Good friends of the Herald have asked why this paper opposes
the effort Of the farmers to unite in the Non-Partisan League for
the promotion Of their common interests. The answer which we
make here for the benefit of others who may have so construed
the attitude of the Herald toward the Non-Partisan league, is that
the Herald never has and does not now oppose the uniting of the
farmers of this county or this state, any more than it would OPP
pose an organization of doctors, merchants, lawyers or newspaper
publishers.
The Herald has advocated cooperation among the farmers of
Williams county and Of North Dakota and it believes that organ
ization is essential for that purpose. What this paper does not
believe, however, is that the so-caled NonPartisan league is a
real organization of farmers and it is this feature of the move
ment which the Herald opposes.
Could the promise and avowed purpose of the ex-sociaist agi-
tators at the head of the organization be taken at their face value,
there would be little about the league to oppose. Knowing the
seeing their methods, we can only believe that factions speak
louder than words" and that the league, instead of being formed
for the broad, Humanitarian purposes which the leaders seek to
exploit, has in reality been formed for the narrow and selfish pur-
pose of a few selfconsttuted leaders.
Even could we accept the leaders and organizers of the move
ment as honest and well intentioned men, we would still have the
and the new world to warn us that the plan under which the league
is organized is foredoomed to failure. Never has a wide coop
erative movement been Matched in the minds of a few and i'm
posed bodily upon a large territory. Cooperative movements as
IN small and simple ways and grown gradually to great and more
complex institutions.
been planted in North Dakota. The farmers clubs which are at
work in this and other counties of the state, are the foundation
upon which ultimately the farmers of North Dakota will build their
own organization without the assistance of professional ~agitators
who have failed in every honest and legitimate occupation which
they have undertaken.
Five years ago there were few, if any, farmers clubs in North
an active club in almost every township. The next few years we
firmly believe will see a gradual drawing together of these clubs
into county and district organizations which will finally result in
9 state organization which will be of permanent and lasting bene-
fit to the farmers Of North Dakota. And not only to the farmers
but to all other citizens as well, for what is fundamentally benef-
cil for any great group of laborers and producers, such as the

have had Hon. E. j. Taylor at the head Of the schools of this state
and he has made a splendid official and done much toward the up
building of our public school system. Mr.. Taylor has decided to
retire and therefore it becomes necessary to place a new man in
this important position, and in selecting this man the taxpayers of
the state should be very careful to see to it that the position is
filed by one who will continue the good work done by MI. Taylor.
One Of the men seeking this position is W; +. Hoover, now Prn-
