Editor Nonpartisan Leader: 2 In the Leader for January 28T find a little cartoon that goes right home to Big Biz. It is about the loan to the drouth-stricken farmers, and just see the way our uncle is squeezing the stuffing out of the old Kaiser. That's what we farmers want to see, and I don’t think anything could hit that brute worse than to see us American farmers helped out so as to raise a big crop this year. ' We can all see how Big Biz is fight- ing this great movement, the League, and its doings, and at the same time calling us pro-Germans, traitors and all kinds of ill names, just because we are beginning to be wise enough to try to win this war for Uncle Sam. H. N. WOLD. FOR LEAGUE AND COUNTRY Opheim, Mont. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I just got a few numbers of the Leader and am very much pleased to say that it is the best paper I ever read, and I think every farmer should be interested in it. It alone is sure’ worth the $16 and then some. The biggest share of the farmers here be- long to the League. Now I am an American from the sole of my feet to the top of my head and will do all I can for my country. i HANS L. PETERSON. PARTIES MAY COMBINE Montrose, S. D. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Enclosed you will find two articles from the Sioux Falls Argus Leader. The,Argus Leader has been fighting the League for months. This fall I was out a day and a half with an or- ganizer and met a few men around here who refused to join. because of the lies that have been printed in the Argus Leader. It will pay Governor Norbeck to oppose the League because he is coming out for re-election this fall. There is a report around heré that some of the opposers are trying to get the two o0ld parties to vote as one and beat the League candidate. CLAUD E. RUTTERFIELD. WOULD LIKE SAME TREATMENT Echo, Minn, Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I declare, if Wilson did not take over the railroads and will guarantee them an income equal to the average net income of the three years preceding June 30, 1917! Now if he only would take over our farming operations on the same basis! We could then also retire and live from the guaranteed in- come, crop or no crop. How patriotic we would become! Hallelujah! But we. presume it will be such a long, long way to Tipperary that we will be forced to take the shortest way—con- scription of wealth. O. M. AARSETH. SOUTH DAKOTA “SLATE” READY ; ¢ Henry, 8. D. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: As we are yet months off from the 1918 primaries in this state, it seems things are getting in harness for the drive, as we read editorials thus: “Press Indorses Decision of Candi- date for Nomination at Primary.” Is it the people who elect their can- didates, or is’it the duty of “the press” to make a decision and merely whip the voters to the polls to elect the candidates approved by ‘“the press”? I think they have gone the limit when Letters to the Editor a rag that pretends to be a respectable newspaper intends to gag the people with dope that has long soured and dis- - graced the voters and the people. The handwriting is on the wall, for their doom is sealed as a medium to ham- mer out the nominations and elections for their favored bosses or pets, as it undoubtedly the case in this announce- ment. “There has been general approval of the press of the state to boost the nomination of these candidates for the primary,” says the article. Well, if the pie has been presented, the pieces slashed and dealt out, then farewell for the coming primary. Shoot your guns, bretheren! C. L. BAUMAN. CAN'T SHAKE THEM OFF Warroad, Minn. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: We read an article in the paper writ- ten by Louis F. Swift, in which he says the government called together the big men in every line of business, livestock men, packers, jobbers, manu- facturers, retailers, and laid before them the needs of the country. Do the needs of the country require that these men take more profit every year or, is it that these “big” men should distribute the produce the farm- ers put in their hands at little or no profit during the war? Ye gods! Can’t we shake these “big” fellows off our backs? FRANK E. NORMAN. MORE WANT TO JOIN Kensburg, Colo. . Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Just a word in favor of the Nonpar- tisan Leader and the great North Da- kota movement! I was fortunate enough to hear Mr. Ray McKaig speak in Denver a year ago, and it pleased me very much, so on seeing an organ- .izer, I joined. But I want others to join, and I'm certain that I could in- duce others to send their names and dues direct to headquarters. Hoping that we may ever prosper in our work, I remain, GEO. W. KRAUS. NEBRASKA EDITOR IS FAIR Maxwell, Neb. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: ' Enclosed is a marked article taken from the Nebraska Farm Journal, deal- ing with the Nonpartisan league. It was issued last August 15, but just came to my notice. I think it is worth copying. It shows that the editor and publisher are real men, honest men, patriotic and loyal citizens, and willing to permit the truth in favor of the people as contrasted with these other clippings enclosed, from local news- papers, whose editors print such viper- _ous falsehoods. Men who print such falsehoods are even lower than any- thing that ever crept or crawled. Why 30 years ago I stamped into the ground with the heel of my red top boots bet- ter creatures. Yours for the Leader and the great emancipation of the human race, and the Nonpartisan league to the end of time. i J. L. BURKE. While the Nebraska Farm' Journal .~ contained a fair account of the League movement and told how it had gripped the Nebraska farmers as long ago as last August, the local small-bore news- papers were filled with vituperation, second-hand lies, and kunckling to the big business and political interests that are trying to defeat the League farm- ers -in Nebraska.—THE EDITOR.
