Non-Partisan League
The
Non-Partisan League was a political organization that was founded in
1915 in the
United States by socialist A. C. Townley. It advocated state control of mills, grain elevators, banks and other farm-related industries. It originated in
North Dakota, but eventually spread throughout the American midwest during the progressive era. It also spread northwards into
Canada running in provincial elections and forming some of the basis for the
Progressive Party of Canada. It eventually went into decline, and allied itself with the
Democratic Party of North Dakota in
1956.
