About That Mandan, N. D. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Well, well, I see by the St. Paul Dispatch, the Fargo Forum, the Bis- marck Tribune, Mandan Pioneer (and I suppose the Grand Forks Herald) that we farmers at last have got a new “real farmers’ league” and such a league that even all these grand old gang papers could give their support because they (the farmers) are not asking anything meore.than what they are entitled to, and the new league is not in the hands of a bunch of graft- ers (say the old gang papers). Ah, yes! I would not be surprised to find the editor of the Fargo Forum one of the leading figureheads, be- cause he and Mr. Bacon of the Grand Forks Herald and the editor of the Mandan Pioneer are proving them- selves to be such real friends of the farmers. The farmers know this. Without ex- ception they have already proven their ability, and will do so again next fall. The “Townley farmers’ league” will get a vote that will even surprise the members.

O yes, you gentlemen of the special interests, we farmers are onto you— with both feet, and we certainly will step down just a little bit harder next fall, at election time. Yours for big- ger success than ever. CHAS. H. ROTH. WHO ARE TRAITORS? Secretary McAdoo, in a speech be- fore the liberty loan conference in Washington December 10, made the statement that, while sufficient legally competent evidence was not in hand to warrant conviction before a - jury, yet enough was known morally to con- vince a man of understanding that the hand of the Kaiser was at work in bringing about sales of liberty loan bonds and depressing their price on the exchange. This is added proof that the loss indicated by the differ- ence between par and the stock ex- change prices is fictitious and not real. A certain Mr. Van Norden (and that Van part of it has a Kaijseresque sound) has written a tirade against the ADVERTISEMENTS farmers, and even a lot of day work- American farmer, being especially bit- - ers and some business men, any ter and sarcastic regarding the farm- K longer..

Just another fib, It’s to0 flimsy and foolish to call it a well-bred lie, although the fellows who are telling it are capable of lying very mcely at any and all times. Their talent is not confined to plain fibbing. As a matter of fact, George Totten had never seen Mrs. O’Hare until he happened to be in Bxsmarck on business, at the time her case was being tried. He had nothing to do with the case, and had no association of any kind with Mrs. O ’Hare.
