D. e ] Mention Leader when writing advertisers A Letter to the Herald Editor Editor Grand Forks Herald, Grand Iorks, N. Dak. Dear Sir: Bismarck, Feb. 23, 1917. In the evening issue of the Herald of February 19 in-an arti- cle purporting to lead your readers to believe that ‘‘revolt has broken out in the ranks of the Nonpartisan League, and the move is a direct protest against the seeret caucus methods,”’ you men- tion me as being one of the leaders of such revolt. _ The article was largely a pure fabrication, with “intent to mislead the readers of the Herald. There has heen no ‘‘revolt” in the ranks of the League senators and representatives, and no effort has been made in the much-abused caucus to restrain any members from speaking and voting in either house of the legis- lature as his conscience dictates. The enemies of the Nonpartisan League only wish there avere diseord and revolt among the League legislators and they have neglected no opportunity to create such divisicn from the open- ing of the. legislative assembly to the present day, and one of the factors in this effort has been the ‘‘ Grand Forks Herald’’ through its many misleading references to the acts of the League members. There is no ‘‘revolt,”’ there is no disecord, as our encmies desire, but on the contrary we are united and in harmony for the League and its program as strofigly as ever. ,““ We’ll Stick.”’ Yours truly, C.”P. PETERSON, League member lower house. Another Fake by Herald Conway League Members Make Affidavit as to Falsity of Grand Forks Paper’s Story RAND FORKS, N. D.,, Feb. 24. —Editor Courier-News: In- closed please find an affidavit _:‘f" which you are requested to — publish in the interest of truth. The occupations of the signers are as follows: P. H. Flynn, farmer; Harry Burris, postmaster; J. H. Mc- Donald, proprietor pool room and bar- ber shop in whose place we league workers spent the evening the meeting was alleged to be; Geo. Burris, who works for McDonald; J. P. Craig, league; Martin Bjerke, proprietor gen- eral merchandise store; Anton Sobolik, farmer; W. E. Quigley, league; Ed. Hunt, proprietor Commercial hotel; Wm. Maxwell, farmer; F. P. McNam- ara, league; John V. Stary, farmer; Bert Stary, auto dealer. The notary is the banker at Conway. State of North Dakota, county of ‘Walsh, ss.: WHOLLY FALSE - SAY THESE MEN W. E. Quigley, Wm. Maxwell, Ed. Hunt, F. P. McNamara, Ed. McNam- ara, J. V. Stary, Bert Stary, P. H. Flynn, Harry Burris, Anton Sobolik, John McDonald, George Burris and J. P. Craig and Martin Bjerke, being first duly sworn, depose and say: that they have read in The Grand Forks Herald, morning edition of Feb. 21, 1917, a purported account of a meet- ing held at Conway the night of Mon- day, Feb. 19, 1917, which story is on the front page and headed as follows: “Conway Farmers sign notes $101,660 to buy League autos, but decline to pay for Townley’'s machine says letter.” That the entire article relating to said purported meeting is wholly false and untrue; that there was no Nonpar- tisan League meeting at Conway on the night of Feb. 19, 1917. That J. W. Brinton is purported in said article to have presided at such meeting; that to best of affiants’ knowledge he was not in Conway that day nor at any time in 1917. That in said article one Dan Sutherland is said to have signed League notes for automobiles. That Dan Sutherland was not in Conway on Feb. 19, 1917, nor at any time for about two months previous to this date, but is in Canada, and to affiants’ best knowledge was in Canada on that date. That the said Wm. Maxwell, J. V. Stary and Anton Sobolik are said in the article to have signed League notes on Feb. 19, 1917. That these three af- flants separately swear that they did not on this date nor at any time in 1917 sign any League notes. That the entire article was purely a fabrication, and that if The Herald did receive any such letter as the ar- ticle stated, that the writer was ir- responsible and undoubtedly a frantic enemy of the League, trying by a huge falsehood to.create a bhig story out of absolutely no foundation of truth. » NO MENTION MADE ABOUT LEAGUE NOTES Affiants further state t}lat on the afternocon of Feb. 19, 1917, a Nonpar-, tisan IL.eague meeting was held at Con- way, at which about 150 were present, “including John Cooley, city editor of The# Grand Forks Herald, who asked permission to attend from W. E. Quig- & ley, which permission the affiant W. E. Quigley, avers was granted. That at this meeting, at which the Conway band played, and a quartet rendered a musical number, and the school children attended in a body, the matter of signing notes for automo- biles was not in any way mentioned, nor has there been any meeting at Conway, the above affiants, who are residents of Conway, aver, within the years last past, at which any League note were signed.

CHEERFULLY RENEW (Editorial in Parshall (N. D.) Leader) A representative of the Nonpartisan League has been here for the past two weeks collecting yearly dues to that organization. We are informed that for dues the next two years $16 are asked, which assures the Leader in any event. It appears the farmers are re- newing their allegiance cheerfully. This is evidence that the disintegration hoped for by the League’s enemies has not yet come to pass. So long as the farmers are willing to pay the mod- erate sum of eight dollars a year to- ward the upkeep of their organization it will survive and remain a power— cohesive, alert, vigilant. Nothing can be done without money. When the farmers become indifferent and rebel against the payment of their dues, that time will mark the decay and ultimate finish of their organization. STICK—THAT'S ALL - Towner, N. D, Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I will say it is not I, nor we as mem- bers of the League, who should be con- gratulated; it is you as organizers who saw fit to bestow upon us this.happy event. Without your determined effort we would be where we were years ago in the grip of old Big Business. But with your able assistance we will in the near future he free. Every mother's son of us should come forward with the same determined effort and stick to his membership for two years, which is a paltry sum of $16. ILet us be loyal. The Leader alone is worth that to any- one who wants to read the truth. If you will excuse me, I will give my opinion, and that is, we have not won. ‘We have just started, and below is a guotation, which, if followed, will bring us all to victory. ; " “When a work is once begun, never leave it till done. Be the labor great or small, do it well or not at all.” As big a question as this seems to be, i. is simple. Just be loyal and stick. Success is ours. I. B. COOK.
