not with the. farmers Of Emmons
county nor North Dakota. 1t
is rather with those men who are
not farmers and who have not
even prospered in any walk of
life, the leader of which has a
record of dishonesty right in this
state.
The Non-Partisan League is
not an organization of farmers Of
North Dakota. 1t is a scratch

system promulgated by a few de-
relicts whose leaders career
would bar him from receiving
even a ten-dollar loan from any
sane or conservative business
man. The five men who control
the policy as we'll as the finances
and property of this league were
never elected to those responsible
Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1916-05-18

positions which they occupy by
the votes Of the farmer members
themselves. Oh, no. They had
the offices first and when they Sc
cured the members there was a
proviso in the contract that they
should retain all that they had Sc
cured.
Can such a plan bestruthfully
said to be the organization of the
farmers of North Dakota? We
don't believe it can.
The Record is a development
of the Emmons county prairies
Its interests are those of the PEG.
pie of Emmons county first, last
and all the time. Some one may
ask why we should have an inter.
est in an organization of a class
of people of a different walk Of
life than our own. The answer

Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1916-05-18

is far from the truth. We pro-
pose at all times to be as loyal to
the interests of our farmers as to
those of any man or set of men
in our state. All our citizens are
equally interested in the welfare
and future of North Dakota. All
should be given fair and impair
tial treatment. Our quarrel is
Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1916-05-18

is plain: When such plan is pro-
posed to completely dominate
the affairs Of the entire people Of
the state, all others as we'll as
farmers, we have an equal right,
or, rather duty. to watch as jeal-
ously as we may that the get
rich-quick schemers do not take
advantage of the honest and
well-meaning citizens of the state
in an effort to over-turn the gov.
eminent and to build up in its
place a controlled socialistic body
that breaches doctrines detrimen-
tai not alone to all business in
terests, but the interests of the
farmers themselves as we'll.
For the sake Of argument let
US assume that the Big Five
should make stick all that they
are attempting. Let us assume
that they could bond this state
for hundreds of thousands of dol
lars to build industries that nc
man could guarantee to be prof.
liable. What would be the con.
dition when these mountaineering
individuals had flown the coor
and the farmers themselves and
the other business interests Of
the state were left to shoulder the
burden of taxation for such
failures? Isn't the amount OF
taxation at present high enough
without attempting to pile on
some more to further the Wis
ionary schemes of men who have
never succeeded in their own
business undertakings?
Readers, if this line of reason
ing is in fact "buckine the far
mers" then you should certainly
take the advice of the Non-Parti
san Leader and put us out Of
business by withholding your
patronage. If, perhaps, there is
a little bit of truth and logic ir
these theories, isn't it just as pos
sible that the Record is leeiti
imately interested in the welfare
of this county, this state and its
citizens as the Non-Partisar
Leader, privately owned, and ed
tied by persons who never saw
North Dakota and its farmers un
til last year when it became ap
parent that their Zig was up" in
Washington state and that North
Dakota seemed>to afford some
rich picking?"
We leave it to the members OF
the Non-PartisanLea who are
readers of the Record to decide
Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1916-05-18

and his interest in the great mass
of the common people Of this
state. He is much better fitted
to fill the position Of lieutenant
governor than the non-partisan
opponent and he has made no Sc
cret pledge to any little coterie
OF organizers and agitators who
are business failures and who are
organizing and agitating for
revenue only.

The last man to announce him
self for a state Office is O. ].
Sorlie, of Buxton, who is a can
didate for lieutenant governor.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Sorlie, who is a farmer, was one
OF the men who became actively
interested in the Non-Partisan
League until he discovered that
such league was but farmers
organization in name only and
that it was really the closed
corporation of a few profession
al agitators who had played their
game to the limit in the state of
Washington and who came here
only last year to avail themselves
OF the easier plan of organizing
the farmers at so much per
head.
Mr.. Sorlie is. short and to the
point in announcing himself. He
is against the league" He OBJ
jects to a program based on fos-
terine class hatred and he re
fuses to support men who have
signed secret pledges to these So
cialistic derelicts of what they
will or will not do when elected
to office.
Sorlie will run against A. T.
Kraabel who has received an
eleventh-hour endorsement of
the Townley carpet-baggers.
Kraabel once served as lieuten-
ant governor. When he ran for
reelection he couldn't make his
proposition stick. He wasn't
even strong enough with the
voters to secure the usual second
term. Now, however, he has
hopes Of getting back if all the
thirty or forty thousand farmers
| in this state willactually do what
they signed an agreement to do
support all men who have been
investigated" by the above-men-
toned, self-appointed Big. Five,
1.-THE president and spokesman of
(which is a dead.beat with thous-
!, lands Of dollars of unpaid debts

Mr.. Sorlie has been a member
lof the house Of representatives
for four terms so he must have
had something about him to
commend him to his neighbors
lwho thus repeatedly elected him
to this important position. His
political history has been along
the lines of extreme progressive
ness. During all his eight years
service there has never been a
breath Of suspicion breathed
against his honesty. his integrity

Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1916-05-18

! This week we publish the an
nouncement Of C. A. Ward, of
the Hazelton country, for repre-
sentative. Mr.. Ward is one of
the two Emmons county men en-
dorsed by the Non-Partisan
League for representative and is
by far the best of the two an
nounced for the positions. We
have reason to believe that Mr..
Ward has signed a written.
pledge to support several mea-
sures involving state ownership
las well as a sweeping promise
to the extent of supporting gener-
ally the league program" Owing
to the fact that the membership
card of all the non-partisans
places that part of the leagues
endeavors in the hands of an ex-
ecutive committee of five men,
the president of which has beaten
North Dakota people out of more
money than most of us will ever
see, we would much rather see
Mr.. Ward actually a candidate
on his own merits, rather than
under signed pledges to men who
have nothing to commend them
to honest men. We can't believe
that c. A. Ward will allow him
self to be bound by his pledge to
these persons should he be elect
ed, but there would be more sat
isfaction in voting for him we're
it certain that his platform were
to the effect that he would meet
each bill and condition which
might present itself for his con-
slderation on the broad plane of
honesty and common sense,
without regard to the wishes or.
program of the non-partisan
leaders.
When the voters turn their at
tention to an aspirant for public
office it should be their duty to
determine his ability and his
honesty. The action which he
will take in voting on measures
presented to the house of which
he is a member should be left to
his judgment and common sense.
1t may prove awkward to be tied
up by promises in advance.
While the Record has a high
regard for Mr.. Ward as an indi-
vidual it cannot hesitate to state
that any honest candidate who is
under prediction pledges to no.
man or set of men would be-
preferable to a candidate, no
matter how honest, who will
have to consider such prediction
pledges in casting his vote. We
might state, in conclusion, that
Mr.. Wards announcement, and
that of his mate, Mr.. Harding,
says not a word relative to these
pledges which they have made
in advance. If they have agreed
to support a movement to boost
the taxation of this state by a
vast program of state ownership,
which we have good reason to
believe is the case, they are as
silent as the grave in their polit-
ical announcement.
