DITOR Nonpartisan Leader: on Roosevelt’s recent speech. at Billings, be- cause ‘I need to fire a few shots at this old polltlcal gas-bag for peace of mind. I am not able to work at present on account of a relapse after an opera- tion for appendicitis and consequently have read quite a little. Among other things I have read several of Roose- velt’s bitter attacks on the League. I read the Leaders and then mail them to different persons who do not take the paper. On July 15 I traveled 50 miles to hear Mr. Townley and Miss Jeannette Rankin and must say it was the most patriotic speaking I “ever heard. The collection for the Red Cross amounted to $189. . - G. S. COLEMAN. Mr. Coleman’s article follows: We notice the colonel mnever loses an opportumty to compare the farm- ers’ organization—the - Nonpartisan league—with the Russian -bolsheviki ind of bunk colored curs of Montana, but is only an msult to thousands of patriotic farmers in the Northwest, many of whom have done as much toward win- ning the war as Roosevelt. The colonel will find out that the' farmers and laborers have become too wise to be caught on such chaff and voodooism. This rough stuff ' might ‘have worked 20 years ago, but the people have been tricked by profes- sional: politicians long enough. His attack seemed to be directed mostly He admits that -some ' of the farmers are well meaning but are*being misled. - He probably thinks the farmers should ask him to choose their leaders. They may be so ig- norant as to be misled, but still they are too wise to be led by him. He says he disbelieves in-any party, especially if it calls itself a nonpar- tisan party, which organizes a single class against other classes and seeks to appropnate political control in ‘its own union. Wrong again, colonel, it does -not organize - a smgle class against other classes. ‘It:brings farm- ers and laborers together and all’ others who earn: their bread by the sweat of their brows, and organizes - Industrlal Autocracy in New Zealand- (Continued from page 9) occasion for the attempted establish- - ment of a new Australia in South ° Amenca. THE BATTLE IS ON $ The trade unions were becoming : “an important factor in the mines, in the building trades, in the ship- - ping industries and among the agricultural workers. An Em- ployers’ federation was formed and backed by all the power of the government. Its watchword was that they would “have the right to -employ whom they please and to pay what they choose without being questioned on the matter by - anybody.” - They were determined not . to tolerate any comblnatlons 7 of labor. / - On: this detenmnatlon bemg an- nounced trade-unions developed more rapidly than ever.. The organization :of 'a National Federation of Labor had been undertaken. 'The employers ar- ‘ranged - for a universaltlockout under - the agreement notto re;employ any .

He insinuates that they are seek- | ing to appropriate political control in their own union. We will say it is’ not necessary for us to fight agamst political control for our own union, as the colonel and the war profiteers will do that. He seems to think it hor- rifying that we seek political control. Seeking political control was all 0. K. a few years ago when he was seeking control of the Republican party for nomination for president and Taft beat him. He was sometimes called a trust-buster, but the trusts did well under his rule. . The only thing he ever busted was the Republican party. He did a good job at that and threw the political power to the Democrats. When the colonel threw his hat in the ring. against Taft he_'evidently thought he was a moose, but when he saw he was beaten he tried to bull things through and start a new party, hence the appropnata name - Bull Moose. < Say colonel, what’s become of your Bull Moose? He’s a stag now, isn't he? According to the press»teports the colonel said there is not a Ger- man ‘abroad or a pro-German at home “who does not wish success to the Non- partisan league under its present con- trol. We suppose he or some of the copper-colored curs of Montana are authors of this misleading statement.. We could say with as much truth that every wild-eyed anarchist is wishing success to Roosevelt and is trying to find out what became of his Bull Moose. < G. S. COLEMAN. CONGRATULATES MR.

Dear Mr. Townley- Allow me to congratulate you on the decidedly democratic step you have taken, for I notice in the Courier-News that you refused to accept the presi- dency of the League unless such office be tendered you by the individual members.
