WHAT. MCKAIG SAYS 3 Ray McKaig, who was the delegate from the 30th legislative district and had a veiee in the nomination conven- tion of the Nonpartisan League, when asked if ‘the meeting was entirely har- monious had the following to say: “I have never seen a group of men more united in one purpose than at this convention. It was composed. of some of the strongest farmers of the state. To clean up the old politicians and put into office real farmers was their ambition. Forty-four of us met on Thursday afternoon and elected our own officers and tellers and after discussing the - qualifications of the different politicians we elected a group of men who are genuine far- mers and leaders in their commun- ities. With three or four exceptions every man indorsed met with unani- mous approval. It was a crusade spir- it that dominated this convention, from naming the governor to the su- preme court candidates and was a general cleanup. All this talk of frameup is bosh. When we took this slate .and went befort the massmeet- ing-on Friday and Saturday there was one round of approval. There was no feeling that we had shoved a program on them but what they wanted. Ask Steve Tokash of St. Anthony or any others. present from this Jocality.”— MANDAN NEWS. HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL The - recently organized Farmers’ Neonpartisan League, which promises to be the greatest political power of the state of North Daketa, held a great and rousing convention at Far- go last week, Friday and ‘Saturday. Many: speeches were delivered during the two-day convention and band mu- sic was freely dispensed. Those who attended from Sharon all agree ‘that it was a fine and highly successful gathering. — SHARON REPORTER. SOLID FOR THE LEAGUE Many of the farmers near Binford went to Fargo, last Thursday, to. at- tend the state convention of the Non- partisan League, held. there Friday and Saturday. They returned home Monday greatly enthused over what they saw and heard, and -are better beosters for the cause. The conven- tion was the greatest political gather- ing ever held in North Dakota. The farmers, practically to a man, are so- lid for the League, which means -that the reign of the political bosses of the %fitfi_} 1Ss doomed to defeat—BINFORD ALL ENTHUSIASTIC A number of farmers of this: vicin- ity were at Fargo last week to at- tend the Nonpartisan League conven- tion, and are very enthusiastic over it.
