Townley ‘The Battle Cry of Idaho Democfaey (Continued from page 4) - this regretable situation and this is the record and attitude of Idaho’s senior senator, William E. Borah. In his great fight against the greed of the profiteers in general and the power trust in particular, Senator Borah has shown that he stands first of all for the people; in his defense of constitutional rights and in his magnificent battle for open diplomacy he has revealed a spirit of unconquer- able Americanism that is worthy of the approbation of all who love the foundations of free government; in his active and fearless championship of every legitimate war measure ad- vised by the president, he has proved his capacity to rise above the narrow bounds of partisanship and make country, justice and liberty the things of most value and most worthy of first consideration. His courage and pa- triotism and splendid ability make Senator Borah by far the most com- manding figure at this time in the senate of the United States and as- sures Idaho the honor and admiration of the nation. For these reasons we tender our unsolicited and frank ex- préssion of appreciation. We urge the immediate enfranchise- ment of the women of America. We hold that to deny the mothers of this nation the right of suffrage is incon- sistent with the professions of equal- ity set forth in our national declara- tions of democratic principles-and that a government in which the question of sex determines the right of participa- tion is not a government in which the fundamentals of human- liberty are dominant. THE DEPRAVITY OF | THE KEPT PRESS We deplore in unmistakable terms the efforts of the subsidized press, of the active and malicious - agents of treasonable and unscrupulous preda- tory aggregations of wealth and which have wormed themselves into the various patriotic organizations, to stir up, behind the folds of the flag, class hatreds and animosities by question- ing the loyalty and sacrificing spirit of the great agrarian bodies of Amer- ican citizens. We hold that those re- sponsible for such agitation are vicious enemies of America, that they. are jeopardizing American lives. on the battlefields of Europe and en- dangering the hope of democracy in the world, that they are actuated by sordid, selfish motives, and that such persons should be treated by the gov- ernment as traitors of the most malig- nant. type. Especially do we regret that within the council ‘of defense of Idaho and in particular in the council of defense of Ada county there are evidences of the activity of these be- trayers of human liberty. We urge that these pernicious- influences be rooted out of all patriotic organiza- tions to the end that. the rights- ‘of all under a ' democracy -~be maintained w1theut the -constant menace of vio- lent, hydrophobic, - irresponsible = and- anarchistic mob interference.: - -« We-urge -loyal “support of all pa- “triotic enterprises and liberal: con- ‘tributions ‘and’ increased support to the various war funds, as well as all ,other enterprises desxgned to support the government and give comfort and aid: to our soldiers who are flghtmg for worlddemocracy s We accept on behalf of the farmers of Idaho responsibility for the greatest productlon of food grains possible;and no effort will be spared to make our service to-the nation as’ valuable as it’ can be- .made LET. THE GOVERNMENT SAVE FOR THE PEOPLE cede to there _grant; We. demand of. ccmg're\asl that {t ac- prices of farm -products and other commodities in which there is exces- sive profit-taking. We respectfully petition the federal government so to shape its plans that it will not relinquish control of the grain markets after the war, but keep- them open and free from the oppres- sive practices of monopoly. We indorse the taking over by the federal government of the railroads and suggest: Government seizure and operatlon of all war supplies factories where excessive profit-taking takes place. Government seizure and operation _of all factories in which industrial dis- putes do not yield to mediation. Government .operation of all mines and all shipyards on government work. Direct contracts-between the govern- ment and all workers on government supplies and work, through theix. or- - ganizations. Short-time loans to the farmers by the government on crop security, whether owned or rented land. Government control of the prices of commodities necessary fox the farm- ers’ use. Imposition of penaltles in the shape ‘of idle acres taxes for the holding of land out of use. - THE INSPIRING EXAMPLE OF NORTH