Helena, Mont, Dec 3l.-Believing
the liberal and fair treatment accord
ed settlers and the domestic irrigation
policy of the Canadian Interior De-
partment is largely responsible for
the exodus of farmers of the United
States, the Northwest Development
League, over the signatures Of its Of
ficers, today sent long telegram to
President-elect Wilson, urging a
Western man for the interior portfo-
lio.
While mentioning no names, two
governors in the territory Of the league
have been mentioned for secretary of
the interior and the leagues telegram
to the presldent-elect may be taken as
endorsement of either Governor Nor
ris, of Montana, or of Governor Burke,
of North Dakota. President Penwell
would not say the league had anyone
in mind, but simply 1--WE want a west
ern man who understands the prob
lens of the west-some one who will,
when it is already within the power
of the interior department, match the
policies of a foreign country and help
develop and settle our lands,'
The telegram follows:
Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President
Elect, Princeton, N. j.;
w, w. Scott, superintendent of I'm
migration Department of Interior, Do
minion Of Canada, informs us 131 900
people came to his country from the
United States last year, and estimates
more will go the coming year An es-
innate of their wealth by Mr.. Scott
places the same at $3.50 per capita.
With equal opportunities, so far as
land is concerned, on this side of the

Secretary Of Interior

line, the Canadian Interior Department
policies are widely credited with de-
priving the United States of farmers
with years of experience, accumulated
wealth and families of growing boys
and girls. In its work Of trying to
keep these people at home to develop
our agricultural lands, this organi-
zation seeks the assistance of our own
Interior Department, and it Is thought
in West and Northwest we can look
to your coming administration for CO.
operation and assistance.
We believe the Interior Department
will have more important relations
with the West during the next decade
than with any other part of the coun-
try and for this reason urge the ap-
pointment to this prominent position
of western man who understands the
problems, and can more readily put
into practice policies which will en-
able us to compete for desirable set
tiers with any other country. We be-
lieve a western man who has served
a western constituency in faithful
and earnest way, knows what is neces-
sary for agricultural development and
advancement, and can best understand
how to handle public lands, forest re-
serves, national parks and Indian res
ervations.
Development of our agricultural re-
sources is the special work of this or
ganization of commercial entities of
the west. We want the help of your
administration, and urge YOU to con-
slider western men whose public SER
vices might suggest themselves to you
before you name the secretary of the
interior.
