THE STATE NEEDS IT Editor Nonpartisan Leader I am of the opinion that a dmly “Leader” would meet with the general approval of the people of the state and especially of the farmers. - ~If you decide to establish a -daily I hope it shall be for a longer period-than six menths. Let it be a firmly organ- ized institution. If any paper with a daily and Sunday edition can be made to pay, I see no - reason why the “Dakota Daily Leader” cannot be made a profitable investment ' from the beginning, as the principles for which it stands have ‘such 2 large and enthusxa.stm following. "1 shall be glad to give ‘such time as I can spare from farm:duties ‘to -gather subscriptions. . , 8 e IR " MONROE A. WILDER.

I have for years considered that a daily newspaper not controlled by the interests was necessary in order to make progress politically and econonucally Another thing to consider is, that our present controlled newspapers, if people can get news service from a real newspaper, will lose subscnbers and . consequently influence. A. G. BYLIN. REAL DEMAND FOR A DAILY Editor Nonpartisan Leader: . In reference to a daily paper, enclosed please find cheék for $3 in payment of * my subscription for six months for ‘the Dakota Daily Leader. The position that the orgamzatxon has created within' the state in less than & year, really creates a demand for a daily.” If the people as a whole are to become a little more respectful of one amother’s- interests, nothing but an up-to-date daily can reach them effectively. This 'is a”step in the direction of preparedness. Wishing the cause unbounded success, I am _CHAS. F. DUrms. : WHAT DONAHUE IS LOOKING FOR Editor Nonpartxsan Leader: = i 0.} Your , proposition in your . issue. of August 3rd should meet with universal favor fram all classes of farmers,” You promise us a-daily paper; such as I-have been looking for for some time... I have been for some years a subscriber to the Minneapolis ‘Jéurnal ‘(one of - the worst gang papers that comes into:-the:state). Any proposition introduced by Big Biz, from reciprocity up, has always received ; 1ts hearty support. “Up to the present time in order to keep posted on the- daxly news we are.in a way compelled.to give such papers our support. Wishing you success. JAMES DONAHUE, - OLSNESS IS FOR IT, ' Editor Nonpartxsan Leader: _ ; I certainly sanction the plan of pub- hshmg a-daily paper to hold - forth*the same issues and principles as advocated by the the Nonpnrtlsan League. I have held ‘the view from the start that we must have such an organ. We livein an" age of feverish speed and must have a quick rapid-repeater to refute and offset falsehoods and charges hurled against us by thé unfriendly daily press. We also’ must -have the news daily and in'my. opinion it would be economy. to combine the news features wi the dlscusswn of political and social problems in one - paper S. A. OLSNESS. LOOKS GOOD TO FERGUSON . Editor Nonparhsan Leader: Your proposition of publishing a daily paper strikes me as the proper thing to " do, and I think every farmer and every business man, everyone who has the wel- fare of the people of the state at heart, will support the proposition. We nwer have had and never will have the political . situation presented to us tmthfully, honestly and fearlessly in any other way, and surely any one will agree with me _that it will be better to have the truth coming to us seven times a week than. once, as at present. - Then'we will nothave to spend any ‘of our time reading I. M.. Guilty or. the Grand Prongs Herald, or any of the Test of the political dope handed out to us bu the two-by-four publications that are! - agents in this state for the Chamber of Commerce and big business interests of other states. We have won a - splendid v1ctory and everything Has gone. well so far, but let’ us not grow- tired or careless in well doing, but be ever alert for the beast of Special privilege, whose yellow fangs the - lamb’s wool can not cover. /I hope there . .wfll be enough mterested in this daily 'paper propos:tmn to make xt a grand ' ALEX FERGUSON. e
