“BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE TOWNLEY PLANNING RED CONQUEST OF MINNESOTA IN HOPE OF SEIZING , Appeal to Radical Elements Is! Seen’ in Gopher Campaign— Thunder Manufactured By| Frazier Being Used With Telling Effect Paul, Minn, Nov, 24.— The socialists, anarchists, disloyalists and other malcontents of the nation, func- tioning here-abouts under the gen- eral auspices National Nonpartisan league expect to concentrate their political efforts in rds gaining control of the nt of the commonwealth of sota. Men close in the confidence of A. C. Townley, president of the league, frankly admit this to be the case and several of them have openly boasted that arrangements have been, made and plans carefully matured for mak- ing this state the chief battleground of the ultra-radicals in their fight for the ultimate control of the United States and the overthrow of our demo- cratic institutions, Townley, it *is is in constant and close personal con- tact with the chiefs of the so-called “Red” movement, both in this country and in Russia, and has convinced them | that if he can win this state the future of the “revolt” Townley’s Picture. It is indeed a splendid picture which the Nonpartisan leader is said to have painted for the de ation of the po- litival mounteba with whom he is associated, a picture calculated to whet their appetites and excite their cupidity to the utmost.

What may be gained by the political {control of Minnesota been care- |fully analyzed by Townley and his {program for gaining this great prize has been worked out, in detail so that {his co-workers may not lose sight of {the tempting pot of gold at the end of the league rainbow. It is a startling conspiracy and has for its ultimate purpose the conver- sion of the wealth and power of a great state for the beneficial use of [those whd comopse the aristocracy of ‘discontent. The poor stupids who are jexpected to furnish the enthusism and jmotive power for this campaign to wreck their own government and to set up in its place a Socilist oligarchy will, of course, not profit by the pro- posed changes. Demagogues special- ly trained in the Townley school will, it is supposed, guide the innocent pro- letariat. Is a Simpla Plan. The Townley plan is a simple one. He believes that he can easily nomi- inate whoever he selects as the Re- jpub n candidate for governor, and ‘he already is planning to prevent the nomination of a sufficiently strong jman by the Democrats to defeat his G. O. P. choice at the November elec- tion. The man to be picked as the leagues Republican candidate has not been announced, but it is said on good authority that he will probably be a farmer. A. C. Welch of Glencoe, Mc- |Leod county, member of the house of {represen tatives and author of the league’s 10 per cent tonnage tax Dill, Idefeated at the regular session of the jlegislature last spring, is said to be a |xavorite. | The Townley plan, of course, con- jtemplat the election of a majority of | house of the le, ture, but ate cannot be controlled until e old members hold ever ion.

In order to assure success in obtain- ing this preliminary strangle hold on Minnesota, Townley will import a large number of expert demagogues from other sections during the cam- paign and will center their attention on the so-called labor vote and on such rural communities as indicated ,. |during war that they have not yet become thoroughly Americanized. \North Dakota has had many experi- ences with foreign asions of this kind and in edch instance Townley has been successful.

