Eli- - Hatton Farmers for League Enthusiastic Meeting Hears Both Sides and In- dorses Program of Farmers—ILeague Enemies Are Present Hatton, N. D., Feb. 17.—A big meet- ing of farmers here today, called by Equity men for the discussion pro and con of the legislative situation at Biss marck, the League’ program and -other topics of the hour; adopted resolntions reaffirming their support for the: Non- -partisan league program and condemnr ing the senators and representatives: who are trying to block it and praising’ the League men in the legislature who are standing together for legislation for the farmer. N The resolutions were adopted prac- tically unanimously after a number of those representing the opposition to the farmers’ cause had been given oppor- tunity to talk. The farmers also ap- proved in their resolutions House Bill 427, which the merchants of the state are backing. This bill would put a stop to the trading stamp business,. which the merchants believe is causing muck money to Teavé the state which should stay at home. As “keeping the money at home” is the slogan of the farmers, they readily sympathized with a like movement, along another line, by the merchants. Clarence Nelson of Hatton, acted as chairman of the meeting, which was addressed by President A. C. Townley and J. W. Brinton of the Nonpartisan League; M. V. Boddy, secretary of tHe North Dakota Equity -‘society; O. J. Sorlie, who was defeated for lieutenant governor last year, and T. B. Tufte, a. farmer who is interested in one of’the: local banks. The three former spoke in favor of the League program and House Bill 44, while Messrs.” Sorlie and Tufte took the opposition side. It was the larg- est and most interesting farmer gath- ering ever held in Hatton and a large part of the audience came many miles by train and sleigh. FIVE HOURS SPENT IN HEARING SPEECHES The meeting was opened by Mr. Boddy at 1 o’clock, and was closed by Mr. Townley just before six, the en- tire audience remaining throughout the meeting and enthusiastically received the speakers, especially those advocat- ing the farmers’ program. Mr. Boddy spoke on the subject of railroads in their relation to the farm- er, and by chart showed how the big railroads had been manipulated to bring their promoters big profits at the expense of the farmer. He illus- trated the difference between organi- zations of profit and organization of service, showing wherein the Equity was an organization of service. He commended the League and went on to show that there was plenty of work for the Equity to do, and a great deal more to be done when the League program was enacted into law. He strongly supported the League pro- gram, the organization and the work it was trying to accomplish. SORLIE ATTACKS NONPARTISAN LEAGUE He was followed by Mr. Sorlie, who spoke in gpposition to the League, its officers and its legislative members. He was bitter.in his denunciation of everyone connected with the League and was frequently heckled and ques- ticned by the farmers in the audience. He charged the men connected with the League with being “socialists, car= petbaggers, infidels, atheists and free- lovers,” and asserted that they were working with the railroad companies thru C. B. Little, president of the First National bank of Bismarck; that the League was backed by the National Autos for Sale REAL AUTOMOBILE BARGAINS.

GANG IGNORES THE STATE CONSTITUTION . “It’s darn funny,” said Mr. Townley, “haw little the old gang legislators ig- rore the constitution: when they want to do something, The state-owned railroad' at Bismarck was not built to daul wheat. The old ;gang senators «didn't lilte to walk in cold weather up to the capitol. They would rather ride in.a: Heated: street car. “So they built' a government rail- road: for their own benefit.

Here in North Dakota is being: fought a bloodless. fight, but if Burope had the same end to be gained doubtless; the. common people might think that their woes. had not been: in vain. ‘We owe: it to the slaughtered millions of this and other ages to win this fight.

In fact, I was such a good Socialist in past years that President Taft appointed me to a $2,000 postoffice job at Beach with r.othing to do but advocate Socialism. Taft, you know, was also a great So- cialist. “And I am some carpetbagger,” con~ tinued Mr. Brinton. “I have traveled about a great deal. In fact, I came to North Dakota an unborn babe, brought into Wells county, this state, 33 vears ago, being the first white boy born in that county.” K SORLIE IS “RIGHT"” SAYS MR. TOWNLEY ‘When Mr. Townley opened his ad- dress he answered the charge of Mr. Sorlie that he (Townley) always made a set speech and therefore had the best of the argument. Sorlie had charged Townley with making the same speech 300 times, Mr. Sorlie is right,” said Mr. Town- ley. “That is why Mr. Sorlie .,«d his backers, the Grand Forks Herald and the big corporations outside the state don't like it, They don’t like this ‘Feed D' wheat speech repeated so of- ten. That’'s where I offend them. But I want to say to Mr. Sorlie that I am going to keep right.on repeating these speeches until something is done about it. I am going to see that something is done about it if your farmers stand back of me. You can see where you lost nearly a dollar a bushel on ‘Feed D' wheat last year. If you farmers don’t see to it that something is done, iIf we don’t keep on repeating these speeches, it will be the same story next . year and every year.” After discussing Prof. Ladd’s mill- Ing tests and his “socialistic” bulletins, as Mr. Townley called them, he ques- ticned the audience as to whether ‘Feed D’ wheat was constitutional. “We want to change the constitution, or get a new constitution, which will make this ‘Feed D’ wheat business un- cuenstitutional.” In discussing the state-owned twine Undoubtedl: today.
