ADVERTISEMENTS HE MATTER of supplying the farmer with good binder twine is not merely a twine-selling proposition on the part of the Harvester Company. It is much more than that. It is an obligation. When the original founders of the Har- e vester Company gave to the world the first practical twine grain binders over forty years ago, they automatlcally assumed the responsibility of insuring satisfactory opera- tion and maximum service from these machines. They successfully met that obligation with good twine. Today this inherited responsibility is eater than ever. Proper operation . of millions of good twine binders is threat- ened by many brands of cheap, inferior twine. The Harvester Company meets its obligation by supplying the farmer with twine of quality — A McCORMICK, DEERING, INTERNATIONAL Guaranteed for weight, strength and length. Your nearby International dealer sells it.

News Notes From Everywhere " Nebraska Makes Gains =] REAT gains for the Non- partisan league were re- corded in the Nebraska primary, as compared with the vote two years ago. Eighteen League candidates for state representative and six League candidates for state senator were nominated, chiefly on the Republican ticket. In addition organ- ized labor in Douglas county, which" includes Omaha, nominated two candi- dates for state senator and six for rep- resentative. In other districts League- labor candidates will file as inde- pendents. This result was achieved in spite of a blizzard that swept nearly half the state three days before the primary, and heavy rains which kept the roads deep in mud. George C. Porter, League candidate for attorney gener- al, made a strong fight for the office, carrying Omaha by lost by a narrow margin, due large- ly to the bad weather and road conditions in the country. League gress also were de- feated by narrow margins. Outside of the candidates specif- ically indorsed by the League the farmers made their votes felt, giving Senator Hiram Johnson a big lead over Generals Wood and Persh- ing, who were supported by the anti-farmer press. The vote in League cured the re-elec- tiom of R. B. George C. Porter, League-labor can- voluntary subscriptions were asked for the purpose of purchasing a chautau- qua tent and an auto truck for farm- ers’ and workers’ meetings. More than $400 in cash was raised in less than five minutes. World War Veterans of Idaho have organized locals at Twin Falls, Idaho Falls and several other cities in the state. The temporary platform states that the vets oppose the exploitation of their patriotism and loyalty by any groups of people for selfish interests, indorse an honest and fair bonus to be paid from taxation of all incomes in excess of $25,000 annually and they also demand an immediate investiga- tion of all war expenditures, such as the. Hog Island shipyards, aircraft production, etec. Commercial clubs are proposing to set Idaho ahead one hour in time. At present, using Pacific time, Idaho is 15 minutes be- hind the sun. On mountain time Ida- ho would be 45 minutes ahead of the sun. The com- mercial clubs have not once consulted the farmers re- garding the mat- ter. The Idaho Leader has sent a query to farmers and thus far nine out of ten replies ing to mountain time. The arrest re- cently of Ray Mec- Kaig, Nanpartisan league speaker, at St. Maries, Idaho, for attempting to speak to labor union. men and women in their own hall, has created a furore in the state, both among the Howell, progres- . farmers and the sive Republican, as glda;e cflt:’l;:t:‘);l;egngigerzl,rg:‘fjftzg workers.

Maries and cratic national committeeman, and elected William Jennings Bryan as delegate to the Democratic national convention. Fred W. Barnhart, can- didate for state auditor on the Repub- lican ticket, who attacked the League throughout his campaign, was defeat- ed overwhelmingly. The League had no candidates for governor or other state offices. An independent ticket is being selected at a meeting at Grand Island as this is- sue of the Leader is being printed. From the results in the primaries the farmers are confident of victory this fall. . IDAHO Old gang politicians of St. Anthony recently attempted to keep the farm- ers and workers from holding a meet- ing in that city by making it impossi- ble for them to rent a hall. The coun- ty commissioners were then asked to open the courthouse for the meeting, but refused. The great crowd finally took possession of the .courthouse steps and held their meeting in the open. At the close of the meeting PAGE TEN calling upon the governor to prevent the suppression of free speech have been passed in dozens of union locals. - MINNESOTA Organized labor made substantial gains in the St. Paul city election. Of six councilmen elected three are labor men and three are ex-service men. The only member of the old city coun- cil re-elected was Clancy, a labor candidate. Instead of having one member of the council, labor now has three members. William Mahoney, labor candidate for mayor, who led the field with 11,000 votes at the primary, increased hisr vote to more than 19,000 but was defeated by Mayor Hodgson by a narrow margin.’ The defeat of Mahoney is attributed to the reversal of policy on the part of the St. Paul Daily News, which up until the pri- mary had supported him, changing sides after large business interests in St. Paul had raised an immense “slush fund” and had decided to center their efforts on re-electing Hodgson.
