June League Meetings Changes in the meeting dates and places as announced in the Le'ader of May 3 have been found necessary, and herewith is printed a revised schedule to meet the demands of local people ‘will be Governor Lynn J. Frazier, President A. C. Townley of the National Nonpartisan League, O. M. Thomason and A. E. Bowen, late chief clerk of the house of representatives. Every League and anti-League man and woman of the state should make some sacrifice to attend these meetings and hear the discussions from those who have been on the firing line for two years in the farm- er’s war for freedom from market tyranny. The meeting at Bowman, June 13, will be a picnic affair, but the others it is expeeted will be held in the largest available halls in the cities referred to. City people will have the League’s pur- poses brought to their very doors, and country people will travel - far to hear these four well known speakers on such topics as the real meaning of House Bill 44, the terminal elevator bill veto, the “secret caucus,’”’ and ‘‘carrying the truth to the people.”’ These The Lost Sheep Argues The speakers at these meetings Dickinson, June 12 Bowman, June 13 Mott, June 14 : Mandan, June 15 Fargo, June 16 you mi tools?

Yoors Trooly, RIP, : OHIO NEEDS LEAGUE Butler, Ohio, April 9, 1917 ‘The success of the Nonpartisan League in North Dakota, in so short- a period, is clearly indicative not only that a strong demand for a change existed, but that the principles for which the League stands were such as merited the support of the majority of the people in that the same were essential to bring justice and economic freedom to the people. The rank and file of producers and consumers of Ohio congratulate North Dakota for the establishing of a precedent which every state will eventually follow. Being thoroughly conversant with the situation in Ohio, I believe I speak the opinion of the majority when I say we have ab- golutely no representation in our state government and absolutely no news medium, or mouth piece through which to speak to a brother in a neigh- ‘While the manipulation in grain grading.and.the-price is not as much.. . a marked specific grievance in Ohio, we are experiencing the effect of a corrupt machine government similar to that formerly experienced in North Dakota if not worse because of the greater population, numerous boards, commissions and institutions in which insidious hirelings have entrenched themselves, wholly under the guise of benevolence and by which they falsely proclaim reasons why they should continue to exist. As a result of a near despotism in Ohio we have witnessed our grand tax duplicate purposely raised to over seven and one-half billion, . our tax raised over one hundred per cent since 1900, notwithstanding the above, and a rank violation of the Smith one per cent law in over two thousand taxing districts, coupled with the fact that practically every municipality faces bankruptcy substantiates the fact that our state gov- ernment must very soon be controlled by astute economists and whose in- terests are in common with the masses of the commonwealth, as ig fundamental principle of the Nonpartisan League. Ohio is a fertile field for a better government, under the constitution, such as is being approved and adopted in the Northwest, we court the essentials, under the above conditions, for success in 1918. - the Feeling, therefore, that E.
