Wrongs Must First Be Righted (From the Public) The Nonpartisa;z league is not the .cause of unrest among northwestern farmers; rather, it is the effect of unrest. It is the natural and inevi- table effect of legislation that has given over the boundless resources of a continent to the keeping of a few. It is the effect of unrest among labor, among tradesmen and manufacturers, among all industries unsupported by legal privilege. It would be utterly futile to combat the Nonpartisan league by denuncia- tions and appeals to patriotism. Nothing but a redress of grievances can successfully meet them. Class movement though it may be, it is a protest against intolerable wrongs; and as those wrongs afflict the poor in all classes and callings, the only way of stopping the continual transfer of voters from the old parties to the new ones is to remove the wrongs. To call upon Democrats and Repub- licans to unite in the name of Amer- ica will avail little. If such a union could be effected it would be only to rise higher the dam and invite the greater disaster when the flood waters do break through. The names Repub- lican and Democrat have come to -mean little to the poor who feel that they are not getting a square deal un- der present economic conditions, and who are striving in their poor way to find the cause. Enlightened statesmen will not waste time in denouncing uurest, but will set about removing the cause. It is not a time for name calling, but for earnest thinking. And the Nonparti- san league of northwestern farmers is causing political leaders to re-examine their own position. Swinging an Axe on an Editor Sauk Center, Minn. | Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I am sending you a clipping from the Sauk Center Herald. After it printed this attack, I called at the Herald office and cancelled my sub- scription, telling the editor to keep the issues that were still due me. You will notice that the editor attempts to 2 hedge by dis- claiming any in- tention of charg- ing the farmers with disloyalty, but jumps on our leaders. That is a favorite trick of editors who wish to serve the .old g ang politicians by doing their ut- most to down' our leaders. and thus the League. I hold that he who assails our paid employes, assails the organization: Mr. Townley and his aids are employed by the farmers to perform a special piece of work, that of organizing them into a compact, smooth-working political unit, a thing we must do if we are to break the chains of industrial slavery which the old party machines that have come to be merely the tools of big busmess : have forged upon us. Our leaders are succeeding in’ that “work, big as is the job, and this natnr- ally draws the fire of our enemies. If any one can produce material proof that Townley or any other League of- ficial is, by word oi act, doing any- thing against the welfare of this country, I shall demand their resigna- tions and we will get some one else to fill their places. The League has be- come too big to be dominated by an in- dividual. It is a nation-wide move- ment—nay, it is the nucleus of a world-wide movement which will ulti- mately overthrow monopoly in all its forms. To lodge a charge of dxsloyal- ty, unsupported by ev1dence, against a citizen at this time is an unspeakable crime. And any local paper that com- mits the offense should be read out of existence. In every such case let every League member swing the ax. J. L. DRINKER. BAMBOOZLING THE PEOPLE From F. A. Newman of Stratford, Iowa, the Leader has received a copy of the propaganda of the patnoteer- ing Greater Iowa association, urging | “the active men of the state who are in business both in the rural and urban districts” to fight the Nonpartisan league, which “has apprommately 100 orgamzers working in Towa.” This is what Mr. Newman calls a real ‘gem. He refused the invitation; saying: “How long, oh! how long, ‘will such tomfoolery be employed hoodwink the people ?” 3 PAGE TWENTY OHE ADVERTISEMENTS AREAL opportunity to cut deep into the “high cost o? living.” Montgomery Ward . are smashing prices in their Special Mid- Summer Sale by Mail.
