PAGE TWO ALBERT STENMO For Senate . Seventh District AWFUL, MARIA—$9! It is all right to swindle the farmers of this state out of 55 million dollars a year in shortage and dockage of grain, but it’s an awful thing, Maria, to ask them to pay nine dollars apiece for the expense of welding them into ' ~an effective political organization.—= BOWMAN CITIZEN. . LIKES F. S. HORLACHER At the Nonpartisan convention held in Fargo, F. S.

S. J. Aandahl made the Times & very pleasant call a few days ago. In response to our inquiry. for some information as to the workings of the Nonpartisan League, he assured us that so far as he knew none of the League candidates for the legislature or state offices were under any oblig- . ation to Mr. Townley or other leaders or organizers in regard to any future program, but were responsible only to’ the farmers who nominated them.— HASTINGS TIMES. i —_ o WHY “FRYING” CONTINUES The daily frying of the Non- partisans by the Courier man con- tinues with unabated heat. The } | i wickedness of the North Dakota farmers in objécting to standing hitched is being energetically dwelt upon. It is the same old bunk that is dished: out whenever any group of working people at- tempt to organize any kind of an economic movement without tak- ing their advice from those who do not want anything started that they themselves do’ not start.— ' LA MOURE ECHO. 0.

DOPE TOO “ROTTEN” Another League member declines to assist ‘the: League’s enemies and cancels his. subscription to the Valley City Courier, which for some time has been issuing weekly attacks upon the Nonpartisan League.: ‘The subscrib- er’s letter ‘is printed in the Courier, as follows, but his name is emmitted: Sir: wish to inform you that X am a member of the Nonpartisan League and in good standing, ' Now the . dope that you print about our. good League officials I have tried hard to eat it, but it seems so rotten that I can’t_ swallow it.

This is the kernel in'the nut. They are opposed to the farmers operating the law machine.. For this reason it is im- portant Frazier be beaten, for it must be remembered it re- quires a two-third vote to override the governor’s veto. It is generally conceded the League, if it sticks, can elect a majority of the legislative members, but a governor opposed could large- ‘Will the farmers stick? or they really and truly a lot of -saps who /deserve the knocks they continually get—PAR- ‘has ever had. ,-enge-of candidates; and 5 m;finations as they cared to.
