Wisconsin Meetings ‘Wisconsin ILeague members have been turning out in large numbers to & short series of Nonpartisan meetings. Successful meetings were held at De- Forest December 10, Stoughton Decem- ber 11, Edgerton December 12; and other meetings are scheduled for Belleville December 13, Cross Plains December 14 and Mt. Horeb December 15." League members who can possibly do so should attend one of these meet- ings. Other Wisconsin meetings will be held as follows: Corliss, Tuesday, December 18, 2 p. m. Plymouth, Wednesday, December 19, 2 p.m. Symco, Thursday, December 20, 2 p. m. Fall Creek, Saturday, December 22, 2 p. m. Organization work in Wisconsin is progressing rapidly. The League has signed up nearly all the farmers in practically every district visited by or- ganizers. Wisconsin has taken its place beside Minnesota, South Dakota and the other states that are going to i elect League candidates next year. TEXAS IN LINE Golden, Texas. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: John P. Craig of North Dakota made & splendid address to about 90 repre- sentative citizens of the district in the high school auditorium last night. From various expressions that I have heard today the message had a telling effect. I feel sure that evangels of Dolitical liberty who are fresh from North Dakota where the most notable political movement of all times came to fruition last year, will be telling the story in other states and achieve the same remarkable results. If you can send us 50 more like Craig we will sweep all of Texas in 1918. The peo- ple are ripe for a political change. T. H. LAYMAN. OUGHT TO STOP PAPER Raymond, Minn. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: What do you think of the inclosed clipping from the Preston Times, S. A. Langum, editor? (The clipping advises farmers to demand the return of their League membership fee.) It seems to me people ought to quit such a paper, the sooner the better. I have talked with a farmer from that vicinity but he thinks different than Mr. Langum. I think more wished they had their subscription price back from his paper. GEORGE ROELOFS:. LIKES WASHINGTON BUREAU Cedar Bend, Minn. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: As T haven't seen, any letters from our Roseau county members of late I took the hint of your last editorial to show you that we fully appreciate the Leader. To my notion the Washington bureau is our pathfinder and should be read by every voter. Cigars and handshakes won't do much -good any more. I wish you success to carry the Union by 1920. CHARLES WITTIG. KEPT PRESS FORGOT IT The daily papers very properly gave all the publicity possible to the great speech made by President Wilson at the meeting of the American Federa- tion of Labor held in Buffalo a few days ago. The president made a strong appeal to the workingmen of the na- tion and the spirit in which his utter- ances were received gave evidence of the fact that the laboring men of the country—the law-abiding, liberty-lov- ing unionists—stand squarely behind the chief executive in the great task eonfronting him. But there was another speech de- livered at Buffalo, and concerning this the city press is strangely silent. President A. C. Townley of the Na- tional Nonpartisan league, was also present by special request and spoke to the delegates, outlining the aims of the organization of which he is the head. The city press did not mention this fact, although it was surely worthy of some sort of comment. It was the first time that an accredited representative of .a farmers’ organiza- tion has ever appeared before a meet- ing of trades unionists, but to judge from the results it will not be the last. —THIEF RIVER FALLS (MINN.)

Be a Mechanic, for men of mechanical training were never in such big demand. Thousands of motor trucks and tractors are required in' the moving of guns, ammunition and supplies. In addition, thousands of acroplanes, regular armored land battleships. Three hundred thousand mechanics is the estimated minimum initial requirement of our first army, to be used in this modern war of machinery. This vast number of men must be recruited from civil life. In turn, their positions must be filled, or men trained to take their places. Herein lies a golden opportunity for you who are mechanically inclined. You must uU. s.

On account of the interest that has already developed and the demand for this system to be put in operation and the lack of knowledge of the essential features that were necessary to make the Rochdale System a success, it became necessary for us to establish a school to teach and train people to do the work. We started school on November 1st and it was a success from the start, yet ®ve are not getting enough people to take up the work as fast as demands are being mpade for managers for Co-operative Stores that we are establishing and men to sell stock to establish co-operative institutions. p This School is for the purpose of training people in the true principles of the Rochdale System of Co-operation so that the people that we interest may know and understand that it is a plan of “Each for all and all for each.”” We want every Red Blooded American that has more interest in the Common Peo- ple than in dollars to.come and see us or write us, and we will assure you that if you will take up this work with the spirit that is necessary in any work to . make a success, that the people with whom you meet and interest to take part in the movement will be benecfitted and you will receive a compensation equal to or better than you have ever received before. This work is being conducted by the American Rochdale Union, an educa- tional Organization teaching co-operation and establishing Business Institutions on the combined plan of the Rochdale System as being operated in England, Scotland, Ireland, Denmark and other European Countries, and is to the co- operative institutions of America, what the Co-operative Union Ltd., is to the co-operative enterprises of Europe. ‘Write for further information, or call at the Ninth Floor Pioneer Building, AMERICAN ROCHDALE UNION Educational Organization.
