TRY TO DISRUPT LEAGUE ©The, program that you adopted has been enacted into law. A majority voted’ to amend the constitution so that. the laws would stand. Much of this program is now in effective opera- tion, but the most important part of the program—the most important laws enacted—have yet to be put into effer- tive operation. Your enemy, failing to defeat your candidates, failing to keep you from amending the constitution, falling to disrupt and disorganize your elected Jaw-makers. failing in their vicious, lying, frantic, heavily financed battle to blind yon and keen you from approving those laws at the referen- .dum—jyour, enemy now hopes, as a last resort. to discourage and to tire you out and thus to make you quit before the final victory. They now delay the sale ef bonds.in the courts.

They charged that the League would seize the school funds while the records show that the only man that ever stole any of the school funds was one of their gang kicked out of office by:the League and agai:t whose burglarly they never raised their voice, They charged that the League would confiscate your land, while the law worked to saey, the famn- ers four million dollarg the first year on Hall insurance alone, These and a thousand other falsehoods. “It is not impossible with all the time and money spent. that they should not make some: progress.
