fa Ww ‘AGE TWO THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE ’ ee EEE UES Vv MONDAY, JUNE 28, 1926 A Message to Progressives . The issue is clearcut: On June 30th the voters will be called upon to decide whether agriculture shall re- tain the benefits already won through the establishment of a Hail Insurance Department, A Bonding Fund, A Bank of North Dakota, A State Mill and ‘Elevator and other industries; or whether the farmer’s efforts for the past thirty-five years along these lines to benefit himself and people of North Dakota shall be destroyed. The farmer must fight drouth, and hail, and grasshoppers, and the elements, They seem to conspire against him. But even after he has raised a crop he is obliged to fight grain combines and money combines. . And just the other day the farmer received a slap from congress in its defeat of the Haugen bill.. Are the merchants and the business and professional men of Bismarck and Burleigh county going to continue their fight against the farmer, or are they going to fall into line and support agriculture in its fight for existence? The time has come in North Dakota when the town folks should get back of the farmer in his fight. The farmers’ governor has sought to allay the bitterness that was engendered between city and country. He has tried to be a governor for the entire state. He has given us @ splendid, administration and has performed his work well against great odds. He deserves an endorsement at the hands of the voters on June 30th. He has conducted a clean campaign—no mudslinging, no bitterness, nothing but the best wishes for the success of ALL the people of North Dakota.. There have been no attacks on private institutions or individuals. The farmer is standing on the brink of bankruptcy in this state.and nation. He is. asking you for aid and support in his struggle for existence. ‘You, by yourvote on June 80th, may push him over that brink into bankruptcy. But a bankrupt farmer will not benefit, the merchants, the bankers, and the professional men of Bismarck. Prosperity for the farmer, spells prosperity for the merchant and worker in town. PROGRES- SIVES OF BURLEIGH COUNTY, HAVE YOU GOT THE HEART TO TURN THE FARMERS DOWN? Vote for your economic indepezslence on June 30th. To Progressive LY. A.’S In Bismarck and Burleigh County Two years ago hundreds of progressive voters in Bismarck and Burleigh County voted for Nestos because they believed he was trying to give the State Industries a Fair Trial. These Progressive 1VA’s were in favor of retaining the State Indus- tries until such time as they proved their worth. They felt that a selfish and unscrupulous inner circle was in control of the Farmers movement; that the management of the State Indus- tries could not be entrusted to their care. So you voted for Nestos. In the meantime your IVA organization has come under the control of men who wish to destroy these industries before their worth and usefulness have been determined. They care not what happens to or becomes of the farmer. Their interests are with the farmers’ enemies. In fact, you progressive IVA’s must admit that your organization is dominated and controlled - by reactionaries. Where is the old fight you put up back in those Insurgent days of 1910 and 1912? Are you going to permit epithets and false accusations and lies to blind your progressive judgment? i Down in your progressive heart you know that Sorlic, Matthaei and Hoople are not radicals. Down in your progressive _ heart you know that Sorlie has given this state a wonderful Administration, and that Matthaei and Hoople are men of, the same caliber. And you know, too, that young Nye will -repre- ‘sent your progressive views much more accurately and efficient- Jy 4han his opponent will. So the farmer calls upon.you at this time to support him in his effort to help himself by retaining the State Industries as they are, and by obtaining real farm “relief at Washington. “Sorlie Ticket” at this time will be the most effective way. to express your demand for action in behalf “of Agriculture—-AND YOU- KNOW IT. Remember, the men whose names ‘appear on the “Sorlie Ticket” WILL SERVE AGRICULTURE BEST. .YOTE FOR THEM. x A large majority for the Progressive - Sorlie Ticket Cut this out and take it to the Polls.

Although it is quite contrary to my usual custom and under ordinary circumstances might be considered pre- sumptuous I have no hesitation in this instance in appealing to my friends in North Dakota in the. present senatorial contest North Dakota under- stands full well the farm problem North Dakotans can discriminate between legislative gestures and real relief for agriculture. Recent events in Wash- ington demonstrate no real relief can be obtained -at this time for farmers and none ever will be won for them unless representatives and ‘senators wholly in sympathy with them are on guard in Congress North Dakota has such 4 man in the senate in Gerald P Nye in season and out he fought the good fight for his people and was ever foremost in the battle for agricultural relief North Dakota and the farmers of the nation need him in Washi: in. Young active discerning and courageous he is swayed\neither by the selfish- ness of the industrial east nor by fear of the alliance between powerful special interests and politics. Again events abroad have thoroughly justi-: fied the views of Senator Nye Cae our international relations. He is eternally right:in his desire to keep America free from) controversies and age old hostilities of Europe Senator Nye has demonstrated his inde- pendence his courage and his righteousness. He has proven himself a tried and effective friend of the farmer he stands four square for America and his own people. He deserves at their hands a triumphant election. (Signed) HIRAM 'W. JOHNSON Brookhart, La Follette and other Progressives make appeal for Nye\ Washington DC June 25, 1926, Alfred S Dale Bismarck ND North Dakots will give her answer Juné 30th to the action of the stand, ublican Democratic coalition in defeating all genuine farm relief legislation at this session of congress the people of North Dakota have so consistently shown that they cannot be fooled nor coerced by great industrial and jal interests outside of the state working through their agents .within the state that progrensives everywhere await with confideyce the nomination of Senator Gerald P: Nye the Progressive Republican candidate. ‘Senator Nye has given ample proof during a single session off servi¢e that he has ability courage and unwavering fidelity ‘to his people and ‘to PF sig cae principles. -On every rell call in the senate he has voted for ff of his state and for the common people of the nation. He has shown ‘that he cannot be controlled by party bosses from other states and that the cloak of party regularity behind which ‘selfish interests seek searial peivileen cannot him. ‘His vigorous youth is an asset to the progressive in the senate and his return to Washington would strengthen and wnopurage the effort ‘which is being made to smash' the power of sectional interests over the federal government. The special interest type of thlican in the senate is responsible for the defeat of farm legislation as it is responsi- ble for Newberryism ‘in political campaigns and ‘Sominstion-of ate peenies gcvesnmgnt by corporate interests. Senator Nye has boldly ed this system in his able speeches on the senate floor he has won the full reliance and respect of his progressive colleagues and the fear afd enmity of the party bosses if the great northwest is ultimately to i hs sand if the progressive movement is to go forward faithful gublic sof the scent Senator wie, tiust ‘be kept in the senate.
