PAGE TWO THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE ~ SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1922 CHURCH WANTS TOHEAR ABOUT TOWNLEY PLAN He Approves i: Pa in Part and Dis-; approves He Says in’ Let- ter on Subject i FOR NON-POLITICAL BOARD; Would Remove Industry Central} From Politics, Senator Asserts Senator W. J. Church, of York, one of the influential members of the Nonpartisan league, has taken the at- titude of approving in part and in dls- approving in part the “balance of power” of A. C. Townley. i Writing in the Courier-News, pro- testing against some actions taken by that newspaper, Mr, Church gives a new view in the campaign: now rag- ing between the so-called Liederbach faction and ‘Mr. Townley and his ad- herents in the league on the question of the “balance of power.” In this connection Mr, Church’s views are in- terésting to politicians of all pdliti- cal faiths in the state. Waits To See Mr. Church, in his letter, says in part: ‘views of the plan after having gone over it with Mr. Townley, thoroughly, and the members can take them for what they are worth and as coming from one at least who has always op- posed every move (when apparent) of any one or body of five men to domin- ate the league. I can safely say that J have been at all times squarely be- hind the pyogrami and what I say I say from the standpoint of one who puts the program. first and personalities secondary. I am willing to say I agree with Mr. Townley’s plan par- tially but differ with him as to in- dorsing men who are backed by other parties. He believes we should in- dorse men who run. for offices (that we have no candidate up for) who come out and commit themselves as favorable to our program or carrying out the same, for he believes it would mot help us any but be a detriment to our chances of winning, to nominate candidates for all offices. He would leave ,two positions at least on the Industrial Commission and all federal positions alone as fan as nominating candidates, for by doing that wo would remove the cause for much of the bitterness that prevails in a fight that is distinctly I. V. A. and N. P. L. I am of the personal opinion that we cannot long exist in two bitter camps, one,,building np—the other tedring ‘down what the other con- structs, and if it continues the people will have their confidence shaken, which is something to be guarded against, Both sides have/got to real- ize that the people as a whole will have to be considered and not (one faction only, which has been the at- titude of both sides more or less in the last two or three years. I’ for one am) willing to go part way and fay by my action.that mistakes, have been made (and God deliver us fnom, men who never made them) on both sides and if they think they can fill the major positions on the Industrial Commission better than we, why we are willing to let them try it if they will carry out the will of the people and put into effect the laws, that are in force on our statute books. We could nominate our members on the Commission leaving others open to anyone. We could then as a league nominate men for the other state of- fices and apply ourselves to the con- test for members of the houso and senate, and if we can elect a majority in those positions we can protect our Program \and make that our object and we dould be responsible for any amendments that would be needed. By doing this we could talk about good legislation that has been put in- to effect and not put our time in de- fending ourselves from and contra- dicting statements made by the oppo- sition in a bitter alignment, Wants Non-Political Board “I fully believe that no matter which side is victor in this election that laws should be passed taking the industries out of the hands of the In- dustrial Commission and putting into the hands of an appointed committee covering a term of years. It would then not be a football at every -elec- tion to the detriment of the institu- tions. Thus far I can sanction A. C. Townley’s stand, but I know that no man is big enough and no set of men are big enough to swing the:N. P.-L. members anyway they may wish, and he knows that also, “They have only one thing in view and that is a com- pletion of this program) and a thor- ough trying out of those industries. So I would leave the obtaining~ of nominations for the Federal offices and two positions on the Industrial Commission or even three, entirely to the people of the whole state to choose, of which the N. P. L, farmers and friends are the largest integral part, without any hint or action of in- dorsement on the part of the organ- ization. Trading is abhorrent to the minds of the progressive men and ‘women of the state and the least re-| &emblance to it should be avoided | for we will not stand for it if we know of it being done and it can bo avoided in this case. I am not sure -but that the antagonism that would be raised if we would nominate men to those positions would not be worth the risk we would run of losing all we have gained in the past six years. It is for the rank and file of the members to study this carefully and then decide at the Fargo conven- tion what we should do, and no mat- ter which way the decision goes, make | up our minds that there is a principle | and a program at stake and that our/ first duty is to protect and stand by | that principle and program, and we | must not let ur forces become divid- ed over this man’s opinion or that.
