Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Distribution of the Leader here, May 11, stirred up the imitation pa- triots. The farmers are always anxious to receive their copy. On May 11, as I was going my rounds with the Leader, I was stopped on the street by the city marshal and taken to his office. There he and another man, named Burrows, used very abusive language. The latter said that the farmers were all fools. I was arrested and carried to the jail at the county seat. Sheriff Gunter is a gentleman, and received me with courtesy. He ex- amined the Leader and declared that there was nothing to hold me for, and released me. The marshal was under the influence of liquor and offered me a drink on the road to the county seat. This little affair has made n.ore men inquire what the Nonpartxsan league really is. The time is ripe for a speaker here. E. C. DAVIS. HOW ONE FARMER FEELS Elbow Lake, Minn. Editor aneapolls Journal: I have contemplated writing you for some time in regard to your at- tacks made on the farmers and their political and industrial champion— the Nonpartisan league. * You have made a good many remarks that I have resented as untrue, but will only try to answer some made in your editorial of May 18. You say the League is created for an evil purpose. Evil to whom, I -agsk you? Only created for the pur- pose of securing a SQUARE DEAL for the- farmer and laboring man of the big cities—a square deal that Big -Biz—your owner and boss—has never been willing to grant. You say the farmer has nothing to redress. If ‘beating down the price of grain in the fall, also stock and raising in spring - to sell at the grain combine’s own terms is “right,” why we have no grievance toward the chamber of commerce and packing trusts. ~ Stop your Big Biz-owned and con- trolled paper when my subscription expires.
