Nonpartisan League

Nonpartisan League
(inglés: "liga independiente).

Alianza estadounidense de agricultores cuyo objeto era obtener protección contra los monopolios de trigo. Fue fundada por Arthur Townley en 1915, en Dakota del Norte y exigía que los molinos, los elevadores de granos, los bancos y las empresas de seguros contra las granizadas pasaran a manos del estado. En 1916 su candidato, Lynn Frazier, fue elegido gobernador de Dakota del Norte y en 1919 la legislatura del estado promulgó su programa. La liga perdió fuerza después de la década de 1920 y se afilió a los demócratas en 1956.
