The nonpartisan leader., 1918-02-25
MIGHT DO A LOT WORSE

Representative Leiderbach, of Dunn
county, is quoted as having said:
Frazier will be our next governor,
all right. We're going to keep on
electing him governor as long as we
need him, and then we're going to
send him to the United States senate
or make him president of the United
States.' And why not? Lynn J. Fra
zier is the first governor ever elected
by the Nonpartisan league, and would
be the logical man for president
should the League gain control of ma
tional affairs, which it will, if it con-
tinues to expand as rapidly in the
future as it has in the past Gov.
Frazier is big man, mentally and
physically, and when Woodrow Will
son gets through with the job of be-
ing president, we can see no logical
reason why Lynn J. Frazier shouldn't
step into Mr.. Wilson's shoes.-PAL-

The nonpartisan leader., 1918-02-25
HAS NO SEED OR FEED
Fortuna, N. D..


Editor Nonpartisan Leader:
l had crop failure this year. I
threshed 280 bushels of wheat, which
got No. 2 grade for. got "a bushels
of flax and 234 bushels of feed off
about 100 acres, which seeded in the
spring of 1917. My crop just paid in
terest, taxes, insurance, and fuel for
the winter.
Now have no seed nor feed to put
in crop in 1918. The banks here
seem to be very short of money, at
least that is what they tell me. Now
1 must have help or can not put in
crop in 1918. If you know Of any
way which may obtain help in regard
to feed and seed please favor me with
your reply. 1 understand that there
is bill before congress to help the
farmers. If it goes through to whom
should report my circumstances, and
when.
I have noticed how Big Biz has call
ed the League traitor and all such
things, but it has the most patriotic Or
ganization on the face of the earth and
it will stand back of the government in
everything. suppose you have noticed
how patriotic Big Biz has been in
helping the government in time of
need. I could point out several things
in regard to Big Biz which the world
would have to admit was not patriotic
Of course I am just one of those un
educated "hayseeds" who has no right
to complain, but ought to just raise
wheat and slop the hogs. I hope the
League will go down in history and
cause as much excitement as it has
caused in. North Dakota in it's short
life up to now. Iremain a busy hustler
for the League.
B. r. o.
If the Baer bill passes it will provide
for the applications of those coming
under it's provisions, and the Leader
will announce them at once fully. -
