League Foes Circulate Malicious Lies Farmers of Three Counties Misled by Fake Court Orders— Religious Prejudice Is Weapon of I. V. A. 2]OW an eleventh-hour lie circulated by the Inde- pendent Voters’ associa- tion swung three coun- ties from the League to opposing the seven laws referred to the vote of the people was uncovered in North Dakota on the day after election. Terrorism, intimida- tion and religious prejudices were all used as weapons by the anti-League clique. In three counties, where a Russian- German population predominates, the following trick was attempted by the enemies of the farmers. A legal looking document was served on al-’ most -every League farmer and sym- pathizer in the counties. This docu- ment follows: “State of North Dakota, County of McIntosh—ss. “In the District Court, Fourth Ju- dicial District. i “Henry Trowbridge, Plaintiff, vs. Theodore T. Donner, Defendant. “Please take notice that under and by virtue of senate bill 19, laws of North Dakota of 1919, I hereby serve notice of my right to acquire by right of eminent domain for the purpose of acquiring a home the following land, to wit: “The southwest quarter (SW%) of section fifteen (15) in township one hundred thirty-one (131), north of range seventy-one (71) west of the fifth p. m., containing 160 acres, more or less, according to the United States government survey thereof. “Please take notice that you refused to sell or lease the same to me.” HUNDREDS OF “ORDERS” SERVED IN COUNTIES The form was run off on a copying Pat machine with a space left for the in- /B sertion of the names of the parties ‘ and the description of the land, which were often in different colored inks. PR AY'S It is known that hundreds of these ; fake court orders were served on farmers and others. The one reprint- ed here was sent by Theodore Donner to Governor Frazier for investigation. Of course, there is no law on the statute books of North Dakota which would permit such a high-handed pro- | cedure as the I. V. A, trick intimated. ¢ Acquiring of property by eminent do- ol £ main is a function of the state, which : may condemn land for state purposes and acquire it by paying a fair price for it. ; However, the plan used at the last hour convinced a ‘large number of these farmers, many of whom read lit- { tle English, and turned them against T N the League program. i In the same counties the church was used by the opponents of the farmers’ B program, and parishioners told that if A the League bills carried their paro- chial schools would come wunder the control of the state and that religious teaching would be abolished. Even the churches, they said, would become state property and the rituals subject to state control. In Stutsman county the enemies of the League had printed several hun- : ‘dred copies of a so-called “free love” < " bill which was introduced into the leg- -} islature by an anti-League member, e supposedly as a joke. This measure never went to the committee, but was killed by order of the speaker. Nev- ertheless, the lie was spread among e the women and a band of frantic mothers started for Bismarck to learn from Governor Frazier whether there was a law making it compulsory for Lo g any woman to submit to the atten- tions of any returned soldier who ap- 10 DAYS Send No Money \ jii N— .
