Title: A. C. Townley addressing Nonpartisan League meeting at Glencoe (Minn.)
Date: 1916
Creator: Unknown
Summary: A.C. Townley addresses a Nonpartisan League meeting crowd from a raised position, likely in Glencoe, Minn. An American flag hangs from the back of the building behind him, and cars and other buildings are visible beyond the crowd. A.C. Townley was the founder of the Non-partisan League in 1914. This party was socialistically minded, and focused on the needs of small farmers. The party was successful in producing a governor, Lynn Frazier, in 1916. Frazier was recalled, and the party dwindled throughout the 1920s. __Original photograph in Minnesota Historical Society Photograph Collection. Used by Larry Remele on cover of "The Lost Years of A. C. Townley (After the Nonpartisan League) North Dakota Humanities Council Occasional Paper #1. February 1988.
