Mention Leader when writing advertisers Let the Plain Facts Speak Charge that Great Conference Was Organized to Fight the Government Disproved By List of Speakers NEMIES of the organized farmers and city workers have striven, since the great Producers’ and Consumers’ convention at St. Paul, to make it appear that the program was “framed” to oppose the government. The Leader herewith presents the com- plete list of speakers during the three days of the meeting, arranged in al- phabetical order, so that readers can Judge for themselves. Let the facts be known!

RESOLUTIONS WERE VOICE OF DELEGATES Of the 37 speakers, three represented various branches of the administration of President Wilson, Mr. Colver of the federal trade commission being a per- sonal appointee of the president. Judge Torrance, who spoke in behalf of the Liberty bond issue, came as the result of a personal invitation issued by the League to Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo. The department of agriculture sent Mr. Wheeler. The food administration was invited to send a representative but did not do so, Mr. Hoover remaining at Washington while Julius Barnes met a delegation of grain brokers at Chicago. The speakers were selected because of their familiarity with the questions’ before the convention. Of those whose political affiliations are known to the Leader, Republicans and Democrats predominate, with one former Progres- sive and one Socialist. The patriotism and good judgment of ONE of the 37 speakers has been called into question by enemies of the farmers. But the statements consider- mayor of ed unpatriotic were not repeated by! any of the other 36 speakers and were not included in the resolutions adopted by the conference. These resolutions are the voice of the convention. They constitute its only action. No enemy of the League has been able to attack them yet. No newspaper enemy has dared to print their full text, but they completely disprove the charges made by these lying unscrupulous papers. UNION LABOR’S SUPPORT Local union Mo. 458 of the North- western Cooks’ ussociation, one of the big labor unions of Minneapolis has passed resolutions commending the Patriotic Producers’ and Consumers’ Conference held in St. Paul recently under the auspices of the Nonpartisan league. The resolutions, which follow, also pledge the cooks to work in har- mony with the League to. obtain “political and industrial freedom.” “Whereas, the National Nonpartisan league at the Producers’ and Con- sumers’ conference held in St. Paul September 18, 19 and 20, 1917, defined the purposes and intent of its plat- form to be the attainment of political and industrial freedom to the working classes, and “Whereas, organized labor seeks to attain the principles set forth by the National Nonpartisan league, be it “Resolved that the Northwestern Cooks’ association, local No. 458, in- dorse the National Nonpartisan league and work in harmony to attain polit- ical and industrial freedom for all.” Nebraska is Boosting (From the Lincoln, Neb., Herald) There was a rousing interstate mass meeting at St. Paul this week of the Nonpartisan league, of farmers and city workers. The producers at that great mass convention resolved to calmly acquiesce in the control com- mission’s wheat regulation and to de- mand that price fixing extend to all other commodities, The convention also went on record for the conscrip- tion of wealth and excessive war prof- its to defray war expenses. The big meeting of Leaguers and producers was very harmonious and enthusiastic from start to finish and the attendance mounted well up to the 6,000 mark. Governor Frazier of North Dakota was made chairman of the convention and he stated that it was not a protest meeting but a get together meeting for the betterment of affairs of the masses. President Townley said the farmers and workers have no desire to criticlse the intentions of the heads of the gov- ernment and he blamed the farmers and workers for not reinforcing the good Intentions of those who are trying to curb Justice to the common people. The workers are the real patriots. They have by their labor been providing the necessaries of life and of war to feed the nations and supply the armies of fiberty, at a meagre wage and without profit, while the profiteers and big the war profiteers and do, business have been bulging their cof- fers with gold and shouting patriotism. S. D. Ream, master of the Nebraska state grange and C. H. Gustafson, president of the Nebraska Farmers union both assured the convention that the farmers of this state will stand heartily back of any plan to fix prices of all other commodities as has been done with wheat. It was indeed a great get together meeting and sowed a power of good seed. WEALTH AND LIFE ‘Wealth is not as sacred as human ltves. When our young men can be drafted for the service of our country, there is ‘no valid reason why the wealth of the country should not meet with the same draft—and many rea- sons why 1t should be subject even be- fore the flower of young manhood.— TWIN VALLEY (N. D.) POST. LET'S KNOW THE COSTS Bismarck, Aug. 4, 1917. Bditor Nonpartisan Leader: Congratulations upon the excellence of your article on farmers’ costs. I know of no surer way to make the farmers “stick” until the day of vic- tory than to show them how, to what extent, and by whom, they are robbed. Eeep up the good work. HENRY P. RICHHARDSON.
