E. ng— ley, was arrested -in Dodge county, Neb., un- der the Nebraska sedi- not being engaged in a useful occu- pation. When his case came up in the county court at Fremont, the fol- lowing statement vmdlcatmg the League was filed with the court by County Attorney J. C. Cook and Quigley was dismissed: In the county court of Dodge county, Neb. State of Nebraska, plaintiff, vs. Walter E. Quigley, defendant To Waldo Winterstee, county judge: I have made an exhaustive inves- tigation in this case, feeling that it vitally interested every loyal Amer- ican citizen in Dodge county and Ne- braska. The reports and rumors that I had read in the daily press for the past year and a half and the state- ments I have heard about the Non- partisan league had -aroused in me an intense antagonism toward the or- ganization. Consequently, when re- ports were brought to me. that or- ganization work had been started in Dodge county I promptly -issued a warrant for defendant’s arrest. At the time of Mr. Quigley’s ar- raignment it was suggested that the League be explained to me, so I had a conference with the defendant, after he had gone to Lincoln to compile his data. In the meanwhile I did con- siderable impartial investigating on my own account. : I particularly went into the matter of the League’s war rec- ord and its attitude toward the government. I examined dozens of copies of the official publication, the Nonpartisan Leader. I find that instead of being a hindrance to the government the League has been ¢f invaluable assistance to the United States in spread-- ing patriotic propaganda. Doz- ens of cartoons appear-in these papers which could not help but instill a spirit of patriotism in the reader. Appeals are set forth in issue after issue urging the reader to back up the United - States government in its war is- sues. The official platforms of the North Dakota, Minnesota, Idaho, South Dakota and Ne- braska conventions, wherein the delegates of the farmers spoke " officially, are filled with patriotic utterances ‘and sound business- like suggestions. 1 find that the federal officials show a friendly spirit toward the League.. The organization™ has' con- sistently supported the administra- tion and many of the high officials seem to be in exact accord with the economic and loyalty programs of the organized farmers. -,cxrculars, song books and:other propa- ganda is loyal without a questlon.

And, while I realize that my pesition is. not popular, especially 'in this com- munity, where the facts are not known, as a public official, charg- ed with the sacred obligation of giving every man or organization a square deal, I am compelled to ask for a dismissal of this case and the discharge of the defends ant.

Here is one, however, for the chump who wrote to C. E. Wheeler of Webster; S. D.: ‘Webster, S. D. Mr. B. A.
