A NEW PAGE OF HISTORY : Harlow, N. D., July 2. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: ‘May we just knock at your door to ] tell you how rejoiced we are over the great victory. Nearly every voter was # the polls in this precinct (Butte Walley) and all but four voted for the Nonpartisan League candidates. Al- though rain began falling in the early morning, continuing nearly the entire ‘day, with heavy hail in the afternoon, the farmers got there just the same. {They said they would stick and, to use one of Uncle John's expressions, I'll be ding, dum, darned if they didn’t. . There certainly was a page of new history written last Wednesday in North Dakota. The farmers and labor- ers have shown determination to have their own. It seems almost incredible considering who and what they had to ‘oppose them. But right and justice is on their side and with the same unswerving ~ determination they will fight the greatest battle and win the greatest victory: next November that was ever fought and won on any : political field in this or any other land. - The Leader is a mighty host in itself. Without it the whole plan of organiza- tion would have been a flat failure. Mr. Townley and his associates in grganization are certainly deserving a great deal at the hands of the laboring people of North Dakota. They and the ‘Leader have shown the way to do and how to do it. 8 OLD TIMER. . “HENRY DUBB” NO MORE {President A. C.

We are doing our best to get back at #hose: -who, have opposed . us * simply , . ‘because we were sticking together as‘ #armers. All the farmers are stopping the newspapers that misrepresented the - League, and throwing their influence to the few that stood for the farmers. I There were from two to five of us members who stayed in Beulali for four ‘days before election, so we know just ‘how they voted, but as I see by my last Leader, the farmers won out. Believe me there :i$ a sick bunch in these. little towns and Bismarck, but keep the good work going ‘as there is a lot of bogus talk around here. , 5 ““Here are congratulations to you, and your associates. * s i E:G.

" You certainly have put quite a speed on the farmer. Everyone now wants to be known as a farmer. Even the poli- ticians who put on their white collars and plug hats and drive around, try to call themselves farmers, whether they. know how to harness a horse or how to fix a harness, whether to mend it with barbed wire, nails or thread. We are glad to know that Mr. Frazier stood so well in the primary election. 0.V.B. ' THANKS FROM LANGER Hon. A. C. Townley, 2% President Nonpartisan League, Dear Sir: At this time I want to extend my sincere thanks to yourself and to the League, consisting of the 40,000 organ- ized farmers and their friends, for the splendid support given me during the primary election, which has just ended. You can readily realize that I will never forget the wholehearted support given e, and that I will unceasingly work to enforce all the laws of the state, in all sections of the state at all times, and to bring into play every resource at the command of the attorney general to give the poor man every right which the law entitles him to, just the same as the wealthy man who has the means to employ good counsel.

Twin Lake cast 89 votes for Frazier and 1 for Burdick and Knox cast 47 out of 49 for Fraizer. ] " “Say, when are we going to make the Leader a_daily paper?” asked Mr. Weimer. His companions were anxious’ for an answer o the same question, which could not be given them. ~ : .| “The farmers of North Dakota are tired of paying out their money to support papers that are false to them and are serving the interests of their enemies,” said Mr. Weimer. , N IN SIOUX COUNTY : Rev.
