Farmers’ Union Co-Operative Association, Fort Collins, Colo. (Continued from page 5) 7 structive. The law required that the returns should be canvassed by the legislature, with both houses in joint session. In spite of all corruption, the Alliance candidates in the legis- lature had won and were in a ma- jority in each house.. They organized the house and of course chose a farmer as speaker. _But this farmer had had no political experience. = He didn’t know what to do at a critical time, and the wily politician who had been elected lieutenant governor could run circles around him in parliamen- tary practice. The farmers last year in North Dakota prevented this by holding nightly sessions, called by their enemies “the secret caucus,” where they practiced parliamentary procedure, held debates and studied public questions, and in North Dakota no wily politicians put anything over on them either. But they did back in 1891 in Lincoln. HOW THE POLITICIANS TRICKED THE FARMERS They had to canvass the vote in joint - session, ‘according to law. On the face of it the returns showed all the - anti-farmer- state candidates elected and all the farmer candidates +defeated. So a farmer moved that the speaker of the .house appoint a committée of nine from the house and six from the senate to take charge of the canvass. But the wily lieutenant governor refused to put the motion— and there they were, “stumped” right _off the reel.: At first no one seemed to question the lieutenant governor's authority to act as presiding officer. Some -one appealed from his decision, but he wouldn’t_even put the appeal to a vote——stumped again! Then a bright farmer had a bright idea. He stood up and declared he re- fused to recognize the lieutenant gov- ernor as the legitimate presiding of- ficer of the joint assembly. Some one put the motion again, and the speaker of the house, who of course was a farmers’ man, put the question, and it carried by a big majority, for the Alliance - farmers outnumbered: the combined Republicans and Democrats in each house. Later they found the .lieutenant governor had not been sworn in when he tried to usurp this alfalfa seed direct from largest grower in the state. W. E. Chisman, Lisbon, N. D.

He pro- posed that they decide who were the rightfully elected state officers- by counting the votes where there were no contests and ignoring the contests. That would have put the farmer of- ficials in power. But the rest didn’t like that—it looked too much like ““strong-arm - methods” ‘to suit' the peace-loving farmers. How little their opponents deplored “strong-arm meth- ods” they did not know but wer€ to find out the next day. Well, they canvassed the vote, and like good, honést: farmers that they were, they announced the returns showed all' the anti-farmer state of- ficials elected. But the _lieutenant governor feared trouble. He had got himself sworn in in the meantime, and ~he " appointed 14 big husky special seargents-at-arms. They were in the statehouse when the joint session met. Moreover he had got a.writ from the state supreme court commanding the '|" speaker: to read the returns,-and the ~sheriff. served this on the speaker, He “announced the returns, and. the anti- farmers ‘were declared. in..

That was Gov- ernor Boyd.. He was a Democrat, and all the other state officers seated were Republicans. Old Alliance men still declare there was a “deal” between the Republicans and Democrats by which they became nonpartisans for the time being in the effort to beat the farmers who had ‘dared to act as nonpartisans outside the old party ranks. This veto of the long sought railrpad bill was so rank, and so threatened Democratic power that even. J. Sterling Morton denounced it, and by so pretending to be against this railroad stunt he came into favor and was next year nominated for gov- ernor himself, and started on his road to national influence and Cleveland’s cabinet.
