Townley of the National Nonpartisan The Public Be Damned Ask your local exhibitor for this production — A The Co-operative Wholesale Society of America a national marketing and buying proposition, is to the American co-operators the same as the English and Scottish Wholesale Societies are. to the European co- operators, a co-operative service corporation owned and controlled by co-oper- ators. We are at this time supplying in car loads, potatoes direct from the growers to the co-operators in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dalkota, Kansas and Montana. We handle flour, feed and coal in car loads, also lumber direct from the co-operatively owned lumber mills in Washington and apples direct from the growers in Idaho, Washington, Montana and Minnesota. We pool our buying power of general merchandise with twenty co-operative whole- sale houses representing over 8000 retail merchants and contract for _entire factory output which saves to the co-operators all middlemen's - duplicating profits and enormous selling expenses less the actual expense of their own institutions. Fellow co-operators, it will be to your own interest to look us up. This is a service proposition and if you want to be served in a co-operative way, write, call or send a committee to investigate.

Irish, and many from .‘“back east”; but all of them look, act, talk and feel just like; other people—our South Carolina peo-: ple, for instance. Lol - All of them - are Americans, as much so as the same number of representative people in South Carolina, and the editor of The En- quirer did not hear one bit more complaint about the war than he would hear among our own people, and that is very little. : These people did not seem to be so much concerned about the price of wheat as they were about the price of flour, It is true that they do not like the idea of the government fixing a maximum price for their wheat, with- out fixing a maximum price for other commodities. They can give you facts and figures to show that they have hardly realized the cost of production on their wheat and that they can not afford- to raise more wheat at the present maximum price. Their com- plaint is that since the government has fixed the price of wheat at $2.20 a bushel, and has failed to fix the price of flour, the millers, who formerly got about 80 cents a barrel for manufac- turing the wheat into flour, are now getting about $4.30 a barrel, and the people who raise their wheat have to buy the flour just like the people over here who do not raise any wheat. WHY. THE INTERESTS FIGHT THE LEAGUE After getting an insight into the actual facts the editor of The Enquirer was less puzzled at the current in- sinuations that that portion of the press which is representatiye of the vested interests are making against the members of the Nonpartisan league. Already the League has_elected Lynn J. Frazier as governor and John M. Baer to congress, and it has govern- ors, senators and representatives ga- lore on the anxious seat. All the old time leaders who are feeling the slip- ping of their grips, are deliberately trying to slur the loyalty of the lead- ers of the Leaguers and that is the source of the misrepresentation in the great territory beyond -the bounds of the League's rapidly spreading strength. Among the things the Nonpartisan league stands for in Ncrth Dakota, is state control of terminal facilities for wheat and other products. The termi- nals here, as elsewhere, are now controlled by and for the interests of Big Business and the Nonpartisan league wants them controlled in the interest of the people generally. The president- of the Nonpartisan league is A. C. Townley of St. Paul, a man of large affairs, thoroughly ac- quainted with all the methods of Big Business, just about such a speaker as Ben Tillman was twenty-five years ago and a most capable leader. Among’ the speakers on the pro- gram were: Joseph Gilbert, man- agér of the Nantional Nonpartisan league; Hon. V. R. Irvin, mayor of St. Paul; Governor Lynn J. Frazier of North Dakota; ' A. C. Townley; Con- gressman John M. Baer of North Da- kota; Senator A. J. Gronna of North Dakota; Congressman Geo. M. Young of North Dakota; Miss Mabel Vernon; Dr. E. F. Ladd, president North Dakota, “Agricultural college; Hon. John L. Mc- Laurin; Senator - Wm. "E. Borah of Idaho; Congresswoman Jeanette Rankin; Senator Robert LaFollette of ‘Wisconsin. Attempt to Stop League Work (Continued from page 11) the sheriff had received any such orders. He added that he would protect the Nonpartisan league “so long as its speakers refrained from ‘sedition.” . Governor Burnquist was told in reply that . nothing about the League pertained to sedition; that the League ‘is loyally supporting the government of the United States in every step to make this a war. for world-wide liberty and- democracy. “Men who fear our growing power seek to discredit us by the dissemina- tion of false information,” said Man- ager Gilbert of the League to the gov- ernor. “The Nonpartisan league is loyal and Northwestern farmers who com- pose its membership are wholly patrio- tic. We want you to meet a delegation of Minnesota farmers who will explain their attitude and the program of the League and convince you this accusa- tion of disloyalty is without founda- tion.” Burnquist agreed to meet the dele- gation October 10, Despite the illegal threats of violence and lawlessness, the Fergus Falls meeting “will be held as scheduled, as will all other meetings scheduled in Minnesota, according to announcement by the League.
