PAGE EIGHT —better engines || Whatthe Organized Farmer Is Doing Short Notes About the Activities in League States IDAHO NTEREST continues unabated in the League meetings which are now being held in the southern part of the state and the speak- ers are being received enthusiastically. . At almost every meeting a number of new members are made for the League and the old 'members are re-enrolling at a very satisf,_gc;:ory rate. * % % When the Republicans came into control of Idaho last year they made a great splurge and the legislature appropriated $25,000 for the purpose of auditing the former administra- tion’s books. They caused the arrest of former Adjutant General Moody on a trumped-up charge of misappro- priating $174. The judge threw the case out of court and rebuked the over- zealous ones. * * * Organization work in Idaho is pro- gressing most satisfactorily and the- organizers find most of their pros- pects in a receptive mood. The people have tired of the high-handed methods of the power-drunk Republicans who dug their own graves in the last leg- islature. \ EDITOR IDAHO LEADER. NEBRASKA ORMATION of a Women’s auxiliary of the Nonpartisan Y league in Nebraska has been suggested by Mrs. William Rutten of Cedar Rapids. In a letter to the Nebraska Leader, Mrs. Rutten points out that the time is ripe for or- ganizing the women of the state into -a cohesive body that will march side by side with the men in their efforts to carry out the League program and to put men into office who will repre- sent all the people. * * * Governor McKelvie has discovered’ that he has the power to remove offi- cials who fail to maintain order. He told the Omaha city council that Chief of Police Eberstein ought to be re- moved following the Omaha riot.. After the Beatrice outrage, in which a League meeting was broken up and farmers assaulted, the governor told citizens that he had no power to re- move the officials who failed to give protection to the farmers. * * * Because no farmer filed in Nuckolls county for delegate to the constitu- tional convention, the farmers of that county will write the name of one on the ballot on election day. A call has been issued for a massmeeting at Nel- son when plans for the selection and- the nomination of a ecandidate will take place. EDITOR NEBRASKA LEADER. MINNESOTA INNESOTA was one of four League states' honored by the Red Cross in its recent announcement of a $15,000,- 000 drive to cover a deficit. In its an- nouncement, the Red Cross board said that Minnesota, North Dakota, Mon- tana and South Dakota, four states in which the League is solidly organized, would be exempted from the drive be- cause these four states so heavily oversubscribed previous quotas that it would be urifair to ask them to con- tribute again to make up the deficit caused by the ‘weak response of other states. e T One thousand persons packed the city hall building at Lakefield, Jack- ° | ‘son county, to hear J‘.«»G;-»Solpis, 0. M. Thomason and Claude Townley. Lake- field last year was hostile to the or- ganized farmers, and in the county seat A. C. Townley and Joseph Gil- bert were recently ‘sentenced to 90 days in jail after a farcical trial. At Redwood Falls, where League speak- ers and organizers were mobbed last year, O. M. Thomason spoke to more than 500, farmers and their families. The meeting was held at the invitation of the business men. ; * * * Rock county farmers are incensed over the latest outrage perpetrated by . business men of Magnolia, when an attempt was made to break up a League meeting at which Homer Cook and Claude Townley spoke. Several of the small town business men kept their automobile exhausts wide open while Mr. Cook was trying to speak. The Leaguers then went to the farm of William Baumgarten, a mile north of town, GRS : e T Montevideo; which a year ago was exceedingly hostile to the organized farmers, recently offered the city park as a meeting place for League farm- ers. Nearly 1,000 persons attended the meeting, at which Mayor Burnip, Doctor Henrik Shipstead, former League candidate for congress, and O. M. Thomason spoke. EDITOR MINNESOTA LEADER. SOUTH DAKOTA HE political Huns in South Da- kota are again becoming ac- tive. The Norbeck machine crowd realize that unless they <heck the rapid growth of the Non- partisan league in the state their po- litical cake will be dough. O. J. Nel- son, national lecturer, is drawing large crowds all over South Dakota and in some instances the halls are not large enough to accommodate the large numbers who come to learn about the League work. As a result mob tac- tics are being employed against the League by the machine politicians. At Hartford a gang of hoodlums hurled missiles through the windows of the hall and shots were fired outside. At Dell Rapids, a-few nights later, another mob was organized to interfere with a League meeting, but merchants pre- vented an outbreak. * * * The League membership is now get- ting into the harness for action under the new Richards primary law. Pre- liminary meetings are being held to prepare for the legal conventions in November and December. The Audi- torium has been rented at Pierre and 200 rooms have been reserved at the Locke hotel for the accommodation of the League delegates to the state con- vention on December 2. Efforts are being made to secure either Governor- Frazier or President Townley to speak at the ratification meeting following the convention. * % % Several farmer and labor news- papers have been launched in the state recently to support the League cause, and several more are in process of or- ganization. The League organizers in the state are meeting with good sue- . cess in signing up new members, and altogether the League work is moving along in a satisfactory manner. . * * *. The Farmers’ union held its state convention in Mitchell last week. O. E. Wood, League lecturer from Ne- braska, delivered an address at the convention. : EDITOR SOUTH DAKOTA
