MORRIS has sent us an unfinished cartoon, which we are printing below. He wants the readers of the Leader to finish this cartoon for him. ‘ As readers of the Leader know crooked politicians in practically all the western and northwestern states two years ago tried to kill the direct ° primary law, which gives the people the right to nominate their own candi- dates. The League had enough strength in the state legislatures to prevent its repeal in all states except Idaho, Montana and Nebraska. And in Montana and Nebraska, after .the session of the legislature was over, Leaguers-used. the referendum law to prevent the repealing;law from going into effect until the people could pass upon it, and at the recent election.in both states the primary law was up- held by vote of the people by big ma- jorities. Now the legislatures are meeting again and the crocked politicians once more are attempting to take the direct primary away from the people. Bills for this purpese already have been introduced in the Minnesota and Washington legislatures and similar attempts are expected in other states. Morris drew this cartoon with this idea in mind. But it will be noticed that the big ruffian, represented in the cartoon as “Crooked Politics,” is say- ing something to the farmer, who stands with the “Direct Primary” in his hands. What is “Crooked Politics” saying? Who Can Finish This Cartoon? A Contest for Leader Readers To the person sending the best answer, received in the Leader office not later than January 31, the Leader will give as a mark of appreciation a copy of either Charles Edward Rus- sell’s book, “The Story of the Non- partisan League,” or Herbert E. Gas- ton’s book, “The Nonpartisan League;” and the original drawing of this car- toon by W. C. Morris. The rules of the contest are simple. They are: > Any one, man, woman or child, can compete, Write what “Crooked Politics” is saying, either in the space provided in the cartoon, on the edge of this page, on a separate sheet of paper or on the back of a postecard. ‘Write your name and address plain- ly and whether you would prefer Mr. Russell’s book or Mr. Gaston’s book if you win. Address the envelope or posteard, whichever you use, as follows: Contest Editor, Nonpartisan Leader, Box 2075, Minneapolis, Minn. Send in your answer as promptly as possible, Answers must be in this office on or before January 381. In addition to sending your answer to the Nonpartisan Leader, wouldn’t it be'a good idea to write your sena- tors and.representatives in the legis- lature, telling them that you are against any attempt to repeal the di- rect primary law and demanding that they work to preserve this law for the people of their state?
