N. D. FARMER MAKES A
STIRRING LOGICAL PLEA
In FAVOR OF ROOSEVELT 7

Lisbon, N. D., March s.-To The Fo-
rum: Every farmer in the United
States is vitally interested in the cleo
tion of the next president, and we of
North Dakota also in who shall be
our next governor, hence want to
bother The Forum a little.
"a few days back commercial trav-
eler sent me copy Of filthy pam
phlet entitled Jim Jam Jems, and sent
word by the friend who delivered
It, that it was one of the finest things
in print. On examination 1t proved to
be nothing but a democratic political
campaign document issued to boom
Burke for governor and to scandalize
L. B. Hanna. 1t is one of the dirtiest,
most vile, vulgar and Iewd specimens
of campaign literature extant, devoid
Of wit, but filed with slurs and lies
Its attempted jokes are of the lowest
vulgar type, too silly to bring a smile
on the face of half drunken saloon

be distributed through the mails, but
seems to have adopted the adopts at
high salaries and enormous expense

to the high cost of living--I call them

tariff on wheat is 25 cents a bushel.
hence they can pay this at any time
and get a good market and better
price for their wheat. These figures
are based on the best grades Of the
Canadian wheat of the crops of 1911.
About nine e-tenths of the 5000, 900
bushels is of very low grade and so
damp that 1t has to be dried in our
terminals. This gives them a great
advantage as the most Of 1t has been
bought by the Canadian buyer at 81
cents and can be sold here for SS
cents, which will give them at least
II cents profit, Here Is the damage
that can at any time be done to our
wheat growers. The Canadian grain
Is mostly owned by the bankers who
have made loans on it and the banks
over there are hard pushed, hence as
soon as the wheat is dried, they will
dump it onto our market and down
will go the price at least from 10 to
Is cents a bushel. With menace of
millions OF bushels Of Canadian wheat
almost at the door OF our mills the
millers association and the wheat
ring can ride every farmer over a see

preaching by agricultural college ex-
perts and arm chair farmers woat
stop or change the production of wheat
because the world has got to have

his attack on Standard Oil. The re-
suit is a raise in oil, necessitatcd be-

! democracy. What a disgrace to our
boasted Americanism it is to harbor a
political party that has to resort to
such methods to gain votes and power.
1t seems sad to be forced to realize
that the brains of Thomas Jefferson
have degenerated by a breeding with
the denizens Of the slums so low that
the great democratic part in this state
must grovel along the lowest levels of
the underworld for votes, No other
nation but this would permit Its issue.
No one but the possessor of the lowest
order OF animal intelligence would au-
thorize and emanate such vile trash.
and were some of the authors dirty
stones he throws hurled back against
his habitation would not the glass fly?
I have been personally acquainted
with Hon. L. b. Hanna for over twen-
ty-fiye years, have carefully noted his
private and business life, and careful
ly watched his official career. / have
been intimately connected with him at
state conventions political gatherings
and in the legislature and elsewhere.
and know him to be one of the most
honest and reliable men in the state.
He Is staunch friend Of the farmer,
the laborer and all honest business
methods. AS representative and state
senator he was a leader and always
right with clear business head and
keen brain. His word with me was
always as good as gold. He is one of
the people and for the people even If
il, be, a farmer who the public thinks
needs to be shown how to farm.
Such a character as Mr.. Hanna
could not help but be prosperous and
make money when given such golden
opportunities as this state and repub-
lican prosperity have offorded and do
1t honestly and it is to his credit that
he has succeeded. No stones can be
thrown at him here.

state can be found and hope to live
long enough to vote for him.
The outlook for us farmers has been
pretty gloomy for two years. Presi-
dent Taft has waged a persistent war
fare against all the farmers Of the
union. He forced the Payne -Aldrich
high protective tariff schedules throusl
congress against the wishes of a large
majority of the voters; then reversed
himself and like a clap OF thunder
startled the farmers with Canadian
reciprocity, which was free trade on
farm products only; and when his
parting of the ways speech" killed the
reciprocity pact in Canada. t.,ey got
Mr.. Hill to reduce the freight on
Canadian wheat hauled into Duluth
and Minneapolis and forced cur wheat
growers to submit to the inIquitous
shipping in bond scheme now in
force.
Here is the result that can come as
soon as enough grain gets into our
markets. The bulk Of the 5000, 600
bushels of Canadian wheat nov arriv-
ed and in transit is of grade No. and
5. There is difference of one grade
between the Canadian syste.1 of grad
ing and ours. On this side of the line
1T is one grade higher so that their
No. will grade NO. 3 on our side. At
the close of the cash market on March
9, as reported in The Minneapolis
Journal, No. wheat sold in Mime
apolis at $1.05% and No. at $1.00 to
$1.02B. Winnipeg quotations are the
Canadian prices. The cash price there
on the same date was No. 4, 82% cents
and No. 5, 70A cents. The lowest
grade of wheat that was reported
sold at the Minneapolis markets oa
that date was one car of rejected at
'Ss cents. In Winnipeg the lowest sale
reported brought 81 cents. On the 9TH
er side of the line the local elevators
all over the dominion and the termi-
nails at Port Arthur and Fort William
are crowded full Of grain and about
$500 cars loaded with wheat stood on
sidetracks. 1t is estimated that at
least $15,000,000 bushels Of wheat is
still lying in piles on the ground and
about 20,00o,000 bushels yet in shocks
and stacks in the provinces of Sas-s
katchewan and Alberta, hence the
wheat buyers up there pay what they
please and grade low and there IS no
relief for the farmers until spring nav

When the 100000 bushels now in
transit arrives in our warehouses, here
is what can and win be done. Take

Because of the many complaints

Mr.. Manson produced a specimen Of

finger, he crumbled it like chalk.

dry dirt, and yet they want to pass it

This piece of asphalt was picked UP
IN front of 2l2s Walnut street by F. L.
jenkins on Dec. 81 he said. "A portion
OF the paving there sank. The public
works department immediately sent up
twenty-seven men to work on spot
twenty feet square. The fact that they
rushed so many men up made the peo-
pie in the neighborhood suspicious. es-
pecialiy when the werkmen refused to
allow the property owners to examine
the asphalt. The result was that they
simply helped themselves, against the
protests of the workmen.
Not only was the surface rotten,
but the concrete part was rotten as
well. The concrete must dry thor
oughly before the asphalt is laid, but
in this case the concrete was so soft
that the property owners could scratch
it with their hands.
