Leimbacher, Mgr. | Mention Leader when writing advertisers From Coast to Coast Portland, Maine, and Portland, Oregon, Both Know About Farmers’ Movement Now. A year ago the Nonpartisan league was little more than a North Dakota proposition. It was just starting to make its first efforts out- side of the borders of the state where it had its origin. ; In contrast with the situation of a-year ago the Leader reproduces: herewith portions of two ‘articles which appeared recently, on the same day, in two of the most widely separated papers in the United States: R From the Portland (Maine) Press, of July 15, 1917: Advices from North Dakota since the election of John M. Baer, the in- dependent Leaguer, to congress, are to the effect that this organization iIs not in rebellion apainst the govern- ment of the United States as it was represented to be in some of the stories which were sent out from that state to eastern newspapers previous to the election, The IL.eague was described ‘as an anti-war organization and Mr. Baer as a pro-German sympathizer. Since his .election Mr. Baer, who was a Democrat before he became an inde- pendent League, has given out a state- ment in which he says that he will support the government in all of its policies for an. aggresive prosecution of the war and that he is as patriotic as anyone. Mr. Baer says, ana he ought to know and has no reason to speak otherwise than truthfully, that the Nonpartisan league is strictly a farmers’ organiza- tion formed for the purpose of obtain- ing for the tillers of the soil certain rights which they had found they could not obtain otherwise. Not only has it spread through North Dakota, appac- ently holding the balance of power in that state, but has extended into other states. From the Portland (Oregon) Ore- gonian, of July 15, 1917, Idaho is being organized quietly to the cause of the Farmers' National Nonpartisan league, unknown to a great many leaders of the two domi- nant political parties and others in- terested in political developments in this state. If the Nonpartisan leaguers are successful they will bring ‘into Idaho what is known as the North Da- kota plan, or control of the state gov- ernthent by the farmers. Surprising results have been attain- ed. Farmers' locals and unions have gone over in a body to the new organi- zation. The organizers, led by Ray McKaig, field = secretary of the League, hope to be able to ‘control better than 60 per cent of the voting strength of Idaho. Leaders in the two dominant parties are likely to wake up in the near fu- ture to find that control-of the elec- torate has passed from either their hands or the hands of their party and that an entirely new -organization is prepared to act as pilot for the ship of state. It is not exaggeration Lo say that the League workers have or- ganized ccrefully by precincts over a greater portion of the state and that they are rapidly combining the force of the rural vote, which is a factor politically. The clippings above tell the story of the growth of the League, which, from being a little, one-state organization, is growing to be known and respected from Portland, Maine, the furthermost point on the Atlantic, to Portland, Oregon, the furthermost point.on the Pacific. The clippings evidence two other things. One is an additional exposure of the tactics of the Old Gang newspaper men of North Da- kota in sending out lies about the farmers’ movement to the eastern press, in the belief that they could fool the easterners. The other thing that the clippings show is that now that John M. Baer has been elected to. congress by the farmers he is able to nail these lies and tell the East the truth about the farmers’ movement. ; Olaf Sjodin’s Food Factory (Continued from page 5) food, for that is’ what the farm is, a food factory. I have shown that every man that had anything to do with the chair that Olaf bought had the power to set the price on his own stuff. I have shown that Olaf had no power to name the price of the chair he bought or the food he raised. I have hinted that the reason the chair maker and the chair dealer had the power was because both were members of an or- ganization composed of men like them- selves, engaged in the making of their living by making or handling chairs. ‘What is true of the chair that Olaf bought is true of everything else he buys. And there is yet another con- dition that surrounds the farming in- dustry that robs the farmer and that is the organization of those interests that he is compelled to sell to. FARM FURNISHES ONLY . ~— THE RAW PRODUCTS Let us look at the farm as an in- dustry. Unlike most every other in- dustry, the farm does not complete the process of production. The farmer attempts to feed the world its flour, but stops with the raw wheat at the elevator. He attempts to feed the world its meat products, but stops with the animal at the box car. He attempts to supply the world with eggs, but is compelled to sell when they are 20 cents a dozen, when, if he could store them, he would get 40 cents. ' The reason for all this s that the farm, as now operated, is incomplete in the machinery necessary for the completion of its product. All of the aveénues through which the raw prod- uct of 'the farm- must pass befors it becomes the finished product of food are owned and controlled by those not engaged in farming at all, but have become monopolized and trustified by big corporations.. These corporations in turn have built up strong organiza- tions of every interest that has to do with the marketing of the product of the farm and the farmer 1§ as help- less as a babe in determining the price of the thing that his own capital and labor has produced. Is it asking too much or .anything unreasonable . i when we say that the farmer has ag much right to organize as have thosé with whom he is compelled to do business? If organization is a good thing for every other business, why would or- ganization not be a good thing for your business, Mr. Farmer? . ORGANIZATION ONLY HOPE OF FARMERS Organization has proved to be the keynote of success in every industry where it has been tried. Organized working men in the cities have dem- onstrated the power of. organization. Organized railroad -men compelled recognition of their demands by the " congress of the United States, and whether the farmer sells his product or buys what he consumes, he is obliged to deal with and through some form of organization. ; ‘We conclude, therefore, that what is “sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander,” and the only way whereby the farmer can possibly cope present conditions is to organize the farming industry the same as every other industry 18 organized, and through organization become pos- sessor of the power to set the price on the product of his capital and his own labor. ‘This can be easily done when- ever the farmers themselves want it done. It will never be done until they do it. g AND STILL GROWING- In the First congressional district of North Dakota, which contains the large. cities of Fargo and Grand Forks the ILeague candidate for congress, John M, Baer, got. more votes than all the other candidates. put together, And we haye heard it said that the' League was going to pleces, and that hundreds of farmers were quitting 1t especially in the Red -River Valley where John M. Baer was just elected, Well, you simply can’t believe every- thing you read and sometimes you can’'t put much faith in some of the things you see. At the present writing P . we might say for the benefit of thoge who are undecided in the matter, that the League is three times as strong ag it was two years ago and is still grow- ng. —DUNN COUNYY SETTLER, ng, N, Dy ; PAGE SIXTEEN with ADVERTISEMENTS © DELCO-LIGHT Delco-Light is every man's electrlé Plant and provides electric current for ight and power for anyone anywhere, Electric light—clean, cool, safe—for your- home and your barns.
