attempt and went on record as ban- ning politics as an organization. Profits of the cooks and waiters’ restaurant, opened in Boise after the. restaurant owners had attempted to break up the union, were more than $700 the first week. One and possibly two or more restaurants are to be opened by the cooks and waiters. KANSAS The farmers of Edwards county have been joining the League in such large numbers that the opposition has set about to intimidate those who at- tend the public meetings that are be- ing held in that section. George J. Klein, a” Barton county farmer, was billed to address a farmers’ meeting at a schoolhouse near Belpre the other night when “white caps” from the surrounding territory swooped down on the meeting, loaded Mr. Klein into an automobile and drove him to St. John, where he was placed under guard by the mobbists, who intended to escort him to Hutchinson. He eluded the “vigilance” of the intoxi- cated guard and returned to his home. The mobbists carried tar and feathers, firearms and a rope, and stopped at every telephone pole and examined it with the purpose of frightening Mr. Klein. How successful. they were, however, is shown by the fact that he returned to Burdett, in the same coun- ty, the next day and spoke to a good meeting of farmers who are interest- ed in the League. This is the third mobbing of League organizers in Kansas during the past year, and as this is written a telegram advises state headquarters that- Thomas L. Buie, another League organizer, has been arrested at Meade, in Meade county, for attempting to show the farmers how to use their ballots intel- ligently to correct their economic wrongs. At a labor meeting in Topeka April 9 a broommaker gave same figures which ought to refute the charge often made to the farmers that “labor is getting it all,” when he showed that the best brooms now on the market cost for the labor only 14% cents, and if the broommakers were reduced $1 a day in wages it would reduce the cost of the broom about 2 cents. He also gave some interesting figures on the manipulation of the broomcorn : MINNESOTA H. A. Fuller of Mankato, prominent League and Equity farmer, has been indorsed by organized lahor and the League farmers for the Republican nomination for congress in the second district. Fuller’s principal opponent will be Albert R. Allen, former coun- ty attorney of Martin county. Woman suffrage advocates, without regard to their party affiliations, in interviews in the Minnesota Leader commend the League for showing its friendship for the new voters by giv- ing a woman candidate a place on its state ticket. Henrik Shipstead, League candi- date for governor, is being received enthusiastically by organized labor at a series of speeches he has been de- livering to practically all Minneapolis and St. Paul unions. New Ulm elected labor candidates for the city council, in addition to labor victories in St. Paul, Willmar and St. Cloud, announced previously. A. E. Bowen, farmer-labor candi- date for congress in the ninth district, has begun his speaking campaign. MONTANA W. R. Duncan, a 67-year old League organizer, was met at Townsend re- cently by representatives of the Amer- ican Legion and the Montana Develop- ment association and ordered to leave town without delivering a scheduled lecture. Montana Leaguers have filed a complaint with the county attorney against the deporters under a state law making deportation a felony. Sev- eral years ago the copper company used this law against labor leaders who ran strikebreakers out of Silver Bow county. The League farmers now want to see if this law will work both ways. . WASHINGTON STATE Thomas Van Lear, former mayor of Minneapolis, is in the state to deliver a series of lectures.

NEBRASKA ‘V"“\“ b o e ro s & roFS Ao - A 9 L d BT P P > S % ~ r ] P >y e - I < TIEF The Lincoln Daily Star, the most bitter’ newspaper enemy of the League in the state, in a recent edi- torial charged that the World War Veterans “for the most part were made up of men who either were con- scientious objectors, or who, if in the service, were the wearers of yellow stripes down their backs.” The Plumb Plan league, railroad brotherhoods, American Federation of Labor and other progressive organiza- tions are co-operating with the League in the primary fight in Nebraska. A Plumb plan speaker is holding meet- ings in all the big railroad centers in behalf of League candidates. Prospects are very good- for the nomination of a number of League candidates for the state legislature and also for the nomination ‘of at least two of the three candidates for con- gress that were indorsed by the League. Ex-President Taft, in a recent speech in Omaha, declared in favor of giving every man, no matter who he might be, his day in court, and was unequivocally in favor of free speech and a free press.
