THE NONPARTISAN LEADER =~ = A Fight for Justice Frendberg Found League Members at Convention All Full of Determination Some papers in the state have been misled by the dailies unfriendly to the League into printing inaccurate state- ments of what happened at the mass meetings at Fargo. On several in- stancés readers who were actually present have hastened to set the editors right. ' Herewith is reprinted from the Hillsboro Banner a ‘letter typical of many: - g Editor Hillsboro Banners— : On reading the report of the Non partisan League convention in the last issue of the Banmer I notice a few statements which are" not quite cor- rect. Because of this I am writing the following in order that those who did not atténd the convention will not be misled by this report. By way of introduction, I wish to state that thie convention of March 31 and April 1, is a historical event such as happen 'only at critical stages in the world’s history. North Dakota stands as'a state with ifimense wealth and yet the great majority of its in- habitants are able to exist only by means of the most frugal economy and hard labor.

One need only mention the evening meet- ings at which thousands of dollars in - money and property were predged by the membership freely and willingly to carry on the campaign, which has been so ably started. In conclusion, F cannot impress too strongly the duty and necessity of all voters becoming members of the Lea- gue and in so doing, backing its pro- gram and candidates -with ‘their ut- Wm. C.
