Dates For Presidential and State Primaries

With the presidential primaries
less than three months and the gen
eral primaries less than six months
away, North Dakota is getting into
the preliniinaries Of the actual cam
paigning that will last till the gem
eral election next November. 50
Already several well defined move
ments are under way, The Demo-
cratic state central committee has
met and once again the: Clear pee
pull have become objects of great,
consideration by the politicians and
their little brothers. Z
Lately the voters have been treat
ed with srectacles Of the usual early
attempts to make it appear a spon-
taneous boom has been started for
this or that man for this Or. that Of
flee, the man mentioned, of course,
not seeking the office but being
urged by the ''insistent demands of
his friends, etc" At the psychology
ical moment, of course, these candi-
dates will announce reluctantly that
the appeal of friends and seeming
general desire Of the people' that
they seek election has at last deter
mined them to risk their chances as
candidates.
State Primaries on June %.
And so it will continue until fill
ings for the general state primaries,
which fall on the last Wednesday in
June. This will be June %. The
presidential primaries come the third
Tuesday in March, which will be
March 81, but long before these
dates the campaign will have warm
ed up in great shape.
At the presidential primary cleo
tien voters in the various. parties
will select delegates from, the state

Since my articles began to appear
in the LEADER several League mem
bers have written saying the same
thing. Yet they all seem to like it
! and ask me to come again. Here goes,
then, and I'm going to scold some
more.
The fact is we farmers need scold-
ing. I am willing to admit that I
need it more than any other farmer
in Grand Forks county.
Here we have worked our heads off
for years. We have gone, elt fair
weather and foul weather. sick or
well, and produced all the wealth
this state has got.
And, outside of little rise in the
value Of our land, what have WE got?
I've worked like a horse for just
thirty years in this county, myself.
I've raised good crops and have rais-
ed bad crops. / have skimped and
saved and schemed. I have made sac
rifices, denied my family and over
worked everybody on the place.
And what has it Brought me?
A Bunch of Smooth Fellows,
I've got a fairly decent home and
little land and an opportunity to
work some more.
All this time there has been a
small bunch Of smooth fellows living
in this state who never do q tap.

are straight. They feel fine. They
look hearty. 5s

City Elections on March IL
A feature of the election laws
effective in 1916 is the setting for
ward of all city elections in the
state which would otherwise be held
in April. The law provides that in
presidential election years city cleo
tions coming in that year shall be
held at the time Of the presidential
primary election, March q. $
Ninety days prior to the general
primary election the law permits the
securing. of signatures of voters on
petitions to. place the names~ of as
pirants ON the primary ballots of
the various parties. Thus about April
i the petition pushers will get
busy. Signatures secured before that
time cannot be counted under the
law. IL.

Attack ON Primary Law.
There. have been rumbhngs the last
week or SO that indicate an attack
will develop during the campaign on
the direct primary law. Where it
will come from or who will be bold
enough to step out and oppose the
peoples primary which has supplant4
ed the logrolling> party conventions
in this state has not been indicated.
But the papers have carried articles
passing for news in which general
dissatisfaction" with the present law
is mentioned. as Fact and intimate
ing that "strong criticism" of the
law has developed among former
supporters of it. A modified con-
yention plan is suggested but nobody
is quoted and no names are mention
ed. Nobody, probably, would fhesi@
tate to say the primary law can not
be amended successfully to alter
some unfair and Objectionable feat
ures. But who Will step out and
father movement for the old con-
vention plan?
The nonpartisan leader., 1916-01-13
We Let the Other Fellow Make the Rules of the Game

Naturally they are not going to-
make the rules to favor US. They
are going to be. for the men who make
ssissm. ,That means we lose and they
control the game, hold all the trumps,:
place according to those rules. They
control the game, hold all the trumps,.
have every card marked, hold an ex-
ira deck or SO in reserve and then
have the brass to teH us to play the
game.
IS The Reason 4 Signed Up
That's the reason L signed up and
then spent FOUR days in that Ford
helping to get my neighbors to sign
up.
It's got to be done and we farmers
have got to do it. This League must
be built and right NOW. We have
wasted too much time already: :
We have worked eur backs long
enough. Hereafter wa leave that part
toktfie horses. From now on we are
going to work cur heads.
LET'S GET CONTROL OF OUR
OWN LEGISLATURES
We do the work, take the risk, do,
the planning and then take the small
lest end, and all because the other
fellows rules say we have to.
Next time WE'LL make the rules.
Then we swill have show for our
money.
: The purpose Of the Nonpartisan
League is to make it possible for
three-founths Of the people to have
three-fourths Of the representation in
our legislature.
No same man can object to this.
So let's all fall to- and BOOST.

"And what's the result? Low prices

high prices on everything you have
to buy, and no less than sixteen hum

North Dakota for the purpose of res

That's it, exactly. We get the

Short ON Representation
We farmers are over three-fourths
of the people Of the state and have
about one quarter of the representa=
tien in the state legislature. II that
isn't taxation without Representations
what is? !.
A little group of perhaps ten per
cent Of the people have all the rest.
They are short in numbers But long
in organization. They maintain d
majority in our lawnaaking bodies.
Majority means all because majority
rules. :.
Therefore this little group, by con-
trolling the legislature, makes all the
laws the rules under which the
rest Of us must live and work and do
business.