DAKOTA 7 ‘We view with pride and with grati- tude the record of the farmers’ ad- ministration of North Dakota, which has given us clean and honest govern- ment in the interests of all the peo- ple. . Especially' do we praise and con- gratulate Governor Lynn J. Frazier, ~the farmers’ governor, for his manly - independence and fairness to all. ‘We indorse the acts of ‘the farmer members of the legislature and praise them for having stood for the inter- .ests of the people, though opposed by an obstructionary clique of politicians holding the majority in the state senate, who made it impossible to enact the most important measure in ‘a program of progressive Iegxslatlon We congratulate: the farmers in other states of the West who have taken up the battle for more perfect " democracy. We deplore the acts of lawlessness and violence - which have been com- mitted against members and officers of the League in other states and con- .demn all public officials who. have connived at them, encouraged ~and permitted them. At the same time we praise the people of our own state for their law-abldmg and loyal 'atti- tude. We urge all our fellow—citizens to let their voices be heard for true de- . mocracy, for imprbv_ement in our gov- ernment and our economic conditions, for freedom, for tolerance and for co- operation of all American cltxzens for the common good. The workers ‘of Amenca would be false to the heritage ‘bought by the blood of their fathers and recreant to. the trust reposed in them by those - who are fighting for democracy on — he result of ndorsed b NOTICE TO NEBRASKA LEAGUE MEMBERS In a few conntxes of the state League‘members have s -placed county tickets in the field, and in this connection the state office desires to make the followmg statement Zis - It has been the policy of the League from the begmnmg .;to avoid ‘local controversies, and as county politics do not ~ make laws, it has been deemed best to confine our efforts “to state and legislative candidates. ditions warrant, the members of the ‘League are at liberty: to place local and- county candidates in the field,- and they | have our best wishes for success. - But the League as an_ or: || ganization will not be financially or politically. responslble for ’c‘atlnpalgn efixftggy ‘candidate who h: t-b = foreign’ so:l if they did “pot._1 ma.mtain ' : ~their blrthng'ht of democracy at Lome.

"Hear Townley and - Frazier in Montana - Farmers, Barred From Missoula= Grounds, Meet on a Ranch and Also Hear H. F. Sam- uels, Congresswoman Rankin, Doctor Craig- head, R. B. Martin and Bruce Smlth =w| RESIDENT A. C. TOWN- ¢| LEY addressed a crowd of 600 farmers at Mis- soula, July 15. That the Nonpartisan league and its membership supports the government wholeheartedly in the war and that the program of the League is aimed to eliminate indus- trial autocracy marked- the addresses of Governor Frazier of North Dakota and Townley, at the Nonpartisan pie- nic held on the ranch of R. J. Whitaker, two miles south of: Mis- soula. Jeanette Rankin of Missoula, member of congress; Dr. E. B. Craig- head, R. B. Martin, League organizer; H. F. Samuels, an Idaho fariner in- dorsed by the Nonpartisan league for governor of his state, and.Bruce Smith ° of Butte addressed the crowd. The meeting was held out of doors.: That Missoula had denied the farm- ers the right of United States citi- zenship, because meeting places in the city were refused the League, was one of Townley’s criticisms. He declared that while the boys in France are fighting for world de- mocracy those at home should flght for state democracy. “This farmers’ orgamzatlon is back of our government,” he declared. “It . is back of the boys in the war. Doall in your power to protect the interests— of the boys. The Nonpartisan league has done 100 times as much for the soldiers in France and toward uphold- ing the-hand of Wilson than all the war profiteers and all those who' deny the right of free assemblage in the - whole nation.” Governor Frazier pomted to. the war record of North Dakota as: evidence' - of the loyalty of that state. ~Governor Frazier’s address was largely in ex- ey @« b planation of the program of ‘the | . League and in defense ‘of the League S loyalty. “It is mnot by callmg each other \ names and. by preventing an exgres- sion of opinion that we get the best feeling of co-operation in this war,? Congresswoman - Rankin - said.: “The man we can point to as unpatnotlc is /- the “man -who comes out of the war with a bigger bank account than when “he_went* m," she dec]ared : ‘However, if Jocal con-
