dates indorsed by the Nonpartisan league, if elected, to vote for a law which will insure this measure by pro- viding for a competent commission of educators to select text-books which will be up to date and free from all partisan and sectarian bias, and from the malign and corrupting commer- cialism of special privilege; and that such selections will be uncontaminated by the wiles and graft of lobbyists for the school book trust. In calm reliance on the justice of our cause; with faith that the issues herein presented will appeal to the intelligent judgment of the citizens of South Dakota who sincerely believe in and desire self-government; and with the invincible determination to place principles above party names and to require of those whom we elect to do the same, we members of the National Nonpartisan league and of organized labor in South Dakota in massmeeting ratify, approve and sub- mit the foregoing as our declaration of principles in the campaign of 1918. Believing that the first and chief requisite of a democracy to be equality of opportunity in affairs political, we Another Farmer Foe Turns Up Its Toes (Continued from page 9) out even a more pretentious edition, with prize offers to farmers and other inducements. Again they waited. The second issue fell “dead born from the press,” so to speak. Or perhaps it could better be described as a boom- erang—a large proportion of the first and second issues came back to the elaborately furnished “On the Square” offices with indignant letters or com- ment by the farmers. EXPOSED BY LEAGUE PAPER The story would not be complete without the account of the part played by the Minnesota Leader, the state paper of the Nonpartisan league in Minnesota. The Minnesota ~ Leader " got wind of the big slush fund and its purposes several weeks before the first issue of “On the Square.” It published all the details that could be obtained and sent a warning about the proposition to its readers. Prior to the issuance of the first issue for general circulation, a con- fidential copy was gotten out—a sort of “dummy” to show to advertisers in soliciting ads for the first issue. This “dummy” contained all the pictures - and cartoons and reading matter that was to appear in the first issue. The " Minnesota Leader obtained a copy of this confidential dummy, reproduced - the pictures and cartoons and much of the reading matter, and showed just what the promoters were up_to before the first issue appeared. This caused the promoters an extra ex- . ‘pense of several thousand dollars in - having new plates made and changing the original plans, so that the Lead- “er’s exposure could be “discredited.” " After the first issue, the Leader re- published the matter “On the Square” had planned to use, together with the .- pictures and matter that it did finally use in the first issue, showing the changes ‘the Leader’s. criticism had .| F forced the promoters to make. 'And then the Minnesota Leader ‘asked the opinion of its readers on' the new magazine. .Almost all the Leader’s "readers were on the big list of 200,000 to whom “On the. Square” was sent. ‘The Leader began 1o get the farmers’ views of the mat- ter by the bushel basketful. The of- fice was swamped with the farmers’ reviews and criticism of the new anti- farmer publishing venture. The Min- nesota Leader staff threw up its hands in despair and contented itself in printing about one in ‘100 of the let- ters it received from indignant farm- ers.. - : S .. Nobody who knew anything -of the » publishing - business expected this - wild-eyed scheme to succeed, and the Minnesota Leader staff had a regular picnic. It published all the letters that “On the Square” sent to its agents, the letters it sent to farmers who returned papers and protested, and the letters it sent to advertisers. Every detail of the “On the Square” Publishing company was exposed— and then the blame thing blew up, and the Minnesota Leader staff had to get down to business again, dis- cussing the League program in Min- nesota. The vacation is over until some more ‘rich but deluded League enemies start something else of the same kind, which they will do, of course, because they are very, very stupid. A touch would be lacking if the fact is omitted that a. member of the Minnesota Leader staff was present when “On the Square” moved its costly furniture, typewriters and equipment out of its sumptuous offices and sold them to the second-hand man. He came back to the Leader office and wrote a tearful story of blasted hopes, and the Minnesota Leader pub- lished a cartoon of “On the Square” being quietly buried by sad Big Biz.
