Editor Nonpartisan Leader: As a member of 72 League I wish to make a few remaril and in doing so I will begin by saying that the Non- partisan League is the greatest farm- ers’ movement that has ever been started since John Hancock signed the Declaration of Independence. I have helped_to put on 36 members in this vicinity. Some of my city friends did not like it, but I am proud of it. Those same city friends did not consult the farmers when they organized their so- called business men’s association. They did not organiZe themselves, but had an expert organizer from the cities. ‘We presume he was a hired organizer. He surely would notf, work for nothing. The Leader is certainly the greatest farmers’ paper in the United States to- day. It has thrown a bomb into thel Minneapolis milling combine and hit them so hard they will never again tell us that funny little story about low grade wheat—the famous “D feed” wheat, . etc. That's pretty good stuff. ‘We are all with you. The farmers of the Notrthwest paid for those big Minneapolis mills and those big steel mills we hear so much about. But according to the verdict, they should be labeled STEAL mills. No. 1 wheat in Minneapolis Jan. 17, $1.95. No. 1 wheat in Sauk Center Jan. 17, the same day, $1.77, 18 cents mar- gin. How do you like it, farmers? Re- member the spread in your low grade ° wheat that they are making such good flour of at the Phelps mill, is far worse 2 | LIKED LIVESTOCK STORY | ‘Wilmot, S. D. | Editor Nonpartisan Leader: | After reading your valuable | paper and especially the articles | about the South St. Paul stock- | yards, I thought I would write you | a few lines to tell vou how well | pleased I am with the paper and | | | | | | | | | | | | those articles in particular. I hap- l pened to meet Mr. Harmon - at |. South St. Paul, but did not know | what his particular business was | then. . | It certinly was high time that | someone exposed the methods of | the livestock exchange and I sin- | cerely hope that you will keep it | { up. Although the majority of | | farmers don’t realize it, they are | | Just as much at the mercy of Big | | Biz on the livestock market as they | | are on the Board of Trade, the only | | difference being that they can not | | juggle the price of stock quite as | | much as the price of grain. | | Yours for success. | | ALEC MCDONALD, -~ | | Manager Wilmot Co-operative | | Shipping Association. | f——— ¢ BLAME THE ' NONPARTISANS (Editorial in the Belfield (N. D.) Times) It seems that the Nonpartisans are going to be blamed for everything at Bismarck, good, bad or indifferent, and wheather the League or League legis- lators are responsible, Thus the St. Paul (Minn.) Dispatch, evidently lining up to fight the move- ment which is gaining strength in that state, points to the compulsory crop ro- tation bill which was introduced in the North Dakota senate as an example of what a farmers’ legislature may do. The truth is that the author of the bill is none other than Senator McLean of Cavalier county who is a hold-over: senator, and is not a Nonpartisan. _But that makes no difference to 'those who want to “knock.” Any kind of a club is good enough, for those disposed to wish the farmers’ movement to “blow up.” DODGING THE ISSUE Pasadena, Cal, Jan. 20, 1917. Mr. A. C. Townley: -I received announcement for a League massmeeting at Valley City, N. D., January 17, on my arrival here last night, having been on the way the past two weeks, }-Ience missed this important meeting. But as I was not able to be present at this meeting will drop you a line and say that I am emphatically in favor of the League program being enacted into law during’ this session of the legislature and you are hereby -authorized to say for me to those hold-over senators who think they are not elected on this issue, that ~the overwhelming majority who voted the League program at this last elee- tion ought to'be sufficient expression of the farmers’ opinion, and for them " to dodge the issue on sugh a pretense seems to me a very weak excuse and not-justified. ‘Wishing the League splendid success, Iam O. P. ENERSON. that that.- But don't say anything about it. You might hurt Big Business. But whatever you do, farmers, get together. Join the Nonpartisan League and let us see if we can do as well as they have done in North Dakota. ‘We are getting a pretty good grip on the big millers, and some more of those leeches now, and two years from now, we should be able to give them a genu- ine old bear hug. We have about 1400 members right around Sauk Center, thanks to Mr. N. S. Randall. He aroused us from our Rip Van Winkle slumber. Now we are beginning to think a little. Two years from now we will try the same stunt as they did in North -Dalkota. Go to it, you good old farmers of North Dakota. Minnesota is orgdniz- ing fast. ~ We will sbon be with you and help put the skids under that old political gang that has been such a faithful servant for Big.Business. Build your terminal elevators, pack- ing plants, etc. Why should you ship your grain, cattle, etc., away down to Minneapolis and St. Paul? You .have " been doing the work for those gentle- men millionaires long enough, while they have gobbled up your. hard-earned money, through laws made by-a cor- rupt political gang, under the disguised name of Democrat or Republican. Let us forget those two names and vote the straight farmers’ ticket. ' Now I am going to chop off right here by giv- ing three cheers for A. C. Townley and the farmer governor of North Dakota. T. J. FLAHAVEN., Lawyér Opponent B. S. Tenneson, Fargo lawyer who is one of the leaders of the opposition to the farmers’ cause in the North Dakota lower house. FOR TORRENS SYSTEM Ellendale, N. D. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I'see quite a number of bills are to ba backed ‘by the Nonpartisan League in the legislature this winter. I think the bill for the. Torrens system ‘of registra- tion of land is most essential to us farmers, more so than some of the others. Abstracts cost from $10 to $50 with additional for every transfer. Just think for a moment the ' amount of money it takes from the farmers of the state every few years as they have to ‘be renewed for every loan or transfer, and contrast it with the convenience of the Torrens abstract. £ I realize we will have the opposition of the abstractors as they.oppose such a measure. They are for relieving us of interest charges, but not for elimi= nating this expense. 'Farmers should write to their members urging the Tore hens system. GEO. W. DEAN, L e i e e N S T THIS YEAR, PLEASE Mr. A. C. Townley, Dear Sir: I am sorry to say that I cannot attend the meeting at Valley City, so I will give my opinion by mail My opinion is that we want a state” constitution this year, if possible. . It won’t do any good after eight yearss J I want you to put everything through that you can put through. I remain, Your farmer friend, THOS. BRADBORN.
