DescriptionThe Non-Partisan League (NPL) was a political organization founded in 1915 in
the United States by former Socialist party organizer A. C. Townley.

The Non-Partisan League advocated state control of mills, grain elevators, banks
and other farm-related industries in order to reduce the power of corporate political
interests from Minneapolis, Minnesota. It originated in North Dakota, but eventually
spread throughout the American Midwest and the Pacific Northwest during the
Progressive Era and was briefly organized as a national party. It also spread
northward into Canada, running in provincial elections and providing some of the
basis for the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation in Saskatchewan and the
Progressive Party of Canada. The NPL goat served as the League's mascot. It
was known as "The Goat that Can't be Got."

The NPL achieved its greatest success in North Dakota.
