. V- . PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT JAMES MANAHAN APPEALS TO - NORTH DAKOTA FARMERS : I urge voters of North Dakota to vote for themselves, by marking their ballots, in a nonpartisan ‘spirit, for candidates who stand for the Protection of markets and prefits for farmers. Fair markets and reasonable’ prefits for the food producers of the Northwest can never be secured by the Bemocratic party which is con- trolled by the Solid® South, backed up by the great industrial centers, all clamoring for cheap wheat and meat fer food. The Wilsor administration has made the issue sectional by delibex- . ately and selfishly making laws and extravagant appropriations favoriag the cotton belt at the expense of the graim and cattle states. The werld war is all that shields us now from sixty-eent wheat and the hard times “that come toall classes when the farmers’ profits are destreyed. i The Wilson administration is unfriendly to the Northwesf. Te favor the South it let in grain free from cheap countries te help the grain gamblers of Minneapolis and Chicago held down the price te the farmer. ¥t refused te prosecute the Chamber of Commerce monopely and ignered the demand of the five thousand Equity farmers who me in St. Paul last winter. The Democratic party wants cheap wheat. President Wilson has favored tRe railroads in his appeintments. to the Interstate Commerce Commission and as a result freight taxes have increase& the eost of living and the expenses of food preduction. He would not appoint Georg Loftus to that eommission but named a man from his ewn state znd a railroad lawyer from Colorade, making the commission reaetiomary in spirit and very eonsiderate to railread owners. The eight keur law will afford another excuse to raise freight rates and cuot farmes” pofits already unfairly taxed for transportation. - The president has been on both sides of .toofmany great questions to inspire confidence in his stability under pressure. His Mexican policy has been fatally uncertain and fraught with lasting shame and increasing danger to peace and security. ; The Democratic members of the house and senate have been little more than rubber stamps for Woodrow Wilson, whose temperament is as antoeratic as his ideals are aristocratic, and whose cenfidenee in him- self never feels the need of legislative deliberation or cengressienal - adviee. No trusts have been hurt anywhere but our farmers have been hit on beth sides by this Wilson control ef our government. The Deme- cratic congress has been subservient, selfish, servile and seetionat under [ his sway. ; i I therefore urge the election of Hughes and the whole cengressional ticket, McCumber te the senate and Yoang, Norton and Helgesen to the . house. They: stand for Dakota; their opponents stand for Wilson and F cheap wheat. As a last werd; let me warn the Nerth Dakota farmers net o be deeeived by statements against Hughes by Ex-Senator Hansbrough, who was associated in the exploitation of Alaska, according to magazi"ue writers, and whem the people of North Dakota repudiated because of his Is ke mot Wilson?
