The first was nine to three for convic tion : the second was unanimous. After hearing the verdict, Townley rr.adc this statement: "Judges and lawyers may quibble, but in the court of public opinion the common sense of the people will necr approve a ruling that bays a man ninv merely deny he is dislojal and is forbid den to prove bv constiuctivc testimony thft he is loyal." During the three weeks of the trlnl the defense made repeated clmrges that the case was an outgrowth of efforts to Injure the Nonpartisan I.enguc Testimony along this line nnd also bv Congressman James Jf.

South Dakota nnd to n lesser degree Minne sota nnd other patts of the West nnd Northwest felt the influence of the Townley propaganda. This had as its mowed objects gov ernment ownership of interstate utili ties; stnte ownership of public utilities; state owned and opcrnted banks, insur ance companies, grain stoinge plants, etc.; nbsolute control of legislntie, cxecutne and judicial machincrj of the state; class taxation; and conscription of wealth for financing the war and liquidating the nntionnl dellt. Charges of DlsIoalty Activities of the league grew with the extension of its membeiship, which in 3910 was estimated nt seeral hundred thousands, and when the United States. inoed by the continued aggressions of the German government, hhowed signs of entering, the war, Townley nnd ln fellow-lcigucrs posed as the protago nists of peace nnd became conspicuous iu their opposition to military prepara tions. Charges of dKloyalty were openly made against the Nonpartisan League shortly after America's entrance into the war, and Townley hastened to 'Wash ington in Muj of last year to rcph to them. He declnied the league and its members were lojnlly supportiug the President, and, had contributed more than its nverage in the purchase of Liberty bonds lie refused, however, to diverge from the position he took a year previous, that capitalists weie reaping a harvest out of the conflict. March 13 of the present year Town ley and Joseph Gilbert, manager, were indicted by a Minnesotu grand jury on a charge of publishing and cii dilating seditious literature tending to discourage enlistments 'in the militnrj and naval forces of the United States. Two indictments were returned, each naming both men. One was based on a pamphlet containing the league's war policies, and the other on a resolution passed nt the Nonpartisan League con ference in St. Paul, nt which Senator La Follettc delicreuan address. The Offending Resolution The resolution on which one of the indictments was based follows: "The principal cause of this world war was and is political autocracy used to perpetuate and extend individual au tocracy. It is the struggle of the po litical overlords to extend and perpetu nte their power to rob and exploit their fellow men. "Autocratic rulers who have robbed and exploited the fathers and mothers now slaughter the children for the sin gle purpose of further entrenching themselves in their position of tecur Ing and legalizing their possesion of the fruits of others nnd thrusting the world under the oke of politioal au tocracy which is ever the shield and the mask of industrial autocracy." Speeches made bj Townley and Gil bert in the spring of last year weie used by the prosecution as evidence to 4 prove the disloyal spirit of the de fendants and the mischievous character of their public utteinnces,. Council for the accused vigorously denied the charge that the speeches were disloyal, holding that their clients exercised "'simply the right of just criticism. It is expected that an appeal will be made to the higher courts. NEW NOTES FOR GERMANY .French Asked to Name Commission on Sera Exploitation Vtwattlrt, Jaly 14. (By A. P.)
