ORKGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington, Slay 31. Congress Is
getting ready to pull up stakes Fri
day or Saturday and leave for home
or for the two national conventions.
All of the senators and members of
the house from Idaho, Oregon ano
Washington are planning to depart
for the west soon after adjournment,
except possibly Representative Sin
nott of Oregon, who may remain here
for a few weeks.
All of the house members from the
three states will be candidates for re
election, although only the three Ore
gon members have been renominated.
As there is so little pre-convention'
opposition, however. It is calculatea
that most of the present membership
from Idaho and Washington have
good prospects of being on the ballot

Plumb l'lnn League Factor.
1 Of the six senators from the three
I states Nugent, depnocrat, of Idaho;
Chamberlain, democrat, of Oregon,
, and Jones of Washington come up
for re-election. All of the house mem-
' ber3 from the three states have been
served with notice in the last few
days through the newspapers that the
Plumb Plan league proposes to oppose
i their re-election. Of the three sen
ators coming up, only Nugent of Idaho
is free of the Plumb Plan league op
position. He voted against the Esch
Cummlngs railroad bill, his colleague,
Senator Borah, casting the only other
vote from the northwest states
against the measure so much dis
approved by the Plumb, planners.
' Borah docs not come up this year.

' !est attacks will be directed against
' Reprewentativcs McArthur of Oregon
and Webster of Washington.

" The soldiers bonus. bill passed by
the house Saturday appears to have
been laid to rest today in the archives
1 of the senate. Senate leaders would
'. not discuss the legislation, but It as
apparent that there is no intention of
considering it before the adjourn
ment or recess, whichever it is. that
is expected to come Friday or Satur
day. 7 Democrats who are opposed to the
bill asserted that In the event the
measure were to be passed by the sen
ate President Wilson would veto it on
. the recommendation of ' Secretary
Houston of the treasury department,
-, who has revealed that he is willing to
go any length to prevent either any
new taxes being levied or the Issu
' c anue of any new varieties of bonds.
y Wilson Relapse Rumored.
- ' Washington has a well-defined ru
mor today that President Wilson had
. suffered a severe recurrence of his
previous physical troubles, but this
rumor, even if true, will be due in the
regular course to be denied for sev-
, eral weeks before being finally con-
firmed. The rumor, however, carried
with it so much detail as to cause
' genuine alarm, and If true is likely
. to prove difficult of concealment.
t In a political way the liveliest of
discussion bears on reports of the
. very earnest intention of Senator
Borah of Idaho to have a political
party that he can call his own. The
Idaho senator, according to the most
''authentic reports, has been brooding
much of late over the political situa-
tion and has been telling some of his
; friends that he sees the need of an-
2 other party, declaring that its forma
. ,tion is inevitable just as soon as the
, ,two major parties get through with
j their conventions at Chicago and Sun
' i'rancisco, respectively.

' Senator Borah's attitude is taken
,. - ..-' mean that ho has abandoned the
; Ine of seeing Hiram Johnson nom
, ' ted or of stepping into, the nom
- ' "tion himself as a dark horse. The
. V is that Senator Borah will take

And, as an orator, the Idaho een-
f ator can do wonders. Mr. Borah has
' ' been keenly disappointed in the out
"come of the senate investigation of
' presidential campaign expenditures.
' In the first place, it has not borne
out the reports he had made as to the
,ourco of contributions In the Leonard
Wood campaign, and in the second
place he never dreamed that $200,000
or more had been expended in the
, interest of his candidate, Hiram John

: RESISTANCE TO DISEASE
' i Debility is a loss of vitality, not
affecting any one part of the body
particularly but the system gener

When debility follows acute dis
eases, convalescence is slow and the

An attack of the grip often results
debility that persists for months.
' Everybody recognizes that jthe rem

