FAVORS
PARADE HERE Of
CAMP MEADE MEN

In a statement to The Times today.
Commissioner Louis Brownlow IA
vored the proposed parade OF more
than 10000 Camp Meade soldiers here
on April 8.
81 believe that a parade OF the SOL
diers OF Camp Meade would be a fine
thing for Washington" said Commits
sioner Brownlow.
Citizens anxious that Washington
will get the April parade instead of
Baltimore believe that the Commits
sioners will work out a scheme Of
billeting the thousands from Camp
Meade.
In the absence of law governing bill
letting troops on the inhabitants of
cities, no arrangements for the can
toning of Meade's troops here can be
made, however, until there is an &C
ceptance OF Meade's offer by the Dis
trict Commissioners or an offer by the
people themselves to house and en-
terrain the soldiers.

currish statement, rejecting upon the
patriotism of the members of the
league who did not claim exemption
as a certain editor did This Is a
vicious attack upon the rank and file
Of the Nonpartisan League. Many
league farmer boys are serving their
country right now. Scores of league
farmers on the Nezperce prairie have
boys In the army and navy.
In North Dakota we have had the
same scurrilous attacks upon our pat
riotism. Word was published all over
the northwest that North Dakota fell
down on their liberty loan and Red
Cross movement. yet North Dakota
oyer-subscribed 70 per cent the second
liberty loan drive, and Minneapolis
the breeding place of the unfair, lying
press. and the millers' trust only
over-subscribed "a per cent.
The North Dakota farmers are loyal
The same is true all over the Union,
league farmers In this state are a part
Of our nation, loyal and patriotic as
any group of editors. They do not
need admonition from any editor about
patriotism when the said editor may
claim exemption from service They
have sent their boys to the front, they
have subscribed to the Red Cross
movement and the liberty bond issue,
they are working in the fields. What
else can they do?
In the state committee of our league

farmers from Idaho. four of the FIVE

members of the committee, have boys
in the army. In spite of this fact,
this editor Of the Idaho County Free
Press says, "Shcw us member Of the
league who has son In the army"
would suggest that the farmers of
Idaho county go into his Office and
show" him. and draw his attention
to that fact
True Mr.. Towhley has been crested
on a trumped-up charge of sending out
wrong literature. But that literature
has been going through the mails for
many months, cid it has been exam
ined and endorsed by some Of the lead
ing men in this country. No one who
read that attack upon the profiteers
thought 1t YVES disloyal until a malic-
ious county attorney In the southern
part Of Minnesota perceived the chance
to get into the line light of publicity.

in North Dakota snarled and fought
us for the past two years, hurled every
charge of graft and greed at us. The
farmers paid no attention to it and the
league captured the state. Big Bust
ness, now baffied by the league farm
ers, is fighting for life. The disloyal
barge is their last chance to save
themselves. The disloyal charge is a
camoufage to conceal their profiteer-
ing.
Big Business has many of the big
newspapers of this country. Big Bust
ness controls some of the wecklies, and
the very "weakl.es," of this country.
When the politicians swore out a war
rant for Townley and Gilbert, the kept
press used it as a vehicle to circulate
false charges about our league. The
lying press is the last resort of Big
Business.
If the editor of the Idaho County
Free Press lived In Minnesota, he
would know why the fight is so bitter
there. The millers and the grain
gamblers who have gambled and prof
iteered with the wheat of North Da-
kota and Minnesota farmers, live In
that state Of Minnesota. Most of them
dwell in the city of Minneapolis, with
the steel trust which has gobbled up
the great iron ore mines of Minnesota,
and the lumber interests that have
gobbled up the power of st. Anthony
Falls, and elsewhere. These grain
gamblers have cast their lot with
these interests" and have formed an
alliance against the league. 1t is GO
ing to be one of the great political bat
ties in the history Of Minnesota. Forty
eight thousand famers In Minnesota
say, gambling in wheat must stop"
The members Of this league in Min
nesota, increasing every day because
of persecution, are leading the fight
against these allied Big Business graft
ers. Is 1t any wonder that some of the
farmer meetings in that state have
been suppressed? Too much truth
about crooked business is told In these
meetings. These trust-owned polite
clans know what the league is going
to do to them. Therefore the politi-
clans do not want these famers to
meet
Now this, in a nutshell, is the cause
of the tremendous fight In Minnesota

field, Minnesota, the other day. the
league sent down from st Paul to de-

in this state from a handful, until to-

libelous, yellow attack, upon the Idaho
farmers, as emanated from the pen of
the editor of the Idaho County Free
Press in the edition of January 31st,
1918.
In that issue the editor said, describ-

Cottonwood and other points, are pro

NONPARTISAN LEAGUE
MAN RAPS LOCAL PAPER

1.-THE following article from the pen
Of Ray McKaig is being published at
the urgent request of the writer and
large number of local farmers who are
members of the Nonpartisan League.
AS far as the Globe was concerned the
recent Nonpartisan controversy had
become a closed incident. Our columns
are at all times open to the public for
the discussion of any question that
might arise when signed articles are
submitted for publication, and while
we may not always agree with the ar
guments advanced, this letter is being
published simply to give the Nonpar
tisan League opportunity to present its
side to the controversy.-Edit

to do service for Uncle Sam. They
were Clarence Elihu Scott, James

and Herschel Wilmoth Below.
Mr.. Scott was a leading young mer-

ard was a tool dresser for an oil
company at Broken Arrow, Okla. ;
Mr.. Spain was in the automobile
business in Tulsa, Okla, and Mr..
Belew was a carpenter in Broken
Arrow, Okla. They volunteered
under a special call and left for
Lexington, KY, to take a special
course in mechanical work in the
University of Kentucky. These
capable young men will serve the
