Biographical History
The Farmers' Nonpartisan Political League was organized in North Dakota in 1915 by Arthur C. Townley and other North Dakota Socialist Party members. Members sought to bring about reforms in farming-related business and governmental practices through non-partisan political activity. In 1917 the organizaation's name was changed to the National Nonpartisan Political League, and by 1921 branches were established in an additional fifteen midwestern and northwestern states. While the League was most successful in North Dakota, the organization helped to elect a number of candidates in other states to state and national office. Despite it success, a well-financed and powerful opposition, agricultural depression, and internal dissension brought about the decline of the League, and by 1924 it ceased to exist as a national organization.
