They Fight Progress Editor Nonpartisan ILeader: I have a clipping before me taken from the Minneapolis Jpurnal which induces me to agein take up the pen in defense of our splendid organiza- tion, the Nonpartisan League. This clipping states that representatives from some of the counties met at Grand Forks last week and formed an anti-Socialist union to combat the League work, charges that the League has carried its program too far and that North Dakota was being made an experiment station for the worl:iné out of the visionary theories of Socialism, also charging'P;esident Townley and Governor: Frazier with repudiating pre-election pledges. I want to ask every farmer of Towner county to note in particular the names of the organizers and the executive committee chosen. They are as follows: Senator Nick Nelson; Fred Cuthbert, - Devils Lake; Senator John E. Paulson, Hillsboro; Sidney Adams, Lisbon; H. W. Greene, Leal; Theo. Xoffel, Bismarck; J. E. Gray, Srafton; Senator J. A. Englund, XKenmare; Andrew H. Oksendahl, Rugby. The clipping also charged double dealings and the speakers were B. F. Spalding, Fargo; A. G. Divet, Fargo; T. R. Bangs, Grand Forks; John Paulson, Treadwell Twichell; L. S. Cuthbert of Devils Lake; J. F. T. O’Connor, Grand Forks; O. J. Sorley, Buxton; Frank Robeson, Cando. ‘We do not wish to cast any reflec- tion upon the characters of these men, neither do I deny their right to organ- ize, but we have a right to question the motive which prompted the action. If the intent is to disrupt the League by humiliating members or persuading men from joining or subscribing or in anyway endeavoring to block its prog- ress, then it ought to be condemned. No honest thinking man objects to honest debate and will always welcome any information on_public questions providing its motive is to bring out that which is highest and best and for the good of all concerned. I fail to see the patriotic spirit. Some of these men have gone to these farmers asking for their votes for important positions in our governuental affairs. It se>ms to me it would add more to their dignity to lend their influence (if they dare not subscribe) to. the -promotion of its cause than it would to combat it. _ Farmers of Towner county, don’t al- low yourselves to be deceived. Stick for your rights if you die in the fight. Our great president is calling for pa- triotism. The foundation of our re- public is trembling. He is mobilizing the army. He will also mobilize the —agricultural products. Let us wait. ‘Will he intrust that task to the great organized forces of agriculture, whose + ideals are lofty and purpose unparal- leled or will he intrust it to a group of men organized to combat its plans and purposes? The Nonpartisan League will do its best to systemize and unify its vari- ous forces for continuous constructive action, which ought to commend itself to any rational thinking man. They may call it “Socialism’ if they like. I call it “progressiveism” and if we stick in time, when we reach the consumr mation of our plans and purposes, we will leave for future generations®a heritage that will mean more to them than the $8 per year means to us. It seems too much like treason and un- wise history. R. P. MYERS. Its Meaning— Justice Alden, N. D. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: As I read your invitation in “The Meaning of the Movement”, in the Leader, it set me thinking. Justice! when on one hand million- gires are popping up, and on the other working people (including women and children) are crying for bread, there must be something wrong somewhere “and we know of no other or better way to remedy. "I am a farmer and don’t expect to be anything else, but if the League had been started and was maintained for the single purpose of getting higher prices for the farm products I would not think so much of it. Suppose then that the League should grow very strong and still use all its power to get higher prices for the farmer no matter what it would cost ' the consumer. We would not then be any better toan the oppresscrs of the ¢ y 8 Lvsoparmsny s s AR e ADVERTISEMENTS Former United States Senator Mason, Pioneer in Pure Food and Drugs Legislation, Father of Rural Free Delivery System Says Nuxa Increased His Power and Endurance s0 Much, That He Feels It Ought to Be Made Known to Every Nervous, Run-down, Anaemic, Man, Woman, and Child. .

