Abstract

The Non-Partisan League in Politics
Moorhead, Frank G. | October 5, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

At the primary election on September 3, 1918, the Non-Partisan League nominated all of its candidates for State office on the Democratic ticket in Idaho and captured a majority of the legislative and county nominations. Its candidate for Governor polled practically as many votes as both his opponents. Successful again at the primary election in North Dakota, the League went down in temporary defeat at the primaries in Minnesota. It called upon the courts of Nebraska to grant it the right to operate, and it was a force at work under the surface in the old-line party politics of Kansas. The League had a more or less appreciable influence in the affairs of a half-dozen other States in the U.S.
