I am late, but none the less a true “sticker.” Will try and help all I can.—Z. ULASOFF. 1 WAY TO GET REBATE Correspondent of Leader Tells How Old Line Elevators Work 1t Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I will give you an addition to Mr. Bruns’ article in the September 7 issue of the Leader. The line elevators when loading cars _ measure the depth of the grain and add from six to eight inches ‘to the actual amount of- grain,and when the car is 'mspected at Minneapolis if there is any { sign of leak the inspector marks the car “leak” and the company collects for leakage. A person here \vho has handled an old line elevator says the company collected on an average on all cars shipped from $10 to 815. That makes some rebate from the railroads. CARL A THOMPSON.» TOOK ALL HE HA_D g Supreme 'Court Decision - Ended Career of Cunningham as a'Farmer Editor Nonpartisan Leader: : I have been a sympathizer of the Non- partisan League ever since I got wise. to its purposes. Under a decision made. by the supreme court in 1912-13 I can not be 8 member, as this decision ended ny career as a tiller offthe soil. I am satisfied it is time to clean house'f along the fore part of November, as there are too many chances under present conditions of ruining other farmers and their families. Big Business got all I owned—got what it took me 20 years to... earn. When the whole state is demanding a change it ‘must be brought about to -, It is time - insure peace and ‘contentment. to act. It is time to-do something along lines wanted by the majority.. : Hoping for success and that November will put the kevstoné in place, I am a believer in the Nonpartisan movement. V. D. CUNN INGHAM. Editor Nonpartlsan Leader: ] months’ subscription to the Dakota Daily Leader.™ I believe a daily to be just what we need.. I consider the Nonpartisan Leader to be one of the best educational fxtors ever ngen the farmers of the state. oy HE WANTS THE DAILY Enclosed find order for $3 for six so—G. A PEOPLE’S DAILY J . (Editorial in the Bowman Citizen) i Great’ Ls the power of the press! You've heard that many times bei'ore, Mr. Baer's carboons, 50 popular among the farmers, are :worth the price of the paper and ‘more, to say nothing of the informatwn\ given “along lines .or con- conditions not familiar to us. If a weekly is. of so much b;:efit a dal;‘y but most people are but 'dimly censcious ‘of what a mighty engine for good or - evil the modern newspaper is. % There is one class of people, hewever, "who are fuRy awm of the‘wonder ful power and influence of the press, and these are the nien who have per- ceived how easy it'is to accumnlate wealth if ‘one can get the control of the courts and legislatures. This class, which is composed ‘of men whose fortunes are based on the discovery of this secret, early learnd that if. they could also control the great daily organs for the dissemination of news and knowledge they could mold’ publig sentiment at'their will,. and thus maintain their hold upon the government gobse that lays ‘the golden egg. That is the reason why some of the larges‘newspapers inthe country are ownd ‘and- controlled by the “steal” trust; and other big corporations. . ‘Bt that gréat s'lumbenng giant, the common people, has been waking up ! durmg recent years and’is bécoming wise to the way that big business has been busy ' manufacturing” public’ sentimenf, through: the newspapers. They are learning that predatory wealth telfs them through the press only what it wishes them to know, and thousands of them have turned to such weekly magazines as those published by Bryan, LaFollette and the Socialists, in order to learn the true inwards of political, industrial, and financial conditions. The real.awakening of the people in this state came through the publica- - tion of The Nonpartisan:Leader. Here was one paper that was not controlled by big business, but was:published solely in the interests of those who to# for a living, and the people have learned to love it for its fearlessness, and the fleeced 1? the politicians and big business interests. a " truth which it'reveals concerning the methods by whlch the workers have been I, 80 good. But why should not the people: have a big daily paper: : pubhshed in the, interests of § ice and the men who 'toil? The need for it - is recognized, espemally now: since the people will control the next state legis- . lature. There is utgent need that they should be kept truthfully informed ‘of the work of their servants.at Bismarck, and not have-to dgpend upon the .. garbled and. purposely distorted-accounts for which the old’ gang newspapusv ‘.' " -are famous. “This need is to be supplied.by the publication\of the Dakota Daily Leader, which the- Nonparhsan League has promised to launch, provided enough cash subscriptions can be ‘obtained in advance. : We venture to say that no investment outside of the cost of League mem- bership will met as much to the people of this state as a subscription to the Dakota Daily Leader, and we urge all those who have not “yet forwarded their subscription to do so at once. : The Citizen will gladly. forward your snbscfip- tion to the’ headquarters of the Leagne, ?\i care to leave 1t at this office. . ers here .
