Mention Leader when writing advertisers | Town Rowdies Give Trouble Minnesota Paper Reports Effort at Boyd to Inter- fere With League Meeting HILE the business men of small towns in Minnesota, as a rule, know that their pros- perity depends upon the farmers and stand ready to co-operate with them in welcoming League meetings, there was an excep- tion at Boyd, Minn.,, the other day. Business men of that town organized their clerks in an attempt to break up a Nonpartisan league meeting, but the farmers put them to rout. The farm- ers sent a delegation to the local editor, who was charged with having planned the disturbances, but the editor, took refuge behind his wife’s skirts. The Montevideo (Minn.) Daily Amer- ican gives the following account of the occurence: “There was a rousing Farmers’ Non- partisan league meeting at Boyd Fri- day that brought in farmers from all directions and from long distances in such numbers as evidently to cause some disturbance among some of the business men. After the speak- er had shown with facts and fig- ures how the trusts, food gamblers and big business in general were robbing both the people and govern- ment of millions of dollars' and con- gress seemed to be indifferent, he explained the cause, the purpose and the need of the Nonpartisan league among farmers and how this farm- ers’ movement could and would re- move these robberies and take the control of government out of the hands of the millionaire sharks and | restore it to the people. STIRS THE WRATH OF FEW CRANKS “These plain facts seemed to stir the wrath of two or three so-called busi- ness men, tools of food gamblers, who had been hovering in the rear, for after the meeting had adjourned and the farmers were joining the organization and visiting among themselves, a handful of ‘patriots’ (?) consisting of clerks, pressed into services by their masters, no doubt, entered the hall and attempted to tell the speaker that his talk had been unpatriotic. “The same old story, criticise the men that are robbing us and you are unpatriotic and must be suppressed. But this was one time when the gag did not work for it did not take the speaker long to tell those crumbs that while he was of Scandinavian parent- age, he was an American born citizen and that while he would honor and protect the flag at all times, he re- tained the right and privilege to criti- cise men and methods and particularly a congress that had ignored the de- mands of the people as it recently had on the liquor question, and were delay- ing action on the food question while the gamblers were making more mil- lions and millions of people were going hungry. ACTION OF FEW HAS HURT TOWN “Farmers are often accused of being slow to act, but they were not slow to line up in this instance, with a deter- mination that caused those hirelings of big business to vanish like mist in the morning sun. In five minutes time that burg gave the appearance of a western town when a bunch of cow boys cut loose. But those farmers were not satisfied with their mere disap- pearance, they wanted to ask them a few questions and when it was report- ed that the editor of the local. paper was one of the instigators of the plot, they immediately formed in line and marched to his residence on the out- skirts of the town to demand an ex- planation. But evidently the sight of those fifty farmers lined up in the street was too much for him for he refused to appear and sent his wife to the door, thus taking refuge behind skirts, the tactics of a coward, and a sure-indication of guilt. ‘“While we do-not think the business men of Boyd, as a whole, would up- hold such methods, the action of those few, is a fair indication of the attitude of business toward farmers and in this instance will cost the town thousands of dollars of business, for the farmers have reached the point where they will not continue longer to feed the mouth that bites them.” You Bet They “Stuck” Figures From a Few Precinets, Showing How the League Members Voted July 10 J ETURNS from individual pre- cinets in the First congres- sional district of North Dako- ta on the election of July 10 make it more plain than ever that faymers were not led astray from their purpose—to elect a representa- tive of their own—by the conflicting claims of either nationality, religion or politics. Here is a letter that shows how the - farmers stuck: Homen, N, D. Editor Nonpartisan I der: There were 69 votes cast in Hope township, Cavalier county, 67 for Baer ahd 2 for Burtness. Sixty-five of these were countrymen of Mr. Burt- ness. That does not show that Nor- wegians stick to nationality when they think others are better. Five Demo- crats voted, but Mr. Bangs did not get a vote. Every legal voter in the township voted except four. JOHN ROGSTAD. Here is another letter which tells its own story: Peterburg, N. D. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: At the elction held in Adler voting precinct (Nelson county) §9 votes were cast for member of congress, which were as follows: John M. Baer, 52; Olger Burtness, 3; George Bangs, 2. Two ballots were not counted— had been voted for more than one. C. I. MORKRID. This also tells “how they stuck”: Lankin, N. D. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Norton precinct of Walsh gives ‘Baer 43 votes, Burtness 3, the others none. This looks like the mem- bers were sticking O. K. H. J. AXTELL W. H. Brummell sends in the vote of county Cypress township, = Cavalier county, which was: Baer, 16; Burtness, 1; Bangs, 1. In contrast with this ex- pression from the farmers he notes the vote in Sorles village: Baer, 9; Burtness, 16; Bangs, 6 Some of the other good precmcts scattered through the First district and the votes they gave were: Williams, Nelson county—Baer, 36; Burtness, 0; Bangs, 0; Aaker, 1, Denver, Sargent county—Baer, 41; Burtness, 2; Bangs, 0.

"HIS HANDICAP Handicapped by the support of such recognized gang leaders as J rry Ba- con, Jim Shea, Judge Young and others, Burtness was running under a disad- vantage. Despite the efforts to make it appear tkat the Nonpartisans were flocking to Burtness and thus stam- peeding the fa mer vote, it is very plain from the results of the election that the farmers “stuck” as never be- fore. One gratifying feature of the elec- tion was the splendid vote accorded Baer in the cities and former stalwart strongholds. He carried the city of Fargo and Cass county by handsome majorities. He also carried Richland and Ransom counties, both former stalwart counties. Tuesday's election proves conclusively that the League is stronger than ever, and .in the very section of the state where it has been ‘claimed it was losing out.—BOTTI- NEAU (N. D.) COURANT.
