FOSS, LEADER STAFF CARTOONIST wiLL you MEE MY PROT C___DR Knocker—you all know the meaning of the word and I feel perfectly safe in saying that every one of you know at least one. For the benefit of those that do not I will give a brief description. The knocker is the poor, narrow-minded creature that runs around, usually in a circle, slamming, kicking, lying and as a rule talkmg like the inmate of a padded cell about one thing or another or everything in general. He’s the fellow that says, “No sir, my mind is made up and anything you might say can not change it,” just like a mule. The other half of his make-up seems to be inherited from the sna.ke family. The award for the best amateur cartoon received last week goes to Rollin Hamilton, Grafton, N. D. Rollin shows the farmer introducing the above men- tioned creature—the knocker—to his friend and protector, the Nonpartisan league. Perhaps, in this case, the knocker’s mind may be changed because, as you know, the League is such a great, big likeable fellow. I like Rollin’s cartoon fine. , Floyd W.

Woodrow Wilson, for Instance Secretary of Progressive Organization Headed by Our ® President Indorses the Nonpartisan Aims ERY forward looking force in America is pray- ing for the continued success of the National Nonpartisan league. The latest progressive group to praise the farmers’ movement is the National Short Ballot organiza- tion. Woodrow Wilson is president of this society. As will be seen from its letterhead, the most prominent men in the nation, men who have always taken a stand for government by the people, are officers of this federation. The letter, which was sent to.the editor of the Nonpartisan weekly in North Dakota, by the executive sec- vretary of the Short Ballot league, follows: THE NATIONAL SHORT BALLOT ORGANIZATION . : Woodrow Wilson, Washington, D.

Editor North Dakota Leader, ... Fargo, N. D.: I have just read with the greatest .interest the report of one of Mr. King’s speeches in North Dakota un- der the auspices of the Nonpartisan league. It seems to me that Mr. King has gone to the heart of the subject in his outline of the reorganization of state government. The farmers of North Dakota and throughout :the Northwest have so far been very prac- tical in their methods. And that is the secret of their success. They have at last adopted the tactics that have brought success to their opponents— big business, as you call it in North Dakota. That is to say, the great grain elevator corporations - would never have been powerful unless they had learned the lesson that in con- centration there is strength; concen- tration of authority within their own units and over their whole organiza- - tion. So-long as the farmers adopted the opposite tactics and kept themselves divided, the elevator owners found their prey easy. « Now. the political leaders among’ the farmers seem to look with favor upon concentration of power in- the PAGE SEVENTEEN R Al' VERTISEMENTS - I have recelved numerous requests t» wl class for women in my big Auto nd ac- tor School here in Fargo.