School Funds to Be Attacked. Once he has gained control, Town- ley plans to carry out’ an experiment in socialization and communism which will make his efforts in North Dakota look puny and unimportant in com- parison, The first attack is to be made on the permanent school and university funds of the state now amounting to more than $40,000,090. While this money is now well pro- tected by the Constitution, there is nothing to prevent an amendment to that document which will permit the loaning of these funds for the pur- pose of building and maintaining state-owned elevators, warehouses, packing plants, street railways, light- ing and heating systems and other so-called utilities. It is true that to amend the Minnesota Constitution a |majority of all those voting at a gen- eral election is required. But the North Dakota Constitution has a {similar provision and the supreme court of that state recently held that it should be construed to mean a ma- |jority of all those votin® on the [amend iment instead of at the election. f the Townley plan succeeds the Mi jnesota supreme court manned by his jhenchmen will he just as docile and ‘just as eager to obey the boss as is jthat of North Dakota today, and in this connection it must be remem- bered that it seldom happens that a {proposed constitutional amendment in ithis state does not receive a major- jity of all votes cast on that particular roposition. With the league elector- {ate well in hand it seems very reason- able to believe that Townley could Berve of Marshall county. Berve |thus gain control of the vast Minne- jsota school fund, a tempting morsel ndead. : Plans to Seize Iron Mines. |- But seizing the school fund for the use of his political organization and for the use of Socialists everywhere is really just one of the comparatively minor and incidental aspirations of Townley. His great dream and his great ambition is the seizing, osten- sibly in the name of the state but in reality for and on behalf -of the league, of the great iron mines of Minnesota. This statement may sound like an idle dream, but it is not, That the league boss and his understudies are planning just such a seizure, provided they can gain control of the gover- norship, and possibly the supreme court, is freely admitted by some of those in the inner circle, and it is said that the procedure for carrying this coup d’etat into: effect. already has been outlined in the same manner years before the great war came. The action of Governor Frazier’ of North. Dakota in seizing the. lignite coal mines of that state last: week gives a present day clue to the.future plans of the league in Minnesota. In North Dakota the miners had a con- |tract with the operators which ex- tended until Sept. 1, 1920. It was of such a. binding nature: that whe the +-;coal strike was called in the “East even John T. Lewis, acting president -}of the Federation of Miners, could not find any Noophole sufficient to justify him in calling out the North Dakota workers and they. were ordered to continue. But. Governor Frazier here intervened. Calling the local head of the miner’s union to Bistharck he de- liberately advised a strike ‘for a si |hour day and’ a 60 per cent wage ‘in: jareae: The operators, of course, de- clined-after conferring with Federal officials, and Frazier at once took over the mines in the name of the pete In other words the governor f a state concocted and forced an il- Tegal strike for the purpose-of ac- quiring control of the mines. He now proposes to operate them, paying the what they are entitled to, and. it 1s THE BATTLE WON Confidence in your physician or the tonic that he may prescribe, is half the battle won. .

The wage increase is not to be paid to the miners but is to go into a “benefit fund,” which means that it will be absorbed by the league for propaganda purposes. Would Use Governors Power. This is exactly what the iron mine owners and operators in Northern Minnesota may expect if a Townleyite is elected governor. It would be com- paratively simple for a governor to organize ‘and ‘direct a-strike and also easy for him to take over the mines, He is commander-in-chief of the state militia and a most serious legal ques- tion would be involved if his power to act in this manner should be contest- ed in the Federal courts. i No gover- nor in recent years ever has used the military forces of a state arbitrarily, but Governor Frazier, by declaring martial law in the North Dakota mining district, has established a precedent which might well be fol- Jowed here on a more extensive scale. Of course, a complacent state su- preme court. and a_ well-disciplined attorney genéral, as ‘well as a legisla- ture not too unfriendly, would help considerably in carrying out ‘such an undertaking, but whether ‘any. state court could Successfully interfere with an executive in the carrying out of alleged political. powers ‘or as com- mahder-in-chief of the militia may‘ be open to doubt. .How'.a state court could enforce: its mandate -under such a circumstance ‘is another © question which might well. be considered, .as the militia’ is under the spoatrol: of the governor.

This Is A Public Hearing Citizens Water Consumer Committee JOHN BULL SEEKS TRIBUNAL TO TRY LABOR DISPUTES Same Conditions Which Con- front This Country Exist in England London, Oct. 28—(By The Asso- ciated Press.) Great Britain, like the United States; is having great diffi- culty attempting to establish an arbi- tration tribunal to avert nation-wide strikes. There ‘is yet ‘no adjustment of the dispute arising out of - the govern- ment’s refusal to include certain clas- ses of workers under the provisions of the Hours. of Employment Bill which was introduced just before Par- liament’s recess in‘ August. And ‘on an adjustment of this difficulty, ac- cording’ to labor leaders, depends the success or failure of efforts to estab- lish in Great Britain a National, In- dustrial Council which, it was hop would obviate such troubles as the recent railway strike. The legislation “in: question ‘would grant a forty-cight-hour week to all workers, but the government elected to debar “agricultural “workers-’ and seamen from’ its, application. ‘The trade unionists have steadfastly in- sisted upon.’ the inclusion ‘of the de- barred workers and the employers have intimated their, acquaintance. The ‘trade. unionists have intimated to the government that, in accordance with theresolution passed by ‘the full Industrial Conference en April 4, they were unable to proceed with the for- mation of thé National Industrial Council as long as the government persisted in its refusal to give effect, to some of the important, provisions of the- agreed: report. \The overnubent has reaffirmed its attitude and refused to make any con- cession. The workers’ representatives, therefore, decided to first meet ‘the employers’ delegation and then, if; fo pregress could: be made, to -demand that. the, full Industrial Conference should ‘he ‘recalled in order that they ther mandate.” Neither side shows indications of L willingness to give way.
