Wiiwanion, Wi ing Vierks, you money—Ilots of lt. by -lmply glv._ v Aid for Washlngton Grange Head Grange Collecting Defense Fund—Labor and Independent Press Back William Bouck, Indicted Leader LOCAL district attorney in the state of Washing- ton - recently declared in ion ‘that with the new espionage law, he could ruin any man by “pointing the finger of suspicion at you through the press and the mischief would be done.” He then hastened to add, “We are not going to abuse this power,” but on August 13 he pointed the finger at farmér William Bouck, master of the Washington state Grange, by means of an indictment\-for alleged seditious utterances, and -ever since the kept press of Washington has been trying to ruin this man before the case can be heard. The Grange farmers of Washington, however, are determined that Presi-' dent. Bouck will not be ruined thus and that he will get a fair trial even though he is a poor man. -Following the indictment, representatives of the Grange from every part of the state: met at Seattle to. go over the matter. They appointed a special committee of 16 to handle the:defense and have called upon every member of the Grange in the state to contribute not less than $1 to a special-defense fund to be sent to Treasurer Fred Nelson, R. F. D. No. 5, Seattle, Wash.. The following is a part of the public ap- peal by the committee: “Brother - Bouck absolutely denies that he ever made at Bow, or else- where, a single one of the statements with which he is charged in the indict- ment. He is a poor man, and if re- quired to bear the expense of defend- ing his suit he will have to sell his farm, and it will take every cent he has in the world. His friends in the Grange feel that he would not have been singled out and those charges preferred against him by the individ- uals who went before the grand jury had he not been. prominent in: the. work of the Grange. - It is, we believe, but just that the members of the Grange should shoulder the financial burden of seeing that Brother Bouck’s case is thoroughly prepared and effi- clenj;ly handled by the ablest of coun- sel.” LABOR GIVING : SUPPORT AS WELL The arrest of Grange Master Bouck is badly: discounted by the way the predatory interests in Washington have been persecuting farmers and workers and inciting to mob violence. The Leader readers know the story of the Walla Walla outrages against Grange farmers. They know of the mob - violence and intimidation prac- ticed against L_.ague organizers, of which the tar and feathering of state League Manager Knutson was only a credited himself . with: right-thinking Americans by the “finger of sus- .picion” speech. ~ They -should know also that organized labor and the in- - (Continued . from page 11) ti('m's,' thus making- the League truly - a national organization.: ' . “Sixteen .dollars may seem like quite a large amount for .each - farmer to contribute in order ‘to secure legislation that will give to him his just dues, but $16 is 7 'only a small item compared with - the’ amount that big- business is extorting every year from the .. ‘average Nebraska farmer, and we _believe that your monmey is % well invested in a line tlmbwill o l‘bring yone_rlcll quite un-American fash- - for instance, says edxtonally * this condition. shoul . ‘order that theae dependent press of Washmgton are coming out vigorously in defense of the Grange president. In fact, the in-- ° cident is uniting all progressive ele- ments of the state as nothmg else could. The Bellingham ¢ (Wash) Journal, “It goes without saying that the Sperkinspress has convicted William Bouck, master of the state Grange, of dlsloyalty in advance of his trial. It is likewise natural that the same or- gans should condemn any subscription towards his defense. In America the idea is that a man is innocent of crime until he is convicted by the properly constituted court. In Hunland, whence come the ideals of the Sperkinspress, reformers are railroaded to jail con- veniently and handily.” ;{-- A DIRECT HIT Editor Farmers' Dispatch: The method you have adopted as regards the Nonpartisan league is one of the leading causes of revo.lutions. Had reform forces resorted to: the same tactics we would be in the midst of revolution today. Through all the rioting and the use of force to pre- vent the constitutional right of fiee speech, there was not one word from you. Not one tangible argument has been enunciated by you to refute the justice of the demands of reforms. Falsehood and bombast have been your stock in trade. 'Having worn out the “disloyalty” howl, you now pros- titute. your manhood by employing: a Benedict Arnold in the hope ‘of en- gendering discord and disruption in refom ranks.

Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I.am a member of the Léague and like it better every time I read th¥ Leader. - Texas farmers are.glad to know that there is a farmers’ organ- ization like the Nonparhsan league. They want a League’governor for Texas in 1920. .The farmers here in Texas would like to hear Mr. A. C. Townley, president of the League, speak on Texas soil .

Editor Farmers’ Dispatch: During the last few weeks, while you have been printing Mr., Maxwell’s: write-up about the League, you have “made more: members for the League and friends for our Mr. Townley than all the organizers of the' League -put . together, and we all realize more than- part. They know how the official - which brought the indictment has dis- ever how much we need Townley tor president of the League.
