From the state of California; from Washington and Oregon and Kansas; from Texas and Oklahoma; from Florida, from Maine: from every state and every community in the United States today, comes a cry—a cry for help! From the starving thou- sands and millions of all the big cities, comes that cry.

You are today the guardians of lib- erty of the people of the United States. Their guardians! Their Guardians! Recognized as such! Because they have laid down their little tools, and are looking to you, with your great or- ganization—greater than you know— to succor, to rescue them from this veritable hell on earth, where men starve in the midst of plenty. And I want to say that I believe that you will prove true to your trust. I don't believe there is a man in this audience little enough, so debased in character, so lacking in intelligence and understanding, that he will place one straw in the way of the progress of this great movement. And knowing that, and feeling that, I carry to you the greetings of a million, yes five million, six million, of farmers in the United States. ILetters are pouring into the offices of this organization by the score every day, congratulating you, and asking you how to do it. Let- ters from farmers; and letters from the working people of the nation asking how soon can you ship us your flour so that we can get it at a fair price, and potatoes at a price we can afford to pay. I believe in you; and I believe that this movement in the state of North Dakota is going to solve the problem. IOWANS SEE HOPE IN LEAGUE MOVEMENT IEditor Nonpartisan Leader: Dunkerton, Iowa, March 31, 1917. 1 inclose a clipping from an Iowa farmer published in the “Jottings from the Farmers” of the Orange Judd Farmer. You will see he is awaké to the Nonpartisan movement and complains of the extravagance of our Iowa government. Our Towa expenses are frightful and constantly getting worse. We are being taxed to death without seeing any particular good from it. I am sure our Agricultural college needs some house-cleaning. The “better farming” propaganda is becoming burdensome. We give thousands #f dollars to county agents when the money would do us more good used for’ home equipment. I shall rejoice to see the day that the Nonpartisan movement reaches 1 believe it would meet this state. a warm reception in this locality. I would help it in any way I am able. Glad to learn the editor of the Leader is reaching out to obtain in- formation from the whole United States. I am sure that those in con- trol of the United States have not been fair with the nation’s best people— the laboring class. swept away. I believe.that this move will sweep the nation and when it does a lot of federal corruption as well as state corruption will be Maybe it is too much to hope for so soon, but, I hope to see the Nonpartisans gain the federal government by the next four years. I hope to see the West and Middle West have a good, western man for its presi- dential candidate—a man like some of our great senators or perhaps Lynn J. Frazier. ‘We have had enoug’.l of Wall Street's presidential timber. Be it Democratic or Republican one is exactly like the other, and plays politics for the benefit of the people’s oppressors. May success be with you. —MRS. AUGUST BAUMGARTEN. THEY IGNORE JERRY (Editorial in Bottineau (N.D.) Courant) Jerry Bacon is reaching out for new fields to conquer. According to Minne- apolis newspapers, he was in that city recently endeavoring to impress upon the chamber of commerce the impor- tance of killing off the Nonpartisan League before it gains the foothold in Minnesota that it already has in North Dakota. Poor Jerry! ignored in his own city and state, he endeavors to horn into Minnesota politics—only to be laughed at for his pains. HOW THEY STICK (Editorial in Bottineau (N. D.) Courant) Again the cry is abroad in the land that the Nonpartisan League is “going to pieces.” The same cry was heralded the length and breadth' of the state a year ago, following the big convention in Fargo. 'But the little old League managed to worry through it and was quite a considerable factor in the sub- sequent election. And those who are taking up the cry again at this time are the same fellows—in the hopes that Discredited and | their insistent shouting may stampede the-Leaguers. But you never saw a more persistent lot of ‘stickers.” CANADA WATCHES LEAGUE Dstevan, Sask., March 22, 1917, Editor Nonpartisan Leader: We all watched with keen interest the Nonpartisan work in North Da- kota, but Pearson’s was shut out of the mails here as soon as they started to show up the elevator graft. It was not safe news for the rubes to learn. ‘Wishing you more success. —M. P. SULLIVAN. BANKERS FIGHT THE LEAGUE Hillsboro, N. D., March 22, 1917. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Inclosed you will find “A Socialist Constitution” as per request in the Leader. It may be nothing new for you to hear that this came from the First National Bank of Hillsboro, but T'll repeat it. It was addressed to my father.
