Mills the Socialist in Kan Sa s Lectures for Nonpartisan League
Walter Thomas Mills once ostracized by North Dakota farmers for socialist views tours Kansas lecturing for the Nonpartisan League. Observers cite his retention by Townley supporters as evidence of radical aims within the league. Mills, an organizer in North Dakota, promotes socialism via his book The Struggle for Existence and his International School of Social Economy. He argues farmers risk losing land to state tenure, echoing feudal fears of lords owning the land and tenants serving the state.
