D., Jan: “5:—In last weeks’ issue of the Switf County (Minn.) Monitor appears the follow- ing contribution of one of Logan coun- ty's best citizens, J. L. Laughlin, who is a farmer residing six milea south of Napoleon. The Homestead believes it would be a good thing—yet, a duty —for all honest North Dakota farmers —to write either their farmer friends or publishers of newspapers in other states from whence they came the truth about the Townley league. Of course their friends in other states will have to first give the Townleyites a “trial” before they will he able to fully appreciate them, unless they are willing to accept the truth and warn- ing’ {rom mén who nieasure up as a neighcor and citizen as does Mr. Baughiin after his several years res- idence here, The Homestead quotes Monitor as follows: “In the year 1918 my taxes. were $93,97. This year, 1919, my taxes are $209.41. My stete tax is 357 per cent higher than befcre the league got in force,” is the statement made by J. L. Laughlin, of-Napoeon; N. D., former Swift County resideat in.a letter writ- ten to the! Monitor this week. Mr. Laughlin adviser the people of « this- county to investigate the condi- tiong in that state before linking up with the same men in this state. His letter follows:’ “Editor Swift County.

When we had those meetings in North Dakota three or four years ago he ‘would have an audience of 1,000. or more, but remember, my friends in Swift county, the farmers of ‘North Dakota got their eyes open- ed. “Mr, Townley used io talk w us just as he talks to you people now. He would tell us what +c would give us until he got us in his clutches. Now gentlemen, Swift county and the state of Minnesota have too many nice homes to be loaded down with heavy taxes like the farmers in North Da- kota have to bear. The year 1918 my taxes were $93.97. This year, 1919, my taxes are $209.41. -My state tax is 357 per cent higher than before the league got in force. “I think it’s a) fine thing. for the farmers to, organize.

Have your bankers invéstigate for-you. Don’t be in any hurry. Wait until after our next election and you will see how the farmers of North Dakota will turn down the leaders of-the league. “Mr. Townley claimed in. his ad- dress to you the cement.trust was ad- vécating the building of hard surfaced roads, After you have them built you can travel on them and it won’t cost you $11.35 auto, Hcense for one year as it did me to travel on prairie roads. This is hitting the miHlonaire pretty hard. During the last. snecial session of our legislature they tried to redeem themselves by reducing the state tax to 25 per cent.

After visitiog-her playmate Mie };)" BY AHERN | There is a growing i conviction that the real fight at the primaries in June will be one between the old-time stal- warts and the insurgents on the one hand: and. of the. Nonpartisans and the remnants of North Dakota’s so- ecialist organization on the other for ttie control of the republican state central committee. There seems to be a more‘or less common sentiment in republican circies against any-ef- fort to nominate a candidate in op- position. to the league .on either of the’ two non-political organizations which have sprung up as a regult of Nonpartisanism—i. e., the Independ- ent Voters’ association, whose exec- utive manager is Theodore J. Nel- son,. and the Citizens’ . Bconomy league, whose president is Rep, E. W. Herbert. “The Grand Old Party’s worth fighting for, and I think we should make our fight in the primaries,” said’ one old wheel horse of repub- licanism in discussing this phase of the situation. “Of course, if we're whipped there—", and he smiled ‘s nificantly. “But I believe there are enough real republicans in North Da- kota to resurrect the party organiza- tion in this crucial year in the life of our state and nation.” Question As to Means, Just how this resurrection would be accomplished is not indicated. Al of the republican state machinery is now safe in the keeping of the Non- partisan league, which captured it at the, primaries’ in June, 1916, and whith has never until this year seemed in. any imminent danger of losing it. William Lemke, yice pres- ident.of the league, is chairman of the republican state central commit- tee, and'all of the members of that committee have been elected by the Nonpartisans, The league never has made any strenuous effort to capture the democratic state organization, the Jeffersonians being so much in dangerous in state politics since the league gained its ascendancy. The one effort made by the league oppo- sition to elect a coalition ticket un- der the democratic standard did not get very far in 1918, although Gov- ernor’ Frazier’s majority was much reduced, and Miss Miunie.J.
