Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Your cartoon in last week’s Leader, “Biting the Hand that Feeds Him,” puts me in mind of a story: Two men were canvassing the coun- try selling bull dog pups. One was selling Republican pups and the other Democratic pups. Two months later these same men were canvassing the same territory again but they were selling Nonpartisan pups. They were asked how it came that the pups had changed their politics, and they said that they HAD THEIR EYES OPEN NOW. I have been a member of the League since it started and I think you have opened the eyes of a good many peo- ple. I hope you will go on publishing articles and sending them to all the League readers in the different states and throughout the United States to open the people’s eyes in this crisis of war, HENRY A. HURDELBRINK. A DIFFERENT SPEECH North Dakota.~ Editor Nonpartisan Leader: " On July 4 about 500 people gathered in our little city to hear Mr. A. E. Bowen., Before the speech Mr. Bowen put the question whether h& should give the ordinary patriotic address that has been given on the fourth of July for the last 140 years or give a strong Nonpartisan speech. The people decided in favor of the Nonpartisan speech. Mr. Bowen showed us clearly that we are a free people in name only, He . discussed President Townley’s so-call- ed “treasonable uterances,” proved conclusivefy that they were in reality the words of a patriot, and he praised the Grand Forks Herald for the good work it was doing for Baer by cam- paigning against him, (MISS) NELLIE LAMPKIN LADD FOE OF GRAFT By their own testi.nony, the board of regents admit that they contemplate or, at least, have under consideration, the removal of E. F. Liadd from the presidency of the agricultural college, offering as a reason that Dr. Ladd “has too much work to look after” 1In a recent issue of the Fargo Courier- News charges were made that the board of regents already has a man selected for Ladd’'s successor and that he is now in the state, awaiting the contemplated vacancy. It has been known for a long time that Dr. Ladd’'s activity in exposing graft and robbery has been frowned upon by the board and that his ejection from his position was very much desired. But appar- ently the board lacks the nerve to bring it about. — BOTTINEAU (N. D.) COURANT. s BIG MINNESOTA PICNIC ‘The farmers’ picnic given st Eagle Bend last week, Wednesday, by the Nonpartisan league brought out one of the largest crowds that ever as- sembled on a like occasion in this county. It is estimated that .there were between 4,000 and 5,000 people on the grounds when the speaking started. Governor Prazier covld not be there on account of a misunder- standing in dates. However President Townley and Mr. Bowen the two other speakers amply made up for his failure to be present. The remarks were well received by the large crowd and many of their remarks received thunderous applause. It was a red letter day for the League in Todd count;—CLARISSA (Xinn.) INDE- PENDENT. ’ NO WONDER Herbert C. Hoover tells congress the’ food hogs have robbed the public of $250,000,000 in five months. INo wonder we grunt! —ERSKINE (Minn:) ECHO. A What the Leader’s Readers Say LIKES TOWNLEY’S COURAGE North Editor Nonpartisan Leader: As for conscription of wealth, I can see no reason why those who profit by war should not pay for the war. It is refreshing to note a man like Town- ley who has the courage of his convic- tions and dares to face the charge of “traitor” without flinching. E. C. BIERBAUM. SUCCESSFUL MEETING Finley, N. D, Editor Nonpartisan Leader: On Tuesday, July 3, A. C. Townley and A. E. Bowen addressed an audi- ence of farmers and business men in Finley. The farmers are very enthusiastic about the League’s progress and the congressional election, as was seen by the discussions that occurred after the meeting. Dakota. GILBERT A. ENGEN. WHY NOT? We notice that some of our ex- changes are running the ‘“free stuff” sent out in plate form, express paid, against putting the "taxes so high against the rich. If men are con- scripted, why not the wealth.—ADAMS (N. D.) STANDARD. MORE TREASON Congressman P. D. Norton remarkss “If just provisions for the taxation of large incomes and of excess war prof- its are made there will be no need at this stage of the war for taxes on tea coffee, sugar and other necessities of the poorer classes of our population.” The Congressman had better form himself into a hollow square, to wait the charge of the Home Guards that is coming to him after such <n utter- ance. The idea of taxing incomes and profits! Treason, sedition, anarchy! The common people, whom God loved because he made so many of them, were made—as everybody knows— with broad backs and patient souls to carry the burdens that the privileged classes place upon them.—PERI- SCOPE, Fargo, N. D. ELEVATOR MANAGERS MEET The midsummer meeting of the Di- rectors and Managers association of Farmers Elevators will be held in Far- go, N. D, during the interstate fair from July 24 to 26 inclusive. The con- vention will discuss bookkeeping methods for farmers’ elevators with a view to finding a unified method that can be adopted generally, It is said there are 50 different systems of book- keeping in use in the farmers’ eleva- tors now, none of which is wholly sat- isfactory. Plans for extending the in- fluence of the organized elevators with a view to getting better prices for the farmers, will be taken up. The meeting will be open to all man- agers and directors of farm organiza- tions in the entire Northwest, and all are requested to attend, / A MINNESOTA MEETING On account of the heavy rain of the evening previous and the ovérhanging clouds during the morning hours, but few cars were in New Ulm until late during the morning. By noon there were hundreds of farmers in New Ulm. Farmers were here from Nicollet, Blue Earth, Watonwan, Redwood, Sibley, Cottonwood and Renville counties. One car, a Ford, was seen with a Murray county banner upon it. Although the roads, with the exception of state graveled roads, were in bad shape Fri- day morning, it is estimated that at least 3,500 people came to New Ulm te hear the speakers discuss the' merits of the National Nonpartisan league. Had the weather conditions been favorable, there is n® doubt, but that ‘the crowd would have been at least double in size. —BROWN | COUNTY JOURNAL, New Ulm, Minn.
