Idahe Lines Drawn for Hot Campaign : in Gem State ' Y OW that the Republican and Democratic state conventions v have been held, the lines are dpawn for a hot campaign. As told in the last Leader, the League and labor: forces nominated a complete ticket, of “dirt” farmers and real labor men, to run as independents, headed by Sherman D. Fairchild for governor and " H. F. Samuels for United=States sena- - Davis for re-election. tor. It.was mecessary for the Lea- guers to file as independents because the last legislature shut the farmers out of the primaries by repealing the direct primary law and going back to the corrupt convention system. Republicans and Democrats have now held their state conventions.'® Re- publicans nominated Governor D. W. Davis stands responsible for the sharply increased taxes in Idaho, for the repeal of the direct primary and for the institution of :the cabinet form of government. With ‘these handicaps he should be easy to defeat. The Republi nominated as their ' candidate” for United States senator former Gover- nor. Frank R. Gooding. Gooding was a candidate for the League indorse- ment for senator two years ago. ‘When thé League refused to indorse him on account of lns teactxonary rec- ord he came out as an opposition candidate. ' The Leaguers beat himr two years ago ‘in’the November elec- . tion and are confident they can do it . the Republicans came again., The Republicans nominated for re-election all state officers except State. Treasurer John W. Eagleson, who was elécted two years ago with League indorsement. Democrats attempted “to win away some of the labor strength from the League forces by nominating W. P. Whitaker, ~labor mayor of Pocatello, for congress, and Ross P. Bates, as- sistant city attorney of the same city, for attorney general. They spoiled all this, however, by nominating for governor T. A. Walters, a former at- torney general, who ‘aroused organiz- ed labor during his term of office by advocating®the creation of a state con- stabulary to put down strikes. This law was subsequently enacted when into power. Democrats nominated United -States Senator Nugent for re-election. Six thousand names were signed to petitions to place the League candi- dates upon the ballot and this fact has convinced the politicians that they are up again;t a real fight/this fall. Montana Co-Operators Rejoice in Victory of League Ticket F. LOWRIE, secretary of the National Co-Operative Whole- sale ‘society at Chicago and.’ president of the Monta ana Farm- ers’ Equity co-operative, has’given out an interview stating: “As a co-operator and a Nonparti- san leaguer I am especially gratified over the victory of the farmer-labor political forces. - Four years ago the Helena Independent, organ of Gover- nor Stewart and the copper crowd, . printed an editorial penned by Editor Will A. Campbell, entitled ‘To Mr. Lowrie,’ and closing with these words: “‘Mr. Lowrie, you need mnot think that you can bring the Nonpartisan league gang into Montana and do what they did in North Dakota.’ T want to plead guilty to doing my . it bit toward marshaling the forces of labor-and the farmers to the task of capturing their own government and tering it in the interests of labor and the farmers and their co- operative institutions. “Every co-operator in Montana, be he on the farm, in the smelter, in the mine or in the city factory, should rally to make the victory for the farmer-labor forces complete at the November election. The co-operative movement needs the protection of a strong farmer-labor co-operative polit- ical movement to defend it.from the political world -‘and to protect the de- | velopment: of a real co-operative com- monwealth of the workers of the farm,- mine, mill and workshop.” : Nebraska League Candidates Putting Up Strong Campaign RTHUR G. WRAY, League can- didate for governor on the In-~ %, dependent ticket, spoke at " three large meetings Labor - Day. He was at Plattsmouth, South Omaha and Omaha. place several thousgd people heard him. Rev. E. A. Spalding, pastor of the Holdrege street Baptist church of Lincoln, has made‘a public appeal for support for Mr. Wray. The failure of the state laws to pro- tect the farmer was-exposed in a suit brought by a Nebraska farmer against the C. E. Kern company, a graln firm in Omaha. The Kern' company is ad- mittedly bankrupt and is said to owe the farmers of Nebraska approximate- ly $75,000. A8 the state law requires a bond of only $2,1)00, there is little hope that the farmers will be able to collect what is owing them, Edgar Howard, former lieutenant governor, spoke at Lincoln Labor Day and is devoting much of his. time to the campaign «in the third congres- sional district for Mrs. Marie Weekes. He predicts that the farmer-labor can- ~didates will carry the third district by a big majority. Great enthusiasm has been aroused among Nebraska League members by the announcement that President A. C. Townley is coming to Nebraska for nine meetings on October 4, 5 and 6. He will make the trip by aeroplane. * F. L. Bollen, Independent candidate for attorney general, is making a vig- orous campaign, speaking almost ev- ery day. He had a big audience at’ Grand I&land on Labor Day. League candidates for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney gen- eral met thousands of farmers at the state fair. Washington State Convention Is Choosing People’s Candidates tion of the TLieague, the Triple Alliance and the Committee of Forty-eight is being held at Seattle to nominate a full state ticket for the No- vember elections. The candidates se- lected will start a vigorous campaign immediately. Every one is greatly en- couraged by the Montana victory. . Organizers and- propagandlsts for anti-League Qrganlzatlons in this state are laying themselves liable to prose- cution under the cfiminal syndicalism law by urging violence as a means of defeating League and labor forces. One of the organizers is proposing necktxg’ parties” for Leaguers. —* Walter Thomas Mills has been at-- tracting large audiences everywhere in his series of lectures which ended September 14. : S THIS jssue of #he Leader is being printed: a joint conven- At the la‘tter.. ¢ Voucan get an Avery Tractor outfit toexactly fit - Get your Avery Tractor NOW when it can give you the most valuable service in your fall and - . winter work.
