of the jurors who said that it would take a long time to get a jury, | because if jurors were asked if they vere hostile to th onpartisan Icague they would a ‘yes,”” It is unne ary to say that this juror was excused, TO CALL MANY WITNESSES. “prominent men from various parts of the country will be brought to Trek- gon to substantiate our ¢laim, that it wags not Mr. Townley who had conspir- ed, but men higher up for. political and and we financial reasons, who conspired to wreck the Nonpartisan league at any cost “The attorneys for the defense will hold a conference Mendy, when the pelicy of the defense wil be Jecided in detail. “We are planning on summoning about a hundred witnesses, inelnding ten prominent through the northwest and-in the nation, We wil offer'a great mass of testimony to demonstrate, not, only the loyalty but the active patriot- ism of the Nonpartisan league as an organization, and the loyalty and active patriotism of the members as individ- uals.” Court was adjourned at 11 o'clock Saturday morning until 2 o’clock Mon- day afternoon, Townley left late Sat- urday afternoon to make a league speech that night in a rural district in Martin, which adjoins Jackson county, Townley and Gilbert are to take the stand to testify regarding speeches Which have been read into the record by court reporters and other persons who reported these addresses at vari- ous Nonpartisan league meetings. The defense will contend that both Town- ley and Gilbert were within their rights in discussing economic issues and, the attorneys said, the defense will offer transcripts of various addresses which they assert are somewhat different than the state transcripts and which they say. will show, differences in the wording of declarations which the state claims are disloyal. The attorneys glso intimated that they had in their possession letters and other correspondence between officials in certain Minnesota counties whicli, the attorneys said, “indicated a con- certed action” to oppose Nonpartisan league gatherings. Court opened at 8 a. m. Saturday morning, with adjournment decided up- on at 11 a. m. until 2'‘p. m Monday. The first witness called by the state Saturday morning was O, D. Starr of Cambridge, Minn., who testified re- garding two speeches which Townley made in that town. Starr testified that he had been in | Smith testified that he took exception good house- the navy prior to Townley’s address at Cambridge, Minn., on February 18, 1918, and that later he enlisted in the army and served in France. He testifi- ed that he considered some of Townley’s remarks unpatriotic, The witness, on. cross-examination, admitted that the sons of some of the men who attended the Townley meeting also served in France, George C. Smith, former county aud- itor at Cambridge, corroborated Starr’s testimony regarding Townleys speech. to Townleys declaration that this “is a rich mans war,” and that Townley dwelt upon the horrors of modern war- fare, Smith was beaten for re-election in 1918 by a Nonpartisan league condi- date, and at present he is serving as a deputy of that successful. candidate. The trial of A. C. Townley, president of the National Nonpartisan — league, | and Joseph Gilbert, organizer, was re- sumed late this afternoon, with Sheriff O. C; Lee of Jackson county on the wit- ness stand, The case was to be resumed at 2 p. m.,- but was delayed an hour because of the lateness of a train’ on which some of the jurors were returning from their homes after the Sunday recess. ; : . |. .

LEAGUE MERELY MAINTAINS LEAD ON PRINT BILL More Complete Returns Show No Gains for Townley on Brinton Act ‘More complete returns received up to noon today, representing all but about fifty precincts in the} state and including Slope county, from which’ no, report was available last week, show no further gains for the league, which is merely holding its own, with @ margin of about 6;500 votes. On the prnting bill the totali press time were: Yes No 4 Majority”. BW esiesa te Margins Smatter. The league showed less strength than was expected {n Slope, and its majority was about 100 less than orig- dually estimated in Oliver, from which nothing better than a guess was ob- tainable up to today, when the audit- gr’s ‘official report was received. The majority against the league in. Rich- land cqunty was increased by several hundred in the final returns, and as a result the league. ledd today is about a hundred less than it was Saturday. There is a possibility that fimal re- turns from Williams and Mountrail, strong league territory in which sev- eral precincts are yet missing, may increase the majority on the print- ing bill to 7,000, which would mean probably not more than 10,000 for the more popular league program bills. This would’ indicate a very decided slump in league sentiment.
