Townley Leads Noble Movement, Woman Answers Anti-Farmer Paper With Quotation From President Wilson’s Book, “The New Freedom” b Alexander, N. D. DITOR Nonpartisan Leader: En- closed you will find a sheet of the Spring Valley Mercury con- taining an editorial on the ‘alleged disloyalty of the speakers at the St. Paul convention. Here also is a copy of the article I wrote in answer to the same: Editor Spring Valley Mercury: Do you know that of the 37 speakers pres- ent, complaint was made against only one? You know very well that if the speakers had been a “bunch of notori- ous disloyalists” as you termed them, the National Nonpartisan league would have been out of existence long ere this. But instead of that, it is grow- ing larger day by day, and if A. C. Townley was as unpatriotic as the con- trolled press are trying to make be- lieve he is he would be behind the - bars.long ago—as anxious as.his ene- mies are to get rid of him. I. have a copy of Mr. Townley's speech as published in the Minneapolis Labor Review, and everything he says - chimes well with a democratic gov- ernment and certainly you do not call statements of such nature disloyal. He brings forth these facts: that the ma- jority of the people have failed to make their needs known to the legislative bodies and to see to it that those bodies are composed of men truly rep- { resenting them. Listen to what Presi- dent Wilson says in his book, “The New Freedom”: rs— “The masters of the government of the United States are the combined capitalists and manufacturers of the United - States,” and “the government of the United States at present is a foster child of the special interests,” and much more of the same kind. A. C. Townley has surely been call- ed to the work in which he is engaged and by his adopted methods we find a solution of the problem how to free ourselves from the powerful clutches of the money combine. And you, pre- tending to be a friend of the farmers, are fighting their noble movement. Did ever the farmers oppose your newspaper editors’ organizations? And indeed if they had, you would have thought it rather meddlesome. Then why de you oppose theirs? But I un- derstand. The old gang politicians are using you as one of their tcols with : which: to..break:-up this Nonpartisan league. You might as well give up. All those stunts were tried out in North Dakota, and all of no avail. The only thing they did accomplish was to injure the business of those who tried them, The Nonpartisan league has bad its test in North Dakota. We therefore know of what we speak. We have al- ready profited, and will profit more | after the 1918 elections—thanks to A. C. Townley, as we know of no one else who would have been able to lead us to such a complete victory. MRS. 0. A. GAJEWSKIL Leagueis Good for South Dakota People Mean to Put Its State Ownership Program Into s Efi'ect Says Kelley - Editor Nonpartisan Leader: UCH confusion and misunder- standing seems to, exist con- " cerning the aims and pur- poses of the farmers of the Northwest through the instrumental- ity of the Nonpartisan league. In ) many instances merchants appear to b imagine that the purpose of the farm- : ers is to put them out of business as undesirable middlemen, and thereby 4 cause the general impoverishment of . towns and cities. - Nothing could be further from the truth than this. ! As a matter of fact the farmers pro- ! duce the great majority of all new wealth as labor produces all wealth. That the farmers haven’t got a reason- \ .able portion of the wealth they pro- ‘duce ‘is_quite apparent without- agree- ¢ ment. . - Among the things we demand is a - packing plant in, for and by the state of South Dakota. This 'is a local measure, of course. but the same thing should be in every state. We live here at the very base of the country’s meat ~ supply. - But there is not a hoof sold ; from this state that is not sold on the basis of Chicago prices WITH THBE FREIGHT DEDUCTED, “and scarcely a pound sold on the block that is not sold on the basis of Chicago” prices S cincal® WITH THE FREIGHT ADDED. The railway corporations take their toll both ways. We intend to cut this needless expense out . We intend to save this enormous useless expense- now going to create millionaires and billionaires. We intend to erect state-owned ele- vators where grain may be stored and cash drawn against warehouse re- ceipts, to avoid flooding the terminal arkets and playing into the hands of the speculative interests when they desire to beat down the price of grain as they do each any every fall when grain is marketed heavily. We propose to erect one mill within the state of South Dakota that the flour trust can not put out of business. Our plan embraces the erection . of cold storage plants .state or municipal- ly owned for the protection of all the people of the state. The state and the people are ‘synonymous terms. There is absolutely nothing in the demands of the farmers of this coun- try but what every person within the confines of South Daflota—every per- gon who loves mankind—can heartily subseribe to. J.

Nuxated Iron Makes Strong, Vi.gorous Iron Men and Beautiful Healthy Rosy Cheeked Women Former Hospital Physician and Medical Examiner- says that in three weeks it Virtually Revitalized His Whole System. In a recent discourse on the subject of iron deficiency in the blood of Amerlca)l men and women,Dr. H. B. Vail, former ({ ph%slcian in the Baltimore Hospital sai “Throughout’ ‘my 'experience on hospi staffs and as medical examiner, I ave been astonished at the number of patients who have vainly doctored for various dis- eases when in reallty their delicate, run- down state was simg vy the result of lack of iron in the blood. Time and again I - have prescribed organic iron—Nuxated Iron—and surprised patients at the rapid- ity with which the weakness-and general _debility were replaced L’f a renewed feel- ing of strength and vitality. I took Nux- ated Iron myself to build me-up after a | serious case of nervous exhaustion.
