Hellman Mention Leader when writing advertisers | Grange Master Boosts League In Idaho, just as in North Dakota and other states, old gang newspapers seek to discredit the farmers’ move- ment by misrepresentations. But the farmers of Idaho are not taking mis- representations calmly. This letter was written by the head of the state grange and shows how the farmers of the Gem state feel: Editor Nampa Record.—In your is- sue of the Record of August 9, you make reference to the Nonpartisan league and its work in Tdaho. Es- pecially have you referred to Mr. McKaig as “a smooth plausible arti- cle” in the political field, etc. I am convinced that you have not been informed of the workings of the Nonpartisan league, or of the position of Mr. McKaig or you would not have made the reference as you did. The League is strictly an or- ganization of farmers, now national in character, with headquarters in St. Paul, and is either organized or being organized in twelve of the western and northwestern states with several more asking to come into the organization. Mr. McKaig has been the secretary of the North Dakota League and was one of the leaders in the great up- heaval in that' state during the last twenty months. He is now a na- tional organizet and has been sent here for a few weeks to assist the Idaho farmers in the work -of their organization. He will return to his home in Dakota the early part of Sep- tember. and has no particular part in the work of the League in Idaho. The League has as a single purpose the “taking of the government out of the hands of special privilege, and restor- ing it-to the people.” 3 IT IS FARMERS’ OWN MOVEMENT The farmers of Idaho who have largely, by their hard work, zeal and privations been the wealth makers of the state, and who have had the least consideration in the way of better laws and the curbing of the speculators in farm products, and who have usually been the ones to take what others are willing to give, and to give what others ask, feel that the burden of better con- ditions rests upon them, and it will not be brought about except they lead in it. The Nonpartisan league does not seek to destroy any political party or even to mix itself up in political parties, but rather to lay aside parti-: sanship:'long enough to see that good men are elected to office, who will have, the welfare of the largest number of people at heart, rather than the welfare of the office holder and his henchmen. only. =~ Our ultimate aim is, that the state: shall own and control the warehouses, cold storage plants, elevators and pack- ing plants, which are a positive neces- sity in the conserving and distribution of food stuffs; and be the medium of distribution of these for the feeding of the world. This is the only method that has been discovered by which the food gamblers, speculators, and thiev- ing middlemen can be put entirely out of business and markets can be had wherein we can place the products of our farms at prices that will pay us to grow them and at prices that the con- sumer can afford to pay to get them. NINE OUT OF TEN ARE JOINING . The farmers have framed up a few rules for the men who are to be our representatives in the administration . of government and in legislation. (1) Habitual or professional office seekers must not have office. : % (2) In all cases the office must seek the man and not the man the office. (3) Officials of the Nonpartisan League can not be candidates for of- fice. ' (4) The man selected for office shall not be expected to pay into any cam- paign fund. The League itself pays all expenses and looks after the cam- paign of the men it selects as its repre- sentatives. The work of organizing in Idaho is going on rapidly and very satisfactor- ily. Some entire_communties have en- rolled to the, last man, and in all as far as our organizers have gone, better than nine out of every ten farmers-have become active in this work. The Grange, the Equity and Farm- ers’ Union as well as farmers of no organization are active in the League and all feel it the move we have been striving for, for at least a half cen- tury. ‘Yours very truly, W. W.

Running water upstairs and downstairs You talk about the scarcity of good farm labor. Consider this: electricity will turn the grindstone, the cream separator and the churn, without a pause for dinner or a stop for sleep. It will clean the house, wash and iron the clothes, wash the dishes, cool the home, and do a score of other irksome household tasks. It’s better than the best hired help you ever had! The constant speed of the electric motor means better separation of the cream, And you can get electricity easily. You can buy a Western Electric plant and use your own gas engine to run it. It's as easy to take care of as the Western Electric farm telephone in your home. Back of it is 40 years of electrical experience, a national dis- tributing organization with stocks in 35 cities, and an agent in your territory. When you buy a Western Electric Plant you can get Western Electric lamps, motors, pump, cream separa- tor, iron, washing machine, vacuum cleaner—in fact, almost every kind of electrical appliance built especially for this service.
