D. Swen- gel, former rcsidant of Nona Dakota, but now a citizen of Sa lem. He spoke yesterday to mem bers of the Rotary club telling of his intimate knowledge of what the Non-Partisan league did to North Dakota. Townley. the organizer, was or iginally a farmer in the western part of the state. Having gone broke and taken advantage- of the bankruptcy law, according to Swengel, he proceeded to organ ize a few farmers, and soon dis covered that there was so much complaint against the elevator grain system of the state, that it was easy money to organize farm ers at $6 eacb. Later when the cost of living went up, the farm ers paid $18 each for membership. Townley and his friends were all Socialists and registered as such, Mr. Swengel said. Later they registered as Republicans and stole that party. This was in 1916 before the Non-Partisan league announced its program. At the second election, in 191 H the Non-Partisan league carried the entire state, excepting the state superintendent of schools, ho said. This happened to be a woman and as she would not stand for radical legislation and have the Non-Partisan doctrine taugh in schools, the legislature took away most of her authority. If a teacher wanted a certificate, it was issued by the automobile department of the state. One of the laws the league passed was the home builders law in an endeavor to bold labor un ions in line with the farmer. It man wanted a certain piece ot land, under the law he could ac quire title by right of eminent do main. Another experiment of the league was to run a flour mill with state money, Mr. Swengel said. It bought the mill for $25,- 000 and in a year's time lost $30,. 000. Appointments Of the league were by favor. One example, he cited, was that of the appoint ment of a man in charge of a liv ery stable as bank examiner. Many small newspapers were put out of business, as a law was passed that one newspaper in each community should have all the state and county advertising, and this paper was always owned by some one friendly Co the league. Then stores were organized, 102 in all. each store being fi nanced by farmers friendly to the league. Not a single one of the stores is now doing business. In his palmy days, said the speaker, Townlay would neven de liver an address to a mixed aud ience. He always spoke to small sympathetic crowds. When farm ers were elected to the legislature and Townley found they were not good talkers in defense of the Non-Partisan measures, he said openly that the only way to make a farmer feel at homj in the leg islature and make him talk was to spread manure on the tloor. Money was distributed among banks that were friendly to tbe league, Mr. Swengel said. This worked later as a hardship, as when the league was in urgent need for money through Its Bank of North Dakota, It was obliged to call on the small banks for state funds and as a result. 37 out of 40 banks suspended within a few months when hard times struck the state. i oay ana ouj i - MIS ilffvSff i no! .; SULPHUR IT IS The First Application Makes Skin ' Cool and Comfortable !
