A sincere rebuke to the political: gangsters of this State is what is Jjmest meeded. They must come to. This picture shows two North Da- kota farmers, North Dakota, digging potatees— which will be fed to stock because the price is so low .and freight is so high they cannot ship them to market. x In the cities there ‘are millions of poor people who are unable to buy potatoes because the price is:tpo high |:or because wages are oo .low-or both.

FARGO TANNERY, FARGO, Nall Nonpartisan Leader: Hats off 10" the Nonpartisan Leader! Its «coming marks an ‘epoch ‘in the hard, bitter struggle «of the produc- ing .class towards ‘the nltimate goal of imdustrial and political justiee. Its appeatance is‘an-earnest preof -f the fact that the producers of North Da- kota .are iired .of jpredmcing plenty |.and ‘being :able to keep for ‘themselves Its birth is proof positive that we farmers will no ilonger submit tamely ‘to a code of mparasite maile laws; laws avhich compel ‘us to acespt 760 to 800 feet of lumber while we pay for 1,000 feet; laws ‘which compel us to pay 10 .and 12 per cent interest while farmers of other countries get “their money direct from the state at 4 percent; laws which favor the Har- vester Trust .and .its price of $185 on binders which ,cost $30 fo .manu- facture; laws ‘which wink:at sa thiey- ing, despicable marketing system which takes latlvantage «of the farm- ers’ need ‘and squeezes wheat - down 'to 85 eents or less which later ‘(when the speculator ‘has ‘it), is -sold agein for $1.50 per ‘bushel. The Nonpertisan Leader marks an- other milestone in the onward, up- avard, irvesistable, .evelutionary margh of man tewands the final goal -of jus- tice and ‘human bretherheed. It is indeed refreshing to find :aanother pa- per ‘(and a movement ‘behind "that :pa- per) ‘which can; neither be wheedled, bull-dozed, nor compromised hrto be- traying the farmers into ‘the hands of the non-producing parasites; men who vide :squarely on the farmers’ il backs while very obligingly -sending ‘them ‘out ‘‘flunkeys” to ‘teach them how to “farm the farm,” while the -l rider of course “farms the farmer.” Again, I say, Godspeed the Leader, the Nonpartisan League, and all the il men who have given their time, Ja- ber, .and substance towsrd the -end .economic. justice might 'be . THOS. B. WOOD,: Sarles, No. Dak. LET’S STAND FIRM Frem Industrial Treedom: The Nonpartisan ‘League, simply means that the farmers:and workers of the State are .going to stand together; that those ‘who compose nearly all ©of the State’s population, are going to rule; it means the end of a minority ity rule. It means that these who pay all the taxes, are going to em- ploy their own legislature and offi- cers to spend it. It is simply pop- ular government, instead of Party Government. It means ‘that the things ‘the Farmers WANT, -they want worse than they do PARTY. This movement can ‘be carried on in- «dividually . and mdependently in a measure; you can “think those ideas; you .can say with your determination —“That yen are nat going ‘to care wvery ‘much for any party; that you ‘will not vote for men chosen by the Tuling class; that “a Banker should mot e Governor, should not repre- sent Fammers in legislatures; you .| can insist on those who come ask- ‘ing for your vote, to'sign -a cafd agreeing to support—Terminal Ele- -vators, Flour Mills,, Packing' Plants end ithe Recall.