"In almost every case the election
of these extra delegates in the var

IMOrJ-PARTISAN BASE
PROVED SOCIALISTIC
Records Show One-Man Rule
of North Dakota.
STATE CONTROL ABSOLUTE
Independent Voters Hope for De
feat of "Townleyism" on Basis
of History and Taxation.
BY JAT THOMAS.
FARGO. N. D., May 31. (Special.)
The history of the organization and
operation of the Non-Partisan league
from .its very inception up to the
present time proves conclusively that
the league is founded upon the prin
ciples of state socialism and that the
state government of North Dakota
is today under a one-man socialistic
rule.
The inner circle of the Non-Partisan
league, from A. C. Townley down
to Walter Thomas Mills, are all men
who have had past public connections
with the socialist party.
Townley gained control of the
state government of North Dakota
through the organization of farmers
to engage in co-operative buying and
co-operative distribution of grain and
financed his operations entirely from
funds collected from the farmers.
Executive Cowirol Obtained.
The first step in politics was to
obtain control of the chief executive
of the state, which was accomplished
by the election of Lynn J. Frazier
four years ago. Frazier was nomi
nated and elected on the republican
ticket, but there were enough hold
over state senators at that time to
prevent the Non-Partisan league from
gaining complete control of the state
legislature. This, however, was final
ly accomplished in the next election,
when Frazier was re-elected and the
Non-Partisan league took over all
branches of state government exec
utive, legislative and judicial.
The constitution of the state of
North Dakota was amended, chang
ing the form o state government to
conform to the declaration of the
socialist national party, and today
North Dakota has an industrial com
mission, financed with $36,000,000 .of
public funds, which Is authorized to
establish and operate for the state
any and every class of business and
industry. There is no limitation on
the power of this' commission. By
legislative enactment . the state al
ready has established the bank of
North Dakota at B'smarck and honds
to the extent of 817,000,000 have been
authorized for projects of state own
ership. Bank IVot Under Check.
Under the act creating the Bank
of North Dakota it Is provided that
all state, county, municipal, school
district and township funds must be
deposited with this institution, and
the aggregate of these deposit at the
present time is approximately $36,
000,060. Operating under the mill and ele
vator act, the state industrial com
mission of North Dakota purchased
an idle flour mill located in the town
of Drake, for which the state paid
the sum of $20,000. A blanket mort
gage was then placed on this mill
for $5,000,000 in order that the in
dustrial commission might be able
to draw on the Bank of North Da
kota for additional funds to carry
out other flour mill and elevator proj
ects. The state bank is not required to
make reports to any department of
state government, is not subject to
the check of any state officer and
there is no sestriction upon the offi
cers of the bank In the method or
loaning state funds.
When Attorney-Goneral Langer and
the state bank examiner stepped in
and took charge of the Scandinavian
American bank at Fargo they found
that loans had been made to the Non
partisan league and somo of its sub
sidiaries to the extent of about half
a million dollars. The attorney-general
at once Instructed the state au
ditor to make an investigation of the
financial condition of the Bank of
North Dakota to ascertain if any state
funds had been loaned to the Town
ley organization.
In ventilation Is Quashed.
The state auditor visited the bank
in the late afternoon and arranged
to place checkers at work on the
books of the institution the next day,
but when the accountants attempted
to start work the following morning
they were greeted with an Injunc
tion from the supreme court of the
state putting a stop to the investiga
tion, and from that day to this no
report has been Issued showing any
of the operations of the North Da
kota state bank. . The effect of this
supremo court injunction was to
deny to the people of North Dakota
the right to receive any information
regarding the methods employed in
handling public money.
' Following this action the. supreme
court issued an order instructing the
bank examiner and the attorney-general
to return to the officers of the
Scandinavian bank all books, letters
and documents belonging to the bank.
DELEGATES TO THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTION'
STATE AT LARGE."
which were being held as evidence.
Photographic copies were taken of
certain letters relating to alleged il
legal transactions on the part of of
ficers of the bank and the originals
were returned ir compliance with the
orders of the court. The president
of the Scandinavian-American bank
was tried and convicted on the charge
of issuing false statements, but the
verdict of the Jury was recently aet
aside by one of the district judges
appointed by Governor Frazier on the
grounds that the letters Introduced
In evidence were obtained by the
prosecutor by illegal methods.
In order to give a proper under
standing of the organization and op
eration on the Non-Partisan league
in isorin uaicota. it is necessary to
refer back a number of years in the
political history of the state.
In 1912 the socialist party in North
Dakota cast approximately 6000 votes
and the national organization under
took a propaganda campaign among
the North Dakota farmers. Thou
sands of copies of the socialist na
tional organ. The Appeal to Reason,
published at Girard, Kan., were cir
culated throughout the farming dis
tricts of the state. The farmers were
engaged in a controversy with the
levator and mill people over the
grading of grain. The socialists took
up this question and were able to
widen the breach between the farm
era and the mill operators.
Townley Registered Socialist.
It was about this time that A. C.
Townley was engaged in his' flax
venture near Beach, N. D. This proj
ect is best summed up briefly in the
vublic records of judgments against
Townley and his brother, aggregat
ing a grand total of $406,093.54. Fol
lowing his flax failure Townley en
tered actively into politics. His mem
bership registration blank in the so
cialist party was issued at Beach,
N. D., April 11, 1916, on which date
he made affidavit under oath that
he was then 33 years of age and a
socialist. And it was this same year
that he started the Non-Partisan
league with the membership of the
socialist party in North Dakota as
its nucleus.
The bait offered to the farmer to
secure his membership in the league
was the pledge to establish a state
owned terminal elevator. All of the
other socialist projects were held in
abeyance until after the Non-Partisan
league had secured complete control
of the state government.
Townley and his organizers talked
and preached state-owned grain ele
vators and flour mills until they had
the farmers of North Dakota think
ing only in terms of state ownership
of those utilities.
Candidates Give Pledges.
Every candidate for the legislature
who received the Non-Partisan league
indorsement was first required to
give a written pledge agreeing to
support the legislative programme of
the Non-Partisan league "committee.".
This pledge was required and given
without any knowledge on the part
of the person signing It as to the
nature of the measures ho would be
required to vote for when the legis
lature convened.
The Non-Partisan league "commit
tee," composed of A. C. Townley, Wal
ter Thomas Mills, a socialist speaker
and former associate editor of the
Appeal to Reason, and William
Leinpke, an attorney of Fargo, ap
peared at Bismarck with a number
of bills and called the Non-Partisan
league members of the legislature
into secret caucus. At this caucus
it developed that the Townley pro
gramme consisted of single tax, the
state bank act, the elevator and flour
mill act, the state home owners' and
builders' bill, the absent voters' law.
the state investigating committee act,
the state sheriff act and a number of
other socialistic measures, a great
many of which had never been heard
of before by the members of the
caucus. The majority of the bills
were presented by Mills, who, by the
way, is the same Walter Thomas Mills

league la the state of Washington.
"Committee" Bills Approved.
As an illustration of the Townlev

th legislature.

