A Reply to the Leader"

ut was not my intention to write
any more concerning the Nonpar:isan
league; but an article that appeared
in the Leader for May IL, under the
heading 'Repudiate Quanbeck' is SO in
correct and misleading that it requires
an answer. When the league decided
to oppose me and place a candidate
in the field against me every obliga-
ton to the league on my part was
wiped away and they cannot expect
me to remain quiet and permit attacks
upon myself without making a de-
fense.
"In the first place it says that l vi
dated my pledges in coming out
against the farmers organization as
such. l came out against the leaders
and the methods used by them. new
er made any pledge that prohibited me
from doing this. But from the above
mentioned statement of the Leader it
is plain to see what meaning the Big
Five has put into the acceptance of a
league endorsement. According to
them and the Leader it does not only
mean that you agree to be the leagues
candidate and if elected to work for
the official program of the league; but
you bind yourself to sanction every
action of the Big Five and to follow
their dictation without murmur. In
short. you are simply tool. Let all
thinking men who have accepted the
endorsement of the league stop and
reflect.
The Meeting" that Repud:ated Him
"The Leader would have the peo-
pie believe was repudiated by the
membership and delegates of the Non
partisan league of my district in a
body. At meeting referred to in the
Leaders, article were present the foi-
lowing: F. B. Wood and William
Lemke, both of Fargo, and nine of the
league members from my county. The
statement sent to me telling me that
the 'leauge' would have to oppose me
in this campaign carried seven sigma
lures. The great majority of the
league members in my district did not
even know about this meeting. That
is what the leaders call democracy and
rule of the people.
"The Leader says that l was asked
to prove the assertions made in my
article to the Courier-News and that
l failed to do so. What l stated in
that article YVES not mere assertions
1t was facts that had already beer
proven by the actions and events that
had taken place. Those present, in.

ALLENTOWN DEALER :
BREAKS MILK TRUST

ALLENTOWN. Nov. S.-One deter
mined mix dealer, r. r. Reeser. by
resolute action has broken the Allen
town milk trust and kept the price
down to eight cents a quart. A COM
bination Of rival dealers who planned
10 boost the price called a meeting of
the farmers who sell their milk to
Reeser. without his knowledge.
While they were gathered in a
schoolhouse Reeser got WIND OF the
matter and hastily went there by auto.
Reeser addressed the meeting in
great indignation. and commanded the
loyalty OF the farmers on his record
for square dealing and paying spot
cash.
Another factor in his success was
that he had secured the option on
many hundreds OF gallons Of milk
daily from farmers in Luzerne county