GENTLEMEN: I have often said I would never cine of any kind. cannot describe. Senator Mason’s statement in regard to Nuxated Iron was shown to several physicians. who were requested to give their opinions thereon. Dr. Howard James, late of The Man- hattan State Hospitaliof New York and formerly Assistant Physician Brooklyn State Hospital, said: ‘‘Senator Mason is to be commended on handing out this statement on Nuxated Iron for public print. There are thousands of men and women who need a strength and blood- « Dbuilder but do not know what to take. There is nothing like organic iron—Nux- ated Iron—to give increased strength, snap, vigor, and staying power. It en- riches the blood, brings roses to the cheeks of women and is an unfailing source of renewed vitality, endurance and power for men who burn up too rapidly their nervous energy in the strenuous strain of the great business competition of the day.” Former Health Commissioner Wm. R. * Kerr, of the City of Chicago, says: ‘I have taken Nuxated Iron myself and ex- perienced its health-giving and strength- building effect, and in the interest of public welfare I feel it my duty to make known- the results of its use. I am well past my: threescore years, and want to say that I believe my own great physical activity is largely due to-day to my per- sonal use of Nuxated Iron. From my own experience with Nuxated Iron I feel it such a valuable remedy that it ought to be used in every hospital and pre- scribed by every physician in the coun- ' Dr. E. Sauer, a Boston physician who has studied abroad in great European medieal institutions, said: ‘‘Senator Mason is right. As I have said a hun- dred times over, organic iron is the greatest of all strength builders. ‘‘Not long ago a man came to me who was nearly a half a century old and asked me to give him a preliminary exami- nation for life insurance. I was as- tonished to find him with the blood pressure of a boy of twenty and as I believe that the doctor’s place. However, after the hardest political campaign of my life, without a chance for a vacation, I had been starting to court every morning with that horrible tired feeling one I was advised to try Nuxated Iron. As a pioneer in the food and drug legislatian, I was at first loath to try an‘advertised remedy, but after ad- vising with my medical friends, I gave it a test. The re- sults have been so beneficial in my own case, I made up my mind to let my friends know about it, and you are at liberty to publish this statement if you so desire. 1 now 65 years of age and I feel that a remedy which will build up the strength and increase the power of endur- ance of one at my age should be known to the world. Yours very truly, WM recommend medi- I am full of vigor, vim, and vitality as a Young man; in fact a young man he really was, notwithstanding his age. The secret, he said, was taking organic iron—Nuxated Iron had _filled him with renewed life. At thirty he was in bad health; at forty-six he was care-worn and nearly all in. Now at fifty, after taking Nuxated Irom, a miracle of vitality and his face beam- ing with the bouyancy of youth. Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change your food into living ‘tissue. Without it, no matter how much or what you eat, your food mere- ly passes through you without deing you any good. You don’t get the strength out of it, and as a consequence Yyou become weak, pale and sickly look- ing, just like a.plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in iron.” . Dr. Schuyler C. Jaques, _Visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, New York City, said: “I have never be- fore given out any medical information or advice for publication, as I ordinarily do not believe in it. But in the case of Nuxated Iron I feel I would be remiss in my duty not to mention it. I have taken it myself and given it it my patients with most surprising and satisfactory results. And those who wish quickly to increase their strength, power and endurance will find it a most remarkable and wonder- fully effective remedy.” NOTE—Nuxated Iron, which was used by Senator Mason with such surprising results and which is prescribed and rec- commended above by physicians in such a great varitey of cases, is not a patent medicine nor secret remedy, but one which is well known to druggists, and whose _iron constituents are widely pre- scribed by eminent physicians both in Europe and America. Unlike the older inorganic iron products it is easil¥ as- similated, does not injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach; on the contrary, it is &bmost, potent remedy in nearly all forms®of indigestion ted Iron ———eeon— — —_—_—_——,—————— From the Congressional Directory published by the United States Gov- ernment-—‘“Wm. E.. Mason, Senator from Illinois, was elected to the b60th Congress in 1887, to the 5ist Congress in 1891—defeated. for the 52nd Congress 1892—Elected Senator to the 55th Congress 1897 to 1903.” Senator Mason is now Congress- man from the State of Illinois. Senator Mason’ s championship of Pure Food and Drugs legislation, his fight for the free rural delivery sys- tem, and his strong advocacy of all bills favoring labor and the rights of the masses against trusts and com- bines make him a national figure at Washington and endeared him to the hearts of the working man and the great masses of people throughout the United States. Senator Mason has the distinction of being one of the really big men of the nation. His strong endorsement of Nuxated Iron must convince any intelligent think- ing reader that it must be a prepara- tion of very great merit and one which the Senator feels is bound -to be of great value to the masses of people . everywhere, otherwise he could not afford to lend his name to it especially after his strong advocacy of pure food and drugs legislation. e ——————————————__ as well as for mervous, run-down con- ditions. The manufacturers have such great confidence in Nuxated Iron that they offer to forfeit $100.00 to any char- itable institution if, they cannot take any man or woman under sixty who lacks iron, and increase their strength 100 per cent or over in four weeks’ time, provided they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money if it does not at least double your sirength and endurance in ten days’ time. It is dispensed in your city by all good druggists. SPECIAL TO PHYSICIAN e Doctor, when you wish to prescribe a true tonic ® and blood builder, one that puts the real ‘‘stay there’’ strength and youthful vigor into the blood and nerves, try Nuxated Iron. ~If you have been using' the old forms of metallic iron, without success; if you have had patients e¢omplain of dis- colored teeth, upset stomachs, hardened, tied-up secretions, ete., from the use of metallic iron, again we suggest, try Nuxated Iron. Nuxzated Iron will be furnished by any druggist on an absolute guaran- “tee of success or money refunded. It is highly endorsed by such physicians as Dr. Schuyler C. 7 Jaques, Visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, New York City; Dr. Howard James, late of The Manhattan State Hospital of New York and formerly Assistant Physician . Brooklyn State Hospital; Dr. A. J. Newman, formerly Police Surgeon of the City of Chicago, formerly House Sur- geon of the Jefferson Park Hospital, Chicago; Dr. Ferdinand King, New York Physician and Medical Author, and others. In most eases ph times per day after meals. ysicians direct the use of two five-grain tablets three - people that we are trying to work against. Tiae anly difference would be that a farmer has to produce his crop while the speculator does not and that difference is not sc small after all. But that is not what the League wants. It wants to be a benefit to the producer and consumer alike'. It is the speculator, get-rich-quick, easy money grabber-oppressor of the common peo- ple we want to check. If I bought a farm today for $2000 and sold it tomorrow for $4000--not doing any improvement on it—it might be all right to say that I “made” $2000 but it sure would not be right to say SEVENTEEN. / that I ‘““earned” or deserved that $2000. Some other fellow would have to sweat and work hard maybe for years to produce that $2000 that cost me nothing. It would not be'right. ¢ Keep on hammering. It sure sounds good. HENRY E. JOHNSON.
