After t b people o f North
Dakota had twice voted for an
amendment to the constitution
whereby the state could put in a
terminal elevator, several hum
dred farmers went in a body to
the legislature and asked that the
will of the people be carried out.
They were politely told to go
home and slop their pigs, that
they (politicians) were making
the laws of North Dakota.
Right t hen and there the
Farmers Nonpartisan Political
League of North Dakota was or.
ganized. 1t now has member
ship of $1,000, and is not asking
for an elevator, but is demanding
one with a great many more
needs of the farmer added. And
the nice part of it, they will get
their demands.
Here are a few of them as set
forth in the South Dakota Pro.
gram:
Exemption of farm improve
ments from taxation.
Rural credit banks operated
at cost.
State tie rm inal elevators,
warehouses, -four mills,
stock yards, packing houses,
creameries, and cold storage
plants.
State hail insurance.
State inspection of dockage
and grading of grain.
Deprive the legislature of the
power to repeal laws adopted
by the people.
The argument is advanced that
politics were very rotten in North
Dakota, and with our clean poll.
tics we have no need of such All
organization. Grant that oul
politics we're better than those
of North Dakota. Is it not be.
cause we have not asked as much
as the people of that state? And
the fact that politics we're worse
in the northern state does moi
lessen the fact that what is good
for the farmers of North DAKOTA
is good for the farmers of South
Dakota, Minnesota, or any other
state.

AN AfFEAL.
The vice interests of the whole
country are pouring money into
this State for the purpose Of defeat
ing woman suffrage. The women
Of our state aud all fair minded
men, should rise in their might
and sinite this monster machine
that dares, in this wiley way, to
use every avenue possible to at.
tempt to prejudice tn voters against
granting to the women Of South
Dakota the right of the ballot.
If the voters Of this State are to
he influenced in their decision,
why not take the opinions of the
great men of our nation. They
are openly endorsing this move
ment. President Wilson believes
in it; Judge Hughes who is Repub-
lican Candidate for the Presidency
is strong advocate of it. All po.
litical parties both National aud
State, have woman suffrage plank
i'll their platform.
Our State Universal Franchise
League. which has ON organization
in nearly everv county, aud num-
bers its members by the thousands,
is not monied organization, since
it is composed of the women of
South Dakota, who are not women
Of wealth. We have no large treas
ury with which to meet these i'll
sidious attacks, aud for that reason
we are appealing to men and wo.
men to do all in their power by

TALKS LEAGUE
Tells the Leagues Views and
Future Plans.

II CHS lllC LCdSuCS 1SWO dllO
Future Plans.
Editor of the Sisseton Standard:
/ note an article in your paper
copied from tie Summit Inde-
pendent under the caption of
Many Farmers Give UP Cash. {"
1t starts out with q goods road
proposition, then leads us to be-
lieve the farmers of this commu-
nifty to be a bunch of sapheads
upon which any old kind of a
confidence game can be worked.
Then a few facts are mentioned, !,
which to be brief, run about like
this:
A number of strangers came
to Summit, and after taken on
the guise of farm ers, canvassed
several townships and this is
their scheme. "They claim to
represent the NonpartisanL League
which h q been operating in
North Dakota
The writer then gives a partial
truth of what the League is and
then Saws:
"T.le Independent is not go-
ing to condemn this society"
Represented by disguised schem-
ers) but is going to give some
of the things it has picked up so
the farmer can make up his mind
whether he's getting his moneys
worth?'
Here the Independent reporter
shows his worth as detective,
and from what he picked up"
one would not take these schem-
ers, with all their disguise, to be
experts at their business. But
here the writer has wove q thrill
ling detective story, even to the
women in the case, into his arti-
Gle. We are then handed some
.commen, on the League, which
amounts to about this:
THERE'S no sense to this League
because the farmers have a good
majority of the votes in this state
now.
Sure there is no more sense to
this farmers Leag ue than there
is to bees hive because don't
the bees make a majority of the
honey.
One bee puts a little Republi-
can honey in one place, another
little Democratic honey irl an
other place, and so on. The
drones hold their job; gives the
worker bee the glad wing, tells
them what an independent insect
they are and there is no use for
them to hive because they make
all the honey anyhow. I think
can prove the logic of this by our
State Bee Inspector.
We are then informed by the
writer that the farmers of this
state have never been refused
any legislation they have asked
for. Sure, they get it like they
did the Richards Primary Law.
The article is then finished
with glowing tribute to the
farmers, by telling them they will
throw their money away for some
silly purpose, but would shun the
good road proposition set forth
at the beginning.
In short the article is meant to
take shot" at the Farmers
Nonpartisan Political League
which is now growing fast in this
state.
If the Independent Editol
knows beans about conditions
he knows that the farmers of this
state are robbed of millions OF
dollars each year, are trimmed
going and coming. Still. when 9
movement is set ON foot to stor
this robbery he throws up his
hands and yells stop thief. Now
If space will permit I would like
togive q brief history of the britt
of this league. some of it's most

Fire Destroys Farm Home.

Upon returning home last
Tuesday evening. Chas. Evans
and family found that during
their absence their house had
burned to the ground. Mr.. and
Mrs. Evans had left their home,
about one-half mile west of town
and had came to town to do some
shopping and had not been gone
over two hours, and when they
returned at about 9 9o'clock, they
found their home in an unrecog.
nizable mass of burning cinders.
This was a very severe blow to
them as their furniture and
clothing were also burned. The
loss was about 81 600 with only
5000 insurance. The origin of
the fire cannot be accounted for.
