This Week’ —John M, Baer The second of the Leader series of portralt sketches of League congress- men is that of John M. Baer of the first North Dakota district. ond term in congress, was born at Blackereek, Wis.,, on March 29, 1886. He graduated.from Lawrence univer- sity at Appleton, Wis,, in 1909, and immediately after that removed to North Dakota, where he worked at civil engineering- and farming. In the years 1913, 1914 and 1915 he was postmaster at Beach, N. D., and -during 'this period developed his abil- ity as a cartoonist for which he is now famous throughout the nation., His early cartoons in the Nonpartlsan Leader were a great factor in dnvmg home the ‘League gospel and in rout- ing the anti-farmer interests. Mr. Baer resigned from the postoffice serv- ice in 1915 to give his entire time to the Leader. When the congressman from the ly after election, the farmers nomi- independent. In a special election in July, 1917, he secured more votes than all the old party and other independ- ent candidates combined. His congressional career has been especially brilliant. He was the first cartoonist to be elected to congress. He was the first Nonpartisan league man to appear in national affairs. His constituents sent him back again on November 5, 1918, with a vote of over 3,000 more than was given his oppo- nent. Among his great ‘efforts in congress was the initiation of the plan to lend $50,000,000 to the drouth-stricken farmers of 1917. The plan failed largely through the efforts of the re- actionary secretary of agriculture, but the reactionaries were forced to give some relief to needy farmers the fol- lowing year. : His voice has always - been heard on the side of the common people, and the farmers are going to send many more like him to congress in 1920. : HEAVY ANTI-FARMER ARGU- MENTS For the benefit of the anti-farmer speakers and press agents, the Leader furnishes the following handy list of names, all taken from one. editorial in the San Francisco Bulletin: Trouble-making organization. Machiavelian scheme. Ill-begotten heresies. Pacifists and obstructionists. A American Bolshevists. Pro-German pulpiteers. Fake intellectuals. Unattached labor agltators. “Hobohemians.” Adolescent revolutionists. Salon. saboteurs. Red pamphleteers. High-brow pacifists. Trouble-breeding radlcals. Soap boxers.

We offer here some 20 or more of the strongest arguments ever put forth against the farmers’ Nonpar- tisan league. If time or .space is short, they might be simply read off in the order given; otherwise it would between the “arguments.” Let us al- 'so add that there is no doubt about the patriotism of the Bulletin, the paper from which these “arguments” are taken, for it was directly on the payroll of the Southern Pacific for sums of $126 a month and upward for years. s Cover Congressman Baer, now on his sec-. first North Dakota district died short-. nated Mr. Baer for the position as an - be well to throw in a little Jocal color .
