America’s Pionser Dog Medicines Mention the Leader When Writing Advertisers News Notes From Everywhere NORTH DAKOTA ILLIAM LANGER, turn- coat attorney general, and R. A. Nestos of Minot are both announc- ed candidates of the anti-League forces for governor, with a possibility that John Steen, former state treasurer, also will file. While the anti-Leaguers are thus fighting among themselves the League forces are preparing for a rousing state convention, which will be held soon, to nominate another win- ning ticket to duplicate the successes of 1918. County conventions were an over- whelming success throughout the state.. In all counties in which there were labor unions, organized labor was given representation. More than three-fourths of the counties decided to put up county tickets. Twenty counties have adopted the county manager plan. Fred Argast, who has been holding meetings in three southern counties in which the League met with losses at the referendum election due to misrep- resentations of the opposition, reports that the farmers are fully aware of the deceptions practiced upon them and are stronger for the League than ever before. Spurgeon Odell has been holding a series of big meetings throughout the northern part of the state. Senators McCarten and Cahill also are holding big series of meetings and report en- thusiasm everywhere. s Former service men of Cass county are putting up a local ticket to oppose old gang political candidates. Doctor John H. Worst, immigration commissioner, reports many new farmers coming to the state. NEBRASKA The constitutional convention has adjourned without adopting any meas- ure to remedy the growth of land tenantry, without including the reeall of public officials in the list of meas- ures to be submitted to the people and without changing the provision that limits the amount of state indebted- ness to $100,000. The new constitu- tion will be voted upon at a special election September 21. Nonpartisan league candidates for congress in the third, fifth and sixth districts are making vigorous cam- paigns for nomination on the Republi- can ticket. Fred L. Crowley of Battle Creek in the third district, Edwin W. Reed of Haigler in the fifth district and J. D. Ream of Broken Bow in the sixth district are the candidates. They are being supported by the railroad men and union labor. Reports from over the state indicate that the mass convention of organized farmers and organized labor and other progressives on May 4, called to in- dorse or nominate candidates for state offices, will be the most enthusiastic gathering held in Nebraska in many years. George C. Porter, attorney of Mor- rill, candidate for the Republican nomination for attorney general and who was indorsed by the League, is making an active campaign. Porter will poll a large labor vote in Omaha and other labor centers. In a speech to a massmeeting of women that filled the Lincoln city au- ditorium, W. J. Bryan indorsed the Nonpartisan league program of gov- ernment ownership whenever neces- sary to curb monopoly. y The speech of an imported orator to the boys and girls of the South Omaha high school, in which he denounced the initiative and referendum and ridicul- ed the Declaration of Independence, has aroused a storm of criticism in Omaha. The Omaha post of the Amer- ican Legion has openly disavowed any connection with the Northwest War- riors, who brought the speaker to Ne- braska. KANSAS Labor has made the initial move toward political action through a farmer-labor convention, held in Em- poria on Monday and Tuesday, March 22 and 23, at the call of the president of the State Federation of Labor. George J. Klein of Barton county, field representative of the Nonparti- san league, was requested to address the conference on three different occa- sions and was heartily received. An incident of the convention was the public announcement on the part of a delegate from Ellis county that he had been a party to the attempted mobbing of a League organizer in that county last year, but that he had been convinced that he was wrong in opposing the farmers’ movement and had been misled by big business influ- ence. The convention passed resolu- tions pledging itself to nonpartisan political action. Kansans opposed to state ownership are frequently forgetful of the fact that the state now operates a state- owned industry that has proved some- thing of a benefit to the farmers. It is the state-owned twine plant, which James A. Kimball, state business agent, says will market its product this year at 50 cents per 100 pounds less than the trust prices, and in addi- tion will save the difference in freight between Chicago and Lansing, about 40 cents per 100 pounds. The wheat harvest generally requires about 30,000,000 pounds of twine and the state plant will furnish about 2,- 000,000 pounds of this amount, which will largely be handled through the farmers’ co-operative organizations. The farmer-labor political conven- tion just held in this state demonstrat- ed the fact that the labor boys realize how the farmers are being robbed in unfair grain grading. They inserted a “plank” in their platform calling for “Revision of grain grading laws to permit producers to realize the full milling value of grain, and requiring payment for dockage.” If the League farmers and the laboring men can get togethex and cause the enactment of such a law it will be worth the whole effort, to say nothing of the other ad- vantages which will come to them by political co-operation. MINNESOTA There are now seven avowed Re- publican candidates for governor of Minnesota, five of whom have already filed. The list is as follows: Doctor Henrik Shipstead (farmer - 1abor), Thomas Frankson, J. A. Schmahl, M. J. Dowling, Thomas Keefe, F. E. Ells- worth and Frank Nelson. Ellsworth withdrew a few weeks ago after con- ducting a flirtation with the Nonparti- san league farmers and organized labor, but has changed his mind again and decided to enter the campaign in opposition to the farmer-labor forces. Schmahl and Dowling will submit their candidacy to an “elimination” convention to be held early in May. W. I. Nolan, speaker of the house in the last legislature, and J. A. O. Preus, state auditor, also will be considered in the “elimination” convention plan- ned in defiance of the direct primary law. Nelson has not announced his attitude toward the elimination plan.

Lee (Leaguer) of Glenwood, the St. PAGE EIGHT ADVERTISEMENTS SELLS GUARANTEED FORD TIRES FOR $1 Mr. Herb Ford, tire distributor, 1746 Grand avenue, Kansas City, Mo., is causing a sensation in tire circles by - selling Ford tires, guaranteed in writ- ing for 6,000 miles, at $1 each.
