To The Leader: Brt;ther farmers in North Dakota, this State ou ernment in the Union. We are, how- ever, falling far short of the stand- ardes” we should mainTain. We are not. measuring up to our possibilities. We are not justifying the toil and courage of the founders of this state when we allow a corporation ring to dominate our government; to de- ceive our minds with the flat noth- ings of the “kept press,” and to eleverly disorganzie every movement which: eomes forward for the: purpose of freeing Noth Dakota from control- led rolitics. But we will not be sidetracke d this time, Brother Farmer. Stick by you. arganization. Don’t give up the ship. Swear hy the Leader. 5 John: N. Quast. To The Leader: Any man or buncl.;r of men that will stand for the flim- merce deserves what they get. The great jury that will finally settle this matter and settle it right is com- posed” of the thousands of farmers from all over the state. They will render their virdict when they clean the State House of the slickest bunch of flimflammers that ever disgraced this state. - Necessity is the mother of inven- tion, hence the Nonpartisan League,. Nuf sed. Long live the Leader. Geo. Howe. HOLD IT HERSELF At the railway station a nice old lady left the train and got into a cab.

My wish is that every farmer in the State will join in the good work, which I consider the greatest step ever taken by a farmer organization. Push the or- ganization work as fast as you can. The Nenpartisan Leader: Why is all this bitter denunciation of the farmers’ organization? Much of it comes from those who so loudly pro- fess friendship for the farmer. They .seem to be willing to “help” farmer but are unwilling for him to belp- himself. My idea is that the farmers should pay no. attention to all this chatter from the tree dwel- lers.

San Francisco, Nov. 6.—With the labor chiefs of the United States, in- cluding Samuel Gompers and ‘others, gathered here in advance of the open- Labor’s convention Monday, interest centered tonight in the assurance that recommendations for radical changes in the labor laws of the coun- try will be made by the labor dele- gates. canvass of the delegates and offi- icers of the federation already, here revealed the fact that immigration will be the most prominent subject Well known dele- gates said tonight that Secretary of Labor Wilson’s proposal to have gov- ernment bureaus established in the | principal cities will be given hearty | approval. It was predicted that-the question ‘of indorsing national prohibition will cause more discussion than any other matter in the convention. The effect of the European war on American eco- nomic conditions and the steps .nec- essary to safeguard the workers of this country will be taken up for consideration .

It is the hope of the committee formulating the plan of federation that the project, as it will be out- lined, will be taken under considera- tion by a convention of not. less than 900 farmers’ club representatives—at least one from every farmers’ elub in Minnesota. Central Federation The plan: to be submitted to the convention will probably call for a representative federation, the aimx of which will not be to direct the af- fairs of clubs of the state, but to serve as an agency for executing the combined will of the clubs. The federation probably will be purely an educational and advisery organization. It will not presume to dictate, but will recognize the inde- pendence and freedom of action of the local club ,and will attempt only to keep the: local clubs informed as to questions of public interest, and in such matters to secure expressions of opinion which shall serve to guide 'its action. — For years the farmer has tried to separate WILD oats from his seed with fan- ning mills and grad- ers yet in the fall F or he has O .
