If you know of any of your neighbors who expect to be away from home on election day tell ‘them about this absent voter’s ballot, so they will not lose their votes. WRITE YOUR FRIENDS IN TOWN NOW is the time for hard work and our very best efforts to roll up a “tremendous vote for thé League candidates and for good govern- ment in North Dakota. Léss than two weeks remain before the pri- maries. We must not overlook anythmg We must work our hardest so that none of the efforts which have gone before shall be wasted. : All the League members are solidly behind ALL the League candi- dates.” Where the work is to be done is among the non-members. In spite of the earnest efforts to inform everybody in the state about the aims and purposes “of the forty thousand farmeys- who compose the League’s membership there are still many persons, principally in the: towns and cities, who lack correct information about the League. There is a great opportunity, even in the short-time remaining, for League members to help in telling the téwn people .the FACTS about the League. They have heard much that is not true through the news- They have not heard enough of the truth. Members of the League should write.to their relatives and friends in town and ask their help in spreading the truth. These town friends may not be informed about the manner in which the League’s candidates were selected and how much this election means to the farmers of North Dakota and how- important it is that the League candidates should get every possible vote. Write letters to your fnends in town and tell them what‘lt means to- you and to them ~ HIORT AND HIS CAMPAIGN ACOB L. HJORT of Reeder, who is asking the Republican voters of the state to turn down honest, experienced and competent Tom Hall in order to nominate Hjort for secretary of state, has written a letter to the bankers. He says that a banker, who is 8 “leadet in the ‘commun- ity,” should be “vitally interested” in the selection of the “right man” for secretary of state and he appeals to the bankers to rally their friends: * to fight the Nonpartisan League. It is well that the voters should know. just where Hjort the banker stands. He is the enemy of the farmers and is seekmg electlon through mfluence brought to bear by bankers THE MAN.

It may be that some candidates are foster-’ ing this false impression and doing it deliberately. Candidates who do. this run the risk of having it pointed out that they are MISREPRE- SENTING the League for selfish ends, conduct which may PREJUDICE LEAGUE MEMBERS AGAINST THEM.
