D., March 1, 1917, Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I received my first copy of your paper last week. It is a splendid pub- lication, well edited, beautifully gotten up as to subject matter and make up, and a fine tribute to the firmness, poise and evident responsibility of the new movement. The paper is evidence of the first The Leader solicits advertisements of meritorious articles needed by farmers, Quack, fraudulent and irresponsible firms are not knowingly advertised, and we will take it as a favor if any readers will advise us promptly should they have occasion to doubteor question the reliability of any firm which patronizes our Copy for advertisements must reach the Leader office by Saturday previous to publication in order to insure insertion in current issue.

TFor forty years the manufacturing, mining, rail- road and banking interests have been paying for their legislation, for execu- tive administration, and judicial inter- pretation as a necessary part of their business outlay. They bought coal and hired labor—and politicians to make laws. 3 Forty-Four The Soul of BY O. M. THOMASON (Because of many requests for copies the Leader herewith reprints "Forty-four," together with some new stanzas added by Mr. Thomason.) (Tune—John Brown's Body) Bill forty-four now lies mouldering in the tomb, Daisies will be blooming o'er its grave very soon, Stand aside ye fossils there and give the people room, Its soul goes marching on. Marching on, and on to victory; Marching on, and on to victory; Marching on, and on to victory; Its soul goes marching on. We'll bury standpatters 'neath a pile of angry votes, ‘We'll never cease to battle 'til we get their nanny goats, ‘We'll 'stablish independence where the flag of freedom floats, As we go marching on. ‘Woe unto the traitor who becomes a corp’rate tool, The masses have determined that the people they shall rule, And who so thus opposes them shall find himself a fool, For we'll go marching on. You told the honest farmer to go home and slop his hog, Your feet are in the sunlight but your head is in the fog, He'll send you to oblivion and chuck you in the bog, As he goes marching on. The railroad bill also felt your vicious whacks, X You listened to the lobbyists and would not see the facts, Eight and twenty senators will get the voters’ ax, For we’ll go marching on. 7 4 The compensation act it struck the standpat senate snag, The lawyers were determined they should have a lot of swag, At the next election they will hold an empty bag, For we’ll go marching on. The semi-monthly pay it found no welcome on the mat, ‘When it reached the senate where the gang was standing pat, The workers now will say, what's your hurry here's your hat, For they’ll go marching on. The Initiative measure was the ghost of forty-four, It walked into the senate but they met it at the door, They could not kill a spirit but its robe they badly tore, But its soul goes marching on. ~ You've heard our patient pleadings but you've treated them with scorn You had a timely warning and you've heard the coming storm, You've seen the daylight breaking of a bright and better morn, As we go marching on. You think you killed the spirit when you murdered forty-four, Its soul will surely rise again—march on for ever more, And drive the standpat fossils far away from Its soul goes marching on. - freedom’s door, The Nonpartisan League, boys, has started out to win, The way we’ll make the grafters git will be a holy sin, They dug the grave both ‘wide and deep that we will put them in, As we go marching on. Marching on, and on to Washington; Marching on, and on to Colorado; Marching on, and on to Kansas; ‘We'll all go marching on. A SOUTH DAKOTA LETTER Editor Nonpartisan Leader: - I am one of the suckers who signed up as a member with Dryden last fall, and it is claimed that he got 90 per cent of the farmers in this vicinity. Mr. Dryden was a good solicitor, but .all the members have heard about the work since we get the Leader. . . We have been cussed and ridiculed by some of the business men here and some have become discouraged, but if we could get some good lecturer on South Dakota affairs to come here, I believe it would be a good thing for the cause, and have no doubt it would bring in more new members, That cartoon and article about “What's Up in South Dakota” in the issue of the Leader for March 15, was pretty good. Only the hen laying the lemon should have been a parrot in this district. LOUIS LIDTHOM.
