t "A so-called corn belt committee has recently met in
Dos Moines and delivered the ultimatum, assuming to
, speak for mid-western stales, and advertising them
selves as special guardians of the Republican party's
agricultural trusteeship. The chaimran of this com
!clt committee is William Hirth of Columbia, Missouri,
well known as a life-long Democrat of the radical type.
"Associated with his are A. W. Kicker, formerly
with Pearson's magazine when it was a radical publica
tion. Townley induced him to leave New York and go
to North Dakota to help organize the Non-Partisan
league. Kicker will be remembered to Kansas as a for
mer editor of "Appeal to Reason."
"Upon this committee are six other men associated
in the past or at this moment with the Non-Partisan
league activities. A majority of the other members arc
radical Democrats. Out of 22 members only six have .
ever voted the Republican ticket and two of these work
ed and voted for lt Kollette in 192 L These men now ,
have the effrontery to tell us what mid-west Repub-
licanism must do." '
