NEMESIS STILL PURSUES NON
' PARTISAN LEADER
When a house of cards tumbles, its
fall is complete. So it was with the
house of the Nonpartisan league in
North Dakota. A warrant has been
served on A C. Townly. founder and
former head of the league, charging
him with embezzling $72,903 in DUS
for the Consumers’ United Stores Co.
the complainant being a lormer pii\
ate secretary of Townley and lot
years his confidential advisor, 'town
iev also was in serious trouble lor
his alleged anti-war activities and
found himself facing defeat and hu
miliation by the downfall of his pro
jects in North Dakota, which kept the
state in political and economic tui
moil for years and which attracted
hard-earned dollars from thousands
of farmers in the agricultural states
of the West, including \\ ashmgton
He was one of the meteors.w io a.
across the national sky in time oi
stress by advocacy of some seeming
ly novel and appealing theory which
lias been tried out and rejected at a
period remote enough to cause men
to forget. That he and men like him
lack those qualities which make toi
success and usually either are whol
ly insincere or victims of their own
fantastic ideas is not surprising.
Most of them are fundamental
crooked. Those of the first kind tre
quently cannot stand prospeiitv am
those of the second consider prospe
rity something for their exclusive en
joyment.

river trail between Nenana and Fair

divided his time between trapping
and farming. His potatoes are am
ong the best raised in that section of
