a member and we expect by next cleo
ton to have seven states for the league
and at least IS congressman.

Eyes. The reorganization Of North
Dakota proved that" said Mr. McKaig,
but we are not like the old Changers
or the Farmers union because we are
political in nature"
zone of the things that destroyed
the old Farmers Alliance and the
Populist party was, that after they
elected their people. the leaders quar-
relied among themselves for the plums.
Our plan of operation makes such q
situation impossible in the league. We
destroy the danger Of personal politi-
cal maneuvers.
FALSE RUMoRs AFLoAT.
'rHow about these rumors OF candi-
dates now being considered by the
league?" was next asked Of Secretary
McKaig.
These rumors are absolutely false"
was the quick reply. Continuing, Mr..
McKaig said. TT Is reasonably safe
to assume that any of the politicians
who at present have their lightning
rods up will not be struck for office
by the Non partisan leagues nominal
ton lightning. Under penalty of dis
mjssal, every league organizer Is I'M
der positive instructions to pull no
strings for or make overtures to, any
candidate for office. A. c. Townley
our president, has this idea firmly en-
trenched in every Lacquer and we make
good because of 1t. Farmers are not
afraid of us. Townley is one of the
great leaders of this country. In the
spread of this movement in the vari-
Gus states, powerful enemies have
camped on his trail. But in spite OF
the fact that he is accused Of every
thing from pro- German to a spend
thrift and a degenerate, he has been
the dominating factor in the spreading
of this organization-a true man and q
clean man and loyal man.
MINNESOTA CITED.
when you figure that in the state OF
Minnesota, for example, the millers
have stolen hundreds of thousands OF
dollares from the farmers and consum-
ers when you figure that our organ
ization has for one of it's slogans tic
put the Minneapolis board of trade out
of business where they gamble with
our wheat, yon need not wonder then
why the milling trust and the interest
controlled papers are against us
| When you figure the profits of the wa
ter power trust in the western states
upon whose trail we are camped, yol
need not wonder that their hireling:
are against us. When you figure gu
the graft of profiteer pirates during
the past year, and the exorbitant steal:
spectators have made at the expense
of the country, that our organization
will bring to account some day, Is i
any wonder that they malign us?
I'VE are behind Mr.. Wilson in max
ing peace through victory; in puttini
this war across; in destroying autoc
racy in the old world. We are Also be
hind Mr.. Wilson in destroying SOM
autocracy in this country in profiteer
ing and speculation, and will stand b,
him as long as he is the true grea
president we think he Is.
The league Is spreading rapid

ly say now that even If the primarie

cents on every dollar for a farmer to
market his produce. This 60 cents,
of course, covers freight, storage,
SPECTATORS profit and milling charges
until the consumer receives the food.
That gouge is too much.
FOR STORAGE PLANTS.
THE consumer pays too high and the
producer gets too little. We want the
government to build storage plants
and the terminal elevators and a few
flour mills, like they do in Louisiana,
in the countries of Denmark, New
Zealand and in Canada, so that the
farmer may have better marketing ia
cilities. Two months ago I went
through southern Idaho, where over
100000 bushels of potatoes had been
frozen because of lack of storage and
no cars Where the farmers needed
20 cars this year, they received one:
Many a farmer put in so to IS acres
of potatoes. Now, if there had been
central cold storage plants, built at a
nominal cost, the state charging
enough on the storage to pay for it.,
what a saving to the country that
would have been. It's been the same
all over these northwestern states this
year. You might say chat that 4,000,-
900 bushels was a temporary defeat in
this war. Every blow like that is to
be felt this winter.
Our idea is to get behind President
Wilson's plan in standardizing the pro-
, duce of the farmer That was the best
! thing which Mr.. Wilson ever did fcl
| us--was this year when the price OF
wheat was established at $500 OF
| course, that reduced our profit some
but we figured that it put the grain
| gamblers about out of business. Now
when this war is over, we are going &C
back up the president in declaring the
price of wheat must be established
again. What a calamity it would be tc
! the general public if next year, with
out any establishment of price, the
grain gamblers beat us again and the
price Of wheat put up to 81 or IS 3
! bushel. Farmers are not hoggish
They would prefer a standard price
year after year and make just returns
from capital and labor invested rather
than getting a big price one year anC
a poor price the next. One of the ulti
mate aims of our league, then, is t.
make farming a practical and sure in
vestment of time and money all over
these northwestern states"
ORGANIZATION GROWING

Yes. 1t is spreading so rapidly thai

kota is conceded to us again next cleo
