e ——————————— ot B O e A e ADVERTISEMENTS What IsBig Business? B USINESS, beit big or little, is production and distribu- tion of commodities and service. The size of a business is meas- ured by the service it renders the public, and regardless of the capital invested, it never can be- come Big Business unless its out- put of useful service is great. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is classified with big business, and it de- serves to be, for from the day of its or- ganization the goal toward which every effort has been directed has been to ren- der a useful service to the public at large. Originally the purpose of the Company was to manufacture and sell an illumi- nating oil of superior quality, but as the years have passed the Company has been able to take a wide range of other use- ful products from crude ‘petroleum, and "has made them available to mankind. Today the Standard Oil Company . (Indiana) is big because. its job is big, and as the job expands so must this or- ganization if it is to keep pace with the insistent ‘and ever-increasing demands of a discriminating public, and thereby discharge completely its oi)ligation as a public servant. 20y Standard Oil Company;v : (Indiana) : ; 910 S. Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IlL : 2 1866 Mention the Leader When Wriflh; Advertisers. As to MCAu‘l_iff‘e Lindsborg, Kan. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I believe I was the first president of the local Farmers’ union in McPher-' son county, and I helped organize the. first local union in this township. Be- cause I believe the future of the Farmers’ union is at stake, I raise my voice in protest against the atti- tude assumed by Maurice McAuliffe, state president of the Union, against the farmers’ political organization, the Nonpartisan league. ‘I dare Maurice McAuliffe to stand up and prove that he is not guilty of the charges here made against him. That he has.used the columns of the Farmers’ Union, our .official state paper, to carry on a fight against a political movement, the Nonpartisan league. This in. spite of the fact that our bylaws forbid us, which does not except him, from' having anything to do with politics in connection with the" Union. He has threatened to take away charters of local Unions for- passing resolutions indorsing . the League. Why should he be allowed rights he would refuse the member- ship ? While attacking the League in our paper, he has refused to publish let- ters from Union men defending it, making the excuse that the Union is ~not in politics. He has not hesitated to publish barefaced lies, sent out by a rotten political gang in regard to the Nonpartisan league, its officers -and the effect of the League administra- tion on the people of North Dakota. In doing this, I hold him guilty and a party to these lies. At the last two annual elections of the Farmers’ union, the election of state officers has been railroaded through. McAuliffe himself was de- clared elected by acclamation when the bylaws: say it must be done by bal- lot. I charge that no one else had a chance to- be considered for president of the Union and in proof of this will state that all our delegates sent from here to the last convention were in- structed to nominate another candi- date for president and report back to us and were unable to do so as they could not get recognition on the floor of .the convention. McAuliffe is always harping in the paper about the $16 membership fee which we pay to the League. The $16 that I gave the League was all, every cent of it, my money, and I don’t need | men like McAuliffe and Phil Zimmer- man to tell me what to do with my own money. If McAuliffe will tend more strictly to his own business, the farmers and the League will tend to theirs. D Such action as McAuliffe’s gets un- der my hide. Unless a change is made and we_ get another president, Mec- Auliffe will kill our Union inside of five years. The League at Lindsborg is grow- ing while the Union is losing ground. Let’s elect at the head of the Union a younger man, one who has vision, who lives in the future instead of in the past, as McAuliffe. I am a mem- ber of the League and of the Union and proud of it. - The League and Union working in harmony can ac- complish great good for the farmers. The farmers,-through the League, to make the laws so that it will be easy for the farmers, through the Union, to co-operate is the plan that will get the goods. 3 VICTOR C.
