Gang Press at Work | S Reader Arialyzes Motives Behind Attack On Editor Nonpartisan Leader:” Slow- ly but surely the Hanna-McKenzie po- litical machine has come to realize that. the farmers of this state are going to have a political machine of their ‘own. They thought at first to kill off the move by ridiculing’ it; they hoped it would kill itself, but when the new machine started turn- ing last February they realized that the result would be a state run by and " for the class who bears the burden of supporting it. 3 I have been told that the grizzly bear. will’ seldom attack one until he is driven from his booty or cornered, but then he will fight like a demon. How remarkabiy much like the politi- cal gang machine in this state .he | must be.. Every conceivable method | is now being employed to kill off the i attempt to place the government of « this state in the hands of -its-people. Mr. Voter, when “you read the Nor- manden bear in mind that conditions in the future could hardly be made worse than they have been in the past. Notice that almost every gang paper in the state will copy 'Normanden. This proves who is behind that sheet. Remember that if the wool can be pulled over the eyes of: those Norweg- ian people who do not read English it will mean many votes. Take a look at your tax receipt and bear in mind that it may be high- er next year. Has Normanden done anything to hinder this? When George S. Loftus was in this state exposing the thieving methods of our grain terminals and even when he was in the city of Grand ————— W. C. Palmer, who has acted suec- cessfully in the past as secretary of the Tri-State Grain Growers’ associa- tion, was reelected at the January convention of the body at Fargo. His picture appears above. 3 THE SALT OF THE EARTH, By Algernon Charles Swinburne. If childhood were not ip the world, But only men and women grown; - No baby locks in tendrils curled, - No baby blossoms blown; Though men were stronger, women fairer, And nearer all delights in reach, And verse and music uttered rarer Tones of more godlike speech! Though the utmost life of life’s best R hours Found, as’it cannot now find, words; Though desert sards were sweet as e RO - flowers, And flowers could. sing like birds; | But children never heard them, never " They felt a child’s foot leap and run; This were a drearier star than ever Yet looked upon the sun. NEXT TO THE BIBLE ‘Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Do you allow farmers’ wives to icommunicate to your paper? If so I ill be brief. I consider your paper ext to the bible in goodness for hu- Manity.

Normanden - says - the machine . is dangerous because we do not tell everybody how it works, One thing 1s certain, we farmers never knew just how the old machine worked, though we were required to furnish the oil - for it too. If we are to get the bene- fit we are glad to pay the-operating expenses of the machine. Six dollars 1s very little in a case like this and should the Lcague stop now we have gotten our money’s worth because, aftre all, the whole scheme is but an ceducational ;campaign and no farmer will deny but that he has become a better student because of his connec- tion with the League. : Normanden ‘accredits the League to Mr. Townley and a few other individ- uals. ‘These men have done more than their share but had it not been for the hoggishness of the old polit- ical ring the thirty or forty thousand farmers in the League would never have become cogs in the new inven- tiom, and here’s hoping that every gang paper in the state keeps ham- mering away, for by the time the June primaries are here they will have solidified our ranks so that a landslide will be imperative. The League, as an exchange for ideas, is proving itself an educational factor beyond equal. If we stand by it as we should it will prove itself an economic asset upon which it will be hard to place too high a'value.—E. O. NELSON, Hatton, N. D. g PRICE OF GASOLINE The price of gasoline is simplicity itself. There is an' exceptionally heavy demand for gasoline in Europe. The allies are willing to pay any price to get it. But to get a high price in Europe is necessary to charge a high price in the United States. It’s the law of supply and demand.— MILWAUKEE LEADER, X —————X WE ARE delighted with the| Leader.
