~ Oklahoma Farmers to Convene Meeting of All Interested in Organization Called for November 25—Plans for 1920 5t The boy, as Cartoonist Bicknese shows here, has a good start. If the Oklahoma farmers feed him the kind of food he needs, new members, he will be a-giant béfore 1920 rolls around. They are going to hold a big meeting at Oklahoma City on November 25 to discuss this food question. NE of the enemies of the League farmers and at the same time a friend of the special interest politicians has been the ; influenza epidemiec. Among other things it prevented the Nonpartisan league members of Okla- homa from holding their convention as “ planned on October 28. But the in- fluenza will hold the field only tem- porarily. - Another meeting is called for November 25 at Oklahoma City and all Oklahoma farmers interested in- farmer . organization should be there. . This meeting is called for the same purpose as the one which had to be called off—namely, to arrange organ- ization work for the coming two years. Qklahoma has a splendid chance of duplicating what the farmers of North Dakota did, in 1920. But effective . plans must be made early and.there must be careful generalship. The old gang of -Oklahoma are not ready to quit. They will fight with tooth and claw just as long as they have any teeth and claws, and the farmers must get ready for a rough-and-tumble fin- - pendence is won, and these farmers . ish fight.. The evil conditions that bite into their prosperity are the stock in trade of the anti-farmer interests. A good beginning has already been made. On September 6 last the ot=- ganized farmers of three counties, Cleveland, Canadian and .Oklahoma, . met at Oklahoma City to discuss polit- ical action and they adopted ringing resolutions on matters affecting their welfare. Prior to this meeting the Oklahoma Grange appointed a com- ‘mittee to draw up resolutions to pre- . sent to the League farmers to show where they stood, and this Grange statement showed that there was no . division of purpose among organized farmers. The Grange statement, for instance, urged: “And with equally firm resolution, let us organize ourselves into a firm political league, so that, along with the forces of labor, we shall triumph over the traitor at home—the prof- iteer—and thereby gain that complete freedom for which we have sacrificed and our sons have died.” On November 25, 1918, the farmers of Oklahoma will again meet to make a .declaration of independence. As in the old days the declaration of inde- pendence will be made before inde- will then proceed to win it. The war is over. The struggle for democracy at home is on in earnest. It will be a great opportunity for the Oklahoma farmer to be present at this new independence party and to have a part in laying the plans that shall free the toilers: of Oklahoma in the near future from-the domination of special privilege. League head- quarters are at 211 Oil Exchange Building, Oklahoma City. - THE UNJUSTLY ACCUSED The facts that the federal govern- ment has no charge against the League leaders and that the Minnesota su- preme court has thrown out, with withering comment, the county politi- cians’ test case against the League, ought to show fair-minded persofis - the hollowness of the charge. The “League experience, now that it is over, should be of considerable help to real _ patriots elsewhere in their fight against black-leg flag-wavers. Now that the truth has overtaken the lies, the Nonpartisan league has a right to claim of all persons that consideration due the unjustly accused—THE FOR- Straw ey Worth blow or couserves mo But you can't get way of getting all You can put this the original wi later on.

Nuxated Iron often increases the strength and endurance of the weak, nervous, run-down people in two weeks’ time, Itis conservatively estimated that Nuxated Iron is now being used by over three million people annually, and it has been used and endorsed by such men as Hon, Leslie M. Shaw, former Secretary of the ernor of Iowa; former United States Senator and Vice-Presidential Nominee Chas. A. Towne; General John L.
