I am one of the farmers who took an after- noon off to go with Townley to get members. We saw seven or eight and .8ix of them were willing enough to join, and I did not get a penny for my half day. I was glad to do that much for the League. Now, this little clipping out of the Des Moinet stead shows an enemy .9f the farmers and also that the head men are in the same boat. If interested I can send you the Homestead. It reads- like a Jesse James story. The only difference is they are using stove-pipe hats. The Leader is the best paper I get. ROELOF HIBMA. The Farm and Home clipping" sent in by Mr. Hibma is the same fake letter that other farmers have sent, in which an alleged farmer who gives neither name or address, says that every farmer who helps an organizer “gets big pay,” that organizers get $8 for every member they secure, and that they get their expenses paid out of the “other $8,” all of which are lies concocted entirely by enemies of the farmers. The other clippings tell how the chamber of commerce of Des Moines' and similar bodies in other towns have established a black list and secret detective system to hound the Nonpartisan league farmers in Iowa.—THE EDITOR. _GLOATS OVER OPPRESSION Edgerton, Minn, Editor Nonpartisan Leader: .Enclosed find some clippings from the Edgerton Enterprise so you can see how they are treating the farm- ers. This county would be a fine place for “Crafty” to live in. His nerves would not be straightened out again, and the editor of the Enter- prise would be his best friend. “We all like your paper very. well. Give it to Big Biz as hard as you ‘can and be patriotic. . : : »_ D. KOPPENOL.

MENTION | : Enémy;’fs Advice Has F ailed “Montana Paper Wants Union Labor to Fight Farmers, but - Labor Is Co-Operating Instead: Winifred, Mont. DITOR Nonpartisan Lea- der: Will send you a piece out of a Missoula paper (The Missoula Sen- - tinel) that came to my ; notice. I may be late with it, but I like to hear them “howl,” as then you know they are hurt. Yours for a clean sweep in 1920, CHARLES GORSAYE. The Missoula Sentinel clipping sent ' by Mr. Gorsaye contained an appeal to organized labor to fight the Non- partisan league. In order to preju- dice the organized laborers of west- ern Montana, the Sentinel printed two glaring falsehoods, and a number of rather tarnished ones. The Sentinel said that Kate Richards O’Hare was ‘“one of the active. workers” of the Nonpartisan league. Kate Richards O’Hare never had the remotest con- nection with the Nonpartisan league and never addressed a League audi- ence. But the Sentinel published this “lie because Mrs. O’Hare has been sen~ scheduled—THE EDITOR. L PAGE TWENTY-THEEE B IS s R T tenced to five years in the federal penitentiary for seditious utterances, and it wished to discredit the League by ‘“association.” The other most\glaring falsehood was the statement.that Mr. Townley and the League “opposed the entrance of the United States into the war” and since entrance into the war had “continued their anti-war campaign.” Before the United States entered the- war, the League never took any po- sition regarding the war. It was busy with the program for which it was organized, the overthrow of business control of politics and robbery of pro- ducers of all classes through monopoly control of price-fixing, of legislatures, Iowa—a ‘““Gibraltar” (Continued from page 8) made Dunn the Loftus of Iowa. Dur- ing the last four or five years he has been forced to attend more and more to his law practice; but the 1,000 farm- ers’ elevators which he helped estab- lish in Iowa and adjoining states, working in conjunction with George Loftus of Minnesota (they were close friends and = exchanged counsels throughout the fight from 1904 down to Loftus’ death) are an expression of the Towa farmers’ renewed deter- mination not’ to succumb to the ma- chinations of special interests. And most significant of all are the multiplied signs that the Iowa farm- ers are again this year of 1918 launch- ing upon a renewed political fight in conjunction with their economic inter- ests, like that of old Alliance days, and like the movement that made James B. Weaver a national figure and pointed to Iowa as one of the states where the people’s interests found the biggest support. The United Taxpayers’ league of Iowa which scheduled a meeting in Des Moines March 12, is one of the political- aspects of this rejuvenated farmers’ movement that has found its strongest political expression in the National Nonpartisan league. The Taxpayers’ league invited the Non- partisan league to send representa- tives to a state-wide massmeeting to be held in Des Moines to consider the -best way for farmers: to take a hand in: Jowa..politics, and. net..enly the. ing how the trath; boards and commissions supposed to be working in the public interest. But when war was apparently approach- ing, the house of representatives of the North Dakota legislature, then in session, made up with about 80 per cent of League members, passed a joint resolution, urging congress to commandeer war munitions factories and all other agencies necessary for prosecuting “war, if war should be forced upon the United States. This was the first trumpet call for an onslaught upon the war profiteers, and the "anti-League senate refused to concur, thereby killing the reso- lution. The farmers who proposed this were denounced as shiftless scamps who were thus seeking to wrench prosperity from men who' had built up great, successful industries. The bitterness of these sefiate lackeys of big business was extreme, and ever since this the League has been at- tacked—not because of lack of loy- alty to the United States, but for lack -of loyalty to big business. After war was declared, the League took up the position thus first publicly suggested by the North Dakota legis- lative members of the League—name- ly that wealth should be conscripted— and the only shadow of alleged “dis- loyalty” that has ever been charged against it is coupled with criticism of government machinery for not making the war more efficient by p ousting these profiteers. Samuel Gompers has indorsed the Nonpartisan league publicly several times and urged organized labor to unite with it. Labor bodies affiliated with the American Federation of Labor in many states have officially indorsed the League.—THE EDITOR. and a ‘““Vesuvius” half century of Iowa’s history, that while the state has been dominated by one political party, it has been a state burning with enthusiasm for real progress, and often winning progress by independent political ac- tion of the farmers. LAUGHS AT VICIOUS LIE Canby, Minn. Editor ‘Nonpartisan Leader: From time to time I have read “news” about the Nonpartisan league in the kept press and it is surely: amusing to read the cock-and-bull stories printed in these farmers’ (?) papers. I don’t suppose this one has escaped your notice, but will send it along: CHABLES J. JOHNSON. The clipping inclosed by Mr. John- son was an editorial article in the Farmers’ Dispatch of St. Paul attack- ing President Townley of the Non- partisan league, containing charges that have been answered fully in the Leader.—THE EDITOR. 2 WORTH MORE THAN IT COST Adams, N. D. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Being a member of the Nonpartisan league and never having written you before I thought I would write a few words thanking you for all the good information I have had from it. It has-afforded. me-much-pleasure in see- the Nonpartisan: Leader tells st o A5 ‘Nonpartisan . league,” but- all - other - “Most everybody around this vicinity farmer organizations ‘in the" state were invited to join. These facts, coupled with the request two years ' ~ago of Towa farmers for the National ' Nonpartisan league to. send organiz- .ers into the. state, all point to the o fact,, made _plain .’th_roughbnt the last are. Nonpartisans and we’ll stick through thick and thin to help the good cause. As a member of the League, I am proud to say that I have already had the value for the money spent for dues many times over. .
