BASE. TACTICS FAIL Rt Sterling, Colo. ‘Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Am enclosing a clipping from the Denver Express. The Express is a " paper that seems to be with us, but they allowed this rot to be run as news from Lincoln. Somebody lied, as you will see by the booklet they claim the League puts out being pro-German, or that persons joining are pro-German. Our members at Lincoln should try to find out who sent the letter referred to. I do not think any such letter was sent to the council of defense. I am a new member but I can say that kind of bunk will get us many members. As soon as they get the farmers to think- ing and investigating these lies and they learn the truth they will join the League. So I really think that’s oil on our wheel. Yours for success, G. S. FOSDICK. The clipping enclosed by Mr. Fos- dick came under a Lincoln, Nebraska, ' dateline from the so-called’ Nebraska “council of defense.” The Leader has covered this in a full-page article.— THE EDITOR. EFFICIENT FARMS ESSENTIAL . ; Caldwell, Idaho Editor Nonpartisan Leader: 8eventy per cent of the militia called from the grain producing sections of the country was taken from the farms; they were either farmers or farm labor- ers and real live ones at that, for the government can’t use the dead head. Neither can the farmer use him to any advantage. The time has come when there should be a real awakening to these conditions. It is essential that every interested farmer should get busy with the proper state and government officials and in- form them as to the real farm condi- tions, for it is certainly dangerous to experiment with the help that we had last season or the riff-raff that we would naturally get from Japan and China. : D. G. RUBY.: “GREATER IOWA” FIGHTS FARMERS i Canton, S. D. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Just a word to you and several clip- pings ‘from the Sioux City Journal, which I hope you will reprint in the Leader for ‘the benefit of the rest of our good members. What is their “Greater Iowa association” that is re- sisting our “League menace,” as they call it—and a League “that is disloyal to the Stars and Stripes?” ‘Why must we put up with such les? I am doing everything in my power to help this League win. I have sent sev- eral copies of the Leader to Iowa farmers and they are very optimistic about this League as well as myself. 0. M. Thomason delivered a fine speech here in regard to the Nomnpartisan league on February 1. We need many more such gatherings. Let us all pull at the same end of the rope. ; _LOUIS FICK. The clippings sent by Mr. Fick re- affirmed what readers of the Leader already .know—that the politicians of Iowa and -the big business interests that are now making a determined. fight to get into the pork barrel of war profiteering, are planning a fight against the organized farmers. : The “Greater Iowa association”—a clique of big business men—*“is preparing to -resist the Nonpartisan league,” says one clipping. “We ask you to keep the Nonpartisan league, as at present con- trolled, out of this state,” says another, quoting from a circular letter sént to. all business men by “The Greater Iowa association.” “For the farmers of Towa to yield to the siren voices of the or- ganizers of the Nonpartisan league would be equivalent to committing* hari-kari,” says another. Plainly, in Iowa it’s a case of big business fight- ing the farmers,~THE EDITOR.. ~ The Mitchell $1250 Six 120-Inch Wheelbase—A Powerful Motor Nothing Like It in the Fine-Car Field Today HIS is to men who want a car of the highest grade and standards — built to last a lifetime.
