Why did you do it? Why did you not publish the findings of the federal trade commission in the ex- posure of the packers in St. Paul.? You emitted an unholy howl as did the rest of your kind when the fuel administration, in-its order to save coal, interfered with the profits ‘of your masters. This appears more like disloyalty ‘than anything Townley could say, yet in the face of all this,. you hold yourself up to the pubilic gaze as standing for democratic prin- ciples and at the same time try to dictate to the farmers what they shall do in their movement. 2y But alas, the so-called “hayseeds” . are wise to your game, and as a re- sult the government will pass out of the hands of interests, which Presi- dent Wilson stated in his “New Free- dom” in 1914, control it. RICHARD WALL. Letters From Qur Readers RED SPRI"NG HERE TO STICK : Winona, Tex. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: How can we. farmers and laboring men ever thank the Nonpartisan league and the Nonpartisan Leader for the great -work they have done? I don’t think either can be praised too highly. The more dirty work Big Biz tries to pull off the more members he gets for the feague. Red Spring com- munity here is with the League and Leader to stick. J. E. HERRON. STRENGTHENS HIS FAITH Padroni, Col. ” Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I have just finished reading the ac- count of the attacks on League organ- izers at Mineola, Texas, and wish to protest against such lawlessness. I - have been rather a lukewarm member of the League for several months. I have read everything I could find, pro and con, concerning the League’s pro- gram. These acts of violence only serve to strengthen my belief in the patriotism of the League. If the op- position had a case against the League organizers, they would not have to re- sort to violence in order to procure justice, as every state has adequate laws to cope with pro-Germanism. 2 . I. M. DAVIS. WHAT HURTS FARMING Musselshell, Mont. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: We are still at the mercy of the banks. My place, of course, is mort- gaged. Our crops have burned up for two successive years, so you may know my predicament. I have 320 acres of my own and am leasing 640. Am privileged to farm as many acres as I like, but the drouth has left us with wornout and overworked, as well as underfed horses. Last October I traveled from one bank to another trying to borrow $1,000 with which to buy a small power tractor, offering a complete set of farm machinery, five horses and eight head of cattle as security. I was told everywhere that money was too tight to make a loan on personal property. If I had been able to get this rig we could now have had 200 acre§*of crops in where we have only 20 No food meant no work from horses, for even the grass was burned-up. If I could get this rig now I would guarantee to plant my land. .. : A WOMAN LEAGUER. CAMOUFLAGED - Commerce, Okla. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I am not a subscriber of your paper ‘but have read a number of issues which were sent me by a brother. I like very much to read papers like yours. 'We have an overproduction of -what I call humbug advertising sheets published and edited by a bunch of Judas Tscariots. , It is interesting to read Oklahoma history in your paper but we old Ok- lahomans can remember when a cer- tain Republican candidate for presi-- | dent came here to make a fool of him- self. We also have in strong memory how the Democratic party has camou- flaged us ever since. I am strongly in favor of genuine democracy and I would join the American army but as my age is 66 I wouldn't be accepted. I believe President Wilson has. done as well as he could under existing - circumstances. N. S. NORDQUIST. IN THE LEAGUE MANNER Haxtun, Col. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I am a member of the League and am glad to say that there are many others in this locality. I would like to see some one call me pro-German and not loyal to this great country of ours. < My father served four years and nine months in the Civil war for freedom, and I am ready to do the same thing for our freedom and democracy. I only wish the peo- ple who are eriticizing the Nonparti- san league would read more of the League papers and they would see how patriotic our leaders are. There isn’t a member of the League around here that hasn’t bought Liber- ty bonds and given to the Red Cross to the full limit of his means. We must, we will, win this great war. Just the other day a man was taken out of our town by the business men and sent to Sterling. : FRED A. FARMER. Mr. Farmer enclosed a clipping from a Nebraska paper which called the Nonpartisan farmers traitors. This no longer fools any one. The dirty work against the League is not done by loyal citizens who misunderstand, but ?ngly by hired thugs.—THE EDI- GOOD WISHES FROM A GLEANER : -Detroit, Mich. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: X — A copy of your fearless publication came into my hands. While the at- tacks against organized farmers and a free press are regretted, yet it is natural that the enemy shows his teeth. If the sponsors of the “Nonpartisans are loyal Americans, and not pro- German, then I hope and trust that the League expands to every state and community, and continues its war on * corrupt politicians to the end that abuses developed under the absolute rule of predatory abundance may be reduced to a degree of sufferance. That the League has drawn the. fire .of the opposition proves that its ef- forts have not been wholly in vain. But, mark you, inasmuch as the op- position is firmly entrenched in public =" office and is the law, its interpreter and administrator, the League should - prepare itself for inglorious ecruci- fixion in every court, until that time when the League shall grow strong enough in numbers to smoke out of office the professional politicians. Here’s hoping the League grows. R . FRED MARVIN, Supervisor Ancient Order of Gleaners.
