Didn’t it?make you feel pretiy sheep- A qll ish? = You wanted to go out and hide behind the barn or something of the sort, didn’t you? - - If you ever had such an experience yon can begin to appreciate the frame of mind of the man in the picture, who looks like he had just been caught stealing from a blind man. : - He is the man who has rigged up again the same little old April fool joke that has been worked in this state so - often, But. this year the joke has gone wrong. The fishing is very poor in 1916. The farmers are doing seme April fooling themselves and they have turned the politician’s joke against him very neatly, They have passed vgvthe politician and his promises without a second look, They have recognized the old bait and it doesn’t appeal to oM T s ; e ; ... The farmers, banded together in the Nonpartisan League, are going calmly along their journey and are not to be lured into any political bypaths by politicians with their old tricks. They are bound away from the bad lands of Old ~ Gang Politics and Boss-Ridden government toward the productive fields of cooperation with their fellow farmers for the enactment of laws for the people and clean, honorable administration of them. - 2 ed on People’s Measures insurance, terminal elevator and regulation of insurance in this issue