the farmers of that state and has

A further idea of the socialist ten
dencies of the Non-Partisan .league
may be gained by examining the
source from which the league organ
izers are obtained. In the Appeal to
Reason of May 3. 1919, the very time
when the Non-Partisan league was
preparing to invade the state of
Washington, there appeared the fol
lowing advertisement.
"Wanted Reliable men who under
stand economics to do organization
work among farmers. Address Non
partisan League Employment Bureau,
St. Paul, Minn."
St. Paul is the national headquar
ters of the league.
It is on the basis of this record,
combined with the tremendous tax
increase, that the independent voters
of North Dakota expect to defeat

PERIL IN
NEAR EAST
Union of Bolshevism and Pan
Islamism Feared.
MENACE TO EUROPE SEEN
Late Developments Held to Indi
cate Struggle "With Forces of
Western Civilization.
BT LINCOLN EYRE.
PARIS, May 31. (Special Cable.)
The leaders of French opinion are
alarmed at developments In the mid
dle and near east, where the forces
of Pan-Islamism and pan-bolshevlsm
appear to be joining hands for a
struggle against western civilization.
A promise that the red troops will
soon evacuate Enzeli. the Persian
town on the Caspian sea, is contained
in a wireless message of Chicherin to
the Persian foreign minister which
was intercepted here. Despite the
promise, officials of the French for
eign office regard the bolshevik land
ing on the Persian coast as marking
a further step in the realization of
the pan-bolshevlk design to establish
supremacy in Moslem countries and
thereby strike a blow at western pow
ers that have Interests there.
Bolshevism la Feared.
Pertinax, m the Echo do Paris,
voices the general uneasiness felt in
France. He writes:
"What we see now is nothing but
the continuation of a series of events
in central Asia, which appear dis
tined to give the Moscow rulers a
really powerful means of attacking
our British friends who are estab
lished in India and elsewhere. This
landing on the Persian coast follows
on the heels of the establishment of
soviet rule in Trans-Caucasia and
more recently in the Aserbaijan re
public" The Echo de Paris sees the real
stimulus to the bolshevik advance on
the Persian coast in the widespread
discontent engendered among Per
sians by the recent agreement be
twecn the Persian ministers and the
British government for the execution
of the protectorate treaty of last sum
mer. British Policy Blamed.
"The cabinet ministers in London
can today measure the mistake they
committed when they left Russia to
her own fate and let her slide back
to the Asiatic stage of her history and
of her mentality, "says Pertinax. "They
washed their hands of the problem at
what they believed was a small cost.
They bought peace by their attitude
of weakness. They forced the Russian
border states into the arms of Mos
cow. They built up in the Causasus
a fragile barrier of chaotic republics.
Let us hope the error of the Turkish
peace treaty will not once more lend
an impetus to this offensive against
Europe."
Reports indicate the Persian capital
Is in a panic. All the banks have been
closed. The Persian cabinet ministers,
it is said., are holding themselves
ready to move to the south at the
first sign that the British troops
cannot stop the red advance,
i Evacuation In Contingent.
Chlcherin's note to the Teheran gov
ernment is regarded in French for
eign office circles as an attempt to
appease, for the time being, the popu
lar hostility which the reds' landing
may have occasioned. Almost in the
same breath with his assurance of the
early evacuation of Enzeli, Chicherin
yaguely suggests that the evacuation
is dependent upon the attitude of the
Persian people toward soviet Russia.
He suggests that if the Persian people
wish to enter into friendly relations
with soviet Russia the Moscow gov
ernment Is ready to dispatch diplo
matic and consular agents to Te
heran. SYRIAN ,T0WN CAPTURED
12 00 Turks Killed and Many Pris
oners Taken by French.
PARIS, May 31. A French column
has occupied the town of Aintab,
Svria, it was announced in a Havas
dispatch from Beirut dated Friday.
The French took many prisoners,
the message said. It is reported 1200
Turks were killed.
Soviet Industries' Deficit Huge.
LONDON, May 81. The official or
tran of the Russian bolshevik govern
ment reports an estimated deficit for
1920 on the operations of nationalized
industries of 23,756,700,000 rubles, ac
cording to a Berlin dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph company.

Germans to Release Russians.
GENEVA, May 31. Repatriation of
Russian prisoners of war in Germany
has been arranged by the Moscow
and Berlin governments, says a dis
